This isn’t one of the best robotic vacuum I’ve examined.
The Eureka E10 is pretty inexpensive within the face of different robotic mop-vacs; our advice for an inexpensive choice is $800, whereas the E10 is $600. You may assume to your self, why purchase a costlier mannequin then? Why spend extra if I haven’t got to?
The Eureka is a bit dumb. It bumps into so many belongings you’d assume 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’s going to overlook the place it’s and wipe my residence map from its reminiscence. It is adorably dumb when it might’t work out how one can 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 nasty vacuum. If you will discover it on sale and largely need it for carpet cleansing, you may seemingly 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 making an attempt to outlive out right here on the planet, at the least in terms of vacuuming my carpet.
I used to be fairly proud of the E10’s vacuuming. It left the satisfying vacuum traces and fluffy carpet behind that screamed “freshly cleaned!” However it wasn’t nice at getting all of the cat litter off the ground, and it tended to pool a bit little bit of litter beneath itself when it returned to base. Nonetheless, the vacuuming expertise wasn’t a lot totally different than I obtained with the far more costly Dreame X30 Extremely (7/10, WIRED Overview), and the E10 was a lot, a lot quieter than the Dreame whereas it zipped round my residence.

The distinction is within the mopping job. Most robotic vacuum-mops at this time 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 frivolously damp pad round your own home to mop your private home.
