The best automatic vacuum robot vacuum cleaners best Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options and makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's extremely quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and even droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't create the same amount of noise 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 exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and works well however, this is something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a expensive price, but comes with a large selection of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, 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 changed every one to three months.

The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves 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 and 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 looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that has microfiber pads. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able capture many of the hair our cats shed, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot mop is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot cleaner vacuum that can be found in our test, but it also has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning or recall the robot or run the dock's auto vacuum and mop-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive 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 and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for the market that is dominated by boxy models.
