The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It is very fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. 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 along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger 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 tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a variety of features.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction and select between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also select 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 rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to remember, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot Vacuums that mop (101.42.90.121) vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot cleaner has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which could be a pain if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot cleaner with mop 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 cleaner and mop vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it also has distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive 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 dust bin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to spot 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 will 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. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This can lead to 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 apparatus. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
