The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be ideal for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best robot hoover navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic cleaner and mop vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well however, this is something you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing 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 comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient 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 can then use this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The 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 which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to protect specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

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

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

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can 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 came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
