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 can be a great option for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the Best robot vacuum cleaner UK navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's efficient and does a great 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 in just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as good. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean 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 on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping 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 its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well however it's something you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device has a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It's important to keep in mind that it has periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

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

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few nice jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to switch out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks or recall the robot, or run the dock's best automatic vacuum and mop emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around 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 stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue apart from the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or 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 huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
