The Best robot vacuum that mops (Mdwrite website)

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum cleaner navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's extremely quick 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 pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful in narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot mop vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective, but it's something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.

The device comes with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It is important to remember that the device incurs recurring expenses in the form mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum uk vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.

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

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to protect certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that let you know that it was starting and getting its work done.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or start the dock's auto vacuum and mop-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture 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 can sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and 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 major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing sight in a space that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
