The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities 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 to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if cleaning 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 extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install and works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum to mop it is important to be aware of this.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it comes with some unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock which doubles as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

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

On the positive 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. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
