This History Behind Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Is One That Will Haunt You Forever

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into tight corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to set up, and it works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum to mop you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. This includes the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home 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 comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to keep specific areas of your home from being swept with mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair that shed by our cats, and even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finished its work.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't keep multiple maps. robot vacuum hoover can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it comes with some unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock that serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.


This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets caught in a blockage like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.

Another possible issue 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 but the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a big change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
