The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops (Menwiki.Men)
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to remove mopping from their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts 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 replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's extremely 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 living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one motion. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and works well however 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 stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a expensive price, but has a variety of advanced features. It's important to keep in mind that it has regular costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.
The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two modules which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which includes microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting pet hair. It was able to capture some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low and there were lovely jingles that inform you that it was starting and getting its work done.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a pain if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
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 most appealing feature is its huge dock which doubles as the robot vacuum cleaner's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot vacuum cleaner reviews or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums the X1 Omni uses 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.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and 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 conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
