The best robot cleaner Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will 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 vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and droppings with ease. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as good. 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 arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot mop vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. 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 however, this is something you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mop vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and ad-hoc 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 also detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
Another notable feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's important to note that it incurs recurring costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.
This robotic vacuum cleaner is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. These include an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task.

The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to create a route 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 to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and even had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was starting or finishing its work.
The app was too simple and robot Vacuum cleaner Reviews you had to alter the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it also has unique features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 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 auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.
This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it is entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its app.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or 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 came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxes.
