Eufy - S1

I just ordered the new non-pro EUFY S1 after evaluating both the X8 and the Eureka J 15. For $799 it felt like the best bang for the buck at this point in the game. Good luck.

Eufy S1 non pro version is $699 on sale and it is solid for the money

The Eufy S1 is a great robot…. I have the non pro model for about a month now… so far so good 😊

Garbage compared to the eufy S1 which is $799 and a far superior robot. The shark app is probably the worst in the business. Avoid.

I have the S1 non pro and with mostly hardwood floors and scattered area rugs the vacuum works just fine. Overall for the $799 I paid very satisfied. The E25 does look like it ups the game a bit. Time will tell but Eufy does have the best overall offerings as of 2025.

Eufy S1 non-pro model $799. Best value, best mopping

Never once had a hair tangle with the eufy S1 and its superior to dreame in every way possible

Eufy is the king right now the S1 non pro is $799 great value.

The Eufy S1 changed everything with the mopping capabilities and design. The Eufy E25/28 new models further advance this technology. It’s just finally getting better.

I got the Eufy S1 non pro model for $799 and overall it’s awesome 👏

Eufy S1 non pro $599 with roller mop Mova is just Dreame repackaged and I sent mine back as it never made a single run on its own. Just my experience but Eufy has been solid for me so far.

The S1 non pro is $699 that’s what I purchased from Amazon. Working great so far.

I have the Eufy S1 and C20 both been great robots and I had to return a dreame that didn’t work out of the box brand new and my first one was a shark which is the worst of the worst in my opinion

Love my eufy vac also! Came from and still have the s1 (standard version). My biggest surprise with the e28 was the portable cleaner, and not just that it's there, but how much I use it. I thought the concept was a cool idea and I would use it occasionally in my car or something because I was so used to using my full size carpet cleaner. I find myself grabbing this thing every week. Spill some coffee? Used to just use a towl but now the base station is right there and already has water it's just as fast as grabbing a towel. Also use it for dog prints, some smaller marks may have stayed for a few weeks until there was enough for me to clean them all at once now I just grab the portable cleaner and do it right away.

Vacuum wars is the real deal, pretty sure I watch every video (nerd alert). They also have a video for every vacuum that compares it to others in its range. So I recommend checking them out based on your specific home and wants. Imo eufy has the best obstacle avoidance at the moment especially on the s1 pro, it's amazing. I would recommend the eufy s1 pro or the e25 (e28 if you also wanted a portable carpet cleaner). Roller mop is a game changer and far superior, if buying new don't get one with spinning pads. Edit: I personally own the eufy s1 and the eufy x10. Love them both and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. Most hard floors with some large rugs in my home.

Its been a year or two since I have used another brands flagship and the roborock i had before isn't really fair to compare, it didn't really have what I would accept as obstacle avoidance. I have a eufy s1 as well and I have been very happy with it. Occasionally it will pick up a rug edge or something but never gets stuck and just goes around and comes back over the top. I can make a video on that specific topic if it's helpful. If you watch my baseboard video linked above there are a few avoidance type scenarios in there. I have 4 children and I run it every night. While not the craziest mess at the moment this is a very common scenario for it to navigate if I don't clean up every night. Hope that answers at least some of your question. https://preview.redd.it/enpfi6pxbtrf1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab26dea10861962807ec2d14a698dbeffd2bdf48

I personally own both an s1 and a Eufy e28. Besides the leak that was already mentioned (fix being shipped from what I've seen, waiting for mine) the mopping performance is very similar. The e28 however blows the s1 series out of the water with vacuuming. And I'm not talking the advertised suction power I'm talking the roller brush. The s series has an all rubber brush which does fine on hard floor but not good on carpets and rugs, it's not rigid enough and get hair inside the roller you have to clean. The e25/e28 has the dual roller with combo rubber and bristles and it makes a Massive difference. If buying today save a couple bucks for more features and go with the e25/e28. It's brush roll and extending side brush are superior to the s1. Don't get me wrong I like my s1 e series is just newer and they learned some things. Just make sure you get the new tank with the rubber on the bottom or contact support and they should ship you one for free. Side note: e28 has the portal cleaner. Honestly didnt think I would use it much because I already had a full upright with a hose. I was wrong, it awesome just having it right there and already full of water lol.

