Eufy Mach S1 Pro Review! Is This The Future Of Robot Vacuums & Mops? I Think So!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- The eufy S1 Pro codemaned MACH is designed with a unique mopping system for a robot vacuum, but that is not the only unique feature of the S1 Pro. I highlight many of the things that set this robot vacuum apart from the competition.
Current funding is going on right now through May 1st at 9:52AM EST on Kickstarter so be sure to get it while it is way less expensive!: eufy-s1-pro-floor-washing.kck...

I thank you for your support!
Thanks for the video. The only good one of the S1 pro. Backed it just yesterday based on this review! For someone like me with 90% hard floors and a kitchen that sees use everyday, mopping performance is waay more important that carpet vacuuming power. Having so many options does make decision making that much more complicated but given how everyone's situation is just a little bit different (carpet vs hard floor, kids, pets, liquid messes, hair, home layout, priorities, privacy etc.) I feel it's a good thing.
And people like you make this easier for the rest of us. Most other videos are either infomercials or straight up sponsored by the company itself. If you're just going to list all the bot's features that I can find myself on their website, why am I even watching you?!
Edited to add: I hadn't even heard of this one until I saw your review pop up. So great timing!
I'm just going to say it. Never knew about your channel. I'm a backer in the low 200's for the S1 pro and saw in the comments on KS of some people waiting on your review. This is a pretty thorough review and doesn't seem biased. You, my friend, don't have enough subs. But you made another one now. Great vid.
Thanks for sharing. Yes even eufy told me people on KS were waiting on my review. I thought they were just saying that to get me to hurry up with the review lol. Appreciate the sub! Come back and let me know how you like it!
This is the best review I've seen of the S1 Pro. The others are like commercials. The mop looks impressive, but having just used a similar style mop roller in my Tineco S5 Pro in a house with 2 small, short-haired dogs, I wonder if the Eufy would get clogged with pet hair and leave clumps of it around the house like the Tineco mop did. I can't imagine the robot being able to clean out all the pet hair I had from itself without human intervention - and mind you, I vacuum my house regularly and there was no visible pet hair on the floor before mopping with the Tineco.
That said, the mopping system does look well ahead of the ones I've seen (and used) on other robots. I use a Roborock S7 and it's excellent, but there's no way dragging around a damp pad will clean as well as a roller that's scraped clean as it rotates.
Thank you so much for the review! I am sure a lot of people asked for it and it was a lot of work. But you really help people to make a decision (especially me 😅)!
Glad it was helpful!
Another excellent review Jamie! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Many thanks for the honest review! Looks very interesting.
My pleasure!
You just got a new subscriber! Thank you for a great review. You're the only reviewer that point out those drawbacks from a customer's view. I love eufy s1 pro mopping system and the obstacle avoidance but the amount of maintenance definitely is one thing to be considered.
Thanks for the sub!
Geez break out a mop and bucket 3 times and cry about the maintains then. Not to mention vacuuming the floor first
@@jasonrico8558 yeah I don't like it. What is your problem?
@thuyvan7503 it is so silly to complain about this. It is like crying about a toilet that doesn't clean itself? Compared to an outhouse.
@@jasonrico8558 it's not really a complaint. Jamie did a review and I mentioned what I think about the product. I don't get it why you need to be triggered by my comment for something isn't your problem at all. You think it's fine then go ahead purchase one and enjoy it. I rather spend more money for something require less maintenance.
Thanks for the test, I am definitely in love with the object avoidance / navigation. Not bumping furniture while avoiding random objects is the dream. Just hope it will be reliable.
You and me both!
Your videos are incredible, thank you
Glad you like them!
Awesome review!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the video Jamie, this helps me that I should wait another year or two after my current Ecovacs T8+ broken again to get this type of robot :)!!
Glad it helped!
Great review and informative. I have one on order and after this review I am pleased with my choice. It seems that some of the cons you mentioned could be fixed with future software updates. The easiest I’m sure is include a mop only mode with no vacuum. That would be excellent for quick spill cleanups.
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely buying this to replace my Roborock. Also looks like way better value for money vs. the S8 MaxV Ultra, which only beats it in carpet pickup. For everything else though, this is better and can be had for much cheaper at $999 on Kickstarter vs. $1799 for the S8. I hope this pushes Roborock to innovate more or lower their prices. Their only advantage is in carpet cleaning now.
Make sure to use my link in the description! It helps fund reviews like this.
@@jamie.andrews I'll be sharing it with everyone I know! :)
1799$ for the watertank version is a lot. In germany its about 1399€ and with some cashback etc. you can easily match 1300€ and lower. The S1 is about 930€.
