You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some 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 mop, this is the model to go for. It is smaller than other options which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best robot vacuum and mop navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for 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 quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't make the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much 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 sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes, you will need to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's important to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve 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.

This robotic cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. This includes the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that has microfiber pads. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to keep certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or finished its work.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have certain unique features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a 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 milliliter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot vacuum cleaners reviews or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about 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. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another possible issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive 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 major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
