eufy Omni C28 vs eufy X10 Pro Omni: is the successor actually better?
eufy's own listing calls the C28 an upgrade from the X10 Pro Omni, which is the kind of claim worth checking rather than taking. In this case it holds up unusually well. The X10 Pro Omni has been the value benchmark for full omni stations in this catalog, scoring 7.7.
The C28 scores 8.7 - a full point, which is a wide margin between two generations of the same line. Two specific changes produce it, and neither is cosmetic. Street prices sit around $650 for the older machine and $700 for the newer, so the interesting question is not whether the C28 is better, but whether anyone should still buy the X10 Pro.
The short answer
Pick the eufy Omni C28 if cleaning is what you are buying for — 8/10 against 6/10.
Pick the eufy X10 Pro Omni if the budget is the constraint — it does the same job for $50 less.

Suction nearly doubles, and it needed to
The X10 Pro Omni states 8,000 Pa. In the current field that is low - it is the weakest suction figure of any full omni-dock machine in this catalog, and our engine scores its cleaning a 6, which is the lowest mark it receives on any dimension.
The C28 states 15,000 Pa. That lifts cleaning from a 6 to an 8, and it is the single largest contributor to the one-point overall gap.
Be clear about where the difference shows. On hard floors, both machines pick up surface debris fine, and 8,000 Pa was never the problem there. On carpet and rugs it is a different story: pulling grit and pet hair up out of pile is an airflow job, and 8,000 Pa struggles where 15,000 does not.
Worth keeping perspective, though. 15,000 Pa is mid-pack in the current catalog, not high. The MOVA V50 Ultra states 24,000 and the flagships 35,000 and above. The C28 fixes a weakness rather than establishing a strength.
The mop changes mechanism, not just temperature
This is the more interesting change, and it is easy to miss because both machines have a full omni dock that washes and dries the mop.
The X10 Pro Omni mops with dual spinning pads that lift 12 mm to clear carpet, and the dock washes them when the run ends. That is proper hands-free automation and our engine scores it a 9 for autonomy - a strong mark.
The C28 replaces the pads with a HydroJet roller turning at 270 RPM that scrapes and rinses itself continuously while it cleans. The difference is what happens during the job rather than after it. A spinning pad accumulates dirt across an entire run and redistributes a share of it as it goes; a self-rinsing roller keeps the surface touching your floor comparatively clean from the first room to the last.
Our engine treats that as the difference between a 9 and a 10, and the 10 is rare - only the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow also earns it here.
If you think a thorough post-wash is as good as continuous rinsing, discount that point and the two machines are much closer. That is a legitimate view, and it is the one judgement this comparison rests on.
What the C28 does not improve
Two honest notes, because a full-point jump invites over-claiming.
Navigation does not improve. Both score 8. The X10 Pro Omni actually states the more specific system - an AI camera plus LiDAR recognising 100-plus objects - while the C28's listing states AI obstacle avoidance without matching detail. Neither reaches the reactive-AI tier of the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow or the dual-camera tier of the flagships. If your floors are cluttered with cables, socks and toys, neither generation is the answer, and the newer one is not a step forward.
Runtime claims deserve care on the C28 specifically. It quotes up to 251 minutes, the longest figure in this catalog, but that is quiet mode, vacuum only. Mopping on the same setting comes in a little over two hours, and MAX suction with mopping drops it to roughly 70 minutes. The X10 Pro Omni's 180-minute rating is a less flattering number quoted the same way.
And independent testers have found the C28's actual floor coverage below average - something a spec-scoring engine cannot see, and worth weighing against the score.
Fifty dollars decides it
The X10 Pro Omni streets around $650. The C28 lists at $799.99 and streets around $700, and has been seen at $549.99.
At a $50 gap there is no coherent argument for the older machine. You would be paying $650 for a 7.7 instead of $700 for an 8.7, giving up nearly half the suction and the roller mop, and gaining nothing except a marginally more specific navigation claim.
If you find the C28 near $549.99, it is cheaper than the machine it replaces and a full point better, which makes it one of the strongest value positions in this catalog.
The only scenario where the X10 Pro Omni still makes sense is a genuinely deep discount - somewhere near $450 or below - in a home with hard floors only, where the suction gap does not matter much and the mopping mechanism is a preference rather than a need. Outside that, this is a straightforward generational win.
One alternative worth naming above both: at around $900 the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the other roller-mop machine here, scoring 9.0 with 20,000 Pa and a stronger navigation tier.
Choose the eufy Omni C28 if…
- Higher overall score: 8.7/10 against 7.7/10
- Better cleaning: 8/10 against 6/10
- Better autonomy: 10/10 against 9/10
Choose the eufy X10 Pro Omni if…
- Costs $50 less: $650 against $700
Verdict
Buy the eufy Omni C28. For about $50 more than the X10 Pro Omni it scores 8.7 against 7.7, nearly doubles the suction from 8,000 Pa to 15,000, and swaps spinning mop pads for a HydroJet roller that rinses itself as it runs - a mechanism only one other machine in this catalog offers.
Navigation is unchanged, so neither generation suits a cluttered home. Buy the X10 Pro Omni only at a deep discount near $450 or below, on hard floors, where the suction gap and the mopping mechanism both matter less. And if you can stretch to about $900, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the better roller-mop machine.
Still not sure?
Answer a few questions about your space and how you will use it, and the engine narrows the whole catalog down to the robot vacuum that fits.
