Omni E25

Honestly, i wouldn't buy either of these, I didn't love them, BUT.... I can confirm they will not go on sale until 7/8, and the deals have already been announced. The [e25](https://amzn.to/4lb3Ofh) is going to be $699 and the [e28](https://amzn.to/4euK9UW) $799, and those deals are the same on amazon, walmart and [eufy.com](http://eufy.com) (but those are affiliate links for Amazon, which has the best return policy, IMO). if you're curious why I wouldn't, I covered them here: https://lifehacker.com/tech/eufy-omni-e25-robot-vacuum-review. But... everyone should get what makes them happy. I have a list of all the prime day deals here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime\_day\_deals/](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime_day_deals/)

I have had a number of people respond to the review and here on this forum saying that they have the exact same problem. Eufy replaced the e25, And the second unit had... Wait for it .. The same problems. They felt strongly the e28 did not have perm problems, so They didn't replace it and wanted to continue trying to fix each individual error. We did that for about 3 weeks before it became a losing proposition for me and I couldn't realistically write about it. Because I tested the e28 first, I assumed it was just e28, in the e25 would perform differently. You understand I do this professionally correct? I'm glad you're happy with these models but, being defensive of them to the point that you suggest I don't know how to do my job is a bit much. I have tested seven or eight eufy vacuums and so I have a decent lay of the land.

Hi! Going to join in, because I've tested all of these units in my home. So, first lets put a qualifier on here. Do you care about the KIND of mop? Lots of people do, I think its not something to hinge your decision on, but if you do care about having a roller mop, take the x50 out. Now, between these choices, I'd say that the best, for me, was the S10. it was good at everything, and hands off. But... some people haven't loved it the way I did, they mentioned a musty smell, probably because of the dehumidifier. I live in the PNW, sit 10 feet away and don't smell anything. After that, I'd say its a tie between the Flow and x50. The x50 navigated large spaces really well without getting lost, and is a champ at mapping. The Flow tends (its still installed) to get stuck occasionally on my threshhold, which is less than an inch. No reason for it. I haven't tested the Curv 2 Flow, but liked the QRevo and specifically, the Curv lines, and Roborock generally. Based solely on specs, I would discount it in favor of others. * I’m specifically looking for something that is as “hands-off” as possible and can handle both hair and actual messes (not just light dust) but also doesn't require it to be linked to the home plumbing because we're in a townhome and are unable to do that The ONLY robot I have ever tested that sucked up real, big, legit debris is the 3i S10. Haters to the left. I dare any other vacuum to suck up a small piece of cardboard or mulch and not get stuck. Robots are good at microdebris (dust) and maybe debris up to a cheerio (a cheerio would actually put some robots down, but nothing bigger except the 3i. So in terms of hands off. no question- its the 3i. Also, while it SUCKS to move in, its very heavy, you never change the water. After that.... the x50. I do have to tend to the Flow every week or so. * How well do these handle laminate flooring + rugs (especially transitions and not soaking edges)? The rug question is a trap. What kind of rug? How is it anchored to the floor? Ruggables do better than most. Low pile do better. Tassels? Forget it. High pile, unanchored like a bath mat? Forget it. But honestly, most modern robots don't soak the edges of rugs. But I suspect you'll change your floor plan re rugs after getting a robot. Laminates are fine. I think rollers do better if we'er talking LVP, if you can get the robot to go with the "grain". * Do any of these struggle with anti-fatigue mats or getting stuck? Almost all. They'll move it around, might get water a bit around them. But... robots with lifting chassis like the x50 do better. I watched the x50 (and x60) successfully navigate a kitchen fatigue mat. * Real-world mopping performance on sticky messes (not just “light dirt”) Flow. Sticky, specifically, is hard. Its not going to get it on the first pass. You need to send the robot to that spot, and then go to max water, and send the robot over it a few times. After the Flow, the 3i. Then the x50. * Hair management (long hair + dog hair) Again, sorry. 3i. It has combs inside that deal with it. I'd prefer a razor like the Eureka J15 line or Dreame's tricut roller, available on some models, but of your choices, That's the best. The x50 also advertises a comb system, I didn't think as much of it. The Flow wasn't great around this. Consider the Flow more of a mop than a vacuum. The bigger issue is getting the hair off the floor, and that's about the magic triad of sweep/roller/suction. High suction doesn't matter if the sweep doesn't get it into alignment with the rollers, and if the rollers don't get it off the floor to present to the suction tube. The reason the 3i does it well (the eureka line does, too. The Eufy e25 should, but it doesn't) is GIANT sweeps that move in opposite directions, and always have contact w the floor. Other brands use sweeps with 2 arms instead, and one one of them, one one side. * Obstacle avoidance in a lived-in home (not staged, clutter-free floors) Again, this is a trap. In order for your robot to be successful, you will eventually capitulate to getting the floor less cluttered. Cords will become wall bound, toys will get cleaned up, lamps will become more anchored to the wall, etc. But generally, all four of these robots are about as capable. * Long-term maintenance, what’s annoying after a few months? NO ONE has tested these for many months. And for everyone who has a robot they love, someone will hate it. What's realistic is to assume upkeep. You'll need to really crack the robot open and clean it once a month. That's the robot, and the tower. This is 30 min of work. But doing this is going to keep the robot running well.

