Eufy Omni E35 Review: Finally, a Luxury Robovac That Doesn’t Piss Me Off

If you’ve checked out the evaluations I’ve edited the previous year, you may be under the impression that I dislike robotic vacuums. That’s not precisely real, however it’s not completely incorrect, either. I do dislike a great deal of them.

It drives me nuts that numerous bots are so bad at many essentials. I do not indicate the midrange bots I’ve taken a look at recently, which aren’t pitched so hard as all-seeing, wise robots. I’m discussing the high-dollar elegant lads, with functions like extending mops and side brushes, big docks that tidy them out and scrub their soaked bits, and even stubby little roller legs for climbing up.

I’ve viewed one after another of those horrendously spendy robotics draw (bad) at their tasks, spinning and stumbling like bugged-out NPCs while looking for the dock that’s right in front of them or disposing formerly collected particles around my home, all while in some cases costing method over $1,000. Who appreciates innovative functions if your robotic vacuum, which is more costly than a MacBook Air, is going to create chaos all over it goes?

In my screening, the $1,300 Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35 hasn’t had the majority of those problems. It does a terrific task at the fundamentals, has a reasonably compact dock, and really appears mindful, in its computer-y method, of daily family flooring mess. The only other robotic vacuum I’ve felt that method about is the Matic, which impressed me with its exceptional app and outstanding navigation, however which a few of the commentariat (consisting of those who stay here at Gizmodo) dislike viscerally– in no little part due to its abnormally blocky, high kind aspect that makes it not able to clean up the under-furniture locations that its hockey puck-shaped competitors has no issue reaching.

After a year of pricey robovac-related injury that’s left me careful and negative, even I am required to confess that the Omni E35 is a genuine competitor for finest robotic vacuum. And for the Matic haters out there, it’s the very first $1,000-plus mopping, sweeping flooring bot I’ve checked that can get under a sofa and does not seem like an overall waste of cash.

The Omni E35 makes a great impression. Its dock is compact, at 17.6 inches high and 14.5 inches large. The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete’s dock, for contrast, stands 19.6 inches high and is 15.3 inches large. That might not look like much of a distinction, however it keeps the E35’s base station from appearing like a tiny refrigerator, which I like. The entire thing was available in a remarkably compact box, loaded such that getting the entire set out and establish fasted and simple, with very little remaining garbage to handle. Pluses all around.

Software application setup was mainly fast, too– after getting the Omni E35 into its dock and powering it on, you simply scan for it with the Anker Eufy app, tap its icon when it appears on the screen, then follow a couple of triggers. I needed to reboot the dock and the robotic later, when the app reported that the robotic could not begin mapping due to the fact that its battery was at 0%. I understood that could not be right, so I disconnected the dock, plugged it back in, and turned the E35 on and off once again utilizing its power button; later, the app revealed more than 90% battery and let me start mapping my apartment or condo. I needed to leave throughout this procedure and came home to discover the robotic had actually been disabled by an errant sock– an inauspicious start that, after a week of

After setup, you’ll discover no genuine surprises in the Anker Eufy app. Like nearly all other robotic vacuum apps, it utilizes basic, colored squares and rectangular shapes to reveal its map of your home.( There is likewise a” 3D” alternative, however it’s simply the exact same map with polygonal rectangular shapes representing the walls, which you can turn and tilt by swiping around the screen.) You can develop no-go zones and specify carpeted locations you do not desire mopped by drawing rectangular shapes on the map. You can likewise divide or combine spaces, which you’ll most likely wish to do– the app divides them up for you, however I’m not exactly sure I’ve ever had a robotic vacuum get my home’s floorplan right on its own, and the E35, which integrated part of my dining-room with part of my kitchen area, was no various.

Something I wish to see Eufy and other robotic vacuum makers determine is how to duplicate Matic’s maps, which utilize that robovac’s video cameras to produce what appears like an image of your floorings drawn from above. I like this since it’s a lot simpler to, state, send out the robotic to the specific location you wish to find tidy when you can really see the visual functions of your floor covering in the app. With the Omni E35 and others, I’m simply sort of doing my finest to approximate where things are– which mainly works however is a lot less rewarding.

Settings in the Anker Eufy app are quite normal of a self-cleaning, self-emptying robotic vacuum. You can set relentless, per-room cleansing choices if, state, you ‘d rather the E35 vacuum however not mop or desire it to utilize basically suction power. It lets you choose how typically you ‘d like it to empty or tidy itself or whether to let the robotic’s software application deal with that based upon loose choices like” Light Self-Cleaning “or” Deep Self-Cleaning “– that is, less or regularly. I left it on the default “Standard Self-Cleaning” mode and never ever saw the bot’s dustbin obstructing, which can be a problem if you do not let a robovac empty itself regularly enough.

