The Eufy E28 robot vacuum just received a good-sized price cut and now sits at $699.99, down from a list price of $999.99, for a 30% discount that puts this top-of-the-line cleaner into far more competitive territory.
It’s not just the savings that make it a standout, but also the fact that its dock conceals a removable spot-cleaning unit — effectively making one purchase two products in one: your entire-home robot plus a portable deep cleaner for carpets, stairs, and upholstery.
Why this deal is so good for a two-in-one robot vacuum
Today, many high-end robot vacuums mop, auto-empty, and refill their water tanks, but they can’t climb stairs or tackle a spill on the couch. That gap is solved by the E28’s FlexiOne deep cleaner, which resides inside of the base. When the robot can’t reach, you remove the handheld unit to address set-in stains, pet messes, or fabric spills — tasks that might otherwise have required a second purchase and storage of another device.
In practice, that two-in-one strategy accounts for a real-world pattern: whole-home upkeep broken up by stubborn problem areas. The E28 is able to consolidate two tools into one footprint instead of attending to a robot and a separate spot extractor. It’s a rare mix in this category and a big reason the discounted price lands with added intrigue.
Key specs and performance in the real world
The E28 is rated by Eufy at up to 20,000 Pa of suction, an aggressive number even for more premium models. Just as with any manufacturer’s suction claims, what determines whether this is good enough for you will depend on more than just one slice of the overall pie and, to varying degrees, between mixed floors and heavy carpet where cheaper vacs have issues. A CornerRover arm extends to cover edges better than most, and DuoSpiral anti-tangle brushes are built to obviate snarled pet fur and long hair — two of the biggest vexations for users of robot vacs.
The mop design is equally ambitious. The E28’s real-time self-laundering roller mops itself at about six scrubs per second to cut down on redepositing grime as it cleans. The dock takes care of auto-emptying debris and auto-refilling clean water, so the day-to-day maintenance is reduced to refills on consumables and a rinse down now and then. There’s also support for voice and app control; however, be aware that setup needs a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network. If your router bundles the bands under one SSID, you might need to temporarily uncouple them or turn on 2.4 GHz pairing.
For value, the on-sale E28 is now in a price point shared by sale-period discounts on competitors such as the Roborock Q Revo or certain Ecovacs and Dreame “Ultra” docks. Those competitors have strong cleaning and automated maintenance, but the E28’s built-in handheld deep cleaner is what sets it apart. And if you were in the market for a different spot extractor — which tends to run $100 to $200 — the all-in-one approach could save you some cash and space.
Who will benefit most from this two-in-one cleaning system
Households with pets, carpeting, and mixed flooring types are likely to make the biggest gains. The strong suction and anti-tangle hardware are designed to pull messes off carpets without getting all tangled up on the brush roll. The detachable cleaner is a boon for those in multistory homes with carpeted staircases, or for anyone who faces occasional spills on sofas, car mats, and even dog beds. If you live in a small apartment with hard floors and no pets, you may be able to get away with a more basic robot mop-vac — but then you’d have to deal with the inconvenience of not having an on-demand spot cleaner.
Noise-sensitive users should be aware that the self-empty and mop-wash cycles can be much louder than regular vacuuming — a criticism applicable to almost all robots with more advanced docks. Even better: schedule those maintenance runs during the day, or while you’re out. You’ll want to measure space for the base station itself; combo docks are bulkier than regular auto-empty bases.
Price context and buying advice for the Eufy E28 robot vacuum
A savings of $300 means the E28’s feature set comes at a pretty aggressive price point for an all-in-one system. Premium docks with wash, dry, empty, and refill have generally hovered at or over $1,000 — during seasonal promotions is roughly when they become within financial reach. Some frequently cited retail trackers report that demand for small appliances gains steam during big sales events, so well-liked editions can sell out quickly.
If you’ve been holding out for the luxury robot that can also do spot jobs without yet another appliance taking up space in your closet, this is an easy pick. The E28’s powerful suction, no-tangle design, and edge-cleaning concentration, along with an actually useful base station, mean that the gap in price from a 30% discount is not merely a nice-to-have but makes stepping up to a premium ecosystem into a real-world relevant daily upgrade.
