eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S1 Pro with All-in-One Station, HydroJet Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, Eco-Clean Ozone, 8000 Pa Suction, Obstacle Avoidance, Auto Mop Washing & Drying, Self-Emptying

I evaluated 3 different robots in my house, the first was Dreame X40 Ultra, the second is this one, and the third was Ecovacs X5 Pro Omni. The first thing I evaluated was navigation - the base station location in my house is kind of cornered by a large dining room table with 12 chairs around it. Navigating out of this area (or underneath it when it's time to clean that area under the table) is a pretty critical skill for my house. This is where the Dreame X40 Ultra started to piss me off. It was constantly getting confused by the table and chair legs, pausing for long periods of time and trying to determine what to do. It would often "give up" on the task and just return to base telling me mission accomplished, when it hadn't even begun to clean! In addition, cleaning the whole was very inefficient, and would take f o r e v e r. As a contrast, the Eufy S1 Pro is very efficient. It's obstacle avoidance for stationary objects is amazing. It navigates its way around, and next to almost everything, and just finds ways to continue the cleaning path without getting confused. Its cleaning path itself is very clear, and is executed fast and without any hesitations. The roller mop provides excellent coverage compared to the other 2 robots' duo rotating mops, which often leaves uncovered areas. Its edge cleaning is sufficient, though not perfect, and has improved vastly once I set the obstacle avoidance level in the app to its least sensitive setting. Its mopping is great, and feels very similar to my upright Eufy v1 Mach Ultra which is a very good mopper. The existence of an onboard dirty water tank on the robot and the fact the brush continuously self-cleans itself, is a standout feature compared to almost all other robots, and it allows the robot to return to base much less often, thus further improving the efficiency. It also means it deals with wet stains better, although if you expect it to be able to absorb meaningful amounts of spilled fluids, it's not going to happen. The reason is that unlike the upright mop, the robot separates between the dirty water tank (which is basically the dirty water continuously being extracted from the roller using a squeegee), and the vacuum, which has its own dust bin, and that one needs to stay dry. So no suction of fluids, but still better at mopping wet stains than any of the other robots out there. The vacuuming is also good, although I wouldn't say this is its stand out feature - there are probably better vacuuming robots out there, so if vacuuming is what you mostly care about - I would give other robots a second look. I don't use it with my room carpets, only an area rug in the living room, which it can handle easily. Apart from that, the only real problem I faced with this robot is that there is a specific bathroom mat we use which for some robot this robot tried to vacuum and ends up sucking it to its vacuum port, getting the robot stuck and in need of manual assistance to get untangled. I worked around it by placing a small bathroom stool to block the robot from going over this mat. I could have also placed a virtual barrier in the app that it won't cross.Final word - I had the X5 Pro Omni in my house last week and I had some high hopes, but I returned it right after the fist cleaning. Main reason: the robot got completely tangled in the fringes of my area rug to a point I had to manual untangle it multiple times. Unlike the bathroom mat, I can't really avoid this rug if I want it properly vacuumed, so it seems like a non starter for me.In summary, after having seen all 3 robots in action, I think the Eufy S1 Pro stands out big time on most features, including its mopping, cleaning efficiency, obstacle avoidance, and navigation. Its base station is also great, as it self cleans, empties dirty water, washing mops, and refill clean water - all fully automated. Its noise level is probably not its best trait, although completely manageable IMO, as it's only loud for brief periods of time when the base self-cleans (about 2-3 minutes at the end). Vacuuming at max level will probably also be quite loud, but I use the lower, standard suction setting.

I have been avoiding robot vacuum cleaner for years, since first time used roomba. The small dust bin, stuck all the time, messy cleanup of the robot itself, end up causing me more work. However, it seems time has changed. I finally dropped $1k for this latest eufy vacuum robot at Thanksgiving sale.The result, is nothing short of a pleasant surprise. This robot cleaner is smart enough, robust enough, that did everything well with very little maintenance. First, it will map the whole house upon first time use, and use that map as directions for operations later on. Second, it's route planning and obstacle avoidance is very good, circling around all kinds of objects from shoes to table legs, and clean the whole room in a smooth patten (you can see the cleaned route in the app). Third, everything is automatic, auto empty dust bin, auto fill in water, auto dump dirty water, auto cleaning and drying mop roll, you literally didn't have to interfere except occasionally fill in the water tank, and empty dirty water tank, both are made very easy. Lastly, the design is very nice, elegant yet functional. All the moving parts are very well made, rubber sealed, easy to take apart and easy clean. The parts are not cheaply made plastic, they are actually "dyson level" quality.Overall, this little robot has exceeded my expectations in every way, I can't live without it now, previously I was doing cleaning with several dyson handheld vacuum, now I feel I don't have to anymore. Highly recommended if you want give robot vacuum a try.

UpdateAfter 6 weeks of use we're still loving this little Robovac. As a matter of fact I'm removing my criticism of its edge cleaning performance. It has gotten much better with edge and corner cleaning for vacuuming. I assume it learns and refines its mapping every time it cleans. That, along with the square design, it's now picking up crumbs right at the edges and in the corners. Eufy just needs to figure out how to extend the mop to edge and it would be perfect. Not once has it gotten stuck, lost or had a problem docking to the base. Considering how well it cleans it's very frugal with water usage, we don't have to refill the clean water tank as often as we thought we would and the cleaning solution bottle still feels full.I did the first cleaning of the robot and it wasn't too bad. The dirty water tank on the robot does hold some sediment on the bottom and was the hardest thing to clean. I cleaned it by using some Dawn Powerwash spray and the kitchen sink sprayer to get it out. The opening is too small for a brush and there are some little hoses in there that I didn't want to chance messing up. The dust bin filter just needed blowing off and it was good to go. Also, the self emptying works really well since there was no debris in the dust bin. The roller mop looked like the day it came out the box, it should last a long time. The vacuum roller brush had no hair stuck to it. The base had some sediment in the sump/screen where the dirty water dumps from the Robot and some debris. However it's extremely easy to clean.Even though the robot's dirty water tank is a little difficult to clean due to the sediment at the bottom, it also is a sign of how well the self cleaning roller mop design works. The dirt goes into the tank instead of being held in the mop and smeared back on the floor by traditional mop pads of the other robots.Having mostly hard floors with a few rugs, this little robot has been a huge help with upkeep by doing all the floor cleaning. We thought we would have to mop and vacuum at least once a month even with the robot but NOPE. When we ran the regular vacuum it didn't pick up anything out the rugs or off the floor and the mop water was clean. The only places we have to clean are areas where the robot can't reach.IMO the self cleaning roller mop is going to be the future. This is Eufy's first shot at this design and I'm sure they will have some improvements like extending the mop to the side for improved edge cleaning. I also suggest a mop only function and a way to detect how dirty the water coming off the mop is so it can automatically go to deep clean mode if necessary.Great floor cleaner and exceeds expectations. Easy to setup and easy to use. Does an exceptional job mopping the floors. It does a good job vacuuming the carpet but it specializes in hard floor cleaning. Mapping is quick and accurate. Obstacle avoidance is top notch even in complete darkness. The only thing that needs improvement is it needs to get closer to the corners and walls for edge cleaning.Looked at the competition that’s far more expensive and they have no advantages over the Eufy S1 Pro to justify their price.
