The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum and mop vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of my favorite navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums that Mop vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for 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 recharge its battery mid-clean.
It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, 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 machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and carpets.
The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to remember, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.
This robotic hoovers vacuum cleaner is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot hoover and mop vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned but they're a good thing because that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or finished its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the need to switch out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't hold multiple maps, which can be a problem when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base comes with a few control buttons, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes 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 conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it is entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.
Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
