The
Best Robot Vacuum That MopsNoah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who want to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an
automatic vacuum cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the
best robot hoover navigation and object avoidance features 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 are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.
It's extremely fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 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 getting into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. 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 drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and performs well however this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will move through your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.
This
robotic hoovers vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The
robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot 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. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated however, they mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan, which it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were lovely jingles that inform you that it was starting and finishing its work.
The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the necessity to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it also has distinct features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.
Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses, which can lead to 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 dreamed up its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
