The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through cleaning.

It is very quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop rotates at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but it's something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of advanced features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular 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 is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three month.

The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which has an elastomer pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was 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 mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting pet hair. It was able capture the majority of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots that vacuum and mop struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that let you know when it was starting or finished its work.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can best automatic vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base has a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic hoover emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum mop cleaner robot.

The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its application.

Another possible issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause 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 conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy units.
