The Next Big Trend In The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Industry

The Best 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, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot 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 has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one motion. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into difficult corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and performs well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must be aware of 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 choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce odors.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter 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 determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. carpets.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's important to remember that it carries regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. This includes a power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which has a microfiber pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to determine a route when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some nice jingles that let you know when it was about to start or finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning robot mop and vacuum job, recall the robot mop, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

On the positive 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 sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
