The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those looking to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 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 can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger objects like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaner best vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the automatic vacuum and mop robot. It is easy to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping it is important 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 efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning robot mop and vacuum system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rug.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of advanced features. However, it's important to remember that it carries recurring costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance 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 should be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also has 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 a good choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate floorplan that it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair shed by our cats, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start cleaning, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to turn off the child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.

On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuum cleaners best thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy units.
