A great mid-range vacuum cleaner, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni has many features only found on higher-end cleaners: spinning microfibre mopping pads, powerful suction, and a self-empty, self-clean station. It’s a little fiddly to set up for the best mopping action for your home, but once running properly, this vacuum cleaner is a brilliant robot vacuum and mop. It’s hard to beat at this price.
Pros
- Excellent value
- Great maintenance mopping
- Powerful vacuuming
Cons
- A little fiddly to configure
- Struggles to mop corners
Eufy X10 Pro Omni: Introduction
- Type: Vacuum and mopping robot cleaner
- Docking: Self cleaning and self emptying with hot air mop pad drying
- Navigation system: LiDAR, iPath Laser Navigation
With the Eufy X10 Pro Omni, the company has taken several features it’s had before on other robots, such as the Eufy Clean X8 Pro, and bundled them into one better package.
That means dual-microfibre spinning mops for mopping, anti-tangle vacuuming, and a self-cleaning, self-emptying docking station.
Sitting at the top of Eufy’s robo cleaning hierarchy with the new S1 Pro, but at around half the price of other brands’ flagship rivals, such as the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, the X10 Pro Omni is a great robot vacuum cleaner and mop for those that want quality cleaning at a more reasonable price.

Design and components
- Dual microfibre cloths
- Anti-tangle tech
- Self-empty and self-cleaning dock
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni is a slightly different shape to most robot vacuum cleaners. While rivals are almost universally round, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni is a rounded rectangle, making it easier for the robot to get into corners.
Flip it over, and there’s a pretty standard layout with a single side brush for teasing dirt out from the edges of rooms, a floor roller and dual microfibre cloths that spin for mopping.
These pads aren’t round, but have a pentagonal shape, so that they touch where the meet in the middle, to avoid a situation where a thin line of floor doesn’t get mopped.
With a motor that lifts the pads up to 12mm off the ground, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni can move over short-pile carpets and rugs without soaking them.
For those with deep-pile carpets or thicker rugs, you may want a vacuum cleaner with a higher lift, such as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or the iRobot Roomba Combo J7+.
Eufy has a comb on the main brush bar that prevents hair from tangling around it. I’ve got multiple cats and people with long hair, and the brush bar has, so far, not got tangled with hair. That’s one horrible job that doesn’t have to be done.
The X10 is the first Eufy robot vacuum cleaner to have a combined self-clean and self-empty station. Taking 2.5-litre bags, the station can hold around 2 months’ worth of dirt before needing replacing, which is pretty much average for the market.
There’s a 3-litre tank for clean water, and a 2.7-litre tank for dirty water. I tend to find that these need emptying and refilling about once a week, depending on how often I put the robot on.
Detergent can be added to the clean water tank if required. Eufy recommends its own, but I can’t see why using a different brand detergent, mixed at the correct ratio, would cause a problem.
Features
- AI object avoidance
- Powerful suction
A camera at the front works with Eufy’s AI See technology to spot and avoid common obstacles, such as shoes, and cables.
It generally works pretty well, although you have to be a little aware of where an obstacle is. Running the Eufy X10 Pro Omni in a bedroom, with the dock near a hairdryer’s power cable, I found that the robot backed into the cable immediately; for obstacles further away from the dock, I didn’t have any issues.
Generally, the quality of the navigation and object detection meant minimal cleaning up, while the robot went about its business. Of course, it is worth moving obstacles from time-to-time to ensure a deeper clean.
Suction is rated at a maximum of 8000pa, which makes this one of the most powerful robots (on paper). In reality, the stats meet expectations, and the robot performed brilliantly on hard floors and carpets alike.
Mopping
- Edge mopping improves room cleaning
- Slightly complex to configure properly
- Excellent daily mopping
Once configured correctly, mopping is generally very good. I found that the Eufy X10 Pro Omni was on par with the Ecovacs T20 Omni. With fully saturated pads working together, the most common marks on the floor can be removed.
This mopping system struggles with tougher ground-in stains. With its wide roller, I found the Eufy Omni S1 Pro to be better for these kinds of marks.
The app has an edge-hugging mode, which gets the robot to swing its back and microfibre pads into the sides of rooms.
It’s pretty cool watching the robot do its thing, and the action does help. However, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni does leave a small gap around the room and it can’t get into corners; for this, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is a better choice.
As well as turning on edge mopping, you can adjust how often the robot returns to the dock for mop cleaning. More regular trips to the dock are best for very dirty floors, preventing dirty mop pads from spreading much.
However, increasing the number of visits increases the number of times the dock’s tanks have to be dealt with.
Robots that can sense how dirty a mopping pad is, and adjust the cleaning schedule on the fly, are easier to deal with, and it takes a bit of trial and error to get the Eufy X10 Pro Omni set up properly.
That’s not to say that the Eufy X10 Pro Omni isn’t good. It is a quality mopping robot, especially for the price, which includes hot air drying for the mopping pads.
App and digital assistants
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni works with the Eufy app, which gets the basics right and has a few neat features. First up, the robot performs a mapping run, which automatically creates a floor plan with rooms. Maps can be edited to split or merge rooms, and then to name them.
Map management includes setting virtual boundaries, plus no-mop or no-go zones. These are all handy tools for dealing with issues, such as low furniture that trap the robot.
Cleans can be started for the entire map, rooms of your choice or for a zone that you draw on the map to tackle on specific area.
For each clean you can have one or two passes, choose the suction power and the mopping intensity.
As noted elsewhere, the deeper settings let you control edge hugging mopping and the mop pad cleaning interval; these should be set to get the best clean for your home.
I like the scenarios editor, which lets you set up your favourite cleans. For example, I have one that tackles just a small area around where I prep food, so the Eufy X10 Pro Omni can move out and pick up any mess when I’m finished cooking.
Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant support are available, with basic commands to start and stop a clean.
Battery life and maintenance
On standard mode, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni can mop and clean for 130-minutes, with that figure dropping if higher power modes are used.
As with much of the competition, we’ve long since passed the point where battery life is an issue. Even set to two passes, I found that the Eufy X10 Pro Omni has plenty of power to manage a clean and have enough power left to tackle spot jobs.
Maintenance is largely done by the docking station, but there are a few manual jobs. Once ever week or so, it’s worth cleaning out the base of the docking station to prevent clogging; try and do this when you’re prompted to empty and refill the tanks.
While the robot is emptied manually, its bin has a filter inside, which can be cleaned; once a month is about right. And, while you’re doing that, give the sensors a wipe down.
Otherwise, there’s just the brushes and brush bar to keep an eye on, with the app telling you when it’s time to replace them (or at least inspect them to see if they need changing).
Final thoughts
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni is a brilliant vacuum cleaner and mop. It has a mid-range price, but is a brilliant mop and vacuum cleaner.
I’d say that the Eufy Omni S1 Pro is a better mop overall, and the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra more flexible and better at edge cleaning, but both models are considerably more expensive. It’s hard to beat this robot for value.
How we test
When we publish our reviews, you can rest assured that they are the result of “living with” long term tests.
Robot cleaners usually live within an ecosystem, or a range of products that – supposedly – all work in harmony. And they are designed to offer a range of different cleaning options. Therefore, it’s impossible to use a robo cleaner for a week and deliver a verdict.
Because we’re testing smart home kit all day, everyday, we know what matters and how a particular smart cleaning machine compares to alternatives that you might also be considering.
Our reviews are comprehensive, objective and fair and, of course, we are never paid directly to review a device.
