Is Best Robot Vacuum That Mops The Best There Ever Was

The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free 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, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best robot vacuum that mops navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuums that Mop vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not 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 protrudes out a little more than other robots that vacuum and mop. This is useful when you're trying to get into tight corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surface areas. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. It has an energy 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 once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that has microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan map, which it uses to draw an outline for 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' and virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able capture a lot of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was beginning or completing its task.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base comes with several control buttons that let you manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 could occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
