Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It is smaller than other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.
It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install and works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum for mopping purposes, you will need to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will affect the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. carpets.
It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It is important to remember, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every three months.

The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two modules which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to collect some of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some lovely jingles to signalled when it was beginning or finishing its work.
Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps, which could be a hassle for homes with multiple floors.

The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it has certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot or use the dock's auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum mop cleaner robot.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 become so entangled with an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This was a rare occurrence, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.
On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuum that vacuums and mops thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
