Eufy’s new X9 Pro Robovac offers automated mopping and vacuuming for less than $1,000

By Jon Bitner Published June 14, 2023

There’s been no shortage of robot vacuum launches of late, and it seems Eufy isn’t going to miss out on the fun. Following hot on the heels of Ecovacs and Roborock, Eufy is releasing the X9 Pro Robovac on June 29. But unlike the competition, the X9 Pro will offer mopping and vacuuming skills for less than $1,000.

The X9 Pro will be available for just $899, yet offers many of the features found on products that sell for twice its price. This includes 5,500 Pa of suction, the ability to raise its mop a full 12mm when traveling on carpet, and a base station that can clean and dry the robot after each cycle. That’s an impressive list of features, especially when you consider the price tag.

Many of these features are due to the new Hands-Free MopMaster system, which allows the robot to automatically detect the type of surface it’s traveling on and adjust its cleaning methods as necessary. According to Eufy, the X9 Pro is powerful enough to mop up crayon marks, food stains, and everything in-between. It’ll also use Eufy’s AI.See feature to navigate around your home and avoid any obstacles in its path.

The X9 Pro Robovac wasn’t the only smart home news revealed by Eufy during its RE Charge event, as the company also announced that the HomeBase 3 is now fully compatible with the Video Doorbell Dual and Video Smart Lock. HomeBase 3 serves as the hub for a variety of Eufy products, and it’s great to see its features expanded to two of the most popular products in the Eufy catalog.

Further HomeBase 3 support is expected to roll out throughout 2023, with more floodlights, indoor cameras, and outdoor cameras gaining compatibility in the coming months. For more details on HomeBase 3 support, check out the official website.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vs. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra: Which is the best robot vacuum?

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra share a lot of similarities -- the least of which is their brand name. Along with the capacity to vacuum and mop in a single cleaning cycle, the two robots can automatically empty their dustbins and clean their dirty mops once the cycle is complete. That alone makes them two of the best robot vacuums on the market.

But while there are plenty of similarities between the S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Pro Ultra, there are a few key differences that could make one better for your home than the other. From pricing and vacuuming power to navigational skills and more, here's a comprehensive look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra.

Eureka shows off an innovative robot vacuum with a belt mopping system at CES 2024

When it comes to robot vacuums and mops, most models employ one of two methods to clean your floors -- a vibrating mop plate or spinning mop pads. Eureka is doing things a bit differently this year, as the team revealed the J20 Robotic Vacuum and Floor Washer at CES 2024, which uses an innovative new belt mop design.

The so-called RollRenew mopping system features a cycling belt mop, a dual water tank, and five water nozzles. As the robot rolls its mop across your floors, the nozzles will continuously spray water, cleaning up stains and soaking up spills. The dirty portion of the mop is then cleaned by a scraper located under the robot, forcing the dirty water into a wastewater reservoir.