My first question: have you read the lease carefully to ensure that the robot vacuum "advice" isn't actually part of your contract? As it is, if the robot caused any damage to your floors, the landlord could use that as justification for keeping your damage deposit when you move out. If the prohibition of robot mops is mentioned in your lease, the landlord could even sue you for damage caused to the floor. There have been reports of robot mops damaging hardwood floors, so you should be very clear in your own mind about the risk you're taking. That said, some practical advice: * It should be possible to control water flow on most modern mops. Be careful of smart mopping features, however, as they can cause the robot to go over specific areas over and over, putting a lot of water in a small space. Vacuum Wars has started measuring the amount of water left on the floor after mopping and incorporating that into their mop scores, which might be useful here. * Stone tile won't have the same problems as hardwood. If you limit robot mopping to the tile floors and keep your base station on the tile floors, you should be in much better shape risk-wise. * Speaking of the base station, if something were to go badly wrong with a water leak, it's most likely to happen there. If you can't keep the base on the stone tiles, get a waterproof pad to put under the base to catch leaks. A loud leak detector is a really good idea, wherever you put the base. If you leave the house unattended, do not schedule mopping jobs during that time, and drain the water from the robot and base. * If you ever plan to use the robot mop on the wood, stick to roller mop designs. The onboard scraper will remove debris from the roller pad as quickly as it's picked up. Be especially cautious of spinning pad mops; if they pick up a small rock, they could gouge a swirl pattern into the wood very quickly. Unfortunately, this would disqualify all the robots you mention in the mid-range category. * Most robot mops can clean with water only, either via an app setting or by just not adding detergent. I would check for this on any candidate models. I can confirm that the Eufy S1 Pro has a detergent bottle, but will mop without the bottle installed. In your shoes, I would purchase with the assumption that I would only be able to vacuum the floors, based on the landlord's directive. I don't want to be too harsh, but if I were a clean freak and had a landlord trying to dictate exactly how floors should be cleaned, I would seriously reconsider signing the lease in the first place. I've had good results with my Eufy S1 Pro on my LVP floors, so if you go for a robot mop, that might be a good choice. It's a roller mop design, and I've never observed it put excessive water on the floor even on the highest flow setting. Plus, it's often on sale for $1000. You should also consider the Eufy S1 (non-Pro), which will be a bit cheaper at the cost of some features.

There are four types of mops on robots these days: * A stationary pad. These are the cheapest, and generally the least effective. * A vibrating pad. This is how your S8 works; it's a stationary pad, except that it vibrates as it mops. Better than non-vibrating pads, but still not the best. * Two approximately-round spinning pads. This is the most popular option today, and better than the vibrating or stationary pads. * A long roller or track mop, similar to a wet/dry vac. These are generally the best when implemented well, mostly because they clean the roller/track as it mops and store the dirty water on the robot for later emptying into the base. Eufy has historically been the leader with roller mop robots, and until recently, their S1 series was one of the best robots to get if you valued mopping performance above all else. They're still a great choice, but they sacrifice some vacuuming performance for the excellent mop, are short on smart mopping features like dirt detection, and don't do edges and corners as well. The newer ones are attempting to fix these issues, with varying levels of success so far. Independent reviews are still a little scarce on the Eufy E25 and E28, and very hard to find for any of the unreleased robots (Narwal Flow and Mova Z50 come to mind here). But I'd say these robots are your best options in the roller space. The Ecovacs X8 and Yeedi S14 also have rollers, and that part of those robots seem to do well, but there have been reports of software glitches impacting navigation and obstacle avoidance; check reviews and user reports closely before buying one of those. Spinning-pad robots can also be a good choice, though I've heard that they tend to leave streaks on glossy tile if that's what you have. Narwal's been releasing cheaper robots in this space that seem to do well. Be sure they have the smart mopping features, and that these features work well; that's how these robots overcome some of the limitations with spinning-pad robots.

