Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E25 Review

After spending some quality time with the eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E25 in my home, I can confidently say it punches well above its weight. And that goes nearly double if you can catch it on sale. This is one of those all-in-one cleaning systems that leans hard into convenience, automating nearly everything from vacuuming and mopping to emptying the bin and drying the mop. It’s not perfect, but for many households, it will be more than enough.

Design: Aesthetic Meets Practicality

Unlike most robot vacuums with their perfect circle design, the E25’s robot has a bit of a squared-off shape with rounded corners. Why does that matter? It actually gives it better edge coverage than traditional round vacs.

With powerful suction, real-time mop cleaning, and a fully automated base station, the eufy Omni E25 delivers high-end performance that rivals pricier bots, especially when you catch it on sale.

It looks sleek thanks to the glossy finish, though I’ll warn you now: that gloss picks up dust and hair pretty quickly, especially in homes with pets. You might find yourself wiping it down more often than expected just to keep it looking fresh. Still, even if it does attract dust, pollen, or hair, the build quality feels solid.

The top-mounted LiDAR sensor is tucked neatly-ish into the design and doesn’t get in the way; the top cover lifts off cleanly to access the dustbin.

Underneath, the dual main brushes (DuoSpiral) and the CornerRover side arm do a great job managing hair and edge debris. The main rollers are designed to resist tangles, which really helps if you’ve got long-haired pets (or people) in the household.

One detail to note: at 4.4 inches tall, this bot is a bit chunkier than some competitors. If you’re hoping it will get under low sofas or bathroom vanities, you may want to break out the measuring tape before breaking out the wallet.

I’ve got a few pieces of furniture in my home that are a bit too low to the ground for most robot vacuum cleaners. This one is a smidge taller than most that I’ve spent time with, but still manages to squeeze under the same pieces.

The Omni Station is the real showstopper here. It’s big. There’s no getting around it. You’ll want to find it a semi-permanent home, preferably on hard flooring, since you’ll be filling and draining water and changing dust bags.

The Omni Station houses clean and dirty water tanks, a 3L dust bag, and an automatic detergent dispenser. Despite its size, it does a good job hiding its complexity. Moreover, its aesthetics are such that it fits in most environments without calling too much attention to itself. Most of the compartments are tucked away behind magnetic covers.

It’s weird to say this, but it might benefit from some added heft. The station is light enough to shift slightly on slick surfaces, especially during maintenance cycles. There’s also no cord organizer built into the back, which feels like a missed opportunity. But, hey, that’s not all that common, even in pricier competitors.

Setup and App Experience

Getting started is refreshingly easy as the setup process is smooth and beginner-friendly. The E25 connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network through the eufy Clean app, and you’ll be up and running in under 10 minutes.

Once online, it performs a mapping run using its iPath Laser Navigation system and AI.See RGB camera, which allows it to recognize room features like toilets or furniture. The mapping is fast and surprisingly accurate, with both 2D and 3D views available.

The app is thoughtfully designed, with lots of control. But, like any decent and feature-rich product, allow for a gentle learning curve. You can name each room, split or merge spaces, and prioritize where the robot should clean first. There are options for setting up custom schedules, tailoring suction and mop intensity, and managing consumables like brushes and filters.

It’s not perfect, and finding specific settings like mop schedule can feel buried, but overall, it’s one of the better robot vacuum apps out there.

Speaking of mopping, one disappointment I had is the lack of a “mop-only” option. You can run vacuum-only or vacuum-and-mop, but if you prefer to vacuum the whole house and then send it out again to mop, you’ll need to do a little workaround. Hopefully, that gets addressed in a future update.

On the smart home side, it supports Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and perhaps most importantly, Matter. This last one gives it some serious future-proofing appeal if you’re building out a fully integrated smart home.

Vacuuming Performance

With 20,000 Pa of suction, the E25 is seriously powerful. That’s more than double what some top competitors offer, though keep in mind that suction specs alone don’t tell the full story. It’s how the system uses that power that matters, and, fortunately, the E25 does it well.

In day-to-day use, it handled everything I threw at it: pet hair, crumbs, dust bunnies, and even rogue grains of rice. Low-pile rugs, tile, hardwood, and vinyl all came up clean. The DuoSpiral brushes really do help reduce tangling, which cuts down on the need for manual cleaning. Hair still finds its way onto the side brushes, but that’s an easy fix every few days/weeks.

The real standout here is edge and corner performance. The CornerRover side brush extends out when needed and does a great job collecting debris that other bots usually miss. It’s one of the best edge-cleaning performers I’ve seen. Combined with a suction that seems to be twice that of the robot vacuum I used for much of 2024, and we’re looking at a great tool for keeping my home tidy.

