The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). automated vacuum cleaner will even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.
It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins 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 arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys or books.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and works well however it's something you'll need to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This results in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surfaces. automated vacuum cleaner include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
Another notable 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 determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to protect your carpets from damage. carpets.
This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to remember, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.
This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its accurate 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 to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some nice jingles that indicated when it was starting or finishing its work.
The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the necessity to change out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its app.
Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue apart from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
