The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK robot vacuum and mop Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst at Good Housekeeping’s Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you’re looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner (nycpodcastnetwork.com said in a blog post) that can also mop. It’s smaller than other options, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I’ve seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 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 can even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It’s extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single sweep. The motor’s 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and automatic vacuum cleaner droppings easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop’s rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I’ve also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is useful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I’ve ever used. It doesn’t make as loud of a 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’s simple to set up and is effective however this is something that you’ll need 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 a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It’s crucial to remember that it carries recurring costs, such as mopping supplies and automatic vacuum cleaner maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. This includes the power button that serves as a general “Clean’ button and a ‘Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum with mop vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes a microfiber pad. It’s not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don’t need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to determine a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create ‘No-Go Zones’ or virtual barriers to stop 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 to capture a large amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot vacuum cleaner best were low, and there were some nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the need to swap between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni’s biggest draw is its huge dock which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base has a few control buttons, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle like a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a “stuck status” alert in its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn’t that 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 came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It’s a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it’s an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
