Omni E28

My eufy e28 needs constant attention. The dirty water reservoir sometimes comes loose while running, and it stops to clean. It’ll get itself stuck in some areas. It’ll suck up something small but clog it up and stop cleaning.

Eufy E25 or E28? I’m waiting for my pre-sale coupon to purchase the E25. They just became available in the US.

In the end, I still think you’ll be happier. The E28 has over double the suction compared to S1 Pro. I think all robotic vacuums dirty water tanks smell awful. I do NOT work for any of these companies and use this info at your own risk, but I have found a little splash of Mr. Clean into the dirty tank after each empty keeps the smell manageable. (NO bleach)

Shetland Sheepdog owner here, the struggle is REAL. my robovac eufy e28 fights them all day long. Its duospiral brush really gets the deep-down dog hair out of the carpets, and the portable cleaner is perfect for hitting furniture and those hard-to-reach spots. Honestly, it's cut down on the fur madness significantly. It won't solve everything but I do feel better after.

Pleased you are amused. What is the point in telling people bull shit. I've had an L20, L40, X40. The only one with no issues was the L20 and is still going strong. The L40 and X40 were replaced twice. I've had problems with Samsung . . I'm currently running a roborock, useless with obstacle avoidance, excellent on carpet, and a Eufy E28, very good but a very basic app. It isn't just about Dreame it's about giving no bull shit honest opinions

Having had several robots I'm afraid to say the 40 series are poor on carpet. The best I've found from this manufacturer is the L50. It has the duo brushes and runs lower to the floor creating a better seal. It also has a far superior bin design creating better air flow. Eufy e28 and 25 both good on carpet. If you don't care about mopping the Dyson Vis nav has been floating around with terrific discount. That is best on carpet by a mile.

I'm in UK with a lot of carpet and hair. I've had three Dreame and found them nothing better than ok on carpet. My take is every robot has a problem . . . I'm being serious I'm currently on Eufy and roborock . .. problems. The Eufy E28 when it was 850 was good. Not for a grand though

easy peasy. its beteen the saros and dreame, the roomba is laughable, and the e28 has a lot of errors. I prefer the Saros.

I had so much trouble getting the e28 to work I wasn't even able to test it enough to write about. I was able to use the carpet cleaner, that's it. When it worked, the issues were similar to these, in the e25: https://lifehacker.com/tech/eufy-omni-e25-robot-vacuum-review.

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/)

It was 5 weeks ago, and the e28 they sent me that I tested 8 weeks ago behaved exactly the same way.

personally i did not like the e28 and find Eufy's combo units to be miserable. it's not a great carpet cleaner OR vacuum... wth. But... look around this forum- people LOVE that machine. I'm an outlier. So I would say this. There are going to be 2 smoking deals in the next week, starting tomorrow. You could buy one of them, or snag a deal today, keep both in the box and try the Eufy and see how you like it. Return the unopened box.

sure. If you are willing to spend $100 more, get the Dreame L40 Ultra. it's on clearance, so its $474, but this was a VERY popular model, and you're getting a premium, $1500 robot at 1/3 of the price. It's such a good deal it's hard to argue for anything else at that price point. Don't get another Eufy. This will be better.

This isn't even a competition. Then. I did not like the x9. I don't know why so many people did, did they bother testing it in a real house? It was kind of a mess. I did also test the 10 and the 10r and both worked well. If you've limited it to these two units then it's a no-brainer for me.

Hey. Because you're all hard floor and you named some specific features, I thought I'd talk through this with you. So, Pa is important, sure, but I'm testing robots with absurdly high Pa (over 20k) that miss a lot of debris, and then there's the Switchbot K10+ which has almost no Pa and gets most stuff up. I believe, strongly, that Pa matters less than people think (and marketing people at big brands agree, they keep upping Pa because consumers name it as their main decision making factor). What matters is the design and location of the sweeps in relation to the roller. I say all this because on hard floors, you see ALL the cat hair and litter... so that design is even more important. Navigating around toys: easy. Everyone does it well. Cords? No one does it well. Debris management: 3 months in between changing the bag isn't a big deal. I think you'll be fine. mova v50- low end parts. dreame L50- wasn't bad, but thought the vacuum left a lot to be desired. narwal freo z10, narwal freo z ultra- opposite of no maintenance. you'll be refilling the water every day. eufy e28-has the right sweep/roller design, but was riddled with errors and leaks roborock qrevo curv s5x. dreame x50- good option.

Dyson really had a swing and a miss with the visnav. It SUCKS and it shouldn't!!! But, its time to let go of the notion that Dyson is "the best vacuum". I learned this when Samsung sent me their stick vacuum and it blew the socks off all the Dyson's I'd tested. So... skip it. 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.

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.

Same! Loving it so far and I’m putting it to work with nearly daily mopping.

I've been scouring Reddit, trying to decide if I should wait or move ahead with one of the roller mops. I'm upgrading from the Roborock S7 Max V to trying out the Eufy E28 Omni right now. I was torn between the Narwal Flow with the Auto plumbing or the Aqua 10 Roller Ultra or the Mova Z50 Ultra. Seeing as how Narwal has been running this launch, I don't know how much trust a company that doesn't even respect their own products by handicapping an entire option right at launch. They're launching the standard base station without the auto detergent that they were advertising at CES, and then they are launching the auto base station without warranty or accessories and for a lot more than standard. Is it because the standard base station was rushed that they had to remove certain features at launch, and who knows what other corners were cut to make up for the launch. Or is it because the auto base station is made so poorly that they can't stand by it and have to remove the warranty because they know it probably will fail in less than 3 years... Or both. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the Narwal Flow with the auto exchanger, but now seeing the confirmation that they won't include the same warranty and accessories, even though it is significantly more than standard. I'm not sure now...
