Eufy S1 Pro Robotic Vacuum

Well, if you want a five plus stars cleaning robot, lets talk the eufy S1 Pro Omni Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum & Mop platform. This is a marvel of engineering, with self-cleaning paint roller like floor cleaning component that cuts a swath of floor almost a foot wide after every cleaning pass. First lets talk about setup, the unit is sizeable and was not easy to pull out of the box. The robot is packaged in its own separate box, with base station and associated tanks packaged as a nearly assembled unit. I pulled the top the protective plastic bag to coax the base station assembly out of the box. Of course, the unit setup and operation require use of a mobile app, I used the iOS variety. The app has a pleasant and rich interface and guides you through the setup once ... MoreWell, if you want a five plus stars cleaning robot, lets talk the eufy S1 Pro Omni Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum & Mop platform. This is a marvel of engineering, with self-cleaning paint roller like floor cleaning component that cuts a swath of floor almost a foot wide after every cleaning pass. First lets talk about setup, the unit is sizeable and was not easy to pull out of the box. The robot is packaged in its own separate box, with base station and associated tanks packaged as a nearly assembled unit. I pulled the top the protective plastic bag to coax the base station assembly out of the box. Of course, the unit setup and operation require use of a mobile app, I used the iOS variety. The app has a pleasant and rich interface and guides you through the setup once assembled. Assembly consisted of filling the clean water reservoir, taking a few spacers out of the robot, plugging in the base station, installing the eufy cleaning solution in the base station and docking the robot. After connecting to my Wi-Fi the setup was pretty seamless and as usual evolving functionality requires new software, thus a firmware update was applied.So let me tell you about my initial use case, we recently moved to a new house and are selling the existing home which had mostly laminate floors. We repainted the home and cleaned up fairly well, however some of the spackle dust was embedded on the floor. The eufy S1 Pro was up to the task, although in fairness I took advantage of the max suction, deep and times two cleaning features. Normal maintenance would require less aggressive settings and presumably save time and consumables. After mapping my room (rather quick I thought, as most robots have to traverse the entire floor) I set upon a cleaning. Reviewing the map the robot generated evidently utilized its camera and LIDAR to “see” into sections it did not travel to, frankly amazing. Even more mind blowing was after mapping and closing the door to a room it mapped, it marked the whole room in red on the map to indicate it was not able to access the room.I let the robot do its thing and left some of the lights on in the house so it could run, not realizing this robot can essentially see in the dark by using the LIDAR. So, you do not have to keep the area lit to ensure the robot sees everything. The robot went through several maintenance dockings to the base station to recharge battery, empty dirty water, get more cleaning fluid and after the second phase of the run, perform a clean and dry the roller cycle while docked to the base station. An automated cleaning and drying cycle for the cleaning roller is huge, as other pad-based robot moppers (which really only spread the dirt around) turn into a mold smellothon. In any case the robot covered over 1840 square feet which essentially how much laminate flooring I have (920sq feet) times the two cleaning cycles it performed (earlier I mentioned I had the robot to clean two times in this first cycle). While I left the house, I occasionally checked one of my security camera to watch the progress of the robot. The next day I was amazed on the excellent results, the floor was spotless (and don’t tell my wife) looked better than any time I remember. I then went a refilled the clean water reservoir and emptied the dirty water tank, which looked like grey milk with some dirt/sand particles. I rinsed it out thoroughly and put it back into the base station.Overall, the eufy S1 Pro Omni Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum & Mop platform is one of the best mopping robots I have used. Some caveats to this review, I really did not use the vacuum function or had a lot of obstacles to challenge it guidance system. Nor did I assess how quickly the robot uses consumables. eufy includes one tank of cleaning solution, a spare cleaning roller, another pair of brushes and a cleaning tool.>>> Pros: >> first rate cleaning capabilities >> amazing example of cleaning platform engineering >> mobile app is first rate >> top display panel and overall aesthetics of the device, looks like it could be used as a miniature model for a sci-fi series. <<< Cons: << large << not inexpensive << complicated piece of engineering which asks the question, how reliable will it be long term ?

