The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, 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 you should choose if you want a robot vacuums that mop vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through an efficient.
It's extremely fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as good. The mop rotates at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot mop vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't make as loud of a 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 utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install, and it works well. However, if you are buying this robot cleaner vacuum solely for mopping, you will need to be aware of this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.
The device has a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and efficiently. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly 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 even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads should be replaced every one to three month.
This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. This includes the power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus Robot Vacuums That Mop vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan, which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your house from being swept with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was starting and finishing its work.
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 save multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, but it also has unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock that doubles as the robot hoover's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.
The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture 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 can occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.
Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
