The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They are equipped with 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

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's easy to install and works well however, this is something you'll have to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction and select between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature was its precise map of your floorplan, which it uses to determine a route when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few nice jingles that let you know when it was beginning or finished its work.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the need to swap out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot hoover and mop is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot vacuums with mop 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 who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of 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 accurate at recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause 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 came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