Mopping: Where It Really Shines

This is where the E25 separates itself from the pack. Its HydroJet mopping system uses a full-width rolling mop that scrubs at 180 RPM while applying 1.5 kg of downward pressure. Think of it like a powered floor buffer, scaled down for home use.

What makes it special is the built-in mop cleaner. While the E25 mops, it constantly sprays fresh water and scrapes off dirty water, cleaning the mop in real-time. That means your floors get cleaned with actual clean water and not just re-used mop pads that smear messes around.

I love that we’re still in an exploratory area when it comes to robot vacuums. Every generation breeds a new way to try things or a vastly improved approach to existing features. To that end, I feel kinda dirty thinking back on all of the robots that have essentially dragged dirty, cold pads across my kitchen floor.

In practice, mopping with the E25 works beautifully. Spills, sticky spots, and general grime all came up with little fuss. The water usage is efficient, and the floors dry quickly after a pass.

I like to see what others are saying about products as I set out to review them and found several users mentioning how muddy the dirty water tank was after a run. Obviously a sign of a mop doing its thing well, I saw the same thing when I ran it the first few times.

Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance

The E25 is smart but not flawless. It usually navigates smoothly around furniture, shoes, and dog toys. The AI.See camera helps it recognize and avoid common obstacles, and the LiDAR system builds precise maps that rarely need redoing. It also handles floor transitions well, climbing onto area rugs without hesitation.

However, you should still prep your home a bit before running things. As someone with an 18-month-old Aussiedoodle in the home, I know how quickly the floors can get messy. Between stuffing, strings, remnants, and other debris, we’re always picking up chunks of stuff, especially before running a vacuum.

Thin cords, long curtains, and stray socks can confuse the E25. I had one instance where it soaked the edge of a very thin rug in a hallway, perhaps because it failed to lift the mop or misidentified the surface. These hiccups are rare, but worth noting. And that was literally the one instance.

Adding a few no-go zones in the app takes care of most issues. Once the robot gets used to your home, it generally improves over time. Meanwhile, you’ll also get to understand what needs to be picked up or tidied before running it.

Maintenance and Long-Term Usability

This is where the E25 makes its case for being a true hands-off solution. The base station handles almost everything: emptying the dustbin, washing and drying the mop, refilling the clean water, and draining the dirty water. It even mixes detergent automatically if you add the cleaning solution.

In terms of upkeep, the 3L dust bag can go about three months before needing a change. That is, of course, provided you don’t task it with picking up every scrap of toy fabric or chewed-up “baby” pieces. The water tanks usually last through 3-4 full cleaning cycles in a medium-size home. The mop drying feature runs a quiet fan for a few hours and does a good job keeping things odor-free.

That said, it’s not zero maintenance, but no robot vacuum is completely hands-off. You’ll want to occasionally wipe down the scraper inside the bot and rinse out the dirty tank. Also, be ready to untangle hair from the side brushes every so often. And if you’re a neat-freak, you’ll probably wanna give the vacuum a quick wipe with a dust cloth.

The app seems to do a great job reminding me of when parts need cleaning or replacing.

Price and Value

At full MSRP ($899.99), the E25 is a solid buy and well worth the price. But should it dip closer to $750, which it may very well do during one of eufy’s many sales and promotions, it becomes one of the best deals in its class. Either way, you get a high-end mopping system, incredibly strong suction, great app features, and full automation for a price that undercuts some of the top-tier brands.

As I put this review to bed I did a final check on the price. Lo and behold, there’s a $200 instant coupon that brings the price down to just $700. That’s an amazing bargain if you ask me but I see it won’t last long.

Compared to the competition, it holds up well. Other brands might have slightly better navigation or quieter docks, but none offer the same mop quality at this price point. If hard floors are your priority, the E25 should be on your short list of candidates. Now, if only we could have it run a strictly mopping cycle…

Final Verdict

I’ve spent time with robot vacuums that cost several hundred dollars more than the Eufy Omni E25 and came away wondering what, exactly, the extra money was for.

The E25 isn’t just a value pick. It’s a legitimately impressive all-in-one cleaning system that delivers top-tier mopping, reliable vacuuming, smart navigation, and thoughtful automation without trying to reinvent the wheel or overwhelm you with complexity. It’s not perfect, but the areas where it falls short, like the lack of a mop-only mode or slightly noisy dock, are minor compared to what it gets right.

This is a robot that shows up, does the job, and makes your home noticeably cleaner with very little effort on your part. And it comes in a few hundred bucks cheaper than I’d expect. And when it’s on sale? It’s recommendation number one for me for the foreseeable future.

If you want a hands-off, pet-friendly cleaning companion with standout mopping and solid vacuuming that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this is one of the smartest buys you can make today.
