The Eufy Omni E28 is a new robot vacuum that combines strong cleaning performance with a self-emptying base, all at a price that undercuts many rivals. In testing, it proved particularly effective on hard floors and short carpets, handling pet hair and everyday debris with ease.
Design and features
The E28 features a sleek, minimalist design with a top-mounted lidar sensor for navigation. The self-emptying base holds a 2.5-liter dust bag, which means you only need to empty it every few weeks. The robot itself has a 4,000Pa suction power, which is higher than many models in its price range.
Setup is straightforward: you download the Eufy Clean app, connect the robot to your Wi-Fi, and you're ready. The app allows you to schedule cleanings, set no-go zones, and control the vacuum remotely. It also supports voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Performance and battery life
In our tests, the E28 navigated efficiently, avoiding obstacles and cleaning along edges without getting stuck. It picked up fine dust and larger debris on hard floors, and its performance on low-pile carpets was impressive. However, it struggled slightly with high-pile rugs, where it sometimes required a second pass.
Battery life is solid, with the robot running for about 120 minutes on a single charge before returning to its base. When the battery is low, it automatically docks and recharges, then resumes cleaning where it left off.
Value and conclusion
The Eufy Omni E28 is priced at $399, making it one of the more affordable robot vacuums with a self-emptying base. It offers a good balance of features and performance, especially for those with mostly hard floors or low-pile carpets. While it may not match the top-tier navigation of more expensive models, it delivers reliable cleaning for the price.
Overall, the E28 is a strong contender in the budget robot vacuum market, offering convenience and capability without the premium price tag.
