The best automatic vacuum cleaner Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that 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). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through an efficient.

It's fast and does a fantastic 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 suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into tight corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install and works well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This womponents which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that has a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best automatic vacuum and mop feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some lovely jingles to signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good robot vacuum option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base has several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed 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 designed its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
