The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for robot vacuums that mop those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

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 the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa 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.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop rotates at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make 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 easy to install and is effective, but it's something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum mop cleaner robot solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot Vacuums that mop vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range of features.

The device comes with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently anhome without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to shield certain areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots that vacuum and mop struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that let you know that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the need to swap between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't hold multiple maps, which can be a problem if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot mop or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles 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.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between use. This could 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 and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
