The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some models have superior mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic automatic vacuum cleaner and mop that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It is smaller than other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger debris like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum cleaner best vacuum for mopping purposes it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. 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 remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need 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 should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. It has a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. Its powerful performance, intelligent 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 can handle mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned 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 both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots that vacuum and mop struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few nice jingles that signalled when it was starting or finished its work.

The app was too easy and you had to change the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are 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 will occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

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