The Best robot vacuum uk Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves 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 other models on this list making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.
It's 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 kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is useful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to set up, and it works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum reviews vacuum to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device has a expensive price, but comes with a large selection of advanced features. It's important to note that it incurs recurring expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.
This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety 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 has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best automatic vacuum feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to draw a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able capture the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some nice jingles that let you know when it was beginning or finishing its work.
The biggest flaws were its simple app and the requirement to switch between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.
The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great 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 eliminate 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 is entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.
On the bright 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 and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
