Detailed Review
The eufy C28 stands out as a comprehensive cleaning solution that addresses the biggest pain points of robotic vacuum ownership. The 28cm HydroJet roller with 24 water ports spinning at 270 RPM delivers genuine mopping rather than just dampening floors, while the built-in scraper removes dirt into a separate tank to keep the mop water clean throughout the cycle. For pet owners, this is transformative, as it eliminates the stubborn paw print marks and dried spill stains that regular mopping struggles to remove.
The zero-tangle DuoSpiral brush is engineered specifically for multi-pet households, handling up to 11.8 inches of hair without wrapping around the roller. Our evaluation of the manufacturer's data shows impressive results across different hair types and lengths, from fine 8-15cm Golden Retriever hair to longer 30cm strands. Combined with 15,000 Pa of suction power that automatically increases on carpets, this vacuum captures pet dander, kibble crumbs, and fine dust that lesser models miss.
The All-in-One Station represents the real innovation here, automating four critical maintenance tasks: dust emptying, mop washing, hot air drying at 50 degrees Celsius, and wastewater collection. This extends the cleaning interval to 75 days before requiring human intervention, making the system genuinely hands-free for extended periods. The LiDAR navigation provides camera-free obstacle avoidance, protecting your privacy while the quiet 54.89dB operation keeps noise at acceptable levels for most households.

Pet Owner's Guide
Hair Tangling Performance
The eufy C28 has been evaluated on multiple pet hair scenarios. On hard floors and Wilton carpets, a mix of 0.15g of 20cm hair and 0.15g of 30cm hair showed no hair remaining on the roller brush across 7 consecutive cleaning cycles. Golden Retriever hair testing revealed that 1g of 8-15cm hair left no buildup on the brush after 6 consecutive cycles. This level of performance makes it genuinely suitable for households with multiple pets or long-haired breeds.
Beyond Hair: What Else Gets Cleaned
Pet ownership means more than just hair. The 15,000 Pa suction handles pet dander, kibble crumbs, litter dust, and dried mud tracked indoors. The automatic carpet boost increases suction on rugs where pets spend most time. The mopping system tackles paw print stains and minor accidents that vacuuming alone cannot address, making it valuable for households with puppies or senior pets.
Maintenance Benefits for Pet Owners
The 75-day hands-free station eliminates the weekly deep cleaning of traditional robot vacuums that pet owners dread. No pulling tangled hair from brushes, no rinsing dirty mop pads, no emptying dust bins clogged with pet hair. The hot air drying at 50 degrees Celsius prevents mold growth that often occurs when wet pet hair sits in enclosed spaces, keeping your home fresher longer.
Comparison to Previous Model
Upgrade from eufy X10 Pro
The C28 represents a meaningful evolution from the X10 Pro with several key improvements. The HydroJet roller system is entirely new, replacing traditional mopping with a scrubbing action that removes stubborn stains the X10 Pro could only dampen. The extended 75-day maintenance interval (compared to shorter intervals on the X10 Pro) means significantly less hands-on care required from the owner.
Key Enhancements
The DuoSpiral brush is optimized specifically for pet hair, delivering superior tangle resistance compared to the previous generation. The mopping water separation system keeps the mop cleaner throughout each cycle, preventing the gray-water streaking that can occur with basic mopping systems. The automatic mop lifting on short carpets is a thoughtful addition that prevents water damage to delicate rugs.
When to Choose C28 Over X10 Pro
If mopping performance and extended maintenance intervals are priorities, the C28 is the clear choice. If you value the proven reliability track record of an established model, the X10 Pro may still merit consideration. The C28 is designed for users who want maximum automation and advanced mopping capability in a single device.
