The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.
It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and is effective however it's something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. They also have a flexible side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
robot cleaner -based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and select between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
This device has a fairly high price tag but has a variety of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. robot vacuum cleaners reviews made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair from pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that signalled when it was beginning or completing its task.
The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house 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 can be found in our review, but it comes with some distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.
The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually switch between the two, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.
On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy units.
