The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mops then this is the model you should go for. It is smaller than other options, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best robotic mop and vacuum navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 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 narrow corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't create as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and performs well however, this is something that you'll have to be aware of 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 equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction and select between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it will make, which will affect the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. It is important to remember that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. 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 the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able capture some of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were lovely jingles that let you know that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle for homes with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

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 make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink and an automatic vacuum and mop robot 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot hoover or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.

On the positive 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 and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
