The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be ideal for those who want to eliminate mopping from their to-do lists. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to look for. It is smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or 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 avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through cleaning.
It's extremely quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt, pet hair, and even droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't create the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum to mop you must be aware of this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.
The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.
Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to protect your carpets from damage. carpets.
This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.
This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. vacuum bot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to keep specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some nice jingles that indicated when it was about to start or finishing its work.
The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't contain multiple maps, which can be a hassle when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.
Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognising objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert on its app.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can lead to 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 major departure from the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
