The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It is smaller than other models and makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean and is also rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more randomized pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example brushrolls need to 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.

The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to draw an outline for 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 collecting pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or finishing its work.

The app was too easy and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge 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 a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

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

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. While this was rare but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
