Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models, making it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through cleaning.
It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt as well as pet hair and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest
robot vacuum cleaners best vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's easy to install and performs well, but it's something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also rapid.
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 difficult to reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will determine how fast the device will move through your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.
The device comes with a high price tag but comes with a large selection of advanced features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which includes microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your house from being cleaned with a mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to signal that it was beginning and working towards its goal.
The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to switch out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has unique features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock which serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in finding objects.
Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.
Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking
best robot vacuum, 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 significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxes.