The Eufy S1 Pro Omni is, in my opinion, the best robot vacuum on the market. I can speak from experience, as I have had the privilege of owning five different robot vacuums over the course of several years. It really checks all of the boxes. From vacuuming to mopping, this robot vacuum is phenomenal!The vacuum looks and feels premium. The color scheme (gray/black) and design was very well planned and executed. The vacuum and the tower are not an eyesore like some of the other models from other brands I have seen. I really like the light inside the water tank as well. When the vacuum or tower is being used, a white light ring illuminates the clean water tank. If you take the water tank out the light turns red. It just looks great!The vacuum does double duty, by ... MoreThe Eufy S1 Pro Omni is, in my opinion, the best robot vacuum on the market. I can speak from experience, as I have had the privilege of owning five different robot vacuums over the course of several years. It really checks all of the boxes. From vacuuming to mopping, this robot vacuum is phenomenal!The vacuum looks and feels premium. The color scheme (gray/black) and design was very well planned and executed. The vacuum and the tower are not an eyesore like some of the other models from other brands I have seen. I really like the light inside the water tank as well. When the vacuum or tower is being used, a white light ring illuminates the clean water tank. If you take the water tank out the light turns red. It just looks great!The vacuum does double duty, by being able to both vacuum and mop. It can do a stand alone vacuum mode or it can vacuum and mop at the same time. As a vacuum, this device is outstanding. It maps out the rooms of your house on the first go around, and after that, it is diligent in ensuring that all accessible areas get cleaned! I have three kids and inevitably, there will be objects on the floor. This vacuum avoids objects, even small ones, with precision and ease! I absolutely hate walking on dirty hard floors. The feeling of grit on the bottom of my feet annoys me! With this vacuum, I have been impressed that my floors have no dirt on them! The vacuum even makes a conscious effort to get into the corners with the sweeping brushes on either side of the vacuum.The mop is, in my opinion, the most innovative and amazing feature of this robot. The mop is a roller on the bottom of the vacuum that applies pressure to the roller on the floor to ensure a more detailed clean. When the vacuum approaches rugs or carpet, the mop roller retracts back into the robot! This works so great! I observed an entire mopping cycle and not once did it get my carpet wet! I have full faith that if I left my house and allowed this robot to do the vacuum/mop cycle, it would do it without any issue! If, during the cleaning cycle, the vacuum needs to empty the dustbin or the mop needs more water, the vacuum returns to the base station, empties the dust bin/refills the water, and returns to start cleaning right where it left off. I also like that, from my smartphone app, I can set up a cleaning schedule! Currently, I have my robot vacuum set to begin cleaning every night at 9:00pm. At this time, all the lights are usually out in the house. That makes NO difference to this vacuum. It cleans my house in the dark! I wake up the next morning with nice vacuum lines on my carpet and clean hard floors!The tower/charging station for this robot is impressive as well! It has touch controls on top, however, I preferred to use the Eufy Clean app that I downloaded to my smartphone. Not only does it hold clean water in a tank, but also it holds a cartridge full of cleaning solution. The water and cleaning solution are automatically added to the vacuum without the user having to do it! The clean water tank also has an “ozone” feature that, according to Eufy, kills 99.99% of germs inside the tap water that is put into the clean water tank. On the back top of the tower, there is a dirty water tank! The vacuum itself washes the mop roller continuously while cleaning and stores the dirty water in a tank on the robot vacuum. When the vacuum returns to the dock, the dirty water is emptied into the tank on the back top of the tower! As if it couldn’t get any better, it does! The tower actually washes the mop roller and dries it (with heat) as well! The dry cycle for the mop roller takes a while, but this is to ensure no nasty odors or microbial growth occurs on the roller. After a drying cycle, I felt the mop roller and it was completely dry! The tower also empties the dirt bin from the robot vacuum into a vacuum back stored inside the tower underneath the clean water tank. It is so nice for the vacuum and tower to essentially make normal cleaning tasks hands free!If you couldn’t tell by my review, I definitely recommend this robot vacuum to anyone! It is impressive and the technology packed inside this vacuum and it’s charging tower is amazing! If you decide to purchase this device, you will not regret it!

