eufy S1 with All-in-One Station, HydroJet Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, 8,000 Pa Suction, Smart Obstacle Avoidance, Multi-Level Mapping, Mop Auto-Retraction, Perfect for Pet Hair

An Impressive Cleaning Machine with Some Caveats
I’ve had the chance to put the Eufy S1 with All-in-One Station through its paces, and overall, I’m impressed with the results. This floor washing robot vacuum and mop combo promises a lot: 8,000 Pa of suction power, advanced smart obstacle avoidance, multi-level mapping, and automatic mop retraction, all of which should make keeping floors spotless easier than ever. Here’s my detailed experience and thoughts.Setup Experience: A Bumpy Start but Worth ItThe initial setup was slightly frustrating. When I first tried to pair the Eufy S1 with the app, I couldn’t find the S1 as a selectable option. It was a bit perplexing, and I spent some time troubleshooting before ultimately deciding to wait it out. A few days later, when I revisited the app, the S1 appeared as an option, and from there, everything was smooth sailing. The setup process was incredibly user-friendly, and the device connected seamlessly. So while the initial hiccup wasn’t ideal, once I got past it, I had no further issues.Design and Build: Bulky But SophisticatedThe first thing I noticed once everything was up and running was the size of the base station. It’s considerably larger than I expected, which might be something to consider if you’re tight on space. That said, the larger size does seem to come with benefits, as the base station houses the self-cleaning and emptying mechanisms, and it makes water refilling and dirty water disposal easy to manage. The design feels high-end and well-constructed, with a clean, minimalistic look that fits nicely in most homes despite its size.Cleaning Performance: Exceeds ExpectationsPerformance-wise, the Eufy S1 is truly impressive. I’ve tested various robot vacuums and mops before, and this one stands out. The vacuum’s 8,000 Pa suction is powerful enough to pick up everything from fine dust to larger debris. The mopping function is equally impressive. The floors genuinely feel clean after the S1 does its thing.The mop auto-retraction feature is a game-changer. It retracts when the vacuum detects carpeted areas, so I don’t have to worry about wet carpets. This feature has given me peace of mind, as I know the device is intelligently adjusting to different floor types in my home.Obstacle Avoidance and Navigation: Smart and EffectiveOne of the standout features is the smart obstacle avoidance. I’ve put it to the test with various obstacles, like cables, towels, and random objects on the floor, and the S1 consistently avoided them with precision. It’s reassuring to see the robot maneuver so carefully around potential hazards, and I haven’t had any incidents of it getting stuck or knocking things over. While I don’t own the S1 Pro, I understand it has a more advanced obstacle avoidance system, but honestly, the S1 does an excellent job on its own, and I can’t imagine the Pro version performing dramatically better in this regard.Comparisons and Limitations: Worth the Investment?For comparison, I’ve been using a Roomba i8+ and a Eufy RoboVac 25C. Between those two, the i8+ is far superior to the 25C in terms of navigation, cleaning power, and overall functionality. However, the Eufy S1 surpasses even the i8+ by a considerable margin. The S1’s ability to vacuum and mop simultaneously, coupled with its strong suction and advanced navigation, makes it a game-changer in the robotic cleaning world. If you’re used to older or less advanced models, the S1 will feel like a major upgrade.One of the few things I’m not thrilled about is being limited to Eufy’s proprietary floor cleaning solution. While it’s understandable from a maintenance perspective—perhaps to ensure the longevity of the mop system—it’s still a bit annoying. I prefer having the freedom to use different cleaning solutions, especially when it comes to choosing eco-friendly or budget-friendly options. Nevertheless, if you’re willing to stick with Eufy’s solution, it’s a small price to pay for such an effective cleaning device.Differences Between the S1 and S1 Pro: What Really Matters?Eufy provides a helpful chart comparing the S1 and S1 Pro, and I did a fair amount of research to understand the differences. The S1 lacks the Eco-Clean Ozone feature, the LCD Touch Control, and has slightly different obstacle avoidance technology. For me, the absence of Eco-Clean Ozone isn’t a big deal. I regularly replace the water in the tank, so I don’t feel the need for an ozone-based cleaning system. The LCD Touch Control is another feature I don’t miss—I’m more than happy to use the app for scheduling and programming. I prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach, where the robot quietly does its job without needing constant attention.The only feature I’m curious about is the obstacle avoidance difference. While I haven’t used the S1 Pro, I’d love to see if the upgraded tech really makes a noticeable difference. Even so, the S1 performs so well in my experience that I have no complaints about its ability to navigate and avoid obstacles.Final Thoughts: A Smart Investment for Clean Floor EnthusiastsOverall, the Eufy S1 All-in-One Station Floor Washing Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo has made a significant difference in how clean my floors feel. It’s efficient, powerful, and intelligently designed. If you’re someone who values pristine floors and doesn’t mind investing in a high-end robot vacuum and mop combo, the S1 is a fantastic choice. The setup process has a minor learning curve, and the size of the base station may be a consideration, but these are small trade-offs for what you get in return.In the end, if you’ve got the budget and want a high-performing robot that simplifies floor cleaning, the Eufy S1 is likely a worthwhile investment. It performs really well and is a reliable option for keeping your home looking spotless.

