Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through an efficient.
It's very 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 living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris like broken toys and books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet
robot vacuums that mop vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop you must be aware of this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surfaces. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more randomized pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and carpets.
This device is expensive but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry 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 good option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house 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 dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other
robots that vacuum and mop have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which can be a problem if you have a home with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
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 make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock which doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.
The base has a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.
Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert on its app.
Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use and can cause mildew or 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 came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
