The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
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 focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.
It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
robot vacuum hoover mopping performance is less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of 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 doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. cheap robot vacuum is a powerful cleaner with a variety of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house, find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will ensure an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.
Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device comes with a expensive price, but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It's crucial to note that it incurs recurring expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.
This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan which it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few nice jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.
The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, however it also has distinctive features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock, which serves as the robot's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.
The base has a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.
Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.
Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or 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 came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy units.
