The place the X10 Professional Omni had rotating mop pads, the rolling mop pad on the Omni C28 constantly self-cleans to forestall spreading filth or grime to different elements of the home. Each apply downward stress, however neither can spot dirtier locations on their very own as pricier, AI-powered robot vacuums will. Nonetheless, I used to be blissful to see that it was in a position to scrub away a few of the giant filth smudges in my entryway, although it did not get all of them. It additionally did not handle to clean away all the cherry juice I deliberately spilled in my routine mess setup for robot vacuum testing, even after sending the vacuum to do a second mopping job on one of many spots.

Nonetheless, the Omni C28 was in a position to increase its curler mop excessive sufficient when it switched from mopping my flooring to vacuuming my front room rug that there was no trace of dampness wherever. The older X10 did get my colleague Adrienne So’s carpet moist, however it did not get mine moist, although my carpet is a reasonably low pile. It did a high-quality job vacuuming the carpet, although I may inform the distinction in suction between this and extra highly effective vacuums I’ve examined.
The bottom station is sweet and compact, and consists of drying followers to dry off the curler mop. That does imply there is a light fan noise within the background for a few hours after you utilize this robot vacuum, which was extra annoying than I anticipated, however you could possibly simply place this vacuum’s base station in a much less central spot in your house so you do not hear it. You might additionally arrange a schedule for the vacuum to run within the morning and end its drying job earlier than you get house.

My favourite function on the Omni C28 is that, even at this worth level, it will possibly nonetheless be taught a number of maps. Whereas it will possibly’t climb up stairs, you possibly can transfer it round your private home and swap the maps within the app to the ground you have relocated to. This is not new for Eufy, because the older inexpensive mannequin can do this too, however it’s good to see the function maintained after I’ve tried costlier robotic vacuums that do not embrace it. It is fairly easy to make use of; you may go to the maps, choose “make a brand new map,” after which activate the robotic to map. As soon as the map is made, you may swap to that map from the little map icon on the suitable aspect, which can label them with numbers within the order you created them.
