Who is it suitable for:
Shoppers looking to squeeze the longest menu of features out of a sub-$1,000 budget should look to Eufy’s latest flagship model. Featuring small obstacle avoidance and a fully self-sufficient mopping system, the X10 Pro Omni is more autonomous than the similarly priced Roomba Combo j7+ or Roborock Q8 Max+. The X10 Pro Omni has amazing battery life even when using its highest suction mode, making it ideal for handling large square feet or multiple stories without recharging.
If your home is anything like senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart’s — with cluttered under-bed storage, cluttered extension cords, and lots of robot vacuums that are difficult to run when you’re not home — you’ll want to prioritize a small, AI-powered refuge. barrier, just like Eufy did for the X10 Pro Omni.
Why we chose this:
Eufy’s contribution at CES 2024 should be more expensive than it is now. Not to be confused with the (less impressive, more expensive) Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni is the brand’s first self-draining hybrid model that also automatically fills its water tank and automatically washes and dries mop pads, all on its own. In the same self-empty dock. This completely self-sufficient mopping system is a feature we’ve seen before, but we’ve never really seen one for under $1,000 before.
While its dual spin mop pads are excellent scrubbers, the Eufy’s carpet cleaning capabilities deserve the same attention. In theory, 8,000 Pa of suction is terrifying At any price point. During home testing, it successfully removed soil from thick mounds of rice and flat-woven carpets that had been intentionally spilled on a medium-sized pile chute. It just doesn’t do a great job at deep cleaning flour spills, but powdery spills shouldn’t be a common occurrence.
Stodart discovered a quirk that prevents the Eufy’s impressive suction from reaching its full potential during cleaning. Its obstacle avoidance camera worked so hard to avoid getting stuck that it mistook a fluffy little bath mat for clothing and abandoned an area of the bathroom, leaving the scattered cat litter untouched. Unfortunately, Eufy’s app doesn’t allow you to consider perceived obstacles as “incorrect,” requiring the bathroom mat to be moved.
