The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves 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 other options and makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't produce 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 specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is sold separately from the autonomous vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something that you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot hoover vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction and select between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of advanced features. It is important to remember, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example 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 should be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot vacuum cleaner and mop feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture 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 a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect a large amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was beginning or finished its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to switch out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

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 distinct features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with several control buttons that let you manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage like the power cable that is draped 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, especially since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
