The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping. He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for 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 and makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot 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 the dock to top up its battery halfway through a clean. It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners. The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away 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 on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged. The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping. The Roborock Q Revo The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine. The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home, identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly quick. The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. robot vacuums best have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent build-up and reduce the odors. App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will affect how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs. This device has a fairly expensive price, but has a variety of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, 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 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month. This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which 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 option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with little effort. The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water. Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to determine a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting “No-Go zones” and virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with mop. We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or finished its work. The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot 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 test, but it has some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates. The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum. Similar to 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 accurate in recognising objects. This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not have an “stuck” status alert on 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 a big deal 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 created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