The Qrevo MaxV 800€. X40 Ultra Complete 1400€.
The decision is more difficult. :)
Best robot vacuum channel on youtube!!
Waiting patiently for mine. I hope the eufy team tackles some of the issues you pointed out
great review
Ahhh, get yourself a beer and enjoy it! Cheers!
Thanks for the support! I will!
Superb review
Thank you 🙂
Looks great, might hold out for the next version but looks great
This model looks really good!
Thanks for the review. Are you going to cover the qrevo maxv? Do you know when the video might be published?
Yea that should be out in several weeks.
Excellent review. Wish it had hot wash mop cleaning like roborock
Thank you so much for your honest review!! I feel nervous spending so much on a new product. We currently only have an iLife v3 bump around that I used while I am doing dishes just to keep up with the pet hair. But with 2 kids and both cats and dogs, excellent obstacle avoidance is a must for me to upgrade to a high priced robot. This looks like it will be a game changer for me. We have mostly hard floors with only a few area rugs.
Living on a farm with dirt and mud in and out of the mudroom/kitchen everyday the mop feature has me sold. I can’t wait for this thing to help me!
You might think about removing your pledge, waiting for multiple and proper reviews. Never put a pledge if you cannot afford the disappointment, I mean, it sounds weird to be nervous about something not mandatory...
@@Adesfire74 Eufy is giving a 30-day return policy with the S1 Pro even if you back it on Kickstarter, so there's really nothing to lose by backing it and locking in the much lower price vs. retail which is why I backed it. If I don't like it I'll definitely be sending it back for a refund.
@@Adesfire74 well, maybe nervous was the wrong word, but cautious. But Eufy isn’t an unknown brand or really a gamble. They have produced plenty of quality products. But thanks for your concern.
@@Brendon471 My words, exactly
You are the king of Vacuum reviews! Do you know if this has a water/drainage hookup kit so I don’t have to fill and empty the water? That’s the main reason I went with the Dreame X30 because I was able to hook it up to my sink water and drain line.
No hookups on this one. Maybe the next model.
It‘s coming. They are still testing.
Great video!! Love it.
Would it be possible to test and review the mattress vacuum?
Agree ! The bx7 pro
@@alondinbar6193 Aha~~ Thanks for your comment. YEP!!
First as usual, great job frogman!
I do not have eufy s1 option in Australia at this point, could you tell me what is the best option for having best performance for both vaccum and mopping robot , if Eufy S1 I will wait until it comes here, but would love to know your thoughts on that as I am confused watching all of your reviews and others, thanks
This is such a very cool robot!!! Roborock needs to see this!!!
Roborock is falling behind other companies.
Wow looks very promising and with your testing reputation I’m so tempted to replace my Ecovacs’s X2 Omni . But not sure how I’m going to deal with the X2 if I order this S1 Pro.
Question about the LEDs at the docking station, can you turn them off at night?
They turn off after just a bit of time.
Thanks for a thorough and comprehensive review.
I just received my S1 Pro and it emits a clonking sound when going straight - both I vacuum and vacuum + mop mode. Is that something you have encountered during your time testing the S1 Pro?
No. Nothing like that.
Thanks, I’ll consult with Eufy then
Can you do the Eufy X10 Omni vs the Mach S1
Impressive!
@jamie.andrews Another excellent review. Consumer Reports should work for YOU! You mentioned you had the S1 Pro for a few months? Eufy said on the Kickstarter discussion that they had made improvements to the vacuum function based on other reviews that showed below average vacuum performance on carpet. Do you know if you had one of the "revised" units with the change already, or was it the review unit before they did the "upgrade" ? Thank you again for your thorough reviews!
As far as I know mine is the final product. They worked with beta testers last fall so that was before me. They are aware of what I said in my review and have not told me that I have those issues due to a preproduction model.
@@jamie.andrews Thank you.
New subscriber here! I like your review style and throurough, unbiased information. My consern with all robot vacuums/ mop combinations is that they might damage hardwood floors. I have a 2500 sq foot home that is all hardwood except for tile in bathrooms. (wood plus some area rugs) Seems like the mop roller in the Mach s1 Pro wouldn't leave much water on the floor as spinning pads or flat pads. Is the floor pretty dry after it passes? No one ever mentions that in these robot reviews. Water is a hardwood floor's worst enemy.
It applies more water than most spinning or vibrating mops, however the water coverage is even.
Happy that I backed this. Can't have good cleaning without good navigation. Coming from the Deebot X2 Omni, this will 100% be better.
Enjoy it
Will there be a video about the ecovacs t30 omni? I would be very interested
No plans atm.
