The Best robot vacuums that Mop Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot automatic vacuum and mop combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts 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 its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.
It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as good. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like books and broken toys.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and also find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rug.
The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of smart features. However, it's important to remember that it carries regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. This includes a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also has 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 busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum cleaners reviews vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.
Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to collect many 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 lovely jingles that let you know that it was starting and finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.
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-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid 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 a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses and can cause 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 modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for the market that is dominated by boxy units.
