The Best 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, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to remove mopping from their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts 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 its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It's very 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 only one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and is effective however, it's something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase 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 comes with a wide array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable 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 locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This will ensure an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively rapid.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.
Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a 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 disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three month.
This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. It has the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.
Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to change between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which can be a pain if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinct features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start cleaning or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.
robot vacuum cleaners uk like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it is entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert on its application.
Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and 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 came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxes.
