The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at good robot vacuum Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums with mop vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some 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 vacuums and mops vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through an efficient.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to automatic vacuum and mop carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the automatic vacuum and mop. It is easy to set up and works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum for mopping it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It's important to note that it incurs periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need 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 should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want an organized home that doesn't require a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes an elastomer pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily 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 mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few nice jingles that let you know when it was about to start or finished its work.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it also has distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning job or 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 option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets caught in an obstacle like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't 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 the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
