The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other options which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if 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 part way through a clean.
It's fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and is effective however this is something that you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
Another feature worth mentioning is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and carpets.
The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to note that it incurs regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. These include an energy button that serves as a general "Clean' button and 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 trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that is equipped with microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able capture the majority of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was about to start or completing its task.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a pain when you live in a house with a mix 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 robot vacuum that can be found in our review, but it has some distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 occasionally get caught up in 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 however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxes and clunky models.
