The best automatic vacuum and mop Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping’s Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you’re looking for a robot autonomous vacuum that also mops then this is the model to look for. It’s smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I’ve seen in the form of a robotic hoovers vacuum. It’s powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.
It’s extremely fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one motion. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as good. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I’ve also noticed that the front arms stick 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 sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I’ve tried. It doesn’t make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It’s easy to install and is effective however this is something that you’ll need to be aware of in case you’re purchasing this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and efficiently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will affect how quickly the device can move through your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of smart features. It is important to remember that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.
This robot vacuum that mops is best rated robot vacuum highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. This includes a power button that doubles as a general ‘Clean’ button and a ‘Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you’re a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with 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 vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don’t have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to create 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 to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can’t save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni’s main draw is its massive dock which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock which is a great 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 that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.
This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets entangled in a hazard like a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an “stuck status” alert in its app.
Another possible issue is the X1 Omni’s inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You’ll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn’t a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven’t been cleaned and dried between uses and can cause 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 significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