Will you review the Yeedi M12 Pro+ soon? Has hot water washing, extendable mop arm for under $800
It is on my list.
Thanks for the review. I was an early backer for this vacuum but I think the residual water in the onboard dirty water bin, plus the filter cleaning is going to be a dealbreaker for me. I saw it briefly mentioned on a few other reviews, but yours went more in depth also showing the amount of dirt accumulated on the dock that would need to be cleaned. On what on paper and in every other test looks like an excellent vacuum, it's unfortunate the amount of additional maintenance the self-cleaning roller mop would incur. I'll probably hold out for a gen 2 product that solves the dirt issue and residual water issue as a result. Though, I do wonder if Eufy could have put a set of UV sterilization lights in the dirty water bin to prevent bacteria growth and prevent that growing funk odor.
Other UA-cam creators are paid for their video. I never accept money and my reviews are my own. This cost me financially as UA-cam does not pay much at all, but for me it is about doing the right thing.
@@jamie.andrews Yup, finding a good video of the S1 pro has been tough because almost every single one spouts the exact same marketing spiels, using stock footage of the vacuums mopping up liquids, and sending the vacuums to mop up what appeared to be ketchup and milk (in every single review, what's the chances huh?). I thoroughly appreciate your reviews and the time you put into them.
@@0terminater0 Yea those reviews are hard to stomach. If you hear the words ty for x company for partnering with me on the video it is a sign to click off imo.
If you think about it, it’s really not much maintenance. I remember seeing a comment from Eufy on their Kickstarter where they explained that the ozonated water prevents odors from building up quickly by sterilizing the clean water that it uses to constantly clean the mop. I doubt it’ll fully prevent bacteria from growing/producing smells, but it should make it take longer for that to happen. And with a regular mopping schedule, that tiny bit of residual water left in the tank should get flushed out before there’s any chance for new bacteria to grow and start to smell. That leaves just the dirty tank mesh screen as the only thing that will need occasional cleaning, and all that requires is a quick rinse.
Compare that to the S8 MaxV Ultra review where it has added maintenance for its new rotating edge mop and new extending arm brush-both got so tangled with hair that they stopped spinning and the hair was shown to be quite difficult to remove. That’s on top of the hair tangles it got on the axles for both of its main brush bars which Jamie also said was difficult to remove. So that’s four total areas that will require frequent, time consuming maintenance.
To me that sounds like much more hassle than simply rinsing a mesh screen every once in a while.
Hi Jamie, I’ve just backed this project on KS via your link in the description. I’m currently using an Q Revo. Great product, but the obstacle avoidance is lacking at chair legs that aren’t vertical 😂.
Will the final product come with eufy logos or still the Mach brand?
Thanks for the support! It should look just like mine with Mach branding.
@@jamie.andrews I’ve recieved the unit, with the new Eufy branding on both the robot itself as the uniclean dock
Awesome video! Regardless how slick the dock looks, I wish they also made available an auto-fill auto-drain dock like Roborock’s last model. Then this robot would’ve been a no brainer.
I saw on one of the campaign comment that they working on it. But i dont think to count it.
Thanks for the detailed and honest review! At the current Kickstarter price of $999 do you believe it is a better value than Roborock's current offerings in regards to the price to performance ratio?
At $999 there is a lot ofvalue here. Which Roborock model are you referring to?
@@jamie.andrews The roborock S7 Max Ultra Robot which is around the same price or even the brand new Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra at almost double the price
@@ROC1337 This has a good bit more features than the S7 max ultra and much better obstacle avoidance. The S7 Max has better vacuum performance.
Really good test video, many thanks for that. The residual water in the dirty water tank seems to be a problem. You must have tested something like this beforehand at eufy. It seems as if the Eufy S1 Pro is something like a beta version, so that at some point a final product, the S2, can be brought out thanks to all the Kickstarter buyers and their experiences. Would you personally still prefer the Eufy s1 Pro or the Roborock Q Revo MaxV?
I have not tested the Qrevo MaxV just yet. It is next but still in the box. Might be worth the wait.
Ok thanks 😊
Comparison with Eufy X10 OMNI?
Best review I've seen on this. The rest might as well be from Eufy employees as they don't mention hardly any cons at all.
Great review! Everyone is sleeping on the Ozone functionality, though. I've been enhancing my robot floor cleaners with an ozone generator for years, so I was thrilled to see this one comes with a built-in generator. I immediately pledged to the Kickstarter campaign and I'm eager to see how much ozone (measured in parts per million, or PPM) can actually produce.
Thanks for sharing!
