I tested this robot vacuum for a month. It cleans like a pro – and comes with a secret weapon for spills

There are a lot of robot vacuums to choose from these days. The Eufy Omni E28 may look like every other robot vacuum and mop, but it has one very big standout feature: its dock includes a detachable handheld carpet/fabric spot cleaner. Whenever you get a bad spill on the carpet, you’re supposed to be able to race over to the Omni dock, yank the “FlexiOne” portable deep cleaner’s handle to release it from the dock, plug it in where you need to deep clean, and eliminate that unsightly stain before it sets and leaves a permanent stain.

For a month, I used this robot vacuum to clean my home’s hardwood flooring, kitchen tiles and carpet. I also conducted a stain test to see how well its detachable deep cleaner could handle a variety of stains. I came away highly impressed with the cleaning power Eufy has packed into the E28, but you will also need to be a patient person who can handle a little noise.
