The best robot vacuum that mops,

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a
robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the
best automatic vacuum cleaner navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through an efficient.
It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's easy to install and is effective however, this is something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of
robot cleaner with mop vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of advanced features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every one to three months.
The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. These include a power 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 task. 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
If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able to collect the majority of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the necessity to swap out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock that doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.
The base has a few control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni, like other
robotic hoovers vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are 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.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and 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 modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for a market dominated by clunky boxes.
