The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.
It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to set up, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping you must pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.
The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house, find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. rugs.
This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it has a variety of innovative features. It's important to keep in mind that it has regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. It has an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. Highly recommended Site has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated, but they do mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to protect specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was about to start or completing its task.
The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent 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 also has unique features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock, which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.
The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working 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 doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.
Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the positive side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy models.
