The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to remove mopping from their list of things to do. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the 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 boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot hoover vacuums and mop I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However should you purchase this robot hoover vacuum solely for mopping purposes, you will need to 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 efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a vg battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair from pets. It was able to collect many of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that let you know that it was starting and finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't contain multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 can occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another potential downside is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that mopping pads don'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 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 an industry dominated by boxy models.
