ROBOTIC_VACUUM_CLEANER

My floors have not look and feel this good in years, I have stone floors with a wide grout,

WHAT. I run my other robot mop DAILY. Sometimes more than that in a day. I still have the water from it cleaning yesterday (image 1) I ran the eufy for the first time today and this is the water?! (Image 2) what has my mop been doing? It is just as expensive as a mop but uses the spinning mop pads. I did not expect the roller pressure and cleaning the roller as it goes to make this drastic of a difference. I will see how maintaining it is and will update when I know. OTHER MOP (my last one) Shreds its own mop pads when it cleans them in the base station Has ran over pet poop more times than I can count despite that was their #1 selling point at the time It uses the entire container of water with one clean I will update if there’s any similar complaints will this S1 pro! OCT 30 Well it’s been only a few days since we got it and my dog really has it out for this thing. Unfortunately if your lights are off. Its poop recognition isn’t great understandably. It was surprisingly a lot easier to clean after the disaster than I expected and have experienced with other robots. I think either the vacuum or the mop handled the majority. Yikes. But there wasn’t really any traces besides in the wheels which are unfortunately just as hard to clean as others. It is way better at avoiding hitting things than our previous ones, and some how way better at picking up debris with the vacuum than our previous one with lower suction. It’s went over crazy amounts of crumbs and had no problem. It is EXTREMELY nice that when clean water is poured in the part it pours its dirty water, that the pump turns on. Meaning I can clean out the lines with water very easily. The parts on this vacuum come apart to clean so well that I feel I can actually properly clean it. Not like there’s Internal parts that I can’t access that will build up dirt over time. The only thing you can’t access is the clean water tank which should never get dirty anyways I will continue to update as I learn more Nov 1 This thing is still picking up dirt off our floor. We have not reached clear water like we have with my old robot yet

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.

Absolutel game changer! Granted it’s only been in use a few days but it does an incredible job both vacuuming and washing the floor. Far more reliable than the Irobot models we have. The app is also very easy to use.

First, the negatives. While it can use multiple maps for a multi-story home, it's a bit clunky. You basically need to start it on the primary floor, pause it, carry it to the new floor, und unpause. It works, but will roam around looking for the base until the battery dies once it's done. Second, it doesn't get all the way up to the edge of the room. The only place I notice it is near the dishwasher, where some crumbs and things of that nature are missed. Very minor, but worth mentioning. Third, the vacuum is just okay. It works great on solid surfaces and average on carpeting. The thicker the carpet, the worse it will do. Fourth, it really struggles with height transitions. We have mostly hard-surface floors (LVP and hardwood) with some thicker shag rugs on carpet pads in the living rooms. To be fair, they are very thick. However, this robot cannot consistently climb them, so we have blocked them as no-go zones in the map and just vacuum by hand. All of these problems need to be addressed via software updates or engineering advancements in future generations. If you've read this far, you're probably wondering why I gave it 5 stars. In short- despite those flaws- this robot is legitimately kinda life-changing. As previously mentioned, we have a lot of hard flooring. We have kids and a dog. They bring dirt into the house no matter how hard we try to be careful...it just happens. Keeping the floors free of debris and looking clean required vacuuming every couple days and mopping at least once per week. The mopping, in particular, is awful. It's a literal pain in the back, stuff like a Swiffer mostly pushes the dirt around and gives it a clean looking appearance, but doesn't get it truly clean (in my opinion), and it really only looks good for a few days max before the sunlight shines across those floors and shows you how filthy/smudged they are again. This robot ended that headache for good. The roller mop design is unique to Eufy and will 100% become the industry standard in short order. It does a far better jobs than we ever did as humans and we come home to a perfectly clean floor. We setup a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and that works really well for us. The navigation, object avoidance, and app are absolutely fantastic. We had an older Roomba before that did okay, bit it got stuck every once in a while, scuffed our baseboards, and sucked up every shoelace or cord it could find. I'm sure newer models from that brand are light years beyond the one we had, but this Eufy just does a fantastic job in all those categies. The maintenance is easy, intuitive, and brilliantly designed. This is so important and so underrated. I cannot stress how well-designed and constructed this robot is from top to bottom. My biggest fear before purchasing it was the complexity and likelihood of maintence headaches, but it is really, really well-executed. I could go on, but suffice it to say I'm thrilled with this purchase, despite the shortfalls I detailed above. This robot isn't cheap and I can't truly speak to longevity because we've only owned it for 5-6 months, but it's been almost flawless in that time. If you have mostly carpets, there are probably better options out there. If you have hard flooring or a mix and you can really take advantage of the mopping, this robot is an absolute no-brainer.
