TL;DR
At CES 2026 Anker introduced the Eufy S2, a robot vacuum-mop hybrid that also includes a built-in aromatherapy system and high suction. The device combines AI mapping and obstacle avoidance with a self-cleaning mop, a refill/emptying cleaning station, and a $1,599 price with availability later in January.
What happened
Anker revealed the Eufy S2 at CES 2026, positioning it as a high-powered robot vacuum and mop that can also disperse fragrance while it cleans. The unit is rated up to 30,000Pa of suction and uses AI-driven obstacle detection plus real-time 3D mapping to recognize rooms and avoid more than 200 types of objects, including small items like rug tassels. Its roller mop system uses electrolyzed water and cycles a self-cleaning action up to six times per second; the mop can lift up to two inches to stay off carpets, exert about 3.3 pounds of downward pressure on hard floors, and extend 15mm to reach edges and baseboards. Anker added a DuoSpiral brush to cut down on tangles. A companion cleaning station refills the onboard water, empties the dustbin, and washes and dries the mops to minimize user upkeep. The S2 is priced at $1,599, with a US presale starting January 6 and wide availability beginning January 20.
Why it matters
- Blends floor cleaning with in-home scent delivery, potentially changing expectations for multifunctional home robots.
- A 30,000Pa suction rating positions the S2 among higher-powered robot vacuums, indicating it’s aimed at more demanding cleaning tasks.
- Self-cleaning mops, a refill/dump station, and automated drying could reduce routine maintenance compared with simpler robot models.
- AI mapping and obstacle avoidance that identifies hundreds of object types may lower incidents of entanglement and collision.
- Use of electrolyzed water suggests a move toward disinfecting approaches that rely less on added chemical cleaners.

What to watch next
- How noticeable and broadly welcome the built-in scents are in everyday use — the company noted this is intended to perfume spaces but real-world reception is still unclear.
- Real-world cleaning performance beyond the suction rating, including pickup on different floor types and effectiveness of the electrolyzed-water mopping system.
- Long-term reliability and maintenance demands of the self-cleaning mop and cleaning station: not confirmed in the source.
- Battery life and noise levels during operation and charging: not confirmed in the source.
Quick glossary
- Pascal (Pa): A unit of pressure; in robot vacuums it’s often used to express suction strength.
- Electrolyzed water: Water treated with an electrical process to produce a solution that can have disinfecting properties without added chemical cleaners.
- Real-time 3D mapping: A navigation approach where a device builds a three-dimensional map of its environment while operating to plan routes and avoid obstacles.
- AI-powered obstacle detection: Use of artificial intelligence to recognize and respond to objects in a device’s path to reduce collisions and entanglements.
