The best robot vacuum and mop robot vacuum reviews 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 equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuums that mop vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is 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 during the cleaning.
It's quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't make the same volume of 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 has to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is simple to install and performs well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must be aware of this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. It is important to note that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries 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, the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot vacuum Cleaners best is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to draw a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that let you know that it was in the process of finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base has a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes 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 could sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.
Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get washed 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 dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
