You ll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops s Tricks
The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some 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 also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of my favorite navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic automatic vacuum cleaner. It comes with a massive 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 the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.
It's extremely quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. 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 also be used to collect larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. 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 only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, this is something that you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums that mop vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surface areas. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
Another notable feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction and select between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rug.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads must be changed every three months.
This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal 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 which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes an elastomer pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan map that it uses to create a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair that our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that let you know when it was starting or completing its task.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops (to Writeablog) in our review, however it comes with some unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous 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 start cleaning tasks or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the automatic vacuum and mop robot.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to detect 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 will occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.
Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use 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, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
