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 equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. Some of them have excellent navigation and automatic vacuum cleaner obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through an efficient.
It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaners best mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. 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's simple to install and is effective however this is something you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.
The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite quick.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It is important to remember, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.
The robot vacuums with mop vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, automatic vacuum cleaner intelligent navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up pet hair. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that indicated when it was starting or completing its task.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a pain if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it has some distinctive features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic hoovers vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot 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.
This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its application.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.
On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuum cleaner uk, 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. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
