The best automatic vacuum and mop robot vacuum that mops (Check Out Xaviermaso)

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under 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 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 on turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. 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 S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well, but this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and effectively. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. 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 has a expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has regular costs, such as 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 should be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power button that doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot vacuum reviews 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. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise map of your floorplan, which it uses to create a route when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It 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 nice jingles to let you know that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. It does however, have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another possible issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. 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 lead to 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 conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy models.
