Thanks for sharing. Yes even eufy told me people on KS were waiting on my review. I thought they were just saying that to get me to hurry up with the review lol. Appreciate the sub! Come back and let me know how you like it!

Glad it was helpful!

Make sure to use my link in the description! It helps fund reviews like this.

@@jamie.andrews I'll be sharing it with everyone I know! :)

1799$ for the watertank version is a lot. In germany its about 1399€ and with some cashback etc. you can easily match 1300€ and lower. The S1 is about 930€. The Qrevo MaxV 800€. X40 Ultra Complete 1400€. The decision is more difficult. :)

Thanks for the support! I will!

My pleasure!

You and me both!

Thanks for the sub!

Geez break out a mop and bucket 3 times and cry about the maintains then. Not to mention vacuuming the floor first

@@jasonrico8558 yeah I don't like it. What is your problem?

@thuyvan7503 it is so silly to complain about this. It is like crying about a toilet that doesn't clean itself? Compared to an outhouse.

@@jasonrico8558 it's not really a complaint. Jamie did a review and I mentioned what I think about the product. I don't get it why you need to be triggered by my comment for something isn't your problem at all. You think it's fine then go ahead purchase one and enjoy it. I rather spend more money for something require less maintenance.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it helped!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing!

I've done the same and share your sentiments. I just hope at some point you can specify how often it returns to refill since the half life of ozone is so short, or that Eufy has already accounted for that.

Glad you enjoyed it

You might think about removing your pledge, waiting for multiple and proper reviews. Never put a pledge if you cannot afford the disappointment, I mean, it sounds weird to be nervous about something not mandatory...

@@Adesfire74 Eufy is giving a 30-day return policy with the S1 Pro even if you back it on Kickstarter, so there's really nothing to lose by backing it and locking in the much lower price vs. retail which is why I backed it. If I don't like it I'll definitely be sending it back for a refund.

@@Adesfire74 well, maybe nervous was the wrong word, but cautious. But Eufy isn’t an unknown brand or really a gamble. They have produced plenty of quality products. But thanks for your concern.

@@Brendon471 My words, exactly

Glad you like them!

Thank you 🙂

Enjoy it

Thanks for the support! It should look just like mine with Mach branding.

No hookups on this one. Maybe the next model.

It‘s coming. They are still testing.

Other KZfaq creators are paid for their video. I never accept money and my reviews are my own. This cost me financially as KZfaq does not pay much at all, but for me it is about doing the right thing.

@@jamie.andrews Yup, finding a good video of the S1 pro has been tough because almost every single one spouts the exact same marketing spiels, using stock footage of the vacuums mopping up liquids, and sending the vacuums to mop up what appeared to be ketchup and milk (in every single review, what's the chances huh?). I thoroughly appreciate your reviews and the time you put into them.

@@0terminater0 Yea those reviews are hard to stomach. If you hear the words ty for x company for partnering with me on the video it is a sign to click off imo.

If you think about it, it’s really not much maintenance. I remember seeing a comment from Eufy on their Kickstarter where they explained that the ozonated water prevents odors from building up quickly by sterilizing the clean water that it uses to constantly clean the mop. I doubt it’ll fully prevent bacteria from growing/producing smells, but it should make it take longer for that to happen. And with a regular mopping schedule, that tiny bit of residual water left in the tank should get flushed out before there’s any chance for new bacteria to grow and start to smell. That leaves just the dirty tank mesh screen as the only thing that will need occasional cleaning, and all that requires is a quick rinse. Compare that to the S8 MaxV Ultra review where it has added maintenance for its new rotating edge mop and new extending arm brush-both got so tangled with hair that they stopped spinning and the hair was shown to be quite difficult to remove. That’s on top of the hair tangles it got on the axles for both of its main brush bars which Jamie also said was difficult to remove. So that’s four total areas that will require frequent, time consuming maintenance. To me that sounds like much more hassle than simply rinsing a mesh screen every once in a while.

Yea that should be out in several weeks.

Roborock is falling behind other companies.

