The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some of them have excellent 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 hoover vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through a clean.

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 kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest best rated robot vacuum mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install, and it works well. However when you purchase this Best robot vacuum cleaner UK vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning robot mop and vacuum machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively rapid.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter 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 disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rug.

This device has a fairly expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It is important to note that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 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 that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. This includes the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair from pets. It was able capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few lovely jingles to let you know when it was beginning or completing its task.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it also has distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map 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 gets entangled in a blockage, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can lead to 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 modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in the market that is dominated by boxy models.
