The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It's quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install and works well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping you must pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for an extremely efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.
Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush to protect your carpets from damage. carpets.
The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of advanced features. It is important to remember, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.
The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon 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 that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which includes microfiber pads. robotic hoovers for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.
Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your house from being swept with mop.
We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able to collect some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or finished its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't contain multiple maps, which could be a pain when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it also has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid 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 become so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.
Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
