The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Robot 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 equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an best automatic vacuum and mop vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum mop cleaner robot. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuum cleaners best vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't create 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 must use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a 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 to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but has many smart features. It is important to remember that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. 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 is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. The robot hoover and mop vacuum also comes with a power button which 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 trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your house from being cleaned with mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was starting and finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it has some distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock which is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't an issue apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses, which can 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 conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
