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 equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that 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 packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through an efficient.
It's fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like broken toys and books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. robot vacuum cleaners reviews is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and performs well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.
It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. 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 mop is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that includes a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was about to start or finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who are looking for 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 comes with some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock, which serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press 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.
Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.
Another possible issue 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 that bad but mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and 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 modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy models.