The bad news is that all current robots with roller mops also vacuum, and all that I know of don't have a mop-only mode. The good news is that there are a number of models which fulfill all of the other items on your want list with varying levels of quality, with more on the way. Here's the list of robots I know of on the market today, with short bouts of summarization/opinion: * SwitchBot S10+. Really cool design, with separate docking stations for the vacuum and mop water filling/emptying. Can be hooked up to plumbing. Can also empty their dehumidifier/fill their humidifier. Can extend the roller to clean right up to walls. Mixed reviews; the mop is a huge positive. * Eureka J20. Independent reviews have not been kind, though the mop has been a standout. * 3i S10 Ultra. Includes a dehumidifier to fill the clean water tank from the air, and a still to distill dirty water into clean water and send the leftovers to the vacuum dustbin. Pretty good reviews, although there's some concern about the longevity of the water management system, there is no way to empty the dirty water tank apart from the still, and the mopping has had a surprising number of poor reviews. Also can extend the roller to get close to walls. * Eufy S1/S1 Pro. Current market leader, with overall positive reviews of the mopping system. Cannot extend the mop roller to walls. Very good obstacle avoidance. (Disclaimer: I own a S1 Pro.) * Ecovacs X8/Yeedi S14. Essentially the same robot; Yeedi is the budget brand for Ecovacs. Very recently released, and the current challenger to the S1. It's still a bit early for independent reviews, but the ones out there are all over the place. There's some concern about Ecovacs/Yeedi robots generally; perception is that their quality has gone down recently. And some that have been announced, but not released yet: * Narwal Flow. * Mova Z50 Ultra.

Maintenance is pretty easy on my S1 Pro. I usually spend about a half-hour per week on it; this includes filling and emptying tanks, blowing out the vacuum filter, handling hair (it's not as good at hair tangles, but not the worst either), and cleaning out the debris filter in the robot's dirty water tank. The app will nag you for other maintenance items. You can cut down on maintenance by buying the plumbing kit for the S1 Pro; if I didn't need to mess with the tanks anyway, I'd probably only worry about maintenance every other week at most. Since you mentioned it: the roller slides on and off easily, with a little latch you press that normally holds it in place. It generally runs without needing much until it gets worn out, at which point you replace it, which is about $20. I just did mine after a little less than six months. People complain about the maintenance of the dirty water tank, but I don't think it's that bad. The one thing people get irritated at which I understand: there are three filters that are intended to be replaced in the robot dirty water tank. One of them spends a good bit of time wet, and the little handle to pull it out of the robot has a tendency to rust. It doesn't affect the filter's operation, or weaken enough to break (though I imagine it would eventually if you neglected replacing it for too long). If it matters: I love my S1 Pro, and would buy it again if I had to do it over.

What's more important for you: great hard floor mopping and so-so carpet vacuuming, or the reverse? Unfortunately, even with the most expensive robots, it's all about compromise. If you prioritize mopping, you can go two routes right now: "dumber" but really good mopping, or second-rate mopping that makes up for it with smart features. For the former, I believe the market leader is still the Eufy S1 or S1 Pro, with its roller mop. The roller mop is superior largely because it cleans the roller as it mops and collects dirty water on the robot itself, while all the rest rely on going back to the dock to clean the mop occasionally, leaving more of a possibility of spreading dirt around rather than taking it off the floor. Look at the extra features for the Pro to see if they're worth the extra money. There are a few newer robots that have roller mops with some better features, but reviews have been mixed at best for these, so proceed with caution; these would include the Ecovacs Deebot X8 and Yeedi S14 (which are largely the same unit with a few different features and prices, as Yeedi is the budget brand for Ecovacs). Most of the top flagship robots fall into the second category, including the Roborock Saros 10R and Dreame X50. I've described how roller mops are better than the spinning pads of these robots. These higher-end robots make up for that by analyzing what it's doing with various features to recognize stains or messes, or sensing dirt in the water used to wash the mop. In those cases, it will pay more attention to messy spots, go back early to wash the mop, or re-mop areas it thinks might have been too dirty to clean effectively the first time. This can be more effective than a dumb roller mop -- when the AI systems actually figure out that something needs to happen, which they don't always do. These seem to be improving over time, though. If you prioritize vacuuming, my advice would likely be the same for preferring smart mops, as those flagships also tend to be better at vacuuming than roller mops have been so far. These would also be good choices if you're not as willing to sacrifice some vacuuming performance for top-notch mopping. My experience with the Eufy S1 Pro is that the carpet performance is OK, but not great, and I have no reason to believe other roller mops have improved on that. Finally, there are a number of robots due to be released in the next few months that promise to give you the best of all worlds: great roller mop performance with smart mopping and awesome vacuuming. These would include the Mova Z50 and Narwal Flow. Of course, we won't know for sure until we have good independent reviews available; they apparently exist in Chinese, but I don't have access to those, so can't comment. It's possible that the new robots won't be any better than what you can get now, so it's up to you whether it's worth waiting.

