This mid-tier robovac offers good vacuuming and mopping, the mapping is strong, and it copes well with pet hair. It's less good at getting up to the edges of rooms and the object avoidance can be unreliable, though.
The base station isn’t that pretty either, so you’ll need to hide it away. The setup is straightforward though, using a slick app which is easily accessed by a QR code.

Eufy X10 Pro Omni is the best robot vacuum for most people. This self-empty robot vacuum and mop checks pretty much all our boxes. The suction power is excellent, pulling all kinds of debris, fluff and hair and fluff out of our tester's carpet (although it did flick larger debris about rather than sucking it up – a problem with almost all robovacs). It's relatively quiet in all but it's very highest vacuum setting, too.
There are no other X10 models in the Eufy range, so you can't choose, for example, a version without mopping or with a more basic dock. There is a more advanced option: the Eufy Omni S1 Pro which adds improved obstacle avoidance, automatic detergent dispensing, and swaps the spinning mop pads for a roller that's fed by a constant supply of fresh water. It's significantly more expensive, though.
We also factor in the weight of each model. All special features and claims are assessed, and we even give the tool storage and owner's Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners manual a grade.
(If you want even more impressive mopping, check out the Eureka J20 at #6, which has a roller mop that supplies continuous fresh water, and siphons off the dirty stuff as it cleans.)
Of course, a robot vacuum like this doesn’t come cheap. However, if you have the money to spend and you want a tech-savvy device, this has a lot of clever features.
Price-wise, it's not cheap – although we couldn't fault the build quality or engineering, and these kinds of do-it-all docks do always come at a price. But if you have lots of hard floors and mopping is your priority, it's worth the investment.
As a robot vacuum, it was easy to use from the get-go. Testers navigated the app without a fuss and found it simple to add or edit rooms, change the power mode, schedule cleans and put on safety features such as the child lock.
Our experts also liked the drop pin function, which means you can precisely direct your vacuum to a spot for cleaning. And on that note, it mopped effectively and vacuumed well enough for light refreshes.
It didn’t lift all the dust laid on carpet, but it picked up most from hard flooring. And its brushes did a great job of trapping dirt, which meant it was excellent at dealing with biscuit crumbs and Rice Crispies.
It earned a spot in our Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning & Organizing Awards in 2021 thanks to its innovative fluffy roller brush attachment that shines a laser on the floor to spotlight the tiniest bits of invisible, often overlooked debris.
That said, the functionality worked well in our lab tests with the robot recognising barriers and using its retractable legs to move over them.
