You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through an efficient.

It is very quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This results in an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surface areas. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It is important to note that the device incurs recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power 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 multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

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

The Matrix Plus robot vacuums best vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot hoover and mop is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to keep certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot mop were low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was beginning and getting its work done.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that doubles 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 milliliter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock which is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 caught in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or mold.

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