The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It is smaller than other options and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last 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 its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It's very efficient 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 suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however, it's something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it 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 a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and also find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to remember, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum with mop vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that has an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop 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 to collect the majority of hair our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the necessity to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic cleaner and mop vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base and housing for two water tanks, a clean sink and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic vacuum cleaner emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle a child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

On the positive 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 apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