If you are taking about grout lines like mine that are lower than the tile there is no robot capable of cleaning them. The mops can't drop down into grout. Even this one with a roller did not drop down into grout. For my grout spot cleaning I use a Dreame H12 Pro and let it spin the mop over the grout and it works, but is a long process. The best answer for now is a grout brush and some vinegar.

Agree ! The bx7 pro

@@alondinbar6193 Aha~~ Thanks for your comment. YEP!!

I saw on one of the campaign comment that they working on it. But i dont think to count it.

They turn off after just a bit of time.

He mentions it at 12:42. It lifts up noticeably faster than other mop pads seem to.

I have not tested the Qrevo MaxV just yet. It is next but still in the box. Might be worth the wait.

Ok thanks 😊

No plans atm.

It has more features that the S7 Maxv and less than the S8 MaxV. Somewhere in between.

I kinda doubt it. It will have to be an S2 revision.

@@jamie.andrews but they said they changed to vacuum rollers on update

The old Qrevo? This has better obstacle avoidance and detergent injection so if those are important features I would say so.

@@jamie.andrewsyeah the regular Q Revo. I was going to snag it for $700 but the price just went up again, so I’m thinking it may be worth waiting for the S1 Pro for $230 more. Again thanks for your real review! All the others are just ads

@@Tom-fn8xc Keep in mind the Kickstarter ends early on the 1st. Link is in the description.

I hate infomercials. They end up costing everyone and informing no one.

That is sadly tough because good object avoidance and high end normally go hand in hand. The Roborock S8 Plus might suit your needs.

@@jamie.andrews well I don’t mind paying for a good machine just don’t need to pay extra for the mopping features

@@TylerHunt556 I am not aware of a robot without a mop that also has good object avoidance. I would say wait for my Roborock QRevo review.

@@jamie.andrews thank you

At $999 there is a lot ofvalue here. Which Roborock model are you referring to?

@@jamie.andrews The roborock S7 Max Ultra Robot which is around the same price or even the brand new Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra at almost double the price

@@ROC1337 This has a good bit more features than the S7 max ultra and much better obstacle avoidance. The S7 Max has better vacuum performance.

As far as I know mine is the final product. They worked with beta testers last fall so that was before me. They are aware of what I said in my review and have not told me that I have those issues due to a preproduction model.

@@jamie.andrews Thank you.

It is on my list.

This one right now is half the price so that makes the S8 MaxV a hard sell, however I don't think they directly compete. The S8 MaxV has better carpet cleaning ability, decent mopping and several additional features not found on the S1 Pro. If those features don't mean much to a buyer than the S1 right now is a great price and hard to beat.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to stay consistent yet improve. The X40 review should be out in June.

It applies more water than most spinning or vibrating mops, however the water coverage is even.

I have not tested the X40 yet so it is hard to comment on that one. The S8 MaxV has more features, but atm also cost a good bit more. You would have to decide if you want to spend almost double for the features on the S8 MaxV like edge cleaning, voice assistant, remote viewing and hot water mop washing. Some people also prefer a refillable detergent tank like on the S8 MaxV.

@@jamie.andrews Do you think those extra features are worth the premium? Also is the S1 Pro in your opinion better than other $1000 robots from Roborock and Dreame? thank you for your review, us fans from Reddit really appreciate it!

Maybe the S8 MaxV, but I wouldn't recommend the X40. I returned mine. Mapping failed 5 times. I had to prevent any sunlight from shining in the house, after that the mapping was successfully completed. Went for a meal outside, robot stuck at "obstacle". That obstacle was my damn wall... haven't seen worse mapping / navigation in years.

@@peterjochem That is a shame.

Good point. I liked it being tall so I don't have to bend over which could also be an issue for elderly folks.

The tall profile is actually a feature for me, it means we don't have to bend over when emptying the tanks or filling them up. The buttons for the dock are also more accessible this way. Plus the only spot I have in my house for a dock is kind of narrow so I was actually worried about how to fit a standard dock in. This taller + slimmer profile fixes that issue.

