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 focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
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 other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. robotic hoovers comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. 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 when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through an efficient.
It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The mop rotates at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes, you will need to pay attention to this.
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 variety of features.
The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This will ensure an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.
Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will affect how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.
This device has a fairly high price tag but has a variety of smart features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.
The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. updated blog post has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan, which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and getting its work done.
The biggest flaws were its simple app and the need to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it has some unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous 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 the 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base also has a number of control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of 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 can sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
