Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum reviews vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.
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, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through cleaning.
It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings easily. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and performs well, but this is something that you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it 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 a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and also find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also come with 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 eliminate odors and stop buildup.
Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.
This device has a fairly high price tag but comes with a large selection of advanced features. It's important to remember that it carries regular costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. 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 is equipped with microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to shield specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to inform you that it was starting and getting its work done.
Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot vacuum uk that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it has some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its huge dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognising objects.
Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the positive side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuums that mop (what do you think) 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. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for the market that is dominated by boxy models.
