The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the
best automatic vacuum and mop navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a
robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It is very fast and does an excellent 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 sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and works well however this is something that you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it will make, which will affect the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
This device is expensive however it has many useful features. However, it's important to remember that it carries periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot
vacuum mop cleaner robot also comes with a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot
auto vacuum and mop and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned 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 with water.
Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or completing its task.
The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a hassle for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent
robot vacuum uk that can do both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive
robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as an 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 and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets caught in an obstacle, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses.
