T3 Verdict

The Eufy Omni E25 combines a strong cleaning performance with useful automation, meaning you spend far less time maintaining it compared to more basic models. Whilst it’s not the most flexible option for homes with a lot of mixed flooring, it absolutely excels in spaces dominated by hard floors, where its mopping system and edge cleaning really stand out. It might not tick every advanced feature box, but for the price, it gets a huge amount right.

The best robot vacuum cleaners are getting more advanced by the day, but they’re also getting very expensive. That’s why models like the Eufy Omni E25 feel particularly interesting, especially when they promise a near hands-free cleaning experience without quite hitting those higher price points.

Having spent time testing it properly since its launch last year, it’s clear that the Omni E25 is designed to take as much effort out of cleaning as possible. The real question is whether it strikes the right balance between performance, automation and value – and more importantly, whether it’s the right fit for your home.

Price and availability

The Eufy Omni E25 has an RRP of £849, placing it just below the slightly more advanced Omni E28. It’s available directly from Eufy’s online store as well as Amazon.

At the time of writing, there’s a good deal running, bringing it down to just £599 with a discount code. Take a look below:

Unboxing and set up

I initially found the Omni E25 to be rather substantial, mainly thanks to the all-in-one station. However, thankfully most of it came pre-assembled. Inside, everything is neatly organised – you’ve got the robot itself, side brushes, mop components, cleaning solution and a few extras, all laid out clearly.

Setting up entailed slotting in the clean and dirty water tanks, filling them up, and finding a suitable spot with enough clearance for the robot to dock properly. It’s worth thinking about placement beforehand, as this isn’t a small unit you can just squeeze into a corner. There’s also dedicated slot behind the clean water tank for Eufy’s detergent solution, which comes included – something that's not always the case with other brands. However, the bottle isn’t refillable, so you’ll need to replace and recycle it once it runs out.

Once the station is sorted, the robot itself is very simple to get going. You clip on the side brush, attach the mop module if needed, remove the packaging, and then it’s all about the app. Pairing through the Eufy Clean app is quick and guided step-by-step, covering Wi-Fi setup, naming your device and setting initial preferences.

The Omni E25 then heads out to map your home using its LiDAR system, which was surprisingly fast and accurate. From there, you can divide rooms, set no-go zones and adjust cleaning settings in the app. Even if you’re new to robot vacuums, it’s all very easy to get your head around.

Design and features

In terms of design, the robot itself looks and feels premium, with a relatively low profile that helps it get under furniture with ease. It combines vacuuming and mopping in one unit, using a rolling mop system rather than flat pads, paired with Eufy’s HydroJet system. This continuously cleans the mop as it works – spinning, rinsing and applying pressure to the floor – so you’re not just dragging dirt around.

Suction power comes in at 20,000Pa, which is still very strong, even if some newer models are pushing higher numbers now. That’s backed up by the DuoSpiral brush system, which uses twin rollers to guide hair into the suction path whilst helping prevent tangles.

Edge cleaning is another highlight, with Eufy’s CornerRover extending arm reaching out to clean along skirting boards and into corners, which are usually weak spots for robot vacuums. Navigation is handled by a combination of LiDAR and an RGB camera, allowing the Omni E25 to map accurately, avoid obstacles and recognise objects in its path.

As you’d expect from Eufy, the all-in-one station handles almost everything automatically, including emptying the dustbin, refilling the water tank, collecting dirty water, washing and drying the mop with warm air, and even dispensing detergent when needed.

As mentioned, it’s a fairly large unit, but that’s because it houses everything, including the three-litre dust bag which only needs replacing roughly every 75 days. One small design detail I really like is that the clean water tank sits externally on the side rather than being fully enclosed, which looks nice and makes it easier to access too.

The mop also automatically lifts when carpets are detected, and the robot adjusts suction and water levels depending on floor type. You’ve got a good range of customisation options in the app, including three suction levels, three water levels, standard or deep cleaning modes, and the option for one or two passes.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Omni E25 has been very impressive. Suction is strong across both carpet and hard floors, edge cleaning is excellent, and importantly, there were no streaks left behind on my vinyl flooring. You can also tell the mop is staying clean over time, which really speaks to how effective the self-cleaning system is.

There are a few limitations worth keeping in mind, depending on how you plan to use it. You can choose between vacuum-only or a combined vacuum-and-mop clean, but there’s no standalone mop mode. You also can’t set it to vacuum first and then mop in a single run. For some people that won’t matter, but if you like a more tailored cleaning sequence, it does feel a little restrictive.

The mop system itself also has its constraints. Whilst it does lift when carpets are detected, it only raises slightly and can’t be removed automatically by the dock. That means if your home has a lot of mixed flooring, it’s not quite as adaptable as some of the more premium models that can fully detach or swap out mop pads, such as the Dreame Matrix10 Ultra.

However, I did find its battery life to be a strong point. On a full clean, it dropped from 100% to around 75%, then topped itself back up to full in roughly 20 minutes. This is significantly higher than some other models at a similar price point, which is great to see.

Verdict

The Eufy Omni E25 combines a strong cleaning performance with useful automation, meaning you spend far less time maintaining it compared to more basic models. Whilst it’s not the most flexible option for homes with a lot of mixed flooring, it absolutely excels in spaces dominated by hard floors, where its mopping system and edge cleaning really stand out. It might not tick every advanced feature box, but for the price, it gets a huge amount right.

Alternatives to consider

If you want to aim a bit higher, consider the Dreame Matrix10 Ultra. It has a very impressive 30,000Pa suction and one of the most advanced docking systems around, including hot water mop washing and even automated mop swapping depending on floor type. That makes it especially good for larger homes or spaces with a mix of surfaces, as it can intelligently adapt without you stepping in.

On the other hand, the Eufy Omni C28 is a much more accessible alternative that still delivers a lot of the same convenience features. You still get an all-in-one station for emptying and mop maintenance, but in a more compact and affordable package.
