The Best robot vacuum that mops (153.126.169.73)

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free 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 making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes when 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 during the cleaning.

It is very efficient and does an outstanding 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 in just one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well, but it's something 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 which mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively rapid.

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

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has recurring expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has microfiber pads. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot cleaner feature was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to draw a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that indicated when it was beginning or completing its task.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of 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, however it comes with some distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons that let you manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot hoover or run the dock’s auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of 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 sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
