The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best robot cleaner navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.
It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet Best robot vacuum cleaner UK vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum 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 is a powerful machine for Robots That Vacuum And Mop cleaning with a variety of features.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and also find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It is important to note that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to keep specific areas of your home from being swept with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting pet hair. It was able to capture a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or completing its task.
The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use 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 kids messing around with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles 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.
This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its app.
Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This can lead to 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 sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
