The best robot vacuum cleaner and mop Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner [what is it worth] that can also mop. It's smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 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 can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's extremely quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one motion. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as good. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and performs well, but this is something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and 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 pads must be replaced every one to three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. This includes a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot hoover comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to shield certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect some of the hair that our cats shed, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to inform you that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot vacuum cleaner that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, however it has some unique features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. 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 the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market that is dominated by bulky boxes and clunky models.
