This model does an impressive job of taking on floor cleaning tasks with ease, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. The base station needs some extra space than other models, requiring 50cm either side and 150cm in front.
Its advanced navigation technology can follow the design of your home, while storing and utilizing the data in its own internal memory without ever having to transfer it to the cloud or an external source.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also very efficient, allowing it identify and avoid hazards such as power cords.

However, I found that the X10 may be stuck on thicker rug, and then crash loudly over them, and sometimes pushing its front brush into them.
This is a great robo-vacuum and mop however, it's let down by the confusing app. As opposed to the iRobot app, which holds your hand through the process of setting up your robot and instructing you how to use it but the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure things out on your own. It's a great choice for those who wish to personalize it to suit their needs.
