The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Robot Vacuums That Mop 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. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are ideal for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill 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 easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum reviews mops and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and is effective however, it's something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

This device has a fairly high price tag but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It's important to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.

The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. These include an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some nice jingles that signalled when it was about to start or completing its task.

The app was too easy and you had to change the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot mop that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it also has unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot cleaner with mop, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then 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 become stuck when it is entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
