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 equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts 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 recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one motion. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in difficult corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It doesn't make the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and performs well however, this is something you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum uk vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuum cleaners uk vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a range of features.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to remember that the device incurs recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry 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 uses when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were pleasant jingles to inform you that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to change the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock which doubles as the robot vacuum uk's charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

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

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets caught in an obstacle, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch 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 the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in the market that is dominated by boxy models.
