-
By combining robot vacuuming, active mopping, and the removable Flexi1 portable deep cleaner in one dock, the E28 covers everyday floor care and targeted stain removal in a single versatile system.
-
The companion app is easy to use and offers rich controls like virtual walls, bin behavior settings, obstacle sensitivity, and multi-level mapping, with strong user ratings.
-
Deep cleaning performance on medium-pile carpet is a standout, with results well above average and among the best robots tested.
-
The dock automatically empties the dust bin into a bag and washes and dries the mop roller, greatly reducing day-to-day mess and maintenance.
-
On hard floors it picks up fine dust very effectively, clearing test debris without noticeable leftover particles.
-
Large debris on hard floors is handled confidently, with test messes removed cleanly rather than pushed around.
-
Obstacle avoidance is a highlight, with cameras and sensors dodging most household hazards and scoring near perfect in structured tests.
-
Its self-clean button and dock auto-wash cycle flush the hose, wash the mop roller, and handle dirty water automatically, keeping maintenance quick and simple.
-
The E28’s dock houses a removable Flexi1 portable deep cleaner that converts the system into a handheld spot cleaner, using the same clean and dirty water tanks so it is always ready for upholstery and carpet stains without dragging out a separate machine.
-
Sharing the same HydroJet full-width roller as the E25, the E28 delivers strong dried-on stain and spill removal on hard floors and offers mopping performance that ranks among the best robot mop-vacs.
-
Overall the E28 is regarded as a great robot vacuum and solid mop whose strong cleaning and added handheld deep cleaner earn it a recommendation, tempered mainly by a loud dock and some streaking quirks noted in testing.
-
The built-in spot cleaner removes dried-on stains like coffee and grape juice effectively after pretreating, and also performs well on fresh wet stains for quick upholstery and carpet touch-ups.
-
A shared water system, always-ready spot cleaner, and dock-based automation for washing, drying, and emptying keep everyday operation simple and encourage owners to tackle messes quickly.
-
The redesigned brush effectively prevents hair from wrapping around the roller itself, channeling strands away from the brush even though they may collect behind it.
-
Mapping and path planning with its top-mounted lidar are above average, giving efficient, thorough coverage of rooms.
-
The mop module automatically lifts when carpets are detected or can avoid them entirely via the app, helping keep rugs dry during mopping.
-
Priced below the flagship S1 while costing more than the E25, the E28 is still seen as competitively priced given its strong cleaning performance and integrated Flexi1 portable deep cleaner.
-
Pet owners benefit from the always-ready spot cleaner for recurring messes, though long hair can clump behind the brush and may require more frequent cleanup.
-
Real-world pickup is excellent, but measured suction and airflow are only midpack for this price tier, relying on good design rather than brute force power.
