Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some 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 an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic 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 run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.
It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one motion. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects like books and broken toys.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaners best mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make as loud of a 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 use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and is effective however, this is something you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum 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 who want an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also rapid.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of smart features. It's important to remember that it carries regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.
This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum mop cleaner robot and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able to capture some of the hair shed by our cats, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some nice jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finished its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which can be a hassle when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot vacuum with mop that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuums best vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base comes with a few control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 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. While this was rare but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni 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 too bad however, mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