This is my first robotic vacuum mop combo and there is a bit of learning to do on how to navigate and setup the app, but overall, the interface is pretty user friendly. There is no in depth manual, you do have to download one online. To start off, I must say, my house is quite difficult for a robot to clean, because I have carpet and runners in various places and there’s hardwood and tiles as well. In the beginning, I was worried about using the mop function because there are carpet and runners in random spots, but it is all customizable. The other thing is furniture, if it keeps needing to dodge furniture and chairs and things on the ground, it would take longer and there are spaces that it cannot reach too.First off, you set it up and have it charged up, download the app and add the vacuum to your app, then you map your home – it basically moves around your entire home to map it out into respective rooms and areas, and it is quite accurate. In retrospect, I think if I were to map my home again, I would probably move lots of obstacles out of the way first to make it easier to map; since it would see an obstacle, back up and turn a different direction. Then you enter the map and select which areas are carpet, which areas are flooring, and if there are any no mop zones, no go zones. And the areas you highlight may or may not be exactly as you want; for instance, I found it would leave the strip near the wall undone, then I would have to increase the area on the map a bit more and it would acknowledge that, so there is a bit of testing and readjusting the map.Then you program what you want it to do, so I have just completed where I want the post meal clean up, and full house clean. After the first run, readjusting the map, the second run was pretty much perfect. The mop part works quite well, there may be a few drops of water near the station when it leaves, but no big deal (you can select if you want water level to be low medium or high, suction you can choose quiet, standard, turbo or max; and you can select how many times you want it to clean – maybe after a big party, you might want to do double. You are also able to select vacuum and mop or vac only.If there is one particular area you want it to clean, you can also use manual mode, which is pretty neat, it is like a remote control car that you control manually via arrows on the app to bring it to the location for cleaning and it will start its task.It comes with a bottle of detergent that you can hook up to the water reservoir, and the machine will determine how much dilution. You can also clean without any detergent (water only). It takes a bit of time to clean the mop, I assume it must be doing a good job, since it cleans it way longer than I would, and it takes hours for it to dry (hot air is blown on it), so you never get a wet mop musty smell. There is a dirty water reservoir that you have to periodically empty and clean inside the vac unit.The other maintenance thing you have to do is empty and change the vacuum bag; after the robot makes its rounds and collects the debris from the floor, it goes back to the station and empties its garbage into the vac bag in the base.It’ll take a bit of time to set it perfectly to your liking, but once it’s done, it will remember and the second time round it gets faster and more efficient. It is pretty smart, watching it go around is kind of fun, especially seeing it avoid obstacles and trying to find its way around. I did get a positioning error once, meaning it got lost, but it was because of extra obstacles I had in the way.Right now, for its daily clean ritual, I move the chairs to one side, remove all the obstacles, then it can do its thing. I am happy with it, it keeps the kitchen and hallways clean with a daily touch up and a weekly deep clean. And I love how well it does corners and goes right up against the wall! This is perfect for busy households, as you can set it to clean at night and you can wake up to clean floors.

