Find Out Why Everyone Is Raving About Eureka's New E20 Plus Robot Vac

According to the American Cleaning Institute, vacuuming and mopping floors is one of the most important cleaning tasks in your home, especially when it comes to reducing allergy and asthma triggers. Even if you aren't too worried about your household's air quality, stepping in a sticky spot or a pile of crumbs is enough to put anyone in a sour mood. Even so, cleaning floors is still one of the most dreaded and time-consuming household chores, leading many of us to procrastinate on this tedious task. Luckily, you're alive in the 21st century, a time when ingenious companies like Eureka aim to make every part of daily life a little bit easier. Founded in Detroit in 1909, Eureka has been at the forefront of cleaning product designs for over 100 years, and they're no stranger to innovative technology events. At the 2024 IFA event in Berlin, Eureka launched their new E20 Plus, a robotic cleaning vacuum that features some major improvements to their already successful E10 model, which launched in 2023.

Users adored Eureka's E10 robotic vacuum, but when they offered some suggestions about improving navigation, anti-tangling, and smartphone app features, Eureka wasted no time in hearing and implementing their customers' ideas. After incorporating these key changes, the Eureka E20 Plus shined at IFA, and this vacuum just keeps getting better. Here's why fans everywhere are thrilled to get to know the new E20 Plus robotic vacuum that was unveiled at IFA 2024 and the breakdown of its brilliant new features.

The Eureka E20 Plus is more than just your standard robotic vacuum. This sleek little machine packs a big punch with 8,000Pa of powerful suction — that's 100% more than the previous E10 model, which offered 4,000Pa. All that power makes the E20 Plus extremely efficient at collecting larger messes like pet kibble, stray pebbles, or dropped cereal. The powerful intake can also remove dirt and dust that is deeply embedded in carpet fibers, bringing your tired rugs back to life and cutting down on potential allergens in your home. Dual side brushes at the front of the vacuum offer good reach into corners and sweep debris inward towards the main center brush — instead of haphazardly flinging it across the room like other vacuums. This main brush is equipped with improved anti-tangle technology and resists tangles 14% better than the previous E10 model. With a total anti-wrap rate of 94%, the Eureka E20 Plus is a game changer for households with pets.

The vacuum's impressive dirt processing doesn't end there. After the vacuum self-empties at its base station, a five-stage filtration system passes dirt and dust through a filter screen and a multi-cyclonic dust collection system. This 13-cone structure uses centrifugal force to separate 98% of dust and dirt before it reaches the filter, which prevents clogs that could weaken suction and helps the filter last longer. Next, any remaining particles pass through MIF filter cotton, a high-density filter cloth, and finally a HEPA filter. The base station's 2-liter bin can store dust and dirt for up to 45 days.

The Eureka E20 Plus doesn't stop there; it also has a built-in mopping function so you can get the best of both worlds with this new wet-dry vacuum. In fact, the E20 Plus will vacuum and mop at the same time, with a mop head that is located directly behind the roller brushes and vacuum suction intake. This way, you can experience a fast, efficient, and thorough clean that doesn't require the vacuum to double back over previously vacuumed surfaces.

To prepare the mopping function, all you need to do is fill a small water reservoir in the vacuum itself, no special detergents necessary. The powerful and reusable mop head will follow behind the vacuum to lift stubborn stains and sticky spots from your hard floors. With the E20 Plus, you can also experience peace of mind around your rugs. While auto-cleaning, this ingenious vacuum automatically detects when it is approaching a carpet and lifts the mop 10mm off of the floor to keep from dampening your rugs and carpets. When mop water levels are low, you'll be sent a notification as a gentle reminder to refill the tank.

This robotic vacuum takes "smart" features to a new level, earning itself a title as one of House Digest's 2024 IFA Innovation Award winners. Many smart vacuums today still depend on LiDar to detect objects and navigate through a room, including the E10 model that Eureka released in 2023. However, the E20 Plus is upgraded with the all-new DuoDetect AI™ 3D Obstacle Avoidance that gives it superior navigation skills. Dual-line lasers on the front of the device provide the vacuum with excellent depth perception that is similar to human eyesight. This enables the E20 Plus to easily navigate around, between, and underneath furniture and other obstacles without bumping into everything or getting stuck along the way (we're looking at you, chair legs).

Additionally, the E20 Plus is equipped with enhanced night vision which helps it to navigate in the shadows underneath large furniture, in dark rooms, or even at night. If you're tired of manually freeing your robot vacuum from a cumbersome rug or tall threshold, you're in luck. The E20 Plus has larger wheels that give the device a 20mm threshold climb so it can easily propel itself wherever it's needed. Even in relatively open areas, the E20 Plus's clever design outshines other vacuums. With an advanced PSD sensor and automatic intensive edge-cleaning mode, the device effortlessly swoops around corners and tucks in close to baseboard edges.

The Eureka E20's innovative design is built with humans in mind, integrating itself into your everyday routines and requiring minimal maintenance. For example, the vacuum can run for up to 180 minutes or 300 square meters (3229 sqft), so it can easily clean most homes on a single charge. The clear dust bin allows you to see when it's time to dump your self-emptying container, and the pull-up handle makes it easy to pick up and empty the bin at the push of a button. Plus, without the need to buy replacement bags, you can save an estimated $70 annually and you'll never need to delay your cleaning routine.

Eureka has also made some thoughtful improvements in the smart vacuum's smartphone app. Firstly, the app allows users to fully customize their preferred cleaning settings, creating a plan that works for your unique home layout and busy schedule. Efficient zone-mapping means you can outline rooms in your home and define exactly where the E20 Plus should travel. Within the zones, you can also plan specific cleaning modes or set No-Go Zones, such as a baby's room or pet's bed corner. Store up to four floor maps so the E20 Plus can provide a unique clean for each floor in multi-level homes. The Eureka E20 Plus is even compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri so you can use voice commands to call on the device whenever you need it. If you're looking for a revolutionary new way to clean your floors, you can purchase the E20 Plus from Eureka's website for just under $500.
