7 Tips About Best Robot Vacuum That Mops That Nobody Will Share With You

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 main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are ideal for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some models have superior navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for 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 part way through a clean.

It's quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, [Redirect Only] which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't produce more 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's simple to install and works well however, this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range 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 find furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more randomized pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to remember, however, that the device incurs recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three months.

This robotic cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan, which it uses to determine a route when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers that help to keep specific areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect a large amount of hair our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was beginning and finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple 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 review, but it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves 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 also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start cleaning or recall the robot Vacuums that Mop or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle like a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
