Eufy’s S1 Pro robot vacuum and mop offers a significant departure from the typical vacuum/mop hybrids currently on the market. Featuring a full-width powered roller mop and exceptional obstacle avoidance, this model is designed to tackle home cleaning with unparalleled efficiency, making it a standout choice in the growing robot vacuum market.
Eufy, a division of Anker, is known for its methodical approach to innovation. Rather than releasing new models frequently, the company focuses on improving existing products through firmware updates and refining its cleaning technology. This commitment to quality extends across Eufy’s range of smart home products, including security cameras, smart locks, and even wearable breast pumps.
Innovative Mopping Technology
Most robot vacuum/mops use either static or vibrating platten mops, or dual rotating pads, which often require frequent cleaning due to the drag of dirty water across floors. The Eufy S1 Pro, however, stands out with its roller mop technology, which uses clean “ozonated” water and an optional floor solution. This system saturates the roller and squeegees off dirty water into an onboard tank, ensuring more effective mopping and minimizing the spread of dirt across your home.
This roller technology, borrowed from Eufy’s Mach 1 power mop, offers the most efficient mopping experience we’ve encountered in a robot vacuum/mop hybrid. The S1 Pro’s performance has set a new standard in the category, and we expect other brands to follow suit.
Competitor Comparison
At CES 2025, Ecovacs introduced the X8 Pro Omni, which builds on Tineco technology with an extendable roller for edge cleaning. While this adds versatility, the Eufy S1 Pro’s full-width roller remains unmatched in cleaning performance.
Testing and Panel Feedback
To test the S1 Pro, we used four different homes to ensure it was suitable for various environments. Our panel was particularly impressed with several features:
- Shape and Cleaning: The D-shape design allowed for superior corner cleaning, a crucial advantage in tight spaces.
- LCD Control: The UniClean station’s touch control was intuitive and easy to use.
- Obstacle Avoidance: The 120° 3D SLAM dToF LiDAR and advanced camera sensors performed exceptionally well, recognizing 55 types of obstacles and enabling precise navigation.
- Mop and Vacuum Features: The roller mop’s ability to lift 12mm over carpets and handle sills up to 20mm was a standout. Its cleaning pattern was logical and efficient, ensuring thorough coverage.
While the mopping feature exceeded expectations, the carpet vacuuming and edge cleaning were more average. The S1 Pro also performed well on edges, but its mop doesn’t extend beyond the body, limiting its ability to clean further out.
Additional Strengths
- Water Cleaning and Mopping: The ozone generator sanitizes the water, meaning no cleaning solution is needed. The addition of Eufy’s own cleaning solution further enhances its grease-cutting power.
- Privacy: The system operates offline, ensuring privacy for users concerned about data security.
Consumer Advice
The S1 Pro review does not apply to the original Eufy Mach S1 Omni Pro and Mach app, which were introduced on Kickstarter in June 2024. The updated S1 Pro, launched with 26 improvements, is now available for purchase, and it’s worth noting that the new version is not only more efficient but also better integrated with the Eufy Clean app.
At an RRP of $2699.95, but often found under $2000, the S1 Pro is a premium option, but its advanced features justify the price. You can find it at retailers like Harvey Norman, Good Guys, and Eufy’s online store.
Final Thoughts
The Eufy S1 Pro is a revolutionary addition to the world of robot vacuums and mops. With its powerful roller mop technology, superior navigation, and effective cleaning capabilities, it’s a product designed for those who want a top-tier cleaning solution for their home. Despite its high price point, the S1 Pro offers remarkable value for anyone serious about upgrading their home cleaning tools.
