– The vacuum boasts powerful suction (up to 30,000Pa) and uses AI obstacle detection and 3D mapping to navigate and avoid over 200 objects.
– Its mopping system features a self-cleaning roller that uses electrolyzed water to kill bacteria and can lift to avoid carpets while applying pressure on hard floors.
– A cleaning station automates the process by refilling water, emptying the dustbin, and washing and drying the mops for a nearly hands-free experience.
– The Eufy S2 is priced at $1,599, with a US presale starting January 6th and wide availability beginning January 20th.
Imagine a robot vacuum that not only cleans your floors but also fills your home with a pleasant, spa-like fragrance. This is the promise of the new Eufy S2 from Anker, a high-tech hybrid cleaner unveiled at CES 2026. The machine integrates a powerful vacuum and mop with a novel built-in aromatherapy system, aiming to tackle household chores while appealing to your senses.
The integrated scent diffuser offers a selection of fragrances, including bamboo, sage, bergamot, lychee, citrus, and basil. The concept is to have the robot perfume your living space as it navigates and cleans. Whether this feature proves to be a subtle enhancement or an overpowering gimmick in daily use is something users will ultimately decide.
Beyond its aromatic ambitions, the Eufy S2 is engineered as a serious cleaning tool. It boasts a suction power rating of up to 30,000Pa, a figure that positions it among the strongest in its category. While suction is just one part of the cleaning equation, such a high specification indicates the device is built for demanding debris pickup, not just light surface maintenance. Its navigation is aided by AI-powered obstacle detection and real-time 3D mapping, designed to recognize rooms, avoid spills, and dodge over two hundred common household objects, even small ones like rug tassels.
For mopping duties, the robot employs a self-cleaning roller system. This mop cleans itself up to six times every second using electrolyzed water, a method Anker states eliminates bacteria without chemical additives. The unit can lift its mop assembly by two inches to prevent wetting carpets, while applying significant downward pressure on hard floors for a deeper scrub. An extending mop pad helps it reach closer to baseboards and edges. Additionally, a new DuoSpiral brush design aims to minimize hair tangles, a common frustration with robotic cleaners.
The experience is completed by a dedicated docking station. This hub handles several maintenance tasks automatically: it refills the robot’s internal water tank, empties the dustbin, and washes and dries the mop pads. This automation is designed to create a largely hands-off cleaning cycle from start to finish.
The Eufy S2 is set for a broad release on January 20th, with a presale for U.S. customers starting January 6th. The premium package of automated cleaning and ambient scent diffusion comes at a price of $1,599.
