The Best 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. Multitaskers are a great option for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts 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 replenish its battery mid-clean.
It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in one go. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to remove dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into tight corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't create the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7.
best inexpensive robot vacuum 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 when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and efficiently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surface areas. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device comes with a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three month.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It's a top-performing device, smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't need 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 was its precise map of your floorplan, which it uses to determine a route when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some nice jingles to signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app cannot save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base comes with several control buttons that let you manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture 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 at recognising objects.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to 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 came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy models.
