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 equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.
It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.
The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like books and broken toys.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is 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 sold separately from the vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely to mop you must pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other
robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively rapid.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor close 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 adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device comes with a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.
This
robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs 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 picking up pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that let you know when it was beginning or finishing its work.
The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it also has unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the
robot vacuum reviews or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other
robotic cleaner and mop vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in finding objects.
This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
