The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuums that Mop vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.
It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one pass. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop rotates at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and works well however, this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and also identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. rugs.
The device has a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of innovative features. However, it's important to note that it incurs 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 should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.
The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes a microfiber pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot cleaner feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to protect certain areas of your house from being cleaned with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting pet hair. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was about to start or finished its work.
The biggest flaws were its simple app and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot hoover is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.
The base comes with several control buttons, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 will sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert on its app.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.
On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a huge contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