One setting lets you switch off “AI.See Obstacle Avoidance,” Eufy’s obvious mode that utilizes the bot’s front-facing electronic cameras to keep it from consuming your things. It’s most likely best to leave this on, unless you wish to lighten your day with a little incidental schadenfreude. When I deactivated it, the E35 instantly ramped off the tapered corner of a baseboard in my corridor, drew up a cable television, and got snagged on a sock, all within the period of about 3 minutes. I saw for 10 minutes as it had a hard time to totally free itself from the sock, smacking into a door over and over due to the fact that it might just spin one wheel. I was amazed it never ever stopped and alerted me through the app that it was stuck, however to its credit, it did ultimately break out and complete its job.

Other functions run in the app’s background and just look like the circumstance needs. After the E35’s very first tidy, a message popped up on the robotic’s home screen showing that the gadget had actually identified a” stuck-prone carpet. ” Tapping that alert took me to a screen that used to make the little, light-weight carpets in my restroom off-limits. I decreased, and the message came back the next day concerning the exact same carpets. The gadget had not really gotten stuck yet, however it had actually left among the carpets askew, so this time I accepted the deal.

news The very first robovac licensed for asthma and allergic reactions

The Omni E35’s hardware has one quite fascinating standout function. Rather of an easy plastic dustbin, it includes an onboard cyclonic separator– the exact same kind that Dyson presented to vacuums in the 1980sYou’ll discover these in some docks, such as that of the Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone, however hardly ever in robotics themselves. This permits the E35( in addition to other bots with such integrated separators, consisting of the Eufy Omni S2 and the Dyson 360 Vis Nav) to separate bigger particles from great particles, such as pet dander, pollen, and mold spores, which are then pressed through its HEPA filter, preferably avoiding them from being rearranged into your home. Eufy states it can even get rid of 95% of allergen from carpet.

I have no chance to check whether these claims about the Omni E35 hold up. The Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), which just recently accredited the gadget as Asthma & Allergy Friendly, obviously does. At IFA 2026 in early September, an AAFA agent validated to me that the E35 is the only robotic vacuum to have actually made the accreditation given that the group began checking them in 2022He stated the structure look for things like whether a robotic vacuum is aerosolizing allergenic particles by flinging them into the air, for example, through its exhaust. According to the Omni E35’s accreditation listing on the AAFA site, Eufy’s robotic “lowers allergen and feline irritants by approximately 98% on carpets and 99.9% on difficult floorings.” It’s worth mentioning, however, that these outcomes were under laboratory conditions; it would not be unexpected to see that efficiency vary in real-world usage, specifically as the robotic and its parts age.

I might not have the ability to evaluate how well the Omni E35 manages such tiny particles, however I can definitely inform you that it left my carpet and difficult flooring devoid of particles any place it went throughout my screening. My carpets have actually looked newly vacuumed every day after running it, and my feet have actually discovered no deals with when walking my house, a minimum of while my kid is at school. That’s normally real of other robotic vacuums I’ve checked, like the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro. Some clog-prone designs, like the X12 OmniCyclone, may simply drop particles they’ve attempted to vacuum up when obstructions form and they can no longer empty themselves at their docks.

The Omni E35 might likewise mop with the very best of them; it left my floorings with a streak-free shine, even when I sent it after a huge glob of catsup on my cooking area flooring. Compare that to the Eufy Omni E28, which got the majority of the mess when I ran that test however left streaks of catsup in the location and smeared some on a carpet as it went back to its dock.

Eufy’s high-end robotic vacuums are squareish, instead of hockey puck-shaped like the majority of their competitors. As far as I can inform, that does not impact efficiency in obvious methods. The Omni E35 can still reach into corners and fit in between the chair legs in my dining-room. It’s a bit on the high side, at 4.6 inches. It still gets under all of my furnishings however smacks the circular frame of its LiDAR sensing unit on the bottom edge of my kitchen area cabinets when it’s cleaning up underneath them, which would not occur with bots like the X60 Max Ultra Complete or iRobot Roomba Max 775.

