Robot vacuum and mop combos have a reputation for doing both jobs adequately but neither brilliantly. The eufy C28 is built to change that impression: 15,000Pa of suction on the vacuum side, and a rolling HydroJet mop on the other, paired with an auto-dock that washes and dries the mop between runs. It is positioned as the model that treats mopping as a real feature, not an afterthought.
At a glance
- 15,000Pa suction for carpets and hard floors
- HydroJet mop roller with continuous water misting
- Self-washing and self-drying dock
- Smart obstacle avoidance and app scheduling
- Automatic mop lifting when carpets are detected
What stands out
The mopping system is the reason this model exists. Instead of a damp pad dragged across the floor, the C28 uses a rotating mop roller kept wet by a water mist, which picks up stuck-on dirt rather than just smearing it around. On hard floors the difference is visible – cleaner corners, no streaking, and no mildew smell from a pad that never dries properly.
Suction is equally serious. 15,000Pa handles pet hair, crumbs, and the dust that works its way into carpet fibers, and the automatic mop lift means the transition to carpeted rooms needs no intervention – it vacuums there and mops here without dragging a wet roller across the rug.
The dock closes the loop on maintenance: it washes the mop, dries it, and empties the bin, which turns “robot vacuum upkeep” into something you barely think about. For anyone who has owned an earlier-generation combo, this is the upgrade that removes the chore.
Things to weigh
The price reflects the ambition – this is a premium-tier entry. If your home is all hard floors with no rugs and no pets, a simpler mop-only or cheaper combo robot would cover you for less. And like every robot in this class, it works best when floors are reasonably clear of cables and small clutter.
Bottom line
The eufy C28 is the combo robot that finally makes mopping feel automatic: serious suction, a genuinely effective rolling mop, and a dock that handles the dirty work. If a hands-off clean for mixed floors is what you are after, it is one of the most complete options in its class.
