The best robot vacuum that mops Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are ideal for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mops then this is the model you should go for. It is smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and works well however this is something you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops 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 combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This results in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has periodic expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, 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 robotic cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. It has a power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop (have a peek here), which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with an elastomer pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and getting its work done.
The app was too easy and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't contain multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it also has unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock that serves as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.
The base has a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its application.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.
On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuums uk thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
