The self-emptying process is okay, but debris regularly gets stuck in the vacuum.
Freshly dropped crumbs and dirt were generally fine, but more stubborn walked-in dirt couldn’t be captured.
It did this reliably and without any mess spilling out onto the floor.

Unfortunately, the vacuum was rarely able to deposit the full contents of its clean into the base station.
This resulted in the need for fairly regular maintenance cleaning to keep everything running smoothly.
The mop pad feels like a half-hearted attempt at providing a premium feature.

In essence, all it is doing is running a wet cloth along the floor behind the vacuum.
The mop was able to clean up fresh spills but couldn’t push through deeper stains.
The E10 is also available in Australia.

There are no plans at the moment for a UK release.
This price point puts it firmly in the middle of the market between the super-budget options and premium alternatives.
TheEufy Clean X9 Prois a little more expensive, but delivers better mopping performance.
If mopping is important to you, then theEcovacs DEEBOT T20 Omniis another great option.
After leaving the gear to charge for a few hours, it was ready to map my house.
The robot vacuum is a beautiful round shape made of premium-quality powder-coated dark grey plastic.
More specific and targeted cleaning tasks can be carried out through the app.
This was particularly effective at the edges and corners of rooms.
Without them, I think it would have struggled in these areas.
The pad can be easily removed for cleaning and re-applying.
I found that the robot had no problems finding its way back to its home.
The vacuum is complemented by an easy-to-use, powerful app.
you’ve got the option to also set up a cleaning schedule for automated cleaning at set times.
I found it funny that there was a ‘Find My Robot’ feature.
I can’t say I needed it, but the option is certainly nice to have.
At this level of power, the E10s was unable to pick up any of the debris.
The flour and biscuits just got compacted into the carpet, meaning I needed to wipe the carpet afterward.
The second test with oats was very much the same story.
The highest suction power was able to get up most of the oats.
More stubborn stains weren’t effectively removed, largely due to the lack of oscillating or rotating mops.
In terms of noise, the robot vacuum reached 55dB on its lowest suction and 70dB on its highest.
The former noise level just blends into the background, whereas the latter ruins a nice, relaxing evening.
The E10s boasts self-emptying technology that negates the need for bags.
I was excited to use this feature but was disappointed by its performance.
This made the vacuum largely ineffective, even at the highest suction power.
The performance of the mapping and navigation technology was second to none.
The E10s was able to detect objects and brush up alongside them with a high level of accuracy.
Rather than rotating and readjusting, it opted to push alongside these edges and therefore perform more efficient routes.
The map also shows where the base station is to help you orient yourself.
Setting the robot to clean can be done in a number of ways.
The easiest way is to select specific rooms on the map and hit the clean button.
It is also possible to use the zones feature and create a cleaning area.
The final way to set a clean going is to use the Scheduled Cleaning feature.
This lets you specify a time, a repeat schedule, and a number of cleaning cycles.
It also allows you to specify which rooms are to be cleaned on that particular schedule.
Finally, multiple schedules can be created to create a highly customized schedule.
This gets tricky when partnering multi-floor cleaning with a cleaning schedule.
In practice, I found the battery lasted just over an hour when at its highest suction setting.
Should I buy the Eureka E10?
It has a beautiful design, reasonable vacuuming capabilities, albeit a middling mopping feature.
Rooms and zones can be specified, with cleaning schedules set up accordingly.
The process is very straightforward, and there is no debris loss on the floor.
Choosing a robot vacuum with an oscillating or rotating mopping mechanism usually garners better results.
This results in a far reduced battery life that will only manage around 600-800 square feet per charge.
This results in the robot becoming clogged up and requiring semi-regular maintenance.

Eufy Clean X9 ProA solid robot vacuum that vacuums and mops.
Unfortunately, theres no auto-emptying for the dust box.
Theres also an intuitive app that creates an intelligent map and makes it simple to adjust various tweaks.
The former was made up of crushed digestives and flour, with the latter consisting of oats.
These helped me see how well the vacuum was able to handle different types of mess.
