The best robot vacuum and mop robot vacuums that mop vacuum That mops (trade-britanica.trade)

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are ideal for those who want to remove mopping from their list of things to do. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very fast and does an excellent 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 sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't make as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and is effective however, this is something you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and also identify furniture and other obstacles. It thee without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little 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 is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that has an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with 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 easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect a large amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a pain when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock that doubles as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning job or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic hoovers vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another possible issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses, which can 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
