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 mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and 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 object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 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 top up its battery part way through an efficient.
It is very 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 sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can 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 tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of it 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 is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the odors.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rug.
It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's important to keep in mind that it has periodic costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes 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 a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with a mop.
robot vacuums cheap discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to capture some of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was starting or finished its work.
The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify 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 could sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert in its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