I've done the same and share your sentiments. I just hope at some point you can specify how often it returns to refill since the half life of ozone is so short, or that Eufy has already accounted for that.
What can you say about cleaning tiles that have light grout? Which type of mop does this job better? I have a Roborock S7 Max and it doesn’t clean grout at all. Because of this, I was thinking to upgrade to a robot with a spinning mop, but now with this new type of mop, is it even better to clean grout?
If you are taking about grout lines like mine that are lower than the tile there is no robot capable of cleaning them. The mops can't drop down into grout. Even this one with a roller did not drop down into grout. For my grout spot cleaning I use a Dreame H12 Pro and let it spin the mop over the grout and it works, but is a long process. The best answer for now is a grout brush and some vinegar.
Thanks for the review! Do you think this is worth the extra cost over the Q Revo?
The old Qrevo? This has better obstacle avoidance and detergent injection so if those are important features I would say so.
@@jamie.andrewsyeah the regular Q Revo. I was going to snag it for $700 but the price just went up again, so I’m thinking it may be worth waiting for the S1 Pro for $230 more. Again thanks for your real review! All the others are just ads
@@Tom-fn8xc Keep in mind the Kickstarter ends early on the 1st. Link is in the description.
Nice review!
Most of other UA-camrs are just informercial they are doing, when they get the the products for free.
I purchase two of these on kickstarter, I don’t have any carpet in my house so
Hopefully it works fine.
I hate infomercials. They end up costing everyone and informing no one.
Does the mop lift on carpet? I didn’t notice you mentioned that.
He mentions it at 12:42. It lifts up noticeably faster than other mop pads seem to.
Is it probably that they will improve before mass production the dirty water maintenance, corner cleaning and vacuum capabilities?
I kinda doubt it. It will have to be an S2 revision.
@@jamie.andrews but they said they changed to vacuum rollers on update
Where you will put it on scale between s7 maxi ultra and s8 maxv ultra in mop,vacuum?
It has more features that the S7 Maxv and less than the S8 MaxV. Somewhere in between.
Great review but the constant mention of wauder drove me nuts.
I think the bumper is redundant now. Looking forward to next versions dropping it and adding more battery/bin size/water storage.
I really hope you review the new Dreametech X40!
I will in late June.
These super high end, fancy machines are great and all but what if your house is mainly carpet? I don’t want or need to pay extra for all the extra features relating to mopping. I would like a machine that has all the features as far as object avoidance, navigation, etc but have the machine geared towards just vacuuming. Best machine all around for vacuuming. I hope that makes sense. What would your recommendation be?
That is sadly tough because good object avoidance and high end normally go hand in hand. The Roborock S8 Plus might suit your needs.
@@jamie.andrews well I don’t mind paying for a good machine just don’t need to pay extra for the mopping features
@@TylerHunt556 I am not aware of a robot without a mop that also has good object avoidance. I would say wait for my Roborock QRevo review.
@@jamie.andrews thank you
The review missed some points like speed/effectiveness, navigation in general, and sticky/white glove test after mopping.
Maybe in the future. ;)
Thx for the review!
I will go with X40 Master or later on with the Roborock S20.
Thanks for the feedback. I try to stay consistent yet improve. The X40 review should be out in June.
If you had to decide between this one and the S8 MaxV ultra??
This one right now is half the price so that makes the S8 MaxV a hard sell, however I don't think they directly compete. The S8 MaxV has better carpet cleaning ability, decent mopping and several additional features not found on the S1 Pro. If those features don't mean much to a buyer than the S1 right now is a great price and hard to beat.
What I want to know is there a way for it to clean multiple floor levels? Obviously one would have to carry it from the main floor to the other floors, but will it do that?
Yes it support multiple levels. I think up to 4.
@@jamie.andrews awesome! Thank you very much
Curious why would Eufy put this product in Kickstarter instead of their regular page? Is kickstarter a better marketing strategy for them? Against the competition?
That is an excellent question. I think it serves to drum up interest and also hype.
Do you feel that the S1 at $999 is worth $300 more than the eufy X10 for $699 (I have a $100 off voucher)?
It does everything better and adds detergent injection. The only downside is more maintenance. If you have mostly carpet the S1 does not make much sense.
That does look pretty sleek at night however I do hope they have an option to turn all those lights off.
They do turn off once it goes to sleep.
what icon does it give to that poop
Does it handle mapping of multiple floors?
Yes up to 4 floors
It looks good but my big issue with it is how tall and thin the dock is. To my eyes that makes it more intrusive than the shorter and squatter docks such as the Eufy X10, Roborock s8 MaxV Ultra or upcoming Dreame X40. A shorter dock gives more options to tuck it under a shelf/table/worktop etc and the latest Roborock & Dreame will be offering the option of even shorter fully plumbed docks which gives even more options for tucking the dock out of the way.
