The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner best vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot 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 is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.
It is very efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install and works well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely to mop 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 is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and effectively. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce odors.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which 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 note that it incurs recurring expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.
The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module that has a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to protect certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture many of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was beginning and working towards its goal.
The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot cleaner that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it has some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally become so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses and can cause mildew or 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 significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
