The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, 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 can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little 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 objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't make the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and performs well, but this is something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
robot vacuum cleaner amazon robotvacuummops 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 is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.
This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. It has an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated but they're a good thing because that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan that it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting pet hair. It was able to capture the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were nice jingles to let you know that it was starting and finishing its work.
Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it comes with some distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge 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 a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 can sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This is a rare event, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
