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 equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other options, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. robot vacuum cleaner amazon has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well however this is something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a range of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home, find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.
The device has a expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of innovative features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has recurring expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at 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 carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some nice jingles to let you know that it was in the process of getting its work done.
The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock that doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off a child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are 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 could occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.
Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.
On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxes.
