The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping it is important to be aware of this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.
The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of advanced features. It's crucial to remember that it carries recurring costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank 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 much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. It has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able capture the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that let you know that it was starting and finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. robot hoover isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a hassle if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect 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.
This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