@@sugarcandy243Same here, the dock is one of the reasons I like the S1 so much. I also really like the top mounted buttons to start a cleaning. As someone with bad ADD, I often will forget to send my Q Revo out after my kitchen gets messy since I have to go look for my phone, try not to get distracted by other notifications, open the Roborock app, and start a cleaning. Sounds simple enough, but I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve gotten distracted and never sent it out to clean. Top mounted buttons on the base fix this for me since I can just walk over and press the start button. No apps or phone to fiddle with. This is a me problem for sure, but I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s like this.

@@Brendon471 You're definitely not alone. I'm not diagnosed or anything but I have noticed when I pick up my phone to do something specific, I generally never get around to doing it. There are just so many other notifications vying for your attention LOL. I prefer using the Google home app via voice or actually pressing a button or something. My phone is simply too distracting. And this when I don't do social media at all. KZfaq is as social as I get!

@@sugarcandy243 Glad it's not just me lol. Speaking of voice assistants, the S1 should be getting that capability soon! I remember reading one of the comments from Eufy on their Kickstarter and they said that matter support will be added in an upcoming software update. Totally get you on the social media side of things, I try to stay away from them too. And I gotta say... I never thought I'd be this excited to get a robot vacuum! This review and the one from Forbes were enough to completely sell me on the S1. So glad I backed this instead of going for the S8 MaxV Ultra.

Yes up to 4 floors

It does everything better and adds detergent injection. The only downside is more maintenance. If you have mostly carpet the S1 does not make much sense.

I don't think I measured this one. It is effective though.

That is an excellent question. I think it serves to drum up interest and also hype.

Not real sure as I don't have dogs and I tend to not test with fake hair because it is just not the same.

@@jamie.andrews Thank you for the reply. :)

Can I add the Qrevo MaxV to your list? I should have that review out in May and it might just be the sweet spot for you with price and performance.

@@jamie.andrews Unfortunately, it is left off my list because of the missing arm that cannot vacuum corners properly. I appreciate that you read this reaction, think for me and respond. Very cool of you!

Go with the S1 to lock in the $999 Kickstarter price and if you don’t like it, return it. Eufy has said they’ll honor their 30 day return policy even for Kickstarter backers, so you really have nothing to lose other than saving yourself a ton of money over retail in the event that you do end up liking it. One thing that you also shouldn’t overlook when picking your first robovac is their level of autonomy and how much pre-cleaning they require. This is something I didn’t even think about when getting my Roborock Q Revo, which gets tangled in cables and socks all the time. It’s really annoying having to go find and rescue it since the whole point of these bots is to do your daily cleaning with as little interaction from you as possible. This is where the S1 shines since its obstacle avoidance is best in class. You can truly set it and forget it, never having to worry about stray cables, socks, or other things around your house. That also somewhat addresses your suction power concern as you can just set it on a schedule to do a double pass in the dirtiest rooms. With its high level of autonomy, it’ll do that double pass without you even noticing or thinking about it since it will never get itself stuck anywhere. All you’ll notice is clean floors. Hopefully this helps a bit with your decision making! :)

In my tests either this one or the Narwal Freo X

I have a Q Revo (not the new one). It cleans decently well with only average vacuum performance, decent mopping ability, and truly horrible obstacle avoidance. Mine gets caught up in cables all the time and frequently needs rescuing. If you don't mind pre-cleaning before it cleans then you'd like it, but this is significantly better at basically everything the Q Revo does. The new Q Revo at least improves on the suction and has slightly improved mopping, but it has the same setup for obstacle avoidance so I expect that to be just as bad as on the first one. Basically, if you want a robot vacuum that you can set and forget, the Q Revo is not that.

It does not really compare honestly. You want to compare the Eufy X10 Pro to the Qrevo. The S1 is not only more expensive, but it focuses on mopping over carpet and the Qrevo does both quite well. Object avoidance is another story though.

@@jamie.andrews Thanks for clearing it up! Obstacle avoidance is important. I will save money and get the S8 Max V when they fix their issues. I am not satisfied with this Eufy S1.

If I had a place to hook it up I would.

@@jamie.andrewsman I wish! I haven’t seen a review of it anywhere I’m praying it’s everything I want it to be!

