The best rated robot vacuum Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities 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 robotic cleaner and mop vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other options which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's very efficient and does a great 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. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as good. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't create the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to install and performs well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely 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 comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter 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 must make, which will affect how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. These include a power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning session. It also comes with 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

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option 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 long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that includes microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop 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 capture some of the hair shed by our cats, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was about to start or completing its task.

Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the need to switch out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuums That mop vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. It does however, have distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning job or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock which is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognizing objects.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets caught in a hazard like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. This is a rare event, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is another 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, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.

On the bright side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and 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 that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
