7 Secrets About Best Robot Vacuum That Mops That Nobody Can Tell You

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's very fast and does a fantastic 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 only one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help pull out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well however, this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and effectively. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the 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 adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuums with mop vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. This includes a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect many of the hair our cats shed, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to inform you that it was beginning and finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent 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 vacuum mop cleaner robot that is able to mop in our test, but it has some distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning job, recall the robot vacuum with mop, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that 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 and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
