Who it’s for:
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni is a seriously clutch find for shoppers who prioritize a “set it and forget it” robot vacuum experience and are willing to pay more than $500 — but not toe the $1,000 mark — for that peace of mind. The hands-off experience here includes automatic avoidance of small obstacles like cords and a self-washing and drying mopping pad system. The fanciest-ever Eufy vac offers both these features for as low as $679.99 on sale.
Between the large water tank and a battery life that outruns (sometimes even doubles) many pricier competitors, the X10 Pro Omni is a smart choice for large homes with multiple stories. You can squeeze hours of cleaning out of the X10 Pro without it returning to the dock to refill or recharge. A substantial chunk of that square footage would ideally be hard floors, as this Eufy’s dual pressurized mopping pad system doesn’t deserve to collect dust (cleaning pun definitely intended).
Why we picked this:
This is the first time any Eufy robot vacuum’s self-emptying dock can also self-refill the bot’s water tank and self-wash and dry the mop pads. The self-washing and drying aspect especially is a bullet point that’s rarely seen in the sub-$1,000 price range — the other robot vacuums that debuted at CES 2024 are evidence of that. Even iRobot’s $1,399 Roomba Combo j9+ doesn’t do that.
As impressive as the all-in-one station is, the X10 Pro Omni’s cleaning proficiency is also noteworthy. In terms of suction power, 8,000 Pa is quite high not just in this price range, but in general. The power proved itself in my testing, successfully removing matted-down cat hair from a low-pile rug and spilled rice from a medium-pile rug and surrounding hardwood flooring, including against the wall. During mopping, the spinning mopping pads were able to wipe up spilled wine that had been drying for several hours, as well as visibly remove dusty cat paw prints near the litter box.
The presence of small obstacle avoidance seals the X10 Pro Omni’s bang for your buck status. It’s another feature rarely seen at this price point. I cherish this feature a little extra, as there’s bound to be a phone charger, catnip mouse, or blanket tufts on my floor at any given moment. Aside from a blip involving a bath mat mistaken for a towel (and an annoying quirk in the Eufy app that doesn’t let you dismiss an incorrectly-pinged obstacle), the X10 Pro Omni accurately identified and avoided most cords and socks in my home.