Good point. I liked it being tall so I don't have to bend over which could also be an issue for elderly folks.
The tall profile is actually a feature for me, it means we don't have to bend over when emptying the tanks or filling them up. The buttons for the dock are also more accessible this way. Plus the only spot I have in my house for a dock is kind of narrow so I was actually worried about how to fit a standard dock in. This taller + slimmer profile fixes that issue.
@@sugarcandy243Same here, the dock is one of the reasons I like the S1 so much.
I also really like the top mounted buttons to start a cleaning. As someone with bad ADD, I often will forget to send my Q Revo out after my kitchen gets messy since I have to go look for my phone, try not to get distracted by other notifications, open the Roborock app, and start a cleaning. Sounds simple enough, but I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve gotten distracted and never sent it out to clean.
Top mounted buttons on the base fix this for me since I can just walk over and press the start button. No apps or phone to fiddle with. This is a me problem for sure, but I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s like this.
@@Brendon471 You're definitely not alone. I'm not diagnosed or anything but I have noticed when I pick up my phone to do something specific, I generally never get around to doing it. There are just so many other notifications vying for your attention LOL.
I prefer using the Google home app via voice or actually pressing a button or something. My phone is simply too distracting. And this when I don't do social media at all. UA-cam is as social as I get!
@@sugarcandy243 Glad it's not just me lol. Speaking of voice assistants, the S1 should be getting that capability soon! I remember reading one of the comments from Eufy on their Kickstarter and they said that matter support will be added in an upcoming software update. Totally get you on the social media side of things, I try to stay away from them too.
And I gotta say... I never thought I'd be this excited to get a robot vacuum! This review and the one from Forbes were enough to completely sell me on the S1. So glad I backed this instead of going for the S8 MaxV Ultra.
Would you pick this over the X40 or S8 MaxV?
I have not tested the X40 yet so it is hard to comment on that one. The S8 MaxV has more features, but atm also cost a good bit more. You would have to decide if you want to spend almost double for the features on the S8 MaxV like edge cleaning, voice assistant, remote viewing and hot water mop washing. Some people also prefer a refillable detergent tank like on the S8 MaxV.
@@jamie.andrews Do you think those extra features are worth the premium? Also is the S1 Pro in your opinion better than other $1000 robots from Roborock and Dreame?
thank you for your review, us fans from Reddit really appreciate it!
Maybe the S8 MaxV, but I wouldn't recommend the X40. I returned mine. Mapping failed 5 times. I had to prevent any sunlight from shining in the house, after that the mapping was successfully completed. Went for a meal outside, robot stuck at "obstacle". That obstacle was my damn wall... haven't seen worse mapping / navigation in years.
@@peterjochem That is a shame.
Which robot vacuum is best for mopping?
In my tests either this one or the Narwal Freo X
Is anyone gonna review the Roborock that drains and fills the water on its own? That’s the one that is most exciting I might have to put a review up of it when I get mine
If I had a place to hook it up I would.
@@jamie.andrewsman I wish! I haven’t seen a review of it anywhere I’m praying it’s everything I want it to be!
I want to buy my first robot vacuum cleaner soon, buth the choices are becoming increasingly difficult for me😢😢 Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, Dreame X40 Ultra or this Eufy S1 Pro
- Roborock is ridiculously expensive and has some software bugs, buth vacuuming and mopping corners looks good. Software looks good and parts are readily available.
- Dreame has about the same functions and also has extra the function that can cut hairs. Could be useful for my home situation.
- Eufy lowest suction power, this is also visible during the tests. Corners are not vacuumed properly and edge mopping is also not good. Has very good object recognition that can be very useful and Mopping harder and better on the floor? Especially when mopping and cleaning the brush at the same time. As Jamie also says, dirt doesn't go through your house during the mopping.
My house consists of laminate, 1 carpet ~ 3,50m² and straight skirting boards against the wall. Sleek, simple and well tidy at home. Does anyone have any advice as to which brand would be best for me? Vacuuming and mopping are of course important.
(And Jamie another good review! Thanks❤)
Can I add the Qrevo MaxV to your list? I should have that review out in May and it might just be the sweet spot for you with price and performance.
@@jamie.andrews Unfortunately, it is left off my list because of the missing arm that cannot vacuum corners properly.
I appreciate that you read this reaction, think for me and respond. Very cool of you!