This is a step up from the X10 Pro in most every way.

If you are interested in a particular manufacture follow their Reddit pages. New models and specials will show up there.

They do turn off once it goes to sleep.

Yes. It is less than HEPA. Most robot vacuums are E11. HEPA would reduce airflow too much.

@@jamie.andrews 🤔 hmmmm. I'm pretty sure my RoboRock S5 has a true HEPA filter. It is a shame the Eufy doesn't because this looks to be a pretty good robot vacuum/mop combo otherwise.

@@LokiDaFerret All Roborock filters are E11 as well. us.roborock.com/products/washable-filter-2x-for-s6-series-s5-series-s4-series-and-e-series

@@jamie.andrews WHAAAAT!!?? 😁 It's no wonder I can't breathe in here.

I will in late June.

I did not think so.

I'll have the X40 review out in June.

@@jamie.andrews awesome! Your reviews helped. You def convinced me not to buy the roborock s8 maxv ultra.

Dreame makes some very good robots, but their penchant for releasing one every three months at premium pricing is getting tired.

No, not at this time. I think there might be plans to do that in the future though.

​@@jamie.andrews do you see any ports on the base that would make it feasible? Torn between this or waiting for the next model.

@@youtubeuser8426 no

What happens with your bots and floor to ceiling windows? Does putting no-go zone lines in front of them not help?

I would sound like a broken record because all robots with lidar have this issue with floor mirrors as you stated. The only ones the don't are the new Roborock S8 MaxV and QRevo MaxV. I mentioned this in the review of the S8 MaxV that I put out right before this video.

Hmmm, i've had one of the very first robots with lidar for quite a few years and it didn't have any issues with mirrors and didn't try to avoid curtains which i really liked too😊 Unfortunatelly it didn't mop and i wanted an upgrade Nonetheless i think i'll give a try to q revo maxV if you say so 😅​@@jamie.andrews

I think others are too.

I would switch to the Eufy X10. This thing seems to have too many compromises. The poor edge coverage and the less than ideal vacuuming performance in particular. I would get the X10 even if they were the same price. But the fact that this is more expensive doesn't sit well with me.

@@mohamedahmed1023Eh, the only additional maintenance is mostly just the mesh screen for the dirty water tank. That will only need a quick rinse every once in a while. Vacuum performance on carpet is average, but for everything else this looks as good or better than other flagship bots. Hard floor vacuuming is very good and mopping is best in class, as is obstacle avoidance. X10 really only beats it on price.

@@mohamedahmed1023 To note I find this to have better vacuum performance over the X10.

@@Brendon471 X10 price is a lot lower and has better edge coverage. The S1 needs to justify the premium. So although the S1 has better mopping performance, it has worse coverage. So I'd say they're even in mopping. Also, other reviews showed the S1 is quite a bit worse in vacuuming.

Can't say I disagree. What needs to happen is a complate drain of the onboard dirty water tank and then a rinse. I'm not sure how to get around not cleaning a filter though. It seems if a robot is going to clean itself while mopping the process of cleaning the filter moves from the dock to the robot.

To be fair, they all require some maintenance. Just look at Jamie’s S8 MaxV Ultra review where he showed it needing additional hair removal from the new extending side arm (which stops rotating when tangled) and the new rotating edge mop which also gets tangled. That’s on top of the two vacuum rollers, which both got hair tangled in them that was difficult to remove from the axles. That is way, way more time consuming and tedious than just a simple rinse of the dirty tank mesh screen that the S1 has. I’d also guess that with daily scheduled cleaning, the dirty water tank will get flushed out well before any standing water in the tank starts to smell. I wouldn’t be surprised if future bots integrate a mesh cleaning system along with a dirty water tank drying system to solve both of these problems. I’m guessing we’ll see a similar style roller mop in the Roborock S9 next year, so it’ll be very interesting to see how other companies improve on this going forward.

@@Brendon471 Good analysis for the comparison.

@@jamie.andrews Thank you! Seems like many people are overthinking how much extra maintenance there really is with the S1. Question regarding the ozonated water-did you notice that preventing noticeable smell buildup in either of the dirty water tanks (on the bot or base) compared to the dirty water tank on other bot's bases?

