Who wants legs? Eufy, Anker’s good house model, believes it has solved the issue of how a single robotic vacuum can clear a number of flooring in your house. Its new MarsWalker robotic is supplied with 4 arms to hold a vacuum between ranges, so that you don’t should lug it up the steps your self or purchase a robotic for every flooring. Nonetheless, you’ve now obtained two robots, so maybe it’s probably not fixing that downside.
Outfitted with a drive-track system, the MarsWalker acts like a stairlift on your robotic vacuum. The vacuum docks within the MarsWalker, which carries it to the following flooring utilizing 4 independently managed arms. From there, the vacuum exits to renew cleansing or head to its base station to scrub its mop, empty its bin, or recharge.
Eufy says the MarsWalker can deal with straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped stairs and builds a 3D map of your house to know the place the vacuum must go. It’s a standalone unit with its personal charging base, and the corporate says it’s going to work with a number of fashions of Eufy robotic vacuums, though actual specs and compatibility haven’t been launched. It’s slated to launch within the spring of 2026, however no pricing has been introduced.
One suitable mannequin would be the new Eufy RoboVac Omni S2, which can be on present at IFA. Resulting from launch within the US in January for $1,599, the S2 is an upgraded model of the Eufy S1 Professional.
The S2 options a big, self-cleaning curler mop, 30,000Pa suction energy, 3.3lbs of downward mopping stress, and may prolong its mop out as much as 15mm to scrub alongside baseboards. It has a brand new DuoSpiral brush to stop tangling, whereas improved impediment detection allows the vacuum to keep away from rug tassels in addition to over 200 different objects. It may possibly additionally elevate its mop as much as 2 inches to keep away from getting carpets moist.
It additionally incorporates a built-in perfume system that releases numerous scents whereas cleansing, together with citrus, basil, bergamot, and lychee. The futuristic cleansing station mechanically empties the bin, washes and dries the mop, and refills the onboard water tank.
