Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that mops vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very quick 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 motion. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris like broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however it's something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuum cleaners reviews vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It is important to keep in mind that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot mop vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan which it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to keep specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able to capture some of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to swap out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which can be a hassle if you have a home that has a variety of 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 is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it has some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer clear of 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 finding objects.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it is entangled in a blockage like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.

On the bright 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
