Eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum

A Serious Contender in the Mid-Range Robot Vacuum Space

The Eufy X10 Pro Omni positions itself as a premium robot vacuum without the eye-watering price tag of flagship models. At £549, it's targeting users who want comprehensive automated cleaning but aren't willing to spend over £800 for the privilege. After living with this machine for several weeks, I can confidently say it largely delivers on that promise, though with some caveats that potential buyers should understand.

Design and Build Quality

Eufy has crafted a machine that feels substantial without being ostentatious. The X10 Pro Omni measures the standard 35cm diameter but carries itself with a reassuring weight that suggests quality components rather than cost-cutting plastic. The matte black finish resists fingerprints well, and the LiDAR tower sits low enough to slip under most furniture – a genuine advantage over bulkier competitors.

The all-in-one station deserves particular praise. Unlike the Roomba Combo j9+'s rather industrial-looking dock, Eufy's base station actually looks like something you might choose to display in your kitchen or utility room. The 2.5-litre dust bag capacity and 4-litre water tanks mean genuinely hands-off operation for weeks at a time.

Cleaning Performance That Delivers

The 8,000Pa suction figure isn't just marketing fluff – this machine genuinely shifts debris that lesser vacuums leave behind. I tested it against embedded cat litter, cereal crumbs, and the eternal nemesis of robot vacuums: long human hair. The X10 Pro tackled all three with confidence, though it occasionally needed a second pass on the deepest carpet pile sections.

The dual rotating mop pads apply 1kg of downward pressure, which translates to noticeably better results on kitchen spills compared to lighter systems. However, don't expect miracles on dried-on stains – this is maintenance cleaning, not deep restoration. The automatic mop lifting works reliably when transitioning to carpets, preventing the soggy mess that plagued earlier hybrid models.

Navigation proves impressively sophisticated thanks to the AI-MapSmart LiDAR system. The 3D mapping creates detailed floor plans that actually reflect your home's layout, not the abstract approximations some budget models produce. Multi-floor mapping supports up to three levels, and the vacuum reliably remembers which floor it's on without manual intervention.

Smart Features That Actually Work

The ProDetect 2.0 sensing system combines LiDAR with an AI camera to identify and avoid obstacles. During testing, it successfully navigated around shoes, phone chargers, and even cat toys without the dramatic route changes that suggest confusion. The system isn't foolproof – it occasionally trapped itself under a particular dining chair – but performs notably better than pure LiDAR systems.

The eufy Clean App provides comprehensive control over cleaning schedules, suction power, and mop dampness levels. Room-specific settings let you boost power for high-traffic areas while running quieter modes in bedrooms. The 65dB noise level proves accurate – noticeably quieter than the Dreame L40 Ultra's more aggressive cleaning cycles.

Alexa and Google Home integration works seamlessly for basic commands, though complex instructions sometimes require the app. The 180-minute battery life easily handles most homes in a single session, with the vacuum returning automatically to recharge if needed.

Value Against the Competition

Here's where the X10 Pro Omni truly shines. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra offers superior mopping performance and more advanced AI recognition, but costs exactly double at £1,099. The ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S Combo sits closer at £649 but lacks the sophisticated mapping and obstacle avoidance.

The iRobot Roomba Combo j9+ at £799 provides comparable navigation but inferior suction power and a less comprehensive base station. Only the Dreame L40 Ultra at £899 offers genuinely superior performance, but that's £350 more expensive.

For £549, you're getting approximately 80% of the performance of machines costing significantly more. The compromises exist – the camera system isn't as advanced as Roborock's, and the app lacks some premium features – but they're reasonable given the price differential.

Minor Frustrations in Daily Use

The X10 Pro isn't perfect. The eufy Clean App, while functional, feels less polished than iRobot's or Roborock's offerings. Setting up cleaning schedules requires more taps than necessary, and the interface occasionally feels sluggish.

The 270ml water tank provides adequate coverage for most homes but might require mid-clean refills for larger properties. The vacuum also struggles with very dark surfaces, occasionally missing spots on black rugs where the sensors have difficulty detecting debris.

Edge cleaning could be more aggressive – the side brush sometimes pushes debris away rather than collecting it, particularly on hard floors.

The Verdict

The Eufy X10 Pro Omni succeeds in its primary mission: delivering premium robot vacuum performance without premium pricing. The combination of powerful suction, effective mopping, and genuinely useful smart features creates a compelling package for most households.

While it can't match the absolute best performers in every category, it comes close enough that the £300-500 savings over premium alternatives become genuinely meaningful. For buyers seeking comprehensive automated cleaning without breaking the budget, the X10 Pro Omni represents one of the smartest choices available right now.
