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, focusing on robot vacuum cleaner vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It is smaller than other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the Best robot vacuum cleaner UK navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.

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 a great choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will determine how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but has many smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

The robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. These include a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that has an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated however, they mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair of pets. It was able capture some of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was about to start or completing its task.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to switch out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and an automatic vacuum cleaner 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base has a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling 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 happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use, which can 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, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
