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. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.
It is very quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots that vacuum and mop, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is simple to install, and it works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.
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 an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house and also find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rug.
The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.
Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair from pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was starting or completing its task.
Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot vacuum cleaner uk, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base comes with several control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic vacuum and mop robot emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
