The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a best robotic mop and vacuum vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through a clean.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. 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 is easy to set up, and it works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum to mop you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able capture a large amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were pleasant jingles to let you know that it was starting and working towards its goal.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for 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 has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot vacuums with mop, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons that let you manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic vacuum cleaner and mop emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic hoovers vacuums uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and Best Robot Vacuum is a refreshing view in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