The small pipes will be a hassle to clean when clogged by dirty water.

I should do a comparison video. The good news is there a choices now and people can decide what they want. The X10 lacks detergent injection, self cleaning mop that removes dirty water while mopping, it also has a much worse roller brush that is prone to get hair tangled on it. Also the vacuum performance is a good bit worse. The only positive things for the X10 are price and a bit less maintence. Hope this helps some.

@@jamie.andrews Ahh! I forgot about the hair tangles! Thanks for flagging that. Though the S1 having better vacuum performance was a surprise. Is that on hard surfaces, rugs, or both?

@@mohamedahmed1023 Hard surfaces a good bit better. Carpet is marginally better.

So sorry

@@jamie.andrews Hey Jamie, just a suggestion but you might want to make a pinned comment about this somewhere. Seems like many are unaware that they can still get the Kickstarter pricing for a limited time.

For some reason it won’t post my comment when I include Eufy’s directions here, so I’ve posted it as an entirely separate comment on the video (sort as new and look for my comment). Hopefully this helps and you're able to get the Kickstarter pricing. :)

@@Brendon471 I'll reach out to Eufy and confirm. Thanks for sharing.

@@jamie.andrewsYou don’t need to reach out even, they have it publicly on their Kickstarter updates.

Are you talking about the dock tanks or the tanks in the robot?

@@jamie.andrews Doc tanks, the capacity is on the low side. Or have the ability like my Dreame 30 to have it hooked up to house plumbing. That works really well!

@@LaszloBagi The clean water tank is fairly average in size it is the dirty water tank that is below average, however I feel this does not matter at all since you should really be cleaning out that tank atleast every day or 2 or it will stink so I never fill mine past 1000ml. Just another perspective.

@@jamie.andrews I hear you, however needed to clean it every 1-2 days is backwards to my Dreame 30 which is hooked up water and a waste line.

@@LaszloBagi Oh yea if you hook it up to a water line yea, but then water tanks become irrelevant.

Use whatever detergent you want. Plenty on the market meant specifically for machine mops. Just need one that doesn't foam up. But yeah... all robo vacs have various parts to nickel and dime you. Sacrificing one convenience for another

Yea I figured several people could be turned off by extra maintenance which is a tradeoff for having a dirty water tank on the robot that removes dirty water from your floors. As always there is a tradeoff.

If I get enough requests I may do a comparison video, but personally I feel they are way too different for a sir by side comparison. I have reviewed both on my channel and they are so very different with features and price I would say it would come down to budget and if someone want to pay for the extra features of the S8 MaxV.

Not sure why it is not better.

Except for price and maintenance. It doesn't clean as well as this does.

You kinda cherry picked the things that were the same as other robots lol. It has a ozone system for the water tank. It has a self cleaning roller mop that lifts 12mm with a self cleaning dock. Pretty sure that is a first. The front mounted lidar that is able to see a whole 220 degrees is the first I have seen with that reach and being front mounted. The point is it is very different from many of the robots on the market today.

@@jamie.andrews Thats very cool! I would love to A: Buy a robot vacuum cleaner without 360 degrees of lidar like pretty much every other robo vac with lidar, and B: Be more lazy by having ozone cleaning (Which will break at some point of the docks lifetime) system for my water tank instead of cleaning it myself! And a mop that only lifts 12mm? I thought the roborock s8 MaxV raised 20mm. Huh thats weird.

@@HighIQCayden goodness.

Wow... Someone didn't slept well last night.

The review was excellent pointing out the features of the robot. The solid implementation of the front mounted LiDAR uniquely allows this robot to actually detect surface level furniture which top mounted LiDAR cannot; even if equipped with front mounted cameras and structured light. This is unique robot with the complete package combined. Add a flexi arm for the front brush, liftable vacuum brush roller, and self cleaning/flush of the dirty water tank and screen, improved carpet pickup (may be brush related), and this will be a superb model. Those are just about all existing features in the Industry so maybe next years model.
