The best robot vacuum and mop 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 equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum mop cleaner robot cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It features 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 will even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep 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 tried. It doesn't create as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and works well however, this is something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuum cleaner vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near 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 app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It is important to remember that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. This includes the power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It's a top-performing device, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

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

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the requirement to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't hold multiple maps, which could be a hassle if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually start cleaning tasks or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. This is a rare event, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad apart from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.

On the positive side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
