Around two months ago, Anker introduced a new and powerful robot vacuum, the Eufy S1. Currently priced at $1,299, buyers can activate a discount of $300 when purchasing directly from the manufacturer, bringing the final price down to $999. The discount is set to expire very soon. The model is also available at Amazon for the same price ($1,299); only Prime members are eligible for the $999.99 price tag.
Now for the device itself: The Eufy S1 is advertised with a "Always Clean Mop", which consists of a dual water reservoir that ensures that the rolling mop is always clean: it spins at 170 RPM (rounds per minute), constantly cleaning and supplying itself with clean water and detergent while discharging the waste water simultaneously. Wiping (downward) pressure is specified as one kilogram (2.2 lbs), which is higher than average for the price range, and the mop roller itself is 290 mm (11.4 inches) long. The mop roller automatically lifts up to 12.7 mm, which is useful in carpet cleaning scenarios. For reference, the mop pad lift height is 10 mm on average on other devices.
The 10-in-1 UniClean station offers a number of automated features, ranging from auto-emptying, auto-washing, auto-refilling, auto-heated air drying, auto wastewater collection, auto detergent dispensing, touch control to a sealed dust bag. LiDAR is used for navigation and, thanks to the LED and RGB camera, a wide variety of objects can be recognized and circumvented. Eufy states that objects such as slippers and cables are easily detected and avoided thanks to a custom AI algorithm. The mop pad is almost square, accompanied by two side brushes, which is intended for better cleaning in corners. The suction power is specified as 8,000 Pa.
There are relatively few differences to the S1 Pro, which offers better navigation and an "Eco Clean Ozone" feature for disinfection, among other things.
