The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in one go. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaner reviews vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It doesn't make the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and works well however this is something you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this automatic vacuum cleaner and mop solely for the purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuum cleaner reviews vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more randomized pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rug.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. It is important to remember that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that is equipped with an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was starting or completing its task.
The app was too easy and you had to change the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app cannot store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people 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 also has distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.
Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.
On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
