The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and cleaning robot mop and vacuum Lab.

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers can be a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their list of things to do. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other options which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired 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 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to remove dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop rotates at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum uk vacuums and mops I've ever tried. 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 only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. These include a power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum uk is divided into two modules which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which is equipped with microfiber pads. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it has some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its huge dock that serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
