You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves 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 models on this list, making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and robot vacuum that mops suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning robot mop and vacuum my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. 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. The front arms can be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaners uk mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping 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 is simple to install and works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes, you will need 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 cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and also find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. It has a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some nice jingles to signal that it was starting and finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it has some distinct features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the autonomous vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise in finding objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. While this was rare but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses and can cause mildew or 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 came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
