The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops (Setiathome.Berkeley.Edu)

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. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum and mop robot vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through an efficient.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop rotates at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaner best mops and vacuums I've tested. 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 S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot 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 cleaner with a wide range of features.

The device comes with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will affect the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device has a fairly expensive price, but has a variety of innovative features. It's important to remember that it carries periodic costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. It has an energy button that serves 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 has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan map that it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to protect specific areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to let you know that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it has some unique features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock that doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink and a 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 and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

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

On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuums that mop, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
