The best robotic mop and vacuum Robot vacuum that mops (telegra.ph)

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than other options which makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is useful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest best rated robot vacuum mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and performs well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes 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 comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. They also have a flexible side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will affect how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of smart features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops is best rated robot vacuum highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that 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 some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was in the process of 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 store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

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

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses 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.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another possible issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that 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 created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
