You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Benefits

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, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner and mop 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 the best robot vacuum that mops navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop rotates at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuums that mop mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the 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 an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's important to remember that it carries periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. It has an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to create a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that indicated when it was about to start or finished its work.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has 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 item in our review. However, it does have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid 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 could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, Best Robot Vacuum That Mops which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
