Eureka E10S

Keeping your house clean with pets and kids is challenging enough. Eureka’s E10S is a great method to reduce time and free up your hands.

The E10S is a basic robotic vacuum and mop that is designed to take the strain of everyday chores while still providing the regular cleaning you'd are used to at home. It sits between basic entry-level robots with tiny dust bins that are onboard and no mopping capabilities and high-end robotic cleaners with multiple tanks for cleaners as well as strong mop heads. In our tests, we discovered that the E10S was time-saving and provided a good level of cleaning. However, it does require some maintenance to keep it working.

It takes the E10S approximately four hours to recharge from zero, but it starts up and roams the house after a full recharge that's plenty of time for an average weekly cleaning session. The robot maps your home, then creates a schedule for cleaning by using the GPS on your phone. You can specify zones and rooms. You can also start cleaning at any point using the onboard buttons or the app.

Our test subjects discovered that the E10S was effective at picking up most dirt and debris, with only a few minor exceptions. It was unable to get into tight corners and was not able to remove some sticky spills. The mopping capabilities are limited to one mop pad at the back of the machine, and it's not always able lift it when it's laid on a wood floors or carpet.

The E10S is an attractive well-engineered, easy to use robot. Its base station looks elegant and is simple to operate. It features an open front with perspex that allows you to see when it's time to empty. It also has a useful ledge that lets it stand up independently when placed on an even surface. Contrary to most robots, the E10S utilizes a bagless multi-cyclonic technology that's just as easy to empty like a normal vacuum.

Dyson, the company best known for its TikTok hairstylers and high-tech cordless vacuums that have a futuristic look is now entering the world motorized mopping. The V15s Detect Submarine is a vacuum cleaner and mop that can be used on hard floors. It comes with two heads: the Fluffy Optic Cleaner Head with a laser that is built-in for hard floors and the Digital Motorbar Cleaner Head.

Like the other V15s models, this model can be turned into a handheld tool by disconnecting its main wand and securing any of the eight tools that it includes directly to the dust bin, including a new anti-tangle hair screw tool that has 56 polycarbonate teeth that slice into strands of human and pet hair, allowing them to be easily sucked into the canister rather than stuck around the brush head itself. It also comes with three power levels as well as an hygienic system for emptying the bin that keeps debris in place until it's cleared of.

The V15s Detect is also equipped with an intelligent LCD screen that shows the mode you are currently in ('Auto', 'Eco', and 'Boost'), the remaining battery life, and an extensive chart that reveals exactly what you are taking in - from large chunks to tiny skin particles or allergens. You can set a reminder that will remind you to empty your dust container at regular intervals. This is a great method to ensure that you don't overflow.

It's simple enough to use and also. After a full charge, the V15s Detect will take just 4.5 hours to complete 100 percent of its runtime. Simply attach the attachments you like and press the mode button to start cleaning. The LEDs will turn green at the front to indicate that all the dirt has been removed.

The trigger-operated system is a feature that has a split opinion. Some are not a fan of using it for long cleaning sessions. Dyson addressed this issue in later models by introducing the use of a button to turn off/on and a larger size bin, which is a good idea considering the amount of dust this vacuum picks up. The vacuum also requires a separate filter that can be removed from the base, and then washed under running water to ensure it is functioning at its best.

Shark EZ Robot

Shark RV915S Robot Vacuum: Self-Empty Base Alexa Compatible is an established vacuum brand that makes some of the most powerful robot vacuums available.

It's easy to use, too it allows you to start the process, stop it, and then send it back to dock via buttons on its top as well as through its companion app. It can be controlled via voice commands or Alexa devices.

In our tests, the AV911S EZ demonstrated impressive suction capabilities and efficient mapping abilities. It's small enough to clean under most tables and couches and can be returned to areas that require more cleaning.
