The Best 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 robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who want to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
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 models on this list, making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features 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 comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when 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 halfway through a clean.
It is very fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into tight corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.
robot vacuum cleaners best is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well however this is something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house and find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.
Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-andforth or more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It is important to remember, however, that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.
This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which includes a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or finished its work.
The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have certain unique features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base comes with a few control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down good robot vacuum of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of 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 sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert in its application.
Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and 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. It's a significant change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
