Verdict

The Eureka J15 Ultra delivers strong mapping, obstacle avoidance, and mopping performance with a reliable self-emptying dock that keeps maintenance low. The app is extremely powerful but its many nested options can feel overwhelming at first, so it suits owners who are at least somewhat comfortable with tech. Overall, it is an excellent hands-off cleaning solution for mostly hard-floor homes that want automated vacuuming and mopping.

Edge and corner coverage is strong thanks to the mop pads extending toward baseboards and cabinetry overhangs, combined with app selectable edge cleaning modes that help pull in debris along boundaries during vacuuming and mopping.

Once configured, one tap presets and automated dock routines make everyday cleanups quick and largely hands off, with owners often just starting a preset to tidy a room and letting the robot handle cleaning and self emptying on its own.

Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5

Self maintaining dock routines wash and dry the mop pads and cut hair from the brush, while the app tracks accessory wear and service intervals so long term maintenance is mostly limited to water tanks, dust bags, and occasional filter changes.

Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5

On hard floors the dual mop pads provide solid everyday cleaning, reaching edges effectively and benefiting from dock based heated washing and drying, and owners find it convenient for quick post meal dining room cleanups on hardwood and tile.
Water tank ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5

Large, easy lift tanks of about 4L for clean water and 3.4L for dirty water reduce the frequency of refills and emptying, and users appreciate how simply they lift out from the base to fill with tap water.
