Cleaning robots increasingly promise to do more than just vacuum floors, but few combine mopping and scenting in one device. The Anker-backed Eufy HydroJet S2 tries to answer how a robot vacuum can better tackle stubborn dirt while freshening your living space. At a premium price point of around 1,500 euros, it invites the question: does it deliver practical value beyond improved suction?
- Strong 30,000 Pa suction power for effective dirt pickup
- Wide 29 cm roller mop with edge-scrubbing and continuous water rinsing
- Unique integrated fragrance diffuser offering three scent options
- CleanMind AI navigation with 3D sensors, no laser turret needed
The 30,000 Pa Suction Focuses on Real-World Cleaning
While 30,000 Pa is not the highest suction among robot vacuums, the HydroJet S2 emphasizes practical floor performance. Suction alone doesn’t guarantee cleaner floors, so the combined mopping function and precise navigation work together to pick up dirt effectively. It’s a balanced approach suitable for homes with mixed flooring.
The Roller Mop Aims to Handle Stubborn Dirt and Edges
With a 29 cm wide roller mop that extends 15 mm sideways and applies 15 N of pressure, this vacuum is designed to scrub tough spots and clean right up to edges. The mop is continuously rinsed by 32 water jets, which helps prevent dirt buildup on the roller itself—a thoughtful detail for maintenance and consistent cleaning.
Adding Scent to Cleaning Is a Niche but Interesting Feature
The HydroJet S2’s built-in fragrance diffuser is unusual among robot vacuums. Users can choose from three scents—Citrus & Basil, Bamboo & Sage, or Bergamot & Lychee—to freshen rooms during cleaning. While not essential, it might appeal to those who want a subtle multi-sensory cleaning experience.
CleanMind AI Navigation Simplifies Mapping and Obstacle Avoidance
Instead of a traditional laser turret, the HydroJet S2 uses CleanMind AI with 3D MatrixEye 2.0 sensors to map spaces and avoid obstacles. This system aims to provide efficient cleaning routes while minimizing bumps and getting under furniture more easily.
Price and Availability: Premium but Widely Accessible
At 1,499 euros (around $1,600), the HydroJet S2 is positioned as a flagship robot vacuum, available directly from Eufy and major retailers like Amazon. The price reflects its multi-functionality and added features, but buyers should consider whether the fragrance diffuser and mop upgrades justify the premium compared to other models.
The trade-off is price. While the HydroJet S2 offers a combination of vacuuming, mopping, and scenting, it demands a premium investment. Buyers prioritizing these features should find it worthwhile, but those focused mainly on vacuum power may find more cost-effective alternatives.
Consider it if you want a hybrid cleaning solution with enhanced mopping and a freshening feature in one device. Skip it if your budget is tight or you prefer specialized devices focused solely on vacuuming or mopping.
