Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: design and workmanship

The eufy HydroJet S2 resembles its predecessors Eufy S1 (Review | € 719.00 *) and Eufy S1 Pro (Review | € 999.00 *) like an egg to a different. Accordingly, the Anker subsidiary’s newest robotic vacuum can also be visually very completely different from the trade customary. This begins with the robotic hoover itself. It just isn’t round, however relatively a sq. with rounded corners.

On the highest, behind the corporate brand, there’s an LED mild ring that signifies the standing of the robotic. Just under that is the management bar with two bodily buttons. This is the place the Robo might be began and stopped or despatched again to the station. One visible change in comparison with its predecessor is the duvet plate on the highest. This is barely clear and supplies a view of the internal workings.

If you take away the plate, you may entry the mud container, amongst different issues. This differs considerably from its predecessor and jogs my memory extra of the Eufy Robot Vacuum Cleaner 3-in-1 E20 (Review | € 278.99 *). There can also be a small recess right here, which has area for a brand new characteristic. The S2 can journey via your house as a strolling perfume freshener.

You then merely insert the fragrance pads within the acceptable place. The charging contacts and tank nozzles for the interior water tank are positioned on the again. The digital camera know-how for impediment detection and sensors for navigating the good family helper are positioned on the entrance. Turning the Robo the other way up reveals the big mopping curler.

This can now be prolonged – a decisive benefit over its predecessor. We can even see the absolutely rubberized major brush right here. This is now divided into two components, which we all know from rivals such because the Roborock Saros 10R (Review | € 899.00 *) and its DuoDivide brush. We can even see the 2 facet brushes right here.

In distinction to its predecessor, one of many two facet brushes can now be prolonged, which ought to profit nook cleansing. The housing itself now makes use of an thrilling hydraulic system, which permits the Robo to elevate its housing, enabling it to beat obstacles as much as 4.2 cm excessive. Some rivals such because the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete (Review | € 899.00 *) are extra keen to climb.

The useful companion of the Eufy S2 Hydrojet is the UniClean Station. This comes within the acquainted pillar form that we already know from its predecessor. The contemporary and soiled water tanks are positioned within the higher part. The contemporary water tank has an ozone-based water therapy system. We know this from the S1 Pro. There can also be a small management unit on the highest, which permits the Robo to be managed in a rudimentary means with out having to bend down.

However, the S2 additionally has a mini display screen that illustrates the robotic’s present job. There is a sensible flap below the contemporary water tank, below which the robotic’s mud bag is hidden. The insert for the cleansing answer can also be positioned right here. In the decrease space, we discover the washing and suction space the place the mopping curler is completely cleaned and the collected grime is sucked out of the interior mud container.

Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: Setup with the Eufy app

Setting up is youngster’s play. Once you could have discovered an appropriate set up place for the good family helper, all it’s a must to do is join the UniClean Station to the socket utilizing the suitable energy plug. Now place the robotic hoover within the charging station and also you’re able to go. Now take out your smartphone and obtain the eufy app for iOS or Android. Add the S2 as a brand new system right here.

Thanks to sensible step-by-step directions within the app, the next setup is fast and straightforward. Then it’s time for the primary mapping. You begin this by urgent a button within the app. After a couple of minutes, it’s performed and you’ll view the ultimate consequence within the app. If you need to make adjustments, you can also make changes immediately. But ease of use just isn’t solely evident throughout setup. The app can also be spectacular relating to operation.

Everything is clearly laid out and even newcomers ought to have the ability to discover their means round right away. The setting choices are various, however not overwhelming. For instance, restricted areas or invisible partitions might be outlined within the app. You can even alter the suction and mopping depth. Cleaning schedules be certain that the robotic vacuum goes on a completely automated cleansing tour. You can even alter parameters for the UniClean station, such because the drying time.

Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: Navigation and impediment detection

The eufy Hydrojet S2 does with out a LiDAR tower however nonetheless guarantees dependable 3D mapping. At its coronary heart is the CleanMind AI navigation system. And in observe, the plan works. It not solely supplies an in depth map. On high of that, the good family helper systematically scans rooms. Once the perimeter space has been lined, the inside space follows. Here, the robotic sweeps the ground in parallel paths.

3D Matrix 2.0 is designed to make sure dependable impediment detection. The first technology of digital camera know-how with subsequent AI analysis already shone in its predecessor. In the second technology of 3D Matrix, the system has been considerably improved as soon as once more. The robotic ought to have the ability to acknowledge over 200 completely different objects. Even the smallest obstacles shouldn’t be an issue. Eufy claims that objects as small as 1.0 × 0.5 × 0.5 cm might be reliably detected. In observe, the system did an excellent job, however not an impressive one.

For instance, the S2 averted even complicated obstacles akin to carpet fringes or skinny cables. However, very small obstacles had been usually neglected and pushed over. Some rivals are additionally noticeably quicker. For instance, the DJI ROMO P (Review | € 1,499.00 *). But 3D Matrix Eye 2.0 not solely detects obstacles, it may possibly additionally differentiate between varieties of grime. If it detects damp grime, it raises the facet brush and lowers the mopping curler.

Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: suction energy

The Eufy S2 affords a powerful suction energy of a whopping 30,000 pascals, placing it in the identical league because the actually massive robotic hoovers. It was capable of switch this spectacular energy to the ground fairly effectively in observe. For the take a look at, I had it vacuum a mix of oat flakes, espresso beans and rice grains from varied flooring. On the laborious ground, it collected 93% of the grime.

The outcomes on carpets had been equally good. The good family helper achieved 89% on short-pile carpets. Slightly extra remained on the long-pile carpet. Here it was capable of vacuum up 85%. The efficiency of the facet brushes was convincing The eufy was capable of rating factors with superb nook cleansing, which it naturally owes to its extendable facet brush.

The DuoSpiral major brush ought to put a smile on pet homeowners’ faces. This prevents tangled hair due to its two-part design. If hair winds up on the comb, it’s merely rotated to the middle, the place it’s reliably sucked up. An actual spotlight and improve in comparison with its predecessor is the brand new cyclone separation know-how.

This not solely ensures you can watch the Robo at work in the course of the vacuuming course of due to the clear cowl. On high of this, eufy depends on a maintenance-free filter idea. Dust and grime are reliably separated in order that solely clear air reaches the filter. This prevents it from clogging, which suggests it solely must be serviced annually and ensures persistently highly effective suction efficiency.

Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: mopping efficiency

When it involves mopping, expertise has proven that robotic vacuum cleaners with a mopping curler have the sting over fashions with mopping pads. And the eufy S2 can also be convincing on this self-discipline. The mopping curler exerts a strain of 15N on the ground, which corresponds to round 1.5 kg, and is continually moistened with contemporary water by way of 32 water nozzles.

Two squeegee lips in flip completely wipe the grime off the curler. The soiled water then results in the robotic’s soiled water tank. Thanks to a width of 29 cm, the mopping curler works very effectively because it covers a big space. It might be prolonged by 15 mm in order that it may possibly additionally present complete cleansing across the edges.

Although sizzling water just isn’t used, eufy guarantees that the water handled within the UniClean station’s contemporary water tank will present antibacterial cleansing. But what does it seem like in observe? I let the eufy HydroJet S2 take away just a few cussed stains. Jam and ketchup had been no downside for the good family helper.

And even after intensive drying, it was capable of take away the stains fairly effectively. It was then capable of showcase its strengths on the espresso puddle I had spilt. Thanks to the wiping curler, it merely sucked it up and the espresso ended up within the inner soiled water tank.

Unfortunately, the interior soiled water tank was overflowing, which is why a small trickle of espresso poured out over the doorway to the station when it entered the cleansing station. This ought to really be prevented by acceptable sensors. If the soiled water tank is full, it first has to enter the station to be emptied once more. Hopefully Anker will repair this downside with updates.

Eufy HydroJet S2 take a look at: Cleaning station

The UniClean station lives as much as its title and takes care of just about all the pieces regarding the upkeep of the robotic hoover. On the one hand, the interior mud container of the robotic hoover is vacuumed, which is admittedly extraordinarily loud. Secondly, the mopping curler is cleaned extensively. Hot water at as much as 60°C is used for self-cleaning. This successfully combats micro organism, however some rivals already work with considerably greater temperatures.

This is how a Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro (Review | € 999.00 *) cleans its mop pads with water heated as much as 100°C. This could also be necessary for cussed grease stains, however 60°C is completely satisfactory for successfully combating micro organism and regular grease stains. The clever grime detection within the station can also be actually good. When cleansing the curler, the diploma of soiling is analyzed and the cleansing course of is repeated if mandatory.

Hot water cleansing is adopted by sizzling air drying with 55°C sizzling air. Another thrilling characteristic is the water electrolysis that takes place within the station’s contemporary water tank. This ensures that the water is 99.99% freed from micro organism. This guarantees antibacterial cleansing of the flooring. In view of the great faucet water high quality on this nation, that is extra of a gimmick, nevertheless it nonetheless seems to be cool.

The automated addition of detergent also needs to be highlighted as a optimistic characteristic. The station not solely refills the robotic’s inner contemporary water tank with the beforehand cleaned contemporary water. It additionally provides detergent to the water, which ought to make ground cleansing much more efficient. Last however not least, the station additionally vacuums the collected soiled water from the corresponding inner water tank.

Test outcomes

Conclusion

The eufy HydroJet S2 is a profitable additional improvement of the S1 collection and is clearly positioned within the higher class of contemporary robotic hoovers. With 30,000 Pascal suction energy, a really efficient mopping curler and improved navigation, it delivers convincing outcomes each when vacuuming and mopping. The highly effective mopping efficiency, good nook cleansing and low-maintenance brush and filter know-how are notably spectacular. Thanks to dependable camera-based navigation, good impediment detection and the great UniClean station, the S2 affords a excessive automation and comfort issue.

Another actually cool thought is the small fragrance pads, which actually do present an excellent room perfume in observe. Small weaknesses such because the comparatively average cleansing temperature of the station are hardly a difficulty in on a regular basis use. However, there are nonetheless some minor teething troubles, such because the sluggish velocity when encountering obstacles or the chance of an overfilled inner soiled water tank, which tarnish the general image just a little. Overall, the eufy HydroJet S2 remains to be value a glance in case you are on the lookout for a brand new flagship-class robotic vacuum cleaner.
