Eureka E10s Review: No Fuss Out of the Box Robot Vacuum

In our quest for a spotless home, we often dream of a tireless cleaner that works around the clock. After all, a clean living space can significantly boost our mood and overall well-being. I’ve spent three weeks putting the Eureka E10s robot vacuum cleaner through its paces, and I’m here to share my thoughts on whether this could be the 24/7 cleaning solution you’ve been searching for.

First Impressions

The Eureka E10s immediately catches the eye with its sleek suction station. My review unit came in white, featuring a striking purple internal cyclone suction component that’s reminiscent of Dyson’s popular stick vacuum cleaners. It’s a design that seamlessly blends function with aesthetics.

Package Contents

Unboxing the Eureka E10s reveals a comprehensive package. You’ll find the robot vacuum unit itself, the suction station, pre-installed filters, a handy cleaning brush, a pair of robot vacuum cleaner brushes, a spare mopping pad, and the essential user manuals. It basically comes with everything you need to get started right away.

Setup Experience

One of the standout features of the Eureka E10s is its user-friendly setup process. The roller brush, mopping pad, and vacuum filter come pre-installed, saving you valuable time and effort. All I had to do was remove a few safety seals, attach the side brushes, and fill the water tank for mopping. The manual clearly states that the robot vacuum unit is ready to dock at the suction station for charging.

It’s worth noting that the docking station requires some space to function optimally – about 50 cm on each side and 1.5 m in front. I found the perfect spot for mine in the kitchen and dining area, where most of our household dirt accumulates. A clever design feature is the ability to spool excess cable on the back of the docking station, keeping unsightly wires at bay.

I needed to charge the Eureka E10s robot vacuum for at least six hours before first use, as described in the manual. While the robot vacuum was charging, I installed the Eureka App, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Network pairing was straightforward, and my house has good wireless coverage, so this step was hassle-free.

After finishing the app setup, the next task was to clear any excess obstacles inside the house to help the robot vacuum create a map. With two young kids, potential obstacles like basketballs, dolls, books, and shoes not on the shoe rack needed to be cleared manually.

Cleaning Performance

Operating the Eureka E10s is a breeze – simply press the power button on the unit to start cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it runs quieter than my Dyson vacuum cleaner, making it less disruptive during use.

What is even more brilliant is that the Eureka E10s app lets me schedule the best time to clean my house. I set my schedule to clean when nobody is at home. Since I work mostly remotely, I can set the robot vacuum to clean while I’m away for a gym session.

What I love about the Eureka E10s is the large docking suction station, which can hold debris from multiple cleaning runs. Since my house is a single-story home with three bedrooms, I don’t need to empty the bin after every run. Plus, the Eureka E10s has a bag-free vacuum bin, so there’s no need to buy disposable vacuum bags.

The Eureka E10s is equipped with a LiDAR sensor. With the map drawn during the initial setup, the robot vacuum is smart enough to avoid items my kids forget to tidy up, such as shoes or backpacks on the floor.

The Eureka E10s truly shines when it comes to its cleaning prowess. With a powerful suction of 4,000 Pa, this robot vacuum effortlessly removes hair, dirt, dust, and other contaminants throughout your home.

One of the features I found particularly useful is the robot’s four suction levels. This versatility allows you to tailor the cleaning intensity to your needs. What’s more, the E10s is smart enough to automatically boost suction when it detects carpets, ensuring a deep clean across different floor types. In my experience, this resulted in noticeably cleaner floors, whether dealing with everyday dust or more challenging messes.

The combination of strong suction power and intelligent features means the E10s delivers a thorough clean without requiring multiple passes over the same area. This efficiency not only saves time but also extends the robot’s battery life, allowing it to cover more ground in a single cleaning session. Cleaning works on carpet, wood, marble, tiles, you name it.

An also particularly impressive feature is the auto mop-raising function, which allows for seamless transitions between vacuuming and mopping. This intelligent design ensures that your carpets stay dry when the robot moves from hard floors to carpeted areas, eliminating the need for manual intervention or separate cleaning sessions for different floor types.

Eureka E10s claims a runtime of around 180 minutes but this depends on the mode you select for cleaning. According to the Eureka Testing Lab data we’ve got, it should be able to run around 170 minutes in Quiet mode, 150 hours in Soft mode, 110 hours in Standard mode, and 100 hours in Strong mode.

Eureka E10s Review – Final Thoughts

Has the Eureka E10s made my trusty Dyson obsolete? Not quite. I’ve found that these two cleaning systems complement each other well. The Eureka E10s efficiently handles routine cleaning, freeing me up to focus on areas that require manual intervention, such as those tricky spaces under the sofa.

With a price tag of A$1,099 MSRP, the Eureka E10s represents a significant investment in home cleaning technology. It’s available on Amazon, and at the time of writing, there’s a Prime event offering additional savings for half the price. The average price for the Eureka E10s typically ranges from AU$699 to AU$799 during sales and major events, so it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on before making a purchase.

In conclusion, the Eureka E10s proves to be a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly robot vacuum that can significantly streamline your cleaning routine. While it may not completely replace traditional vacuum cleaners, it certainly makes maintaining a clean home much less of a chore. If you’re in the market for a smart cleaning solution that can adapt to your lifestyle, the Eureka E10s is definitely worth considering.
