Everything You Need To Learn About Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. They feature 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
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and 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 I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through an efficient.
It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. automatic vacuum cleaner cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and droppings with ease. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's easy to install and works well, but this is something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and effectively. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.
Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.
The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to note that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example 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 needs to be replaced every one to three months.
The robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.
Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able to collect a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that inform you that it was beginning and getting its work done.
The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to change out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't hold multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it has some distinctive features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock which serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.
The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its application.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the bright side it's worth noting that 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 apparatus. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy models.
