It is designed to look just like a desk. automated vacuum cleaner is also the only robot we've tested with an onboard reservoir that automatically washes and refills the cleaning pads after each vacuum and mopping cycle.
The mopping arm sits unobtrusively on top of the unit until it detects hard floors, and then it lowers to begin scrubbing. It moves slowly and carefully over surfaces to ensure that it doesn't accidentally spill wet spills or mud on carpeted areas. It does a great job of staying out of the path of furniture, cords, and other obstacles.
It's smarter than the majority of robot vacuums, too thanks to the iRobot Home app, which allows you to modify your cleaner's settings, prioritize rooms by dirtiness, set cleaning times and schedules and more. The app also offers detailed maps of your home, seasonal recommendations, custom cleaning routines, and a variety of smart-home integrations that are easy to use.

A dock sensor detects the moment a mop pad gets dirty and initiates a wash cycle.
The S8 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessors, has an intelligent system that can recognize things that are commonplace, like shoes and pet waste by using a combination of a camera and LIDAR. It was a great performer in our test of obstacle avoidance and had only one issue in my testing (it was stuck when in unwinding a ball of wool that was wrapped around its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra boasts a new suction power of 10,000pa. power, more than double its predecessor. This makes it a good choice for homes with lots of carpet and a mix of floor kinds. The vacuum can be programmed to automatically increase suction when it moves over crumbs or dust.
Similar to previous models, there are docking stations that can be placed in different rooms to help automate the process of cleaning and mopping. The docking station can be connected to the plumbing system and drain and replenish the tank of water when you're done.

You can also set virtual boundaries as well as no-go zones or no-mop zones in case there's something you don't want the robot to get into.
The S1 Pro does a great job of removing messes from hard floors due to its rotating mop head, which puts 2.2lbs (1kg) of downward pressure on the floor. Its ability both to mop and vacuum makes it a great option for homes with floors of both types. However, its dependence on Eufy cleaning products (which are included in the box) could make it less adaptable than other robots which allow you to add your own cleaning products.
