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 mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. best robot hoover wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models, making it more maneuverable in tight spaces or 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 object avoidance I've ever 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 will even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through an efficient.
It is very quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates at a high rate and 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 helpful in narrow corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device has a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and effectively. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
This device is expensive but has many smart features. It's important to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. This includes a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and drys 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 tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily 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 vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our testers 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' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able capture many of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was beginning or completing its task.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it has some unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base has a few control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay 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 occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its application.
Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.
On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in the market that is dominated by boxy models.