I've been interested in robot vacuums with mopping capabilities for a while, but I've hesitated to buy one due to mixed reviews. Recently, I finally bit down and aquired the eufy S1 Pro robot vacuum, which takes a unique approach to mopping. Instead of using mopping pads that can trap dirt, the S1 Pro has a rolling mopping brush that continually dispenses water to pick up dirt and deposit it into a separate dirty water tank.The S1 Pro does an impressive job as a mop, effectively cleaning stains that other robot vacuums struggle with. It also performs decently as a vacuum, although it has some difficulties with edges.

It also performs decently as a vacuum, although it has some difficulties with edges. If you'd like to read my full review of the eufy S1 Pro robot vacuum below.------------------------------------------------------------Shipping and PackagingAfter receiving the delivery, I noticed that the package was quite heavy, weighing around 41lbs including the box. I thought it was unusual for just a robot and a station. Upon opening it, I found a comprehensive getting started guide that was very easy to understand. There was also some more documentation in a separate package, all securely packed to prevent any damage during transit. eufy did an excellent job with the packaging and the provided documentation.Everything inside was wrapped nicely, and the robot was packed securely in another box, along with all the necessary accessories. It even included extra side brushes, a rolling mop, a high-performance filter, and a dust bag. eufy makes sure you're well-equipped with backup accessories!--------------------------------------------------------Docking Station Design & Build QualityThe S1 Pro robot vacuum operates mostly autonomously in day-to-day use, thanks to its convenient self-emptying and self-cleaning docking station.The docking station features a clear 3-liter water tank, making it easy to see when refilling is needed. It also houses the ozone creation process that sterilizes the tank, ensuring the water on-board the vacuum is more hygienic when carrying out its mopping duties.Additionally, the docking station can automatically mix detergent into the water tank using 600ml bottles of eufy’s own Hard Floor Cleaner. Dirty water is removed from the vacuum cleaner at the base of the station after roller cleaning and collected in a 2-liter tank at the rear of the station. It's important to clean this tank to prevent any unwanted smells. The docking station also dries the roller with hot air and rotates it to ensure thorough drying. A spare roller is included, which is very handy, allowing you to clean one while using the other.Dust is collected from the vacuum cleaner into a 2.5-liter bag on the station, which eufy claims can hold up to two months' worth of dirt. The vacuum itself has a small bin with a filter that can be cleaned if clogged.An LCD screen on top of the docking station provides maintenance alerts and instructions, making upkeep straightforward. Shortcut buttons on the robot and docking station allow for starting and stopping cleaning without needing the app if you’re stuck and need to send the robot back to the station but don’t have your phone on you.---------------------------------------------------------Robot Vacuum Design & Build QualityThe eufy S1 Pro sets itself apart with a mopping roller. This roller covers almost the entire width of the robot, providing thorough floor contact and a wide cleaning path.As the roller turns, it picks up dirt, which is then deposited into the robot’s reservoir. This allows the S1 Pro to mop for extended periods without requiring the roller to be cleaned, preventing dirt from being spread across the floor. However, some maintenance will be necessary: the dirty water tank should be removed and rinsed weekly, and the debris tray should also be cleaned regularly.Nonetheless, the S1 Pro is relatively low-maintenance. Its floor brush is designed to prevent tangling with hair, with most of the hair collecting at the end of the roller for easy removal.The eufy S1 Pro’s 3D Matrix Eye system utilizes a camera, sensors, and AI to navigate and avoid obstacles such as shoes and cables. It skillfully maneuvers around objects like potted plants while staying close to ensure a thorough cleaning. Although it's helpful to move some items for a deep clean, the S1 Pro generally operates without much need for intervention.