This isn’t the very best robotic vacuum I’ve examined.
The Eureka E10 is pretty inexpensive within the face of different robotic mop-vacs; our suggestion for an inexpensive possibility is $800, whereas the E10 is $600. You may suppose to your self, why purchase a costlier mannequin then? Why spend extra if I haven’t got to?
The Eureka is a bit of dumb. It bumps into so many stuff you’d suppose it is carrying a blindfold, and if I transfer the vacuum round an excessive amount of–like flipping it over to chop the hair on the comb, or my toddler will get curious and pushes it round–it’ll overlook the place it’s and wipe my dwelling map from its reminiscence. It is adorably dumb when it may’t work out methods to get round my husband’s workplace chair, and infuriatingly dumb when it will get itself caught on the identical patch of rug-to-carpet transition 5 instances in a row.
It is not a foul vacuum. If yow will discover it on sale and largely need it for carpet cleansing, you may probably be glad. I used to be lots proud of the way it vacuumed my carpet. However the mopping and built-in smarts left one thing to be desired.
B-Degree Cleansing
The E10 is only a B pupil attempting to outlive out right here on the planet, a minimum of with regards to vacuuming my carpet.
I used to be fairly proud of the E10’s vacuuming. It left the satisfying vacuum strains and fluffy carpet behind that screamed “freshly cleaned!” But it surely wasn’t nice at getting all of the cat litter off the ground, and it tended to pool a bit of little bit of litter beneath itself when it returned to base. Nonetheless, the vacuuming expertise wasn’t a lot completely different than I obtained with the rather more costly Dreame X30 Extremely (7/10, WIRED Review), and the E10 was a lot, a lot quieter than the Dreame whereas it zipped round my dwelling.

The distinction is within the mopping job. Most robotic vacuum-mops immediately have rotating scrubbers or refillable water tanks or self-cleaning instruments. Not the E10, which has the identical system as robotic mops of yore the place you pour water right into a canteen within the vacuum that is above the only mop pad. Then the vacuum drags the flippantly damp pad round your own home to mop your own home.
