The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum combinations. These multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best rated robot vacuum navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.

It's very efficient and does a great 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 only one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something that you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty 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 wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuums best vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot vacuums that mop is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that has an elastomer pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best rated robot vacuum feature was its precise floorplan which it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to shield specific areas of your home from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up pet hair. It was able to collect a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some nice jingles that signalled when it was starting or completing its task.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, however it has some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes 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.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets caught in a hazard like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxes.
