The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic 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 last longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through a clean.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful 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.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well however, this is something that you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuum best vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a flexible 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 reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

This robot hoover automatic vacuum cleaner mop has a high Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuums that mop vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to signal that it was starting and working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it has certain unique features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
