The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaners uk mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't create the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to install and performs well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a range of features.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. However, it's important to remember that it carries regular costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and Best Robot Vacuum That Mops comes with a wide array of physical automation features. These include a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with little effort.

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

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting pet hair. It was able capture a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few lovely jingles to signalled when it was beginning or finished its work.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock that doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base also has a number of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning, recall the robot, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or 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 came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxes.
