You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those who want to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best robot hoover navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one motion. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's easy to install and works well however, it's something you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively rapid.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' and a Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able capture many of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots that vacuum and mop have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some pleasant jingles to inform you that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum cleaners reviews vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock that doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic vacuum and mop robot emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
