Eufy - Omni E25

Eufy E25 or E28? I’m waiting for my pre-sale coupon to purchase the E25. They just became available in the US.

Really?! I paid for a 150 dollar off coupon in the presale, two months ago! I cannot redeem until they send codes on the 13th. Now maybe I don’t have to wait!

With toddlers that likes to spill milk and other food items on the floor, I cannot see robo mops without roller working efficiently. Why do you dislike Eufy, especially the ones with roller mop, S1 Pro, E25/28?

I’d get the T80 in your situation. The X9 has the ability to lift mop, vacuum and side brush independently. I don’t think that benefits you much if you do not have much of a rugged area. I have a X9 and E25, and I find the X9 to do a much better job mopping and require much less maintenance of the mop and dirty water tank. E25 was a louder vacuum and worked very fast. X9 while very slow in comparison it mopped with very little noise.

Eufy E25/28 gets recommended here alot. Lots of people already reviewed them of course, I owned one for a whole month and want to share a few things in my experience. Background, for comparison: I have/had Xiaomi gen 1 robot vacuum, a Roomba J7, a Dreame L10s Ultra gen 1 with tricut brush, and a Switchbot S10. I also have a Tineco upright floor mopper as well as a Sebo E3 canister vacuum. It's been a while since i bought a recent model robotic vacuum and I been really wanting to get either a Matic or Mova Z50 but it seems that they are never coming to Canada, so what the heck give Eufy E25 a try. We have a 18month baby who really likes to throw food and spill milk on the floor, so you get why i have to have a roller mop. We have about 1400 sqft of mixed carpet, hardwood, and tile surfaces on the floor that this vacuum is set up on. We have a room with dark blue carpet, and we have a white siberian husky, so any strand of hair not picked up is very visible. Now, pros: \- Very fast (it does the job quickly and goes back to chill), much quicker than the Dreame L10s OG that im used too (and obviously light years ahead of the Roomba J7) \- Seems reliable (i have not had any software or navigational glitch), the only time it got stuck was from ingesting a bottle cap that my toddler left on the carpet so you know what obstacle it might not try to avoid \- Has no issue going over the feet of this standing desk, my Dreame L10s OG used to really struggle with it and lose side brushes on it all the time. \- Picked up dog hair decently well, not every single strand of course but its more than good enough. On most people's carpet you wont notice anything, but because i have a white dog and dark blue carpet i can see some strands left behind - again i don't think even my Sebo E3 with motorized head can pick up every strand of hair on that carpet. \- The anti-tangle brush design is amazing, after a whole month, the station bag is full of dog hair, and not a single strand was stuck in the roller. I think this works better than the tricut style of roller which seems to become less effective over time. \- Noise level is acceptable. It's much quieter than the Dreame L10s OG and Roomba J7 that Im used too. You can definately use it while you are in the same room. The self emptying station is also quieter in comparison but emptying the vacuum can still be a nuisance. However, it is noticeable louder than Ecovacs X9 that i just got today (which does not have as much high pitch motor noise both when vacuuming and emptying) \- I think the app is simple and good enough, i see people complaining about it here, but I think that its simplicity is arguably a better user experience - you dont need to customize every aspect of cleaning of every room and such - it does more than enough Cons: \- I see people recommending it for mopping alot here, frankly I think it sucks. I think its roller mop implementation has some issues regarding the water scraper design, here is why: when you run the mop, it leaves alot of water behind, and does not appear to be scraping enough dirty water out of the roller to collect in dirty water tank. After mopping is finished, there is sooo little dirty water in the dirty water tank it is concerning - and thats after using water to clean the roller at the station. I suspect that most of the collected dirty water is from mop washing at the station and not from collection during mopping. This would explain why my floor is so wet from mopping, and after it dries it feels a little gritty, like stuff got left behind and then evaporated. Its not collecting dirty water at the same ratio that my old Tineco upright handheld mopper does. For comparison, I also just bought a Ecovacs X9 and used it for the first time earlier today, that thing almost collected as much water as it used. If the roller mop fails to collect dirty water back from the floor, it's not doing much better than just spinning/vibrating pads. I still think that it probably cleans a little better than the Switchbot S10 because that thing does not wet the floor enough even on wettest setting, but i have no way to tell which one is doing a better job collect dirty water because the K10s is plumbed in. \- the mop drying: I live in a relatively dry climate, and I set it to dry the mop using the standard 5 hour max time. I ran it in the evening and went to check it next morning, the roller mop is still a little damp, but only on the upper side of it. Which makes me wonder if this thing does not rotate the roller when it dries? In any case the drying is not sufficient and definitely not as thorough as the S10 \- the maintenance: the mopper mechanism, the scraper, and dirty water tank, gather more crap than you expect. I'd clean it after a week and there is quite a bit of wet grimes build up in the scraper mechanism. And because the roller doesn't dry very well, it started to smell. I eventually started taking it once a week and pour boiling hot water over it, that got rid of the smell. I also empty the dirty water tank basically almost daily, rinse it, and leave it open to dry - which stopped it from smelling too. Overall i still find it easier to use and maintain than a upright handheld mopper, because i can set it to run and go about my other business, and just remove the roller to dry and empty the dirty tank at the end, still saves a bunch of time in comparison. Overall, I think its a really good tool to have coming from a handheld upright roller mop, but the biggest complain is the roller scraper design, i dont think its doing a good job removing dirty water and has such a complicated design that is not very easy to clean. If Eufy can improve this aspect better to at least be collecting some actual dirty water, and provide the plumbing hook up like the S1 Pro, this would be perfect, I hope they can make it happen with the upcoming S2 Pro.

