- Eufy X10
If you're looking for a high-quality all-rounder then the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can do everything you ask a robot vacuum and mop to do, all at a reasonable cost.
This model does a fantastic job of tackling floor cleaning tasks with ease, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. Its base station takes slightly more space than other models, requiring 50cm either side and 150cm in front.
The smart navigation technology of the X10 is able to track the layout and design of your home. It stores the data in its internal memory without ever sending it to the cloud. The X10 can keep track of room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.
The X10's intelligent object recognition system also performs well and allows the robot to easily recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It is also able to automatically clean and recharge its battery, which is a nice touch. However, I found that the X10 may get stuck on some thicker rugs, crashing noisily over them, and sometimes pushing its front brush into them.
Overall it's a top-quality robot vacuum and mop that's disappointed by a confusing app. Eufy Clean's app is not as intuitive as the iRobot App, which guides you through the process of setting up your robot up and shows users how to use. It's a great choice for those who want to modify it to suit their needs.

Unfortunately, the S10's battery life isn't as good as some of its rivals and may require the battery to recharge every so often if you have a larger house. Furthermore, it can be loud when it is in use and might not be suitable for use in areas where silence is preferred. It's a good value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is one of the models that stands out from the rest due to its sleek, contemporary design.

In my tests, I noticed that the K10 Plus' battery life was outstanding. It lasted for 110 minutes in one run. This is more than the iRobot Roomba Combo's 127 mins.