I'll add to the chorus of happy S1 Pro owners. Did you know there's a plain S1, non-Pro? You lose a few features, but also a few hundred dollars off the price, depending on what sale you can get.

When I bought my Eufy S1 last year, the design was a big contributor to my decision. It looks good to me, and it's easy to do things with the base without bending down.

FWIW, the model number on the Eufy is incorrect. The Eufy S1, not the Pro, supports Matter. Good news: the S1 is cheaper.

Good news: the S1 (non-Pro) is cheaper, and is actually the model that supports Matter. It might even be in your budget range.

Here are the cheapest models I can see right now. All prices in USD, usually from Amazon US. * SwitchBot S10 and S20 for $500. * Eureka J20 for $500. * Eufy S1 for $600. * Eufy E25 for $750 (price from Best Buy and Walmart; Amazon is out of stock for some reason). My personal recommendation would be the S1. It's cheaper than the E25, and is a bit more polished in a few ways. The E25 will be better on carpets and has an extending side brush to get junk out of corners better; that might be worth $150 to you. The SwitchBot S10 has received decidedly mixed reviews, so check those out carefully if you want to go that way. The S20 is new, so not a lot of reviews yet. The Eureka J20 also didn't review very well. IMO, the extra $100 for the S1 is money well spent. All other roller models right now will be close to or over $1000. Full disclosure: I own a S1 Pro, and love it, which is why I'm keen on the S1.

Roborock is best for pet hair, and the eufi S1 is best for mopping floors. Eify s1 pro is okay with pet hair, i have one, but I've seen reviews where the robo is better.

We love our Euphy s1. I have nothing bad to say about it other than it won't go under our couch, but our Roomba will.

Eufy S1 Pro and S1 are the best for mopping 🙂

While roller mops are more difficult to maintain compared to spinning mops, their superior cleaning performance makes them worth it. The Eufy S1 Pro, S1, E25, Ecovacs X8, and the new X9 are all solid options. But if you want better customer support and more reliable software, Eufy is the way to go.

I’ve been using a Eufy S1 in a large mostly open space. It cleans great but the mapping is problematic. I tested it at my home and had the same mapping issue. While it cleaned great, the mapping is not. It is being returned and I’m trying a mova next.

The S1 was solid for about 30 cleans, then it just went nuts. Eufy said the space needed more obstacles. I tired cones places throughout. That didn’t help. If the mova doesn’t work, I’ll try roborock next

I’ve had an S1 (not pro) a few months. It cleans great. The problem has been the mapping glitching. It is being returned.

The eufy e25 and s1 are solid IMO. Eufy has a fix for the water drop issue and the s1 is very dependable. E25 can get up some stubborn stains from my 6 and 8 yr old. Under the dinner table and in their art area. I can also speak for eufys support being very responsive for their products.

Eufy S1 is fantastic on my hardwoods

Yeah those swiffer pad junk was garbage. Switchbot didn't do too well with the roller in my testing video. Oddly the Eufy S1 besides a battery failure has been doing well in my tests. Crazy it can pick up dried muddy foot prints.
