You'll Be Unable To Guess Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for 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 recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help draw away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't make the same volume of 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 specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and works well however, this is something that you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best robotic mop and vacuum feature was its accurate floorplan map that it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which help to shield certain areas of your house from being swept with mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that signalled when it was beginning or finished its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which could be a pain for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it comes with some distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive 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 as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start a cleaning robot mop and vacuum task or recall the robot hoover, or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid 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 precise at recognizing objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni can sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This can lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
