Its new MarsWalker robotic is provided with 4 arms to hold a vacuum between ranges, so that you don’t must lug it up the steps your self or purchase a robotic for every ground. Nonetheless, you’ve now obtained two robots, so maybe it’s probably not fixing that downside.
Outfitted with a drive-track system, the MarsWalker acts like a stairlift in your robotic vacuum. The vacuum docks within the MarsWalker, which carries it to the following ground utilizing 4 independently managed arms. From there, the vacuum exits to renew cleansing or head to its base station to clean its mop, empty its bin, or recharge.
Eufy says the MarsWalker can deal with straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped stairs and builds a 3D map of your house to know the place the vacuum must go. It’s a standalone unit with its personal charging base, and the corporate says it is going to work with a number of fashions of Eufy robotic vacuums, though precise specs and compatibility haven’t been launched. It’s slated to launch within the spring of 2026, however no pricing has been introduced.
One suitable mannequin would be the new Eufy RoboVac Omni S2, which can also be on present at IFA. Resulting from launch within the US in January for $1,599, the S2 is an upgraded model of the Eufy S1 Professional.
The S2 options a big, self-cleaning curler mop, 30,000Pa suction energy, 3.3lbs of downward mopping strain, and might prolong its mop out as much as 15mm to scrub alongside baseboards.
