Multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 mins when cleaning 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 fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaner reviews mops and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and is effective however this is something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot 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 is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible, and customizable 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 house and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and effectively. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price, but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to remember that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with many physical automation features. It has the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. 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 tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping unit that has a microfiber pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don't have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to draw a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that inform you that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps, which can be a pain if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some distinctive features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
