Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other options and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through an efficient.
It's extremely quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to automatic vacuum and mop carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. 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 front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.
Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is 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 mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum to mop you must pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and efficiently. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend 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 feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will affect how quickly the device can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's important to remember that it carries recurring costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, 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 mop pads must be changed every three month.
This robotic vacuum cleaner is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't need 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 was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. It was quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that indicated when it was about to start or finished its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot cleaner with mop vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most 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 two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot vacuum uk or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognizing objects.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. 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 one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue apart from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
