Robot vacuums have stalled these past few years, at least when introducing something truly breathtaking. Sure, there’s that robot vacuum with the arm, but that only does one thing. Eufy’s newest robot vacuum, debuting at CES 2025, is a three-in-one device. The company calls it, matter-of-factly, the Eufy Clean E20 or Robot Vacuum 3-in-1. It is three devices in one: a robot vacuum, a handheld vacuum, and a cordless stick vacuum. The form factor you use it in depends on your mess.
The Eufy Clean E20 is essentially a “core” vacuum with varying attachments, one of which is a robot body. It starts with the base station, which hails a sizeable 350mL litter box with an accompanying self-emptying system to clear out the robot once it’s performed its duty. Then, when you need to clean something up or run the vacuum to freshen up, you can take the core out of the base station and attach it to one of the other accessories, transforming it into an upright stick vacuum or handheld handy vac. The choice is yours and yours alone.
Eufy, owned by Anker, which has its own combination of wild and whacky gadgets that can do things, bills this as the all-you-need vacuum. The E20 reaches up to 30,000Pa suctioning power in stick or handheld vacuum mode and up to 8,000Pa in robot form. (Typically, robot vacuums don’t suck as much as regular upright vacuums.) And since the “core” of the vacuum is the same between accessories, the suction prowess remains similar.
Since Anker is a battery company, this robot vacuum has some battery prowess to show off. The Eufy Clean E20’s battery enables it to clean for up to 180 minutes on a full charge. It then takes about 2.5 hours to charge fully. Eufy claims the E20 juices up 40% faster than its competition.
The Eufy Clean E20 costs $560 for the whole package, about the same as many mid-range robot vacuums. The difference is that this is a three-in-one. It’s available for pre-order this month and will start shipping in February.
