Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.
It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and even droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've also 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 scoop up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum with mop vacuums and mop I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and is effective however it's something you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and also identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, automatic hoover which will determine the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It is important to note, however, that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.
This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process.

The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot vacuum cleaner reviews has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap 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 have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as 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 also offers the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to shield specific areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to collect a large amount 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 nice jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the necessity to switch out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it has some distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks or recall the robot, or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it gets entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.
Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
