The best robot vacuum that mops (Read A lot more)

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through an efficient.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective, but this is something that you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. These include a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping 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 needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes an elastomer pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean 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 as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to inform you that it was starting and getting its work done.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable 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 a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.

On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxes.
