The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads for 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 and makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through an efficient.

It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and poop easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house, identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to note that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. These include an energy button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The best rated robot vacuum is divided into two components that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which includes a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best robotic mop and vacuum feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair from pets. It was able to capture some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was starting and finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive 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, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxes and clunky models.
