Stairs are the enemy of robotic vacuums in every single place. There isn’t at the moment a single robotic vacuum available on the market that may climb a flight of stairs with out human help. Even the greatest robotic vacuums we suggest for his or her potential to cross obstacles, just like the Dreame X50 Extremely and Roborock Saros Z70, can solely deal with thresholds between two and three inches.
Eufy’s Marswalker could be the first robotic vacuum to actually be capable of sort out this downside. It’s a robotic vacuum that appears a bit like a wheeled Mars rover with a tracked drive, the “good crawler platform,” that permits it to ascend and descend staircases. Eufy demonstrated the function for me in a video, and describes the platform as “4 independently managed arms” with a track-drive system that grips every step because it climbs. It’ll even be at Eufy’s IFA sales space in Berlin for a dwell demo.
Within the meantime, here is what we find out about it.
The Eufy Marswalker is a robotic vacuum that may truly climb stairs by itself.
Eufy Marswalker
Now, the Marswalker doesn’t clear the staircase itself whereas climbing, however it will possibly get to a special flooring with out human help, which is large. Eufy says the Marswalker is absolutely autonomous and can routinely detect when one flooring is completed being cleaned and can climb to the following one with out human intervention.
The Marswalker can work autonomously, recongizing stairs and navigating them with out human intervention.
Eufy says the robotic will routinely acknowledge widespread stair sorts, together with straight, L-shaped and U-shaped stairs, because it builds a 3D map of all the residence. After touring up a flight of stairs for cleansing, the Marswalker can routinely return to its dock to empty and recharge.
The Marswalker can sort out various kinds of stairs, although it will not clear the steps themselves.
Whereas particulars are scarce, from the photographs, it seems that the Marswalker is a shell that matches over an present robotic vacuum, quite than a standalone robotic. Eufy notes that the Marswalker is suitable with its new Omni S2 robotic vacuum, which the corporate claims is the primary with an clever aromatherapy system, releasing fragrances like bamboo, sage, bergamot, lychee, citrus and basil because it cleans your private home.
When it comes to specs, the Marswalker has the identical 3D mapping capabilities and AI options because the Omni S2. Different particulars, together with pricing, aren’t but obtainable, however the Marswalker ought to be launched in Spring 2026, probably making it the primary true stair-climbing robotic vacuum available on the market until a competitor beats Eufy to the punch.
The Marswalker is anticipated to be launched in 2026, pricing is not identified but.
That is positively one of many merchandise I am most enthusiastic about. Utilizing a robotic vacuum in a multilevel residence is a large ache. Many robotic vacuums supply multilevel mapping, however they do not present an answer for getting it from one flooring to a different. You both carry the unit up your self or it’s a must to purchase a second one and have each dwell on its respective flooring. Neither is a superb answer. If the Marswalker can change that, it might very properly be the largest innovation the robotic vacuum market has seen in a very long time, beating out the Roborock Saros Z70’s mechanical arm.
Eufy RoboVac Omni S2
The Omni S2 has an all-in-one base station together with an aromatherapy system that releases scents because it cleans.
The aforementioned Omni S2 is Eufy’s latest and top-tier robotic vacuum. It comes with 30,000 pascals of suction (100 air watts), is able to each vacuuming and mopping and might exert 15 newtons of downward strain whereas mopping. It boasts superior navigation, with a 3D ToF sensor, RGB digital camera and LED lights. It could acknowledge greater than 200 obstacles and establish greater than 40 sorts of dust. It could additionally deal with obstacles of 4.2 centimeters for double thresholds and three.5 centimeters for single thresholds, although by itself it received’t be capable of climb stairs.
It will not climb stairs by itself, however the Omni S2 can cross thresholds as much as 4 centimeters. It is also suitable with the Marswalker.
Naturally, you get a self-emptying, self-cleaning and auto-refilling dock that cleans and sterilizes the comb rollers between makes use of and makes use of recent electrolyzed water to scrub your flooring. All of this makes it a reasonably potent robotic vacuum, although I’m most curious to see the way it works with the Marswalker.
The Omni S2 is anticipated to be obtainable within the US beginning in January 2026 with a value of $1,599.
