The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an automatic hoover vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot mop vacuums. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through a clean.
It's quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove 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 along baseboards. The front arms can also be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and is effective however, this is something you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a range of features.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
This device has a fairly high price tag but comes with a large selection of smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries regular expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.
Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through 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 capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some nice jingles to let you know that it was starting and working towards its goal.
The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of 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 will occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its application.
Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get 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 conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy models.