-------------------------------------------------------Vacuuming PerformanceThe S1 Pro has 8,000pa suction power, which is one of the highest in its class. It adjusts suction power automatically on carpets, effectively removing dirt and debris from both hard floors and carpets. It comes with dual side brushes to clean edges, although corners may still need manual attention.------------------------------------------------------Mopping PerformanceI don't have any previous experience with robot vacuums, but the S1 Pro did an excellent job. It efficiently removed various stains such as black coffee, strawberry jam, and clay from potted plants placed around our hard floor surface. The roller remained clean throughout the cleaning session, ensuring consistent performance.The S1 Pro eliminates the need for a traditional hard floor cleaner. It handled spills and tougher, dried-on stains quite well. However, the roller doesn't extend fully to the edges, so you may need to do some manual cleaning with a cloth in those harder-to-reach places. The 12mm clearance of the roller prevented wetting most short-pile carpets and rugs, which is a feature that also worked effectively.----------------------------------------------------------------------eufy Clean App Functionality and Voice AssistantsThe eufy Clean app is available on both Android and iOS and is very user-friendly. When setting up the S1 Pro for the first time, a quick mapping run is needed, and the LiDAR system automatically generates a map. You can split, merge, and name rooms for convenience. The app supports virtual boundaries, no-go zones, and no-mop zones, which are useful for protecting delicate flooring or low furniture.You can control cleaning from the app, selecting specific rooms or zones and adjusting settings for vacuuming, mopping, suction power, and water usage. Voice commands via Alexa and Google Assistant allow you to start, stop, and dock the robot, which is surprisingly convenient.----------------------------------------------------------Battery Life & MaintenanceThe 4600mAh battery provides up to 170 minutes of runtime in standard mode. Even at higher settings, it covers a large area. The robot can return to the dock to recharge mid-clean if necessary and will go back to where it left off once it gets back to 65% charge, which is very clever. As mentioned previously, regular maintenance for both the vacuum and docking station includes weekly rinsing of the debris tray and dirty water tank. The docking station’s debris tray should also be rinsed to prevent clogs, though the robot will alert you if this happens. Monthly maintenance also includes wiping the robot’s sensors and checking the brushes but, thankfully, the eufy Clean app provides reminders for these tasks.---------------------------------------------------------------------ConclusionIs the eufy S1 Pro worth your investment? If deep mopping of large hard floor areas is your priority, the S1 Pro is an excellent choice. Its roller and dirt removal system are highly effective on deep stains, and its self-cleaning capability during mopping sessions is impressive. However, if you need a combination of vacuuming, mopping, and edge performance, there may be better options available.----------------------------------------------------------------------Pros & Cons:Pros:- Excellent Packaging and easy to understand getting started guide- First time use mapping does a excellent job- Vacuuming has some powerful suction- Mopping is excellent, lives up to its hype- The vacuum can maneuver around corners of table legs, shoes, socks, cords, you name it and it gets within 1 inch for a precision clean around the obstacle which is amazing.- In my usage, It can vacuum/mop for over a hour on a 100% battery and be finished with still 30 to 40% left in a 1,200 sq ft home with multiple rooms. Pretty impressive for having the ability to vacuum and mop!Cons:- If using the highest setting for suction during vacuuming, it is loud but expected and normal just like a normal vacuum cleaner.- When it returns to base and its emptying the dust bin, it is way louder then the robot vacuuming the floor and can last for up to 30 seconds or so until it finally turns off.- Drying the roller mop can last up to a hour or more after using the the mopping function.- Price may seem steep for some but so far, being my first ever eufy product, I say its definitely worth it!
