Between upgraded features and inflation, new models often run into the four figures.
It's not to say that those vacuums aren't worth it; they're often capable of impressive tasks, such as spotting stains , lifting themselves over obstacles, and even climbing stairs .
But if you're just looking for a basic, high-quality robot vacuum and mop that won't cost you a month's rent, Eufy's latest model is here to help.
Here at WIRED, we've been fans of Eufy's older 2024 robot vacuum , the X10 Pro Omni , for its solid range of features at an affordable price.
But you don't need to buy the older model anymore.
Eufy launched the Omni C28 at the end of February, and it'll only cost you a little bit more to get better suction and a new mop style.
It's a great, fresh update to the affordable robot vacuum-and-mop combo, and it does a good job on all kinds of flooring and across multiple floors in your home.

It packs a self-cleaning roller mop, retractable detangling brushes, and nearly double the suction power (15,000 Pa vs.
8,000 Pa), while costing just $100 more than the older X10 Pro Omni .
Where the X10 Pro Omni had rotating mop pads, the rolling mop pad on the Omni C28 continuously self-cleans to prevent spreading dirt or grime to other parts of the house.
Both apply downward pressure, but neither can spot dirtier places on their own as pricier, AI-powered robot vacuums will .
Still, I was happy to see that it was able to scrub away some of the large dirt smudges in my entryway, though it didn't get all of them.
It also didn't manage to scrub away all of the cherry juice I intentionally spilled in my routine mess setup for robot vacuum testing , even after sending the vacuum to do a second mopping job on one of the spots.
