Eureka is responsible for some of the best robot vacuums on the market, and its lineup has grown even more exciting with the reveal of the Eureka J15 Max Ultra at CES 2025 . Capable of producing a staggering 22,000 Pa of suction and loaded with unique new mopping features, it’s poised to become one of the most versatile robot vacuums of the year.

The J15 Max Ultra builds on the success of last year’s J15 Pro Ultra, which offered cool features like FlexiRazer technology to cut through tangles and a self-cleaning base station to reduce manual maintenance tasks. Now, the J15 Max Ultra is upgrading its vision sensor technology — ensuring it mops better than anything else in the Eureka lineup. Dubbed “IntelliView AI 2.0,” the detection capabilities of the J15 Max Ultra are now sophisticated enough to detect transparent liquids for an improved mopping experience.

Like the J15 Pro Ultra before it, the J15 Max Ultra will rotate its body when encountering a spill to tackle it with its mopping pads instead of its vacuum brushes. Even better, its detection system now uses an infrared vision system and FHD vision sensor, allowing it to pick up transparent spills that were previously missed by its predecessor.

That should make the J15 Max Ultra a better match for spilled water or wet boots in your entryway, ensuring all liquids are properly cleaned without wetting its brushes.

Other notable features include an extendable spinning mop and side brush that can reach away from the robot’s body to better clean near baseboards, a new DragonClaw side brush design that better resists tangles, and improved suction power of 22,000 Pa (compared to 16,200 Pa of the J15 Pro Ultra). Of course, you’ll also get a base station that empties its dustbin and cleans its mops automatically, making the J15 Max Ultra a well-rounded robot.

The Eureka J15 Max Ultra will launch globally in June. Expect to learn more about pricing details in the coming weeks.

Beatbot reveals futuristic AquaSense 2 Series pool cleaners at CES 2025
Beatbot AquaSense 2

The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Narwal debuts innovative robot vacuum with new mop-cleaning functionality at CES 2025
Narwal Flow

Narwal is responsible for some of our favorite robot vacuums, including the premium Narwal Freo Z Ultra, which features a modern aesthetic and ultra-quiet operation. The company’s track record of innovation continued at CES 2025 with the reveal of the Narwal Flow -- an upcoming robot vacuum built with a powerful new mopping system.

The Narwal Flow employs a new type of mopping system (dubbed the FlowWash Mopping System) that actively cleans its rolling mopping plate as it's cleaning your floors. This ensures you won’t be tracking dirty mops across the ground and should result in a better overall cleaning experience. The robot is equipped with both a clean and dirty water tank, allowing it to extract dirty water from the mop while simultaneously rewetting it. This allows the mop to remain in excellent condition without needing to head back to the docking station for self-cleaning.

Tineco shows off three new ways to vacuum, steam, and clean your floors at CES 2025
Tineco Pure One Station Five

Tineco showcased three products at CES 2025, giving you three fancy new ways to vacuum, steam, and clean your floors. The Floor One S9 Artist Steam was the highlight of the trio, as it can produce steam to tackle tough stains, features a lay-flat design, and will automatically adjust its settings to best deal with the challenge at hand.

The Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam was designed to streamline all aspects of your floor cleaning chores. It produces steam (which hits temperatures up to 264 degrees Fahrenheit) to  quickly remove common stains produced by ketchup, chocolate syrup, pasta, and other household hazards, It can also lay flat to reduce its height to less than 13 centimeters -- giving you a chance to reach under furniture where larger cleaners can't fit. Along with automatically changing settings based on the dirt levels detected by its sensors, it benefits from Aurora AI Lights that change color dynamically depending on the cleaning status.
