3. Eufy X10

The Eufy X10 offers a wide array of features at an affordable cost. It does everything you could expect a robot vacuum or mop to do, all at a fair price.

This model can handle cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, including sweeping, mopping and dusting. The base station needs slightly more space than other models, requiring 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in the front.

Its smart navigation technology is able to track the arrangement of your home, while storing and utilizing the data in its internal memory without ever having to transfer it to the cloud or any other external source. The X10 can keep track of the layout of rooms with iPath and AI See. It can optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also extremely efficient, allowing it to detect and avoid dangers such as power cords. It can be programmed to clean and replenish the battery automatically which is a great feature. However, I discovered that the X10 could get stuck on some more thick carpets, which can cause it to crash loudly over them and sometimes pushing its front brush into the rugs.

Overall it's a top-quality robot floor cleaner vacuum and mop, but it's disappointing due to a confusing application. Unlike the iRobot app that guides you throughout the process of setting up your robot and teaches you how to use it however, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure it out on your own. It's still a great alternative, though, and offers plenty of options for customization for those looking to make the most out of its capabilities.
