Battle of the Robots: Eufy 3-in-1 E20 vs. Eufy S1 Pro

"Two robot vacuums enter, both emerge victorious!"
Battle of the Robots: Eufy 3-in-1 E20 vs. Eufy S1 Pro

Right, lads. Let’s talk robot cleaners. If you’ve ever stood in the aisle of Currys, staring at a wall of futuristic-looking vacuums, wondering which one will finally make your missus stop nagging about the state of the floors – I’ve been there.

I tested two absolute powerhouses from eufy: the 3-in-1 E20 and the S1 Pro. Both promise to take the hassle out of floor cleaning, but do they deliver? I put them to the test in my very normal, very lived-in home – complete with a wife who notices every missed crumb and a dog who sheds like it’s his life’s purpose.

Round One: Setup and First Impressions

Straight out of the box, the E20 is like a Swiss Army knife of vacuums – a robot, a stick vacuum, and a handheld all in one. I was instantly impressed by how quickly it charged (40% faster than standard), meaning I could get cracking sooner rather than later.

The S1 Pro, on the other hand, looks and feels premium – proper sci-fi stuff. It comes with a UniClean Station, which self-cleans, empties, refills, and even sterilises itself with ozone (whatever that is, but it sounds fancy). The setup was easy, and within minutes, it was mapping out my house like some high-tech MI6 gadget.

Round Two: The Cleaning Test

Eufy 3-in-1 E20 – The Ultimate All-Rounder

First up, the E20. This thing packs 30,000Pa of suction power, which – if you don’t speak vacuum – means it could probably suck the soul out of your carpet. The stick vac mode was a dream for quick cleanups, while the handheld made short work of dog hair on the sofa.

The real magic happened when I set it loose in robot mode. With 8,000Pa suction, it tackled daily dirt and dog fur effortlessly. The Pro-Detangle Comb™ was a lifesaver, reversing itself to clear out any hair wrapped around the brush – something that’s been the bane of every vacuum I’ve ever owned.

And the best part? It empties itself. I watched it return to base, chuck out the dirt, and get back to work without me lifting a finger. Beautiful.

Eufy S1 Pro – The Mop Monster

Now, onto the S1 Pro. If the E20 is a Swiss Army knife, this is a James Bond gadget in a tuxedo. The standout feature? The TurboWash Roller Mop. It doesn’t just wipe your floors – it scrubs them like an angry pub landlord cleaning up after closing time. It actually mimics human scrubbing motion, and let me tell you, it showed. My kitchen floor was gleaming.

The Eco-Clean Ozone™ feature is mental – it uses tap water to create ozone that sanitises both the floor and the mop. As a dad who’s stepped in unidentifiable sticky substances one too many times, I was seriously impressed. No cross-contamination, no lingering grime – just proper deep cleaning.

And the UniClean Station? Genius. The S1 Pro empties itself, washes itself, dries itself, and even sterilises itself. I could genuinely go months without touching it, which means more time watching the footy and less time wrestling with a mop.

Round Three: The Verdict

I’ll be honest: choosing between these two is impossible because they serve different purposes.

  • The E20 is the ultimate all-rounder. If you want a robot vac that also doubles as a handheld and a stick vac, this is your guy. It’s perfect for homes with carpets, rugs, and pets, and its self-emptying function makes it practically maintenance-free.

  • The S1 Pro is for people who want the next level in cleaning tech. If your home has a lot of hard floors and you’re serious about deep cleaning and sanitisation, it’s worth every penny. The mop function is unreal, and the UniClean Station means you never have to worry about emptying or cleaning it yourself.

So, which one wins? Both.

If you’re a married bloke trying to get a robot vacuum that will impress your wife and save you hours of cleaning, either of these will do the trick.

The real winner? Me, because I’ve officially retired from vacuuming.
