The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuums that mop vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in 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 can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It is very efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and poop easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into difficult corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot hoover mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. 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, this is something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. It's important to note that it incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum uk vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot vacuum and mop is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that has an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have 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 as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair from pets. It was able capture the majority of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was about to start or finished its work.
The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a clean sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.
The base comes with several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid 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 can occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.
Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the bright side it's worth noting that 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. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy models.
