suck and rub without doing anything

For years, it has been speculated that robots will improve enough to perform certain tasks in our daily lives. Without going into detail about how robotics is changing the way factories operate, it is true that a particular type of robot has taken over our homes, courtesy of the kitchen robot. We’re talking about smart vacuum cleaners.

The brand that popularized this type of device was Roomba, but many have emerged that have managed to carve out a niche with equally useful functions but with more reasonable prices, even among high-end models. A good example is eufy, the subsidiary of Anker homeof which we have analyzed products such as security cameras.

Today’s device is different. It’s about eufy X10 Pro Omni, a high-end smart vacuum cleaner with a charging base capable of operating without physical intervention from a person. Of course, we are talking about a high-end product, and its price proves it. The 799 dollars that it costs may seem like a lot, but it is much lower than proposals like the Roomba, which costs twice as much.

Simple and compact design

Smart vacuum cleaners have a specific design because it is determined by their function, and this is non-negotiable. Overall, this model has a somewhat peculiar shape since it is not completely round, having the circular part in the rear area, which is the one that attaches to the charging base. A weak point is that the height of the vacuum cleaner is higher than other modelsand there are places in my house where you can’t put it, like under the sofa or on the bottom edge of the kitchen cabinets.

It has several sensors, such as Lidar in the upper room for navigation and Detection sensors for stairs, carpets and more be able to be at home at all times. On the front is the camera,

this is what captures the images for the AI. As in other vacuum cleaners, at the top we have the cover to remove the dust container (although it will not be used much) and at the bottom there is a round brush on one side and the central one in the shape of a cylinder.

Alvarez del Vayo

The charging base has three modules in the upper part which allows changing the water and the dust container and an interior space with two removable parts. One is a small ramp for the vacuum cleaner and another is a part to make it easier to clean the bottom of the charging base.

Impressive charging base

One of the most important parts of this vacuum cleaner is not in the vacuum cleaner itself, but in the charging base. This model It has three independent tanks which allow you to avoid having to empty or refill the vacuum cleaner each time you use it. On the left side there are two water tanks, one with clean water and the other with residual water after cleaning.

Additionally, on the right side there is a bag similar to that of old handheld vacuum cleaners. This is where dirt accumulates as the vacuum heads to the charging base and empties the compartments where it stores dirt while cleaning. Obviously, This compartment can also be emptied manuallyas in any other model.

This basis, moreover, It is capable of cleaning mops from the vacuum cleaner, as well as drying them by a slight current of air. Every two weeks it is convenient to move them and clean them manually, but it is not necessary to do this daily.

Very fine cleaning

The cleaning power of this vacuum cleaner is comparable to other high-end vacuum cleaners on the market. The until 8000 Pa which it is capable of developing to ensure effective cleaning in a single pass. But if that’s not enough, you can change the power to clean more thoroughly.

Artificial intelligence is another advantage of this model. Thanks to Real-time scene recognition is capable of analyzing up to 100 different types of elements and avoid them if you see fit. For example, it could be shoes or, if there are pets in the house, their droppings. Yes, in theory they shouldn’t be on the living room floor, but the worst part is that the vacuum cleaner doesn’t recognize it and ends up going over it.

This is done using the camera that the device has, which is responsible for capturing the images so that the AI ​​system processes them. But unlike other chamber vacuums, navigation is not done via it, but via the Lidar module which is at the top, which makes the positioning speed and spatial scanning much more precise. If a cleaning task is performed in low light conditions, the vacuum cleaner lights up an LED so that the camera’s vision is not impaired. There is one drawback that they haven’t completely fixed yet but have improved. We are referring to the problem of hair getting tangled in the suction area. However, this is something that literally happens to every model we’ve tested. Overall, this happens less than in other models thanks to a system that includes eufy and is able to minimize these tangles, although it does not completely avoid them.

rubs very well

The tests we carried out were on ceramic floors and not on wood or carpet floors. But this vacuum cleaner has a sensor that knows if it’s on a hard floor or on a rug or carpet, so you don’t get it wet with the two pentagon-shaped mops it includes. The system is called MopMaster 2.0.

These mops are capable of applying almost 1 kg of pressure to the floor., so cleaning small stains on the floor, even if they are not recent, is possible. This is one of the functions that caught our attention the most, because this power combined with the camera and artificial intelligence makes it very easy to keep the house not only swept, but also cleaned.

Application

One of the small features where we can say that this vacuum cleaner is high-end is the creation of maps. Unlike other simpler ones, there is an option that allows you to create a map in just a few minutes after a brief walk around the house. On this first trip, the vacuum does not clean or scrub because it only creates the map. Once we’ve done this in a factory andIt is possible to create another plan of another floor, and you will simply have to physically move it and tell the application which floor it is on so that it continues cleaning

.

As expected, the eufy clean app has a feature designed for voice assistants, so It is possible to connect the vacuum cleaner to Alexa and the Google Assistant. From the app, you can customize a daily cleaning or choose which rooms to clean manually.

In terms of cleaning It locates the different elements detected by artificial intelligence, marks them as icons and indicates what they are. and what percentage of success does he have? In our analysis he correctly detected the cables, slippers, cubes and feet of certain lamps, which he calls Base, because it is the foot of the lamp that he sees.

It is also possible to edit the parts from the application, rename them or divide them if the first scan was not precise enough. You can also define exclusion zones, so that the vacuum cleaner does not try to enter certain parts of the house. All cleanings can be customized, so it scrubs, vacuums, both, does it with more or less power, etc. Even It is possible to activate a scrubbing zone in the corners which slows down cleaning with water but at the same time makes it more efficient.

I buy it?

The price of this vacuum cleaner is not low. The 799 dollars it costs may seem excessive, but you have to keep in mind that competes with alternatives that can cost twice as much. This makes it a high-end product, without nuances, with a high price, which does not suit all budgets. There are things that could be improved, like a more stylized design or if the vacuum cleaner voices were in Spanish.

Of course, if you are looking for a vacuum cleaner in this category, which works well, is reliable and above all makes our daily lives more comfortable, the eufy X10 Pro Omni is an alternative to take into account.especially since eufy, a brand of the Anker group, is not an unknown company.
