eufy Omni C28
The Omni C28 is eufy's replacement for the X10 Pro Omni, and unusually for a successor, it is a genuine step rather than a refresh. It scores 8.7 against the X10 Pro's 7.7, and the point comes from two real changes: suction nearly doubles from 8,000 Pa to 15,000, and the spinning mop pads are replaced by a HydroJet roller that cleans itself as it runs. That roller is what takes autonomy to a perfect 10 - a mark only one other machine in this catalog earns. It lists at $799.99 and has been seen at $549.99.

Omni C28
The X10 Pro successor, with a HydroJet roller mop
Typical price
$700
Strengths
- excellent Autonomy (10/10) — omni
- high-end Cleaning (8/10) — 15,000 Pa
Habilytics Score
15,000 Pa is mid-pack here - an 8, well short of the 24,000-plus tier.
AI obstacle avoidance, a solid 8, below the reactive-AI and dual-camera systems.
The HydroJet self-cleaning roller mop earns the perfect 10 - only two machines here do.

The roller mop is why it scores 8.7
The C28's overall score rests almost entirely on one dimension. Cleaning is an 8 and navigation is an 8 - both respectable, neither remarkable. Autonomy is a 10, and only one other machine in this catalog reaches it.
The reason is mechanical. Almost every robot here mops with spinning pads that get washed at the dock when the run ends, which means the pad is picking up dirt for an entire cleaning session and spreading a share of it back onto the floor as it goes. The C28 uses a HydroJet roller turning at 270 RPM that scrapes and rinses continuously during the run, so the surface touching your floor is being cleaned the whole time.
The dock still handles the rest: emptying the bin, refilling the water, and washing and drying the mop at the end.
Whether continuous rinsing beats a hot post-wash is a genuine question, and our engine takes a position - it treats maintaining cleanliness during the job as more valuable than restoring it afterwards. If you disagree with that premise, discount the 10 accordingly. It is the single judgement holding this score up.
Against the X10 Pro Omni it replaces
eufy's own listing describes the C28 as upgraded from the X10 Pro, and the two are worth comparing directly because the X10 Pro has been the value benchmark for full omni stations in this catalog.
The X10 Pro Omni scores 7.7: cleaning 6, navigation 8, autonomy 9. The C28 scores 8.7: cleaning 8, navigation 8, autonomy 10.
Two changes produce that full point. Suction goes from 8,000 Pa to 15,000 - a near-doubling that lifts cleaning from a 6 to an 8, and 8,000 Pa was genuinely low for a machine at that price. And the dual spinning mop pads with 12 mm auto-lift become the HydroJet roller, taking autonomy from 9 to 10.
Navigation is unchanged at 8, and it is worth saying that plainly: both use AI obstacle avoidance, and the C28 does not add a navigation tier.
Street prices are close - the X10 Pro around $650, the C28 around $700. At a $50 difference, there is no sensible argument for the older machine.
Where it is genuinely limited
Two limits, and neither is hidden by the score.
Suction. 15,000 Pa is mid-pack here. The MOVA V50 Ultra states 24,000, the flagships 35,000 and 36,000. On hard floors this is a non-issue - the surface debris any of these lift is well within 15,000 Pa. On deep-pile carpet it is a real constraint, because pulling grit up out of fibre is an airflow problem, and this machine has meaningfully less airflow than the tier above.
Runtime honesty. The listing quotes up to 251 minutes, the longest figure in this catalog. That number is quiet mode, vacuum only. Testing puts mopping on the same setting at a little over two hours, and MAX suction with mopping at about 70 minutes. That last figure is the one to plan around if you have a large home and want a single unattended pass. It is still enough for most homes, and the dock recharges and resumes - but 251 and 70 are very different numbers and only one of them is on the box.
One further caveat: reviewers have noted that its actual floor coverage came in below average, which spec-scoring cannot capture.
Where it sits on price
It lists at $799.99 and has been seen at $549.99, with around $700 a fair working figure.
At $700 the comparison that matters is against the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow at roughly $900. That machine is the other autonomy 10 here, and it scores 9.0 against this 8.7. The difference is suction, 20,000 Pa against 15,000, and a stronger navigation tier - reactive AI across 200-plus obstacle types against plain AI avoidance. Whether that is worth $200 depends on how much carpet and how much clutter you have.
Below it, the value case is strong. Nothing cheaper in this catalog offers a self-cleaning roller mop, and the machines around $500 to $650 - including eufy's own X10 Pro Omni and Omni C20 - all score lower.
Near $550, this becomes the most straightforward recommendation in the mid-tier. That is roller-mop mopping mechanics and a complete omni dock for the price of ordinary spinning-pad machines, and the only real reservation is the suction figure - which matters if your home is carpeted and largely does not if it is not.
Who it's for / who it's not
Who it's for
- Your home is mostly hard flooring, where mop mechanics matter more than raw suction.
- You want a self-cleaning roller mop without paying the $900 the Roborock alternative costs.
- You have pets or long hair - the zero-tangle design targets exactly that chore.
- You were considering the X10 Pro Omni; this is a full point better for about $50 more.
Who it's not for
- Your home is largely deep-pile carpet - 15,000 Pa is below the tier that handles it well.
- You need a single unattended pass over a large home at full power; plan around 70 minutes, not 251.
- You want the strongest navigation - this is plain AI avoidance, not the reactive or dual-camera tier.
Alternatives in our catalog
Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow — $900

eufy X10 Pro Omni — $650
The machine this replaces, scoring 7.7 at about $650. At a $50 gap there is no reason to choose it.
Head-to-head comparisonSee how it ranks against the rest
We score every robot vacuum in our catalog on the specs that matter.
Best robot vacuums of 2026This 8.7 comes from the machine's Amazon and eufy specifications, cross-checked against each other before the engine reads them. It weighs advertised suction, stated navigation technology and dock automation across the 36 robot vacuums we track. 15,000 Pa sets cleaning at 8, AI obstacle avoidance sets navigation at 8, and the HydroJet self-cleaning roller mop takes autonomy to a perfect 10. The quoted 251-minute runtime is the quiet, vacuum-only rating. Affiliate links never move a score.
