If you’re short on space, Eufy’s E20 robot vacuum might be the one for you. It combines a robot, a cordless, and a handheld vacuum in one docking station, making it much easier to store than three separate tools, and giving you the option of some hands-on cleaning from time to time. A versatile dream. Did we mention it’s affordable too?

Why have one vacuum cleaner when you can have three? Meet Eufy’s E20 model, which combines a robot, stick and handheld vacuum into one neat docking station so you can seamlessly switch between the three depending on the cleaning task at hand.
As a robot vacuum, it was easy to use from the start. Testers navigated the app without a fuss and found it simple to add or edit rooms, change the power mode, schedule cleans and put on safety features such as the child lock.
Tackling an entire room from start to finish took 14 minutes, and the robot collected an average of 95 per cent of debris – just a few biscuit crumbs were left behind. However, it struggled on our dust test, only removing the very top layer from carpet.
Pet owners will love it though; it sucked up most pet hair in two minutes and the vacuum’s roller brush rotates in reverse after cleaning, working with the built-in comb to dislodge any trapped hair.
As you’re getting a three-in-one system with the Eufy E20, we also tested the stick and handheld vacuums. The stick vacuum excelled at lifting pet hair and dust on hard floors while the handheld worked best for collecting lingering crumbs. Together, they scored 87/100, making the three-in-one system a worthwhile investment for versatile cleaning.
