The Next Big Thing In The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Industry
The best automatic vacuum and mop 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. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to select if you're looking for a robot autonomous vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in a best robotic mop and vacuum vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.
It's extremely quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as good. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well however it's something you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot mop vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.
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 can then use this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more randomized pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to note, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with 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 a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our testers discovered 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. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which help to shield certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some lovely jingles to signalled when it was beginning or finished its work.
The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't contain multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot vacuums that mop (see this page) that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press 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.
Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it is entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert on its app.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode 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 can lead to mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
