The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want a robot vacuum reviews vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger debris like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this 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 that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range of features.

The device comes with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and robot vacuum and mop locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to shield certain areas of your house from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair from pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a pain if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot vacuums best that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock which doubles as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic vacuum cleaner and mop emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes 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 standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
