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. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be a great option for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.

It's extremely quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help draw away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger objects like books and broken toys.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum reviews vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce 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 exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective, but this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

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 an ideal choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs recurring expenses in the form mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The vacuum mop cleaner robot also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes a microfiber pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots that vacuum and mop struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was starting and working towards its goal.

The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which could be a pain for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people 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 of our review. However, it does have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off a child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 can occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. 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 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 apparatus. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