The Omni E35 works rapidly, too. It might knock out a complete vacuum and mop of my 750-square-foot house in around an hour, and it ended up with 64% of its battery staying. It both did that much faster than other robotics I’ve evaluated in the exact same area and ended with more battery. The runner-up there is the Qrevo 2 Pro, which took 2 hours to do the exact same task and ended with 52% battery. Although I would not call the Omni E35 the quietest robotic vacuum ever, it’s not obnoxiously loud, and its dock is remarkably calm when clearing the E35’s dustbin, producing absolutely nothing close to the plane-takeoff sound of the E28.

Regardless of the first-day sock event, I never ever needed to fret about getting before running the Omni E35. When barrier avoidance was switched on, the gadget never ever as soon as dragged a cable television around, consumed my kid’s headband, or handicapped itself attempting to consume clothes. I even attempted screwing with it by leaving cable televisions and clothing in dark spaces or under furnishings, and it simply walked around them. I still would not depend on it not to draw up things like hair ties or Legos, however Eufy did a specifically great task keeping the E35 from snagging on the important things that, in my experience, frequently trap robotic vacuums.

Something that troubled me: I want the Omni E35 was as proficient at preventing walls as it is at averting barriers. It tended to keep its range from many furnishings, it bumped my walls a lot, in some cases quite powerfully. Inexplicably, on 3 various celebrations while cleaning up wall edges, it quickly accelerated and began doing donuts– or, for you upper midwestern readers, whipping sh * tties— in reverse up until something, normally the wall it was near, stopped it. I asked Eufy if it’s mindful of this odd habits, similar to freak-outs I’ve seen from other luxury-tier robotic vacuums, which tend to utilize more complicated navigation algorithms than the zigzagging courses that more affordable robotics follow, and will upgrade this piece if I hear back.

Another quibble I have is that you can’t manage the Omni E35 through the Anker Eufy app without a web connection. That’s typical– of the flooring bots I’ve checked, just the Matic maintains complete first-party app control (minus its just recently included voice commands) in the lack of Wi-Fi. It’s likewise bothersome since if your web is out and you do not have actually the E35 linked to a third-party clever home platform by means of Matter, you can just manage it with 2 physical buttons: one starts a whole-home tidy, and the other sends it back to its dock.

If you do have the Omni E35 linked to your clever home by means of Matter, you’ll get some fundamental controls. In the Apple Home app, even with my router detached from the web, I had the ability to send out the E35 to tidy particular spaces, time out, or go back to its dock, it obediently did whatever I asked, and its barrier avoidance worked along with ever. I asked Eufy why its own app does not support regional control of this robotic, and I’ll upgrade this story if the business reacts.

Mind you, however, linking the Omni E35 to the Apple Home app by means of Matter was cumbersome as all hell. The procedure needed me to back all the method out to the Anker Eufy app’s homescreen, then tap the three-dash menu button in the upper left, try to find the “Third Party Services” choice, and tap my method through 6 different screens to discover a Matter setup code. This is a method simpler procedure with other robovacs, such as the Matic or the Qrevo 2 Pro, both of which have Matter combination alternatives sitting on top level of their settings.

news The very best robovac of its type I’ve evaluated

The marketplace has lots of low-to-the-ground robotic vacuums, few of which deserve your cash. That’s particularly real of the pricey, luxury-tier ones with huge self-cleaning docks. They simply have a lot of problems with unreliable navigation, blocking, streaky mops, and more. The Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35 itself is not inexpensive, sporting a $1,300 market price. It might well be the very first choice I’ve evaluated at this cost point that I would really think about advising to a pal who desires a robotic vacuum and mop that can get under sofas and does not require childcare. I still choose the Matic for its exceptional app, clever navigation, and local-only control abilities, however the E35 is a really strong runner-up.

There are things I would think about before purchasing Eufy’s brand-new robotic vacuum. One is the absence of regional network control with its native app. Yes, it’s real that nearly no robotic vacuums can be accessed by means of their apps if the web decreases. Matic, whose robovac app control works regardless of web connection, has actually revealed it does not have to be that method, and it’s time that other robotic vacuum makers got on board. Matter rather relieves the circumstance by making it possible for fundamental regional control by means of a third-party clever home app, however linking the E35 to other communities is cumbersome. There’s likewise the strange little freak-out I experienced a couple of times, where the robotic began doing donuts and smacking walls. All of that might possibly alter after future software application updates, however no assurances.

If you’re fine with those cautions, the E35 might be for you. At its core, it’s an exceptional well-rounded floor-cleaning bot that’s peaceful, will not rip things off of side tables due to the fact that you left a cable television hanging from them, and may simply assist clear your home of irritants– a minimum of, those that have actually chosen the flooring. I’m still not persuaded it’s worth $1,300, however a minimum of it does what it states on the tin.