Go with the S1 to lock in the $999 Kickstarter price and if you don’t like it, return it. Eufy has said they’ll honor their 30 day return policy even for Kickstarter backers, so you really have nothing to lose other than saving yourself a ton of money over retail in the event that you do end up liking it.
One thing that you also shouldn’t overlook when picking your first robovac is their level of autonomy and how much pre-cleaning they require. This is something I didn’t even think about when getting my Roborock Q Revo, which gets tangled in cables and socks all the time. It’s really annoying having to go find and rescue it since the whole point of these bots is to do your daily cleaning with as little interaction from you as possible. This is where the S1 shines since its obstacle avoidance is best in class. You can truly set it and forget it, never having to worry about stray cables, socks, or other things around your house.
That also somewhat addresses your suction power concern as you can just set it on a schedule to do a double pass in the dirtiest rooms. With its high level of autonomy, it’ll do that double pass without you even noticing or thinking about it since it will never get itself stuck anywhere. All you’ll notice is clean floors.
Hopefully this helps a bit with your decision making! :)
Is the auto drying mop really 55c?
I don't think I measured this one. It is effective though.
How does a person find out about stuff like this to take advantage of the early bird specials? Apparently their campaign funding started in March
If you are interested in a particular manufacture follow their Reddit pages. New models and specials will show up there.
How does it compare to the X10 Pro?
This is a step up from the X10 Pro in most every way.
How is this compared to Roborock Q Revo ?
I have a Q Revo (not the new one). It cleans decently well with only average vacuum performance, decent mopping ability, and truly horrible obstacle avoidance. Mine gets caught up in cables all the time and frequently needs rescuing. If you don't mind pre-cleaning before it cleans then you'd like it, but this is significantly better at basically everything the Q Revo does. The new Q Revo at least improves on the suction and has slightly improved mopping, but it has the same setup for obstacle avoidance so I expect that to be just as bad as on the first one. Basically, if you want a robot vacuum that you can set and forget, the Q Revo is not that.
It does not really compare honestly. You want to compare the Eufy X10 Pro to the Qrevo. The S1 is not only more expensive, but it focuses on mopping over carpet and the Qrevo does both quite well. Object avoidance is another story though.
@@jamie.andrews Thanks for clearing it up! Obstacle avoidance is important. I will save money and get the S8 Max V when they fix their issues. I am not satisfied with this Eufy S1.
How is this with dog hair compared to the Dreame X30/X40?
Not real sure as I don't have dogs and I tend to not test with fake hair because it is just not the same.
@@jamie.andrews Thank you for the reply. :)
Is "E11 rated filter" different than a HEPA filter?
Yes. It is less than HEPA. Most robot vacuums are E11. HEPA would reduce airflow too much.
@@jamie.andrews 🤔 hmmmm. I'm pretty sure my RoboRock S5 has a true HEPA filter. It is a shame the Eufy doesn't because this looks to be a pretty good robot vacuum/mop combo otherwise.
@@LokiDaFerret All Roborock filters are E11 as well. us.roborock.com/products/washable-filter-2x-for-s6-series-s5-series-s4-series-and-e-series
@@jamie.andrews WHAAAAT!!?? 😁 It's no wonder I can't breathe in here.
Jamie, backers on KS are reporting that the S1 Pro is very loud when washing the mop. Can you comment?
I did not think so.
Looks cool. But as a first generation model it will probably have tons of flaws.. thus far, thinking of updating my iRobot j7+ to the dreame x40
I'll have the X40 review out in June.
@@jamie.andrews awesome! Your reviews helped. You def convinced me not to buy the roborock s8 maxv ultra.
Dreame makes some very good robots, but their penchant for releasing one every three months at premium pricing is getting tired.
Can this be plumbed into the water line?
No, not at this time. I think there might be plans to do that in the future though.
@@jamie.andrews do you see any ports on the base that would make it feasible? Torn between this or waiting for the next model.
@@youtubeuser8426 no
Unfortunatelly not a word on floor to ceiling mirrors and how the robot fares with that. Absolutely no one does that. And that topic is nonexistent for producers either. I have quite a few of them and am still looking for a self cleaning vacuum-mop robot which can deal with that and effectively clean my home. I had dreame l10s ultra and roborock q revo at home, and they where terribly useless and were returned. Any advice, except for getting rid of mirrors? ;)
What happens with your bots and floor to ceiling windows? Does putting no-go zone lines in front of them not help?
I would sound like a broken record because all robots with lidar have this issue with floor mirrors as you stated. The only ones the don't are the new Roborock S8 MaxV and QRevo MaxV. I mentioned this in the review of the S8 MaxV that I put out right before this video.
