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

The best robot vacuum that mops (try what he says)

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot cleaner autonomous vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help pull out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as good. The mop rotates at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely to mop you must 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 option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. These include an energy 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 has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes 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 then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with little 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 has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best robot cleaner feature was its precise floorplan, which it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was starting and finishing its work.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum reviews vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its huge dock which serves as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or 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 sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
