The Best 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. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot cleaner vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't make the same volume of sound 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 needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and is effective, but this is something that you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose 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 an ideal option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum cleaners best has 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. 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 tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot hoover feature was its precise floorplan that it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which help to keep specific areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that let you know when it was starting or completing its task.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't contain multiple maps, which could be a pain if you have a home with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it also has unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect 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 precise at recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets entangled in a hazard like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a huge contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
