The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to remove mopping from their list of things to do. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for 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 on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot automatic vacuum cleaner and mop. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if 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 recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's 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 motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into tight corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't make the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the best automatic vacuum cleaner. It is easy to install and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.

The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surface areas. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It is important to remember that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and 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.

The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

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

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was about to start or completing its task.

The app was too basic and you had to change the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which could be a problem when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus Best robot vacuum cleaner UK is a great choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have certain unique features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the autonomous vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxes.
