The
Best Robot Vacuum That MopsNoah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, focusing on
robot cleaner with mop vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the
best robot hoover navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.
It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into difficult corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something you'll have to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near 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 level and select either a back-and-forth or a 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 also deactivate the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rug.
The device comes with a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes 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 neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two components that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to shield specific areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able to collect some of the hair that our cats shed, and even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus
robot vacuum that vacuums and mops is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base has several control buttons that let you manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify 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 sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its app.
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 the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking
robot vacuums best, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