I mean I like the flow but I don't love it. I have major ADHD and a dog and chickens and I got robots to take some of the labor away. I got annoyed enough at the flow that I just let it sit on the dock for 2 weeks. I mean it's not a bad vacuum. But I'm annoyed by the fact that after watching roborock, for instance, spend so much time and energy engineering this sweep and going from three arms to two arms and it extends and it's asymmetrical, etc. Etc. In the end, it was so simple. You just need two giant effing sweeps that always have contact with the floor. Now that that's been discovered. Why isn't everyone copying that? Why was the e25/28 So bad when it had the right design? I don't know. I mean not to be a spoiled sport, but no matter what robot you get, you're going to have some complaints about it. And theoretically, they'll be things you love about it. You've narrowed It down to two good robots, buy one and move forward.

I feel like I just this conversation in another thread..... here's precisely what I said, same thing here. The Pro 8 was a great robot, but there have been LEAPS and bounds since then. I have the f25 as well, and I'm a big fan. (altho, honestly, the Narwal is even better) If you have pets, the issues are 2fold. First, you gotta get the hair off the floor. Once it gets up the floorboards, no robot can get it. To get it off the floor, you need sweeps that are really good. In my opinion, only a few companies are doing that. 3i and Eufy. One piddly sweep on the side isn't gonna cut it. You need two sweeps, and they need to have contact w the floor. Now unfortunately, the Eufy e25/28 that have this feature suck, IMO, for other reasons. 3i's are gigantic, move in opposite directions and are always in contact w the floor. They work exceptionally well. Part 2- you want a vacuum with a razor that cuts the hair. Again, only a few do this. Some Dreame models, Eureka's J15 line and 3i. Now, I'm a 3i stan. I think its spectacular, but its not for everyone... so you have to figure out what other priorities you have. Does the tower need to look nice? Dreame wins there. Do you have large debris or just dog hair? Large debris? Only 3i. More carpet than hard floor? Eureka. Usually, when people have pets, I steer them towards the best Eureka J15 they can afford. Most are quite happy. I have a short hair dog who sheds incessantly and drags in mulch from outside and general mud/dirt, and I love the 3i s10. I know lots of people with Dreame x40/x50/x60 that have pets and are happy. Anything in those product ranges will prob suit you well.

It’s not that great. The [Roborock S5A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNDTP9CJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_39JR03P9E13NPAAYRBV8?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=8e06d72c14cd2bcc4956dab578834be4) and [Eufy E25](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK2HPNCB/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_dl_768BRK6R7RAQH8XXFCF0?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=a1ba49f180d30019d3a4f266b8539ae7) are much better choices for the best value.

You’re not wrong. But I’ve done quite a bit of research. The cheap robot vacuums usual don’t end up working well. They get tangled with wires, shoe laces and more. Perform horribly after 3 months. I’ve had the S5A (but upgraded to the [Saros 10R](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHCJ571Z/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_8HG89DV1JKFW3PSFMZTJ?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=07cc978855bac0ed53650554cd518a77) and gave the S5A to my sister) and my parents have the Eufy E25 So yes I’ve tried both of them. No complaints and they outperform a cheap Dreame robot vacuum with shitty customer service.

