Is Best Robot Vacuum That Mops The Best There Ever Was?

The best robot vacuum and mop robot cleaner Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if 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 during the cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in tight corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something that you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.

The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many 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 reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can move through your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a high price tag but comes with a large selection of advanced features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need 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 should be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. It has the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum with mop vacuums that mop (read review) vacuum and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module 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 have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan that it uses to create an outline for cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your house from being cleaned with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able capture the majority of hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or finished its work.

The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a problem when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuums best vacuum that mops in our review, however it also has distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning job or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This is a rare event however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another potential downside 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, except that mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
