The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and best robot vacuum cleaner and mop vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic cleaner and mop vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other models and makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined 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 comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through a clean.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective, but it's something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

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 variety of features.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price, but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It's important to note that it incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need 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 three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with 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 that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which is equipped with microfiber pads. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able capture a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some nice jingles to signal that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

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

The base has a few 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 buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around 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 stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets caught in a hazard like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This can lead to mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuum reviews thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxes.