Hmmm, i've had one of the very first robots with lidar for quite a few years and it didn't have any issues with mirrors and didn't try to avoid curtains which i really liked too😊
Unfortunatelly it didn't mop and i wanted an upgrade
Nonetheless i think i'll give a try to q revo maxV if you say so 😅@@jamie.andrews
This! I think I'm switching from robo Rock after many years
I think others are too.
I would switch to the Eufy X10. This thing seems to have too many compromises. The poor edge coverage and the less than ideal vacuuming performance in particular. I would get the X10 even if they were the same price. But the fact that this is more expensive doesn't sit well with me.
@@mohamedahmed1023Eh, the only additional maintenance is mostly just the mesh screen for the dirty water tank. That will only need a quick rinse every once in a while. Vacuum performance on carpet is average, but for everything else this looks as good or better than other flagship bots. Hard floor vacuuming is very good and mopping is best in class, as is obstacle avoidance. X10 really only beats it on price.
@@mohamedahmed1023 To note I find this to have better vacuum performance over the X10.
@@Brendon471 X10 price is a lot lower and has better edge coverage. The S1 needs to justify the premium. So although the S1 has better mopping performance, it has worse coverage. So I'd say they're even in mopping. Also, other reviews showed the S1 is quite a bit worse in vacuuming.
It’s an promising direction for robot mops. The extra maintenance for the dirty water mechanisms on the robot is a non-starter, though. The overall guiding principle for new robot features should be less frequent work, not more. Especially mucky work. Looking forward to future iterations of this tech that can resolve these pain points.
Can't say I disagree. What needs to happen is a complate drain of the onboard dirty water tank and then a rinse. I'm not sure how to get around not cleaning a filter though. It seems if a robot is going to clean itself while mopping the process of cleaning the filter moves from the dock to the robot.
To be fair, they all require some maintenance. Just look at Jamie’s S8 MaxV Ultra review where he showed it needing additional hair removal from the new extending side arm (which stops rotating when tangled) and the new rotating edge mop which also gets tangled. That’s on top of the two vacuum rollers, which both got hair tangled in them that was difficult to remove from the axles.
That is way, way more time consuming and tedious than just a simple rinse of the dirty tank mesh screen that the S1 has. I’d also guess that with daily scheduled cleaning, the dirty water tank will get flushed out well before any standing water in the tank starts to smell.
I wouldn’t be surprised if future bots integrate a mesh cleaning system along with a dirty water tank drying system to solve both of these problems. I’m guessing we’ll see a similar style roller mop in the Roborock S9 next year, so it’ll be very interesting to see how other companies improve on this going forward.
@@Brendon471 Good analysis for the comparison.
@@jamie.andrews Thank you! Seems like many people are overthinking how much extra maintenance there really is with the S1. Question regarding the ozonated water-did you notice that preventing noticeable smell buildup in either of the dirty water tanks (on the bot or base) compared to the dirty water tank on other bot's bases?
The small pipes will be a hassle to clean when clogged by dirty water.
I missed the Kickstarter and I'm kicking myself.
So sorry
@@jamie.andrews Hey Jamie, just a suggestion but you might want to make a pinned comment about this somewhere. Seems like many are unaware that they can still get the Kickstarter pricing for a limited time.
For some reason it won’t post my comment when I include Eufy’s directions here, so I’ve posted it as an entirely separate comment on the video (sort as new and look for my comment). Hopefully this helps and you're able to get the Kickstarter pricing. :)
@@Brendon471 I'll reach out to Eufy and confirm. Thanks for sharing.
@@jamie.andrewsYou don’t need to reach out even, they have it publicly on their Kickstarter updates.
Looks great but it really needs bigger tanks
Are you talking about the dock tanks or the tanks in the robot?
@@jamie.andrews Doc tanks, the capacity is on the low side. Or have the ability like my Dreame 30 to have it hooked up to house plumbing. That works really well!
@@LaszloBagi The clean water tank is fairly average in size it is the dirty water tank that is below average, however I feel this does not matter at all since you should really be cleaning out that tank atleast every day or 2 or it will stink so I never fill mine past 1000ml.
Just another perspective.
@@jamie.andrews I hear you, however needed to clean it every 1-2 days is backwards to my Dreame 30 which is hooked up water and a waste line.
@@LaszloBagi Oh yea if you hook it up to a water line yea, but then water tanks become irrelevant.
The thing doesn't even extend the spinning brushes or the mop so the corners are not gonna get cleaned. This robot is already obsolete.
Dreame x40 ultra is still better. But this still seems better than most all around.