My experience was opposite. App was ok, hated the robot. It ran into everything it could find, to the point that it was damaging things.

[Eufy E25](https://amzn.to/3LBPEqL) is probably the best valued roller mop out there right now, Black Friday deals should have it around $600-$700, currently $649 so my is guess it will be at least that low. Yes, its good for tile and water splashes from watering plants, etc. If you don't have carpets the [Eufy S1 Pro](https://amzn.to/4oNOJCe) is another good option for mopping and hard floors. Outside of those, the [Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/3Xwcjar) should be around $999 for black friday which is a step above in performance. After that you're in the $1000+ for roller mop robots.

E25 by a mile

I used the Eufy E25 for a couple of weeks, and overall, it’s a solid vacuum for its price point—I’m honestly not sure there’s anything better in that range. Navigation was surprisingly good with no major issues, and the mopping function worked well too. Obstacle avoidance handled most cords without trouble, though it did get stuck once on a coat rack leg, and after that, it somehow “lost” its dock. I’m not sure what happened, but it started prompting me in the app to fix it, and I ended up returning it for other reasons anyway. Maintenance-wise, it does require a fair bit of cleaning. You’ll need to stay on top of the roller area, the scraper bar, and the dirty water bin. It’s not terrible, but after seeing how much buildup there was after just a week, I realized it wasn’t the best fit for my household. If your floors stay relatively clean, I could see it working out fine, but with multiple pets constantly in and out, hair and grime accumulated pretty fast.

I'll tell you the more the spend the more critical I am. I've tried the latest flagships and returned them for one reason or another. Not sure if it's the design needed to fit all the fancy tech but they are just worse for pet hair. I'm current trying a Eufy E25, while it isn't perfect, flagships are certainly not +$500 better. I love it's big dust bin and hasn't clogged with shpherd hair yet. If anything it has me hyped for the Eufy S2. If I had to recommend a flagship at this point the only one would be the Narwal Flow. Excellent all around except for mopping pressure and moisture. I wish you could crank those up some and it would be perfect.

Very good robot esp for the price

The E25 is better in pretty much every metric you could measure a robot vacuum by.

In that price range the closest one with quality navigation and current gen mopping would a Eufy E25, its a little over your budget but on sale and if you get it from Eufy's website its further discounted and comes with accessories. I've tested the top tier options right now and trying out an E25 at the moment and its really competitive.

It depends if you want the latest and greatest features. If you are just looking for core mopping and vacuuming features then yeah there are plenty in that price range! I think the Eufy E25 is one of the better valued robots right now, esp when its on sale.

I find it hard to find a better vac for it's price point. There are better vacs for more money but at $599 right now the package and features you get with a roller mop is unmatched.

Congratulations on the deep clean! That's a huge accomplishment. I am in Norway as well, I'd personally recommend Eufy E25. I've had mine for about 2 months, the self-cleaning roller mop is great. Regarding where to buy it for good local support, I'd suggest checking the [official AnkerNordics website](https://www.ankernordics.com/products/t2353g11?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=others&utm_content=Others_&utm_campaign=AnkerNordics_E25&utm_term=ZZ1A6C38) . They are the direct distributor for the region, so you'll get the correct model, a valid warranty, and reliable customer service here in Scandinavia. I ordered mine from there and had no issues with shipping or support. Hope this helps you maintain that amazing clean feeling without the backache!

I've actually seen your budget and it fits eufy e25 , last summer I actually bought one from one of their stores and from my own experience with it is that the [eufy e25](https://www.ankernordics.com/products/t2353g11?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=others&utm_content=Others_&utm_campaign=AnkerNordics_E25&utm_term=ZZ1A6C38) gives you the easiest tradeoff between power and upkeep. It picks up tracked litter and pet fur since it has a strong suction power than cheap models,that I've been using And honestly, for the price, it just takes the mental load right out of daily cleaning.

I agree with this having owned both. I had to return the x10 last year due to battery issues (after replacements sent by eufy) and the mops were making a weird noise which was the breaking point. Currently have the E25 and very happy with it.