I’d get the Ecovacs T80. I have an Ecovacs X9 which is similar for mopping and it’s better than the Eufy E25 that I had.

I also mostly agree with your findings and wrote about it separately just few days ago. I had an E25 and it does a number of things well, it cleaned fast and covered larger area without running out of battery, I didn’t have navigational issue with it either. What I find most annoying is that it did not collect dirty water from the roller mop effectively and most of it was left on the floor to evaporate. The E25 has two plastic scrapers that are part of the onboard dirty water tank structure, they are fixed in place scrapping against the roller. On the Ecovacs X9, the scraper is a stainless steel metal piece mounted on spring pushing it against the roller. This is pretty significant design difference, I don’t think the E25/28 will ever be as effective. On the revised tank they sent you, they are probably tuning the spacing between the scraper and roller, if it’s too tight it might make the motor stuck, if it’s too loose it won’t scrape the roller effectively. In my opinion the spring loaded scraper design on the Ecovacs X9/T80 is superior. The Ecovacs X9 also does a better job cleanings its roller, keeps it free of odour because of hot water washing, and it keeps the base station mop washing tray cleaner than the Eufy E25. There is a dirty water tray on the robot next to the mop which is also removable and easier to clean in my opinion.

I don't know the price of the Mova Z60 in your country, but if it fits your budget, it's an interesting choice for both vacuuming and mopping. Otherwise, you can also choose the Eufy E25/E28, which should be less expensive and are very good. However, you should make sure you get version 2 of the dirty water tank upon delivery, or request one from Eufy, otherwise you'll experience leaks. Perhaps you should also consider the Narwal Flow. I don't know what the Flow anti-tangling brush is worth.

Eufy e25. Best I've tried on carpet and I've tried many. Btw I have a Saint Bernard!

Read my posts. Eufy E25 a good place to start

Honestly, i wouldn't buy either of these, I didn't love them, BUT.... I can confirm they will not go on sale until 7/8, and the deals have already been announced. The [e25](https://amzn.to/4lb3Ofh) is going to be $699 and the [e28](https://amzn.to/4euK9UW) $799, and those deals are the same on amazon, walmart and [eufy.com](http://eufy.com) (but those are affiliate links for Amazon, which has the best return policy, IMO). if you're curious why I wouldn't, I covered them here: https://lifehacker.com/tech/eufy-omni-e25-robot-vacuum-review. But... everyone should get what makes them happy. I have a list of all the prime day deals here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime\_day\_deals/](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime_day_deals/)

I have had a number of people respond to the review and here on this forum saying that they have the exact same problem. Eufy replaced the e25, And the second unit had... Wait for it .. The same problems. They felt strongly the e28 did not have perm problems, so They didn't replace it and wanted to continue trying to fix each individual error. We did that for about 3 weeks before it became a losing proposition for me and I couldn't realistically write about it. Because I tested the e28 first, I assumed it was just e28, in the e25 would perform differently. You understand I do this professionally correct? I'm glad you're happy with these models but, being defensive of them to the point that you suggest I don't know how to do my job is a bit much. I have tested seven or eight eufy vacuums and so I have a decent lay of the land.

I love the e25 I bought.

Good luck! I returned mine! Having had a Dreame L40 Ultra previously I did not like the eufy app. The mopping was great but did not get true edge cleaning compared to the L40’s spinning pads! Base unit was pretty noisy and I wasn’t impressed that there was no ‘mop after vac’ or ‘mop only’ option.

I had the E25 for a few days before returning…it replaced my L40 that had a front wheel blow out! I found the base unit was a lot noisier the the Dreame, mopping was comparable to the spinning disc mops but wasn’t as good on corners due to shape. At the time I bought the app didn’t allow mop only like most other brands (that may have changed 🤷🏻‍♂️) I’ve been interested in the X8/X9, just not sure on Ecovacs - reviews by the main YouTubers seem to always favour Dreame, Mova, Roborock, Narwal (flagship!)

I have the e25 and the Freo z ultra both installed in my home right now. In my experience, the Narwal clears the e25 by a long mile largely due to its superior navigation (e25 gets stuck in between furniture legs that are about the width of the robot, always trucks over furniture legs that lay low to the ground), quietness when drying wet mop (e25 emits an annoying buzzing sound while it drys), less maintenance due to lack of onboard dirty water tank, and expanded features and customization in the app. Bonus is the Narwal was purchased from Costco. For mopping, yes the Narwal requires more visits to base for mop washing due to lack of onboard water tank, but in terms of mopping effectiveness, I feel like they are neck and neck.

If mopping is your main priority, you should just look at Eufy. The spinning mops are outdated; they have only one water tank, which means they must return to the base to wash the mop. But eufy S1 Pro, E28, and E25 have two water tanks, allowing them to wash the mop while mopping, so they don’t spread dirt around. I have a UK version of E25, and I love it! It’s so much better than my previous spinning mops.

I have E25 (US version), and it cleans super solid. Honestly no different from when I mop the floor myself. Zero issues with obstacle avoidance or self-cleaning so far. Totally loving it!
