He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're 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 uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.
It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and is effective, but it's something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot automatic vacuum cleaner and mop for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will affect the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can also disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rug.
This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's important to remember that it carries regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that has an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its Best robot vacuum cleaner UK feature was its precise map of your floorplan which it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you 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 at picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture many of the hair shed by our cats, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots had struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some pleasant jingles that let you know when it was beginning or finished its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the necessity to change between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot cleaner vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base comes with several control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you manually free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.
Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
