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 equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This results in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. This includes 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. The mop pads are washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. These include the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best 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 allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or completing its task.

The app was too basic and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock that serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.

The base comes with several control buttons that let you manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer 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 in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang &amp