This is a very easy-to-set-up robot vacuum. I was a little apprehensive going into this, thinking it would be a lot of technological stuff with a steep learning curve, but it’s basically plug-and-play.The directions are right on the outer box, and it’s just a few steps to get it unboxed, plugged in, and charging.From there, you just install the phone app, and it will be up and running in no time.It first does a run of your house to scan the layout. It can then do a sweep of the rugs and a wipe/mop of the floors. I have about a 1000 sqft main floor, and it took about an hour to do the two runs of sweep and mop.It distinguishes between carpet and hard flooring, and it adjusts itself appropriately to the task at hand (or rather underneath).It has front brushes at each corner of the robot, so it can get into square corners to clean out dust.That said, it won’t *scrub* your floors that hard, so caked on mud or other material won’t come off with this unit necessarily. You will have to remove hard stains by hand or with something more heavy duty. However, there is a “deep clean” mode that I haven’t tried yet. Maybe that will do the trick on harder stuff.From the app, you can control the various settings on the unit. You can program different cleaning schedules depending on your needs. You could do daily or set a custom schedule. You can set it for different times of day, so you could have it run while you’re at work.When done, it will self-empty the robot unit. Yet, there is also a wet unit on the robot that you can and should empty by hand. It’s pretty simple to pull out the wet filter and rinse it under the sink. They recommend letting it dry completely before re-assembly. This requires a bit of extra time. It’s not a good idea to to let dirty water sit in these units, as they can start to smell (I know from experience with another smart-vac that I have). But, it’s not a big chore to empty this after it cleans your home. Maybe a couple of minutes and then tamp it dry and let it sit for full drying.I have to stress how convenient this thing is. I can just put it on when I leave the house for work or to run errands, and I come back to a freshly swept and rinsed floor. It’s fantastic. I have a dog and he leaves hair and bits of debris around the house, and this thing is great for cleaning.Of course, this thing won’t get into tight spots like the spaces between the fridge and the counter, and it may not be able to navigate all the chair legs under you dining table. But, you can move these on occasion and allow it to do its thing.You can even use this on multiple floors, and it will map different areas.The “home base” is somewhat big, and you’ll want to have a place to store it. It needs to “landing strip” space to get in and out of the home base, so it may not fit in a small closet (unless the door opens straight out). Personally, I’ve placed it in the most inconspicuous corner of my house that I could find, as I don’t have a lot of main floor closet space.I highly recommend this product, as it works really well to keep the surfaces of your floors nice and clean on a regular basis with very little maintenance from you.I’m happy with this item.

One of the things that have really impressed about robot vacuums is how user intuitive they are and how incredibly fast it is to set them up. I have had a few and every brand has their own way of doing things but for the most part it is incredibly easy to get started. Things had an odd start with the S1, there is no manual included in the box so you must start by finding some first steps online. Nothing complicated but at this price point a small start guide would have been helpful. The app and wifi set up was great and easy. The machine had no issue mapping the house and while I have encountered more intuitive apps from other brands like Dreame it was very comparable and effective at allowing me to set up rooms and no-go zones. The app also immediately gives me the option to update the firmware, so I got that done in a couple of minutes. Overall, it is a very sleek machine, and I was excited to get it to clean my place.I encountered a challenge with my first unit. I filled up the tank loaded the cleaning fluid and got everything ready but then I got the message “clean water is insufficient” or “the water in the clean water tank in the station is insufficient”. As shown in the picture, the tank is full. I tried lower levels of water, totally full of water, but it made no difference. the clean water tank is also not sealed so if you shake it in any way, it will spill water. Then I used the App to ask for help… live text support is not available on weekends. Then I called … also not available on weekends. Then I had to look up online and only to find out that this is a common problem that affect the S1 and S1 pro. I have tried every suggestion online in Eufy’s own website and in other blogs and my machine still does not work. Somehow it also wont vacuum until the tank is full.UPDATE: Eufy followed up with me via email the next business day. They sent me a replacement unit and this time it worked out right out of the box. I had a couple of email exchanges with them and they were very prompt and courteous, I really appreciated their customer service.Performance: I have the luxury of having had a few of these units from other brands and while the Eufy S1 is definitely a great machine, it is not as intuitive as other competitors. For example, when compared to the Dreame L40 ultra, I found that the path planning of the Eufy S1 left more spots untouched. It was odd because the Eufy is a smaller and narrower machine but yet it chose not to go through some smaller thigh areas between furniture legs and the wall. Multi-floor options require more steps on the Eufy and can only store 3 maps. Lastly, the apps are very comparable, and the features are virtually the same, but the Eufy app is just so slightly less intuitive.In summary, this is a good machine but unless you get a great sale deal on it there are better options at comparable price point.