Can someone explain to me the appeal of this over the Eufy X10? It seems like the X10 is the better all- rounder. Especially given the cheaper price. Heck, based on what I'm seeing here, I'd get the X10 if the S1 were the same price.
I should do a comparison video. The good news is there a choices now and people can decide what they want.
The X10 lacks detergent injection, self cleaning mop that removes dirty water while mopping, it also has a much worse roller brush that is prone to get hair tangled on it. Also the vacuum performance is a good bit worse.
The only positive things for the X10 are price and a bit less maintence.
Hope this helps some.
@@jamie.andrews Ahh! I forgot about the hair tangles! Thanks for flagging that. Though the S1 having better vacuum performance was a surprise. Is that on hard surfaces, rugs, or both?
@@mohamedahmed1023 Hard surfaces a good bit better. Carpet is marginally better.
those are some big millimeters
Roller brushs are superior when it comes to mopping, i have xiomi vortexwave which mops with same logic and it beats the hell out of roborock s7maxv
eh, I’ll still go for the X10 omni over this.
Now that you used both, please address the elephant in the room, s1pro vs s8 maxv ultra.
If I get enough requests I may do a comparison video, but personally I feel they are way too different for a sir by side comparison. I have reviewed both on my channel and they are so very different with features and price I would say it would come down to budget and if someone want to pay for the extra features of the S8 MaxV.
Not a Roborock beater then.
great review, but personally i don't trust any Eufy/Anker product with a camera on it and internet connection
That carpet performance makes it a 100% no go for me.
Not sure why it is not better.
It should ha0ve a0 remote also you should be able to put what ever you won't to smell goid for cleaning I don't won't to keep buy your product to clean that sucks
All these maintenance items make this thing a loser. Bag and proprietary detergent just reduces the "maintenance free" thing robot vacuums are trying to go through
Use whatever detergent you want. Plenty on the market meant specifically for machine mops. Just need one that doesn't foam up.
But yeah... all robo vacs have various parts to nickel and dime you. Sacrificing one convenience for another
Yea I figured several people could be turned off by extra maintenance which is a tradeoff for having a dirty water tank on the robot that removes dirty water from your floors. As always there is a tradeoff.
X10 Pro Omni seems better
Except for price and maintenance. It doesn't clean as well as this does.
Different then other vacuums huh?
Design: Check, this is way different.
Front mounted lidar system? heard that before.
Camera and structured light sensors? HEARD that before
Large front bumper? HEARD THAT BEFORE
Large water tank? SEEN THAT BEFORE
Top held by magnets? SEEN THAT BEFORE!
Code for the manual? SEEN THAT BEFORE
Small dust bin? SEEN THAT BEFORE
Small filter? SEEN THAT BEFORE
Power switch and Wi-Fi indicator? WE'VE ALL SEEN THAT BEFORE
All rubber roller brush? WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE! (I'm pretty sure iRobot came up the all rubber roller trend a while ago)
Large battery? WEVE SEEN THAT BEFORE!
The mop? Pretty unique actually! But we have other mopping options as well.
Removable water mesh filter? WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE!
Included cleaning brush? CANT EVEN COUNT THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE!
Water cleaning? DANG that's pretty unique right? WRONG WEVE SEEN THAT BEFORE
Clean and dirty water tank built into the base? WE HAVE SEEN THAT ALREADY!
I'm not even gonna finish because of how many things i could be covering
You kinda cherry picked the things that were the same as other robots lol.
It has a ozone system for the water tank.
It has a self cleaning roller mop that lifts 12mm with a self cleaning dock. Pretty sure that is a first. The front mounted lidar that is able to see a whole 220 degrees is the first I have seen with that reach and being front mounted.
The point is it is very different from many of the robots on the market today.
@@jamie.andrews Thats very cool! I would love to A: Buy a robot vacuum cleaner without 360 degrees of lidar like pretty much every other robo vac with lidar, and B: Be more lazy by having ozone cleaning (Which will break at some point of the docks lifetime) system for my water tank instead of cleaning it myself! And a mop that only lifts 12mm? I thought the roborock s8 MaxV raised 20mm. Huh thats weird.
@@HighIQCayden goodness.
Wow... Someone didn't slept well last night.
The review was excellent pointing out the features of the robot. The solid implementation of the front mounted LiDAR uniquely allows this robot to actually detect surface level furniture which top mounted LiDAR cannot; even if equipped with front mounted cameras and structured light. This is unique robot with the complete package combined.
Add a flexi arm for the front brush, liftable vacuum brush roller, and self cleaning/flush of the dirty water tank and screen, improved carpet pickup (may be brush related), and this will be a superb model. Those are just about all existing features in the Industry so maybe next years model.
