What Do You Know About Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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 equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are ideal for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner (site) that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It is very quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning robot mop and vacuum up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots that vacuum and mop, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuums and mop I've ever used. It doesn't create the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

This device has a fairly high price tag but has a variety of smart features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has recurring costs 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 should be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads must be changed every three month.

The robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were pleasant jingles to inform you that it was beginning and finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the necessity to change between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it has certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot mop or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
