The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's fast and does an excellent 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 sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum uk vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install and performs well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely 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 is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also set 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 avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of advanced features. It is important to keep in mind that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. These include an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. 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 that has a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect many of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot vacuums with mop were low and there were lovely jingles that let you know that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good robot vacuum option for those 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 can be found in our test, but it also has distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.

The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot vacuum cleaners uk, or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognising objects.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.

On the bright side it's worth noting that 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 welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
