The best robot hoover 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 appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 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 the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.
It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris like books and broken toys.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. 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 needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well, but this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This leads to a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction and select between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of innovative features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.
This robot vacuum uk vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and getting its work done.
The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which could be a hassle if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum uk vacuum that can be found in our review, but it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.
The X1 can be prone to get 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. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its application.
The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by bulky, boxy units.
