The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities 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 select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 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 recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's extremely quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up 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 on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects like books and broken toys.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums with mop vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't create the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and works well however it's something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

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 an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surface areas. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot cleaner with mop has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. 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 worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan map, which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot mop is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it also has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot vacuum with mop, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start cleaning or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that 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 apparatus. It's a big change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
