Eufy C28
The always-fresh roller mop formula at a price that undercuts the flagships.
Tested & updated June 12, 2026
The C28 takes the S1's best idea — a roller that never mops with dirty water — and sells it at a mid-range price. It gives up some scrub pressure and polish, but the value math is hard to argue with.

Full review
01Design & dock
The C28 is Eufy democratizing its roller-mop tech: the same HydroJet concept as the S1 — a full-width roller continuously rewetted with clean water and scraped clean as it spins — packaged with a simpler all-in-one station that washes, refills, and heat-dries. The dock is noticeably more compact than the flagship towers, which matters in apartments.
02Mopping & vacuuming performance
In our dried-stain grid the C28 cleared 7 of 12 in a single pass — behind the S1's 9, ahead of nearly every pad-based combo. The roller's always-clean-water advantage shows most on large floors: no grey streaks in the final room. On the vacuum side, 15,000 Pa of suction posted strong hard-floor numbers and decent low-pile carpet pickup, with automatic mop lifting over rugs.
03Navigation & app
LiDAR mapping is quick and reliable, and the Eufy Clean app covers rooms, zones, schedules, and water levels in the same clean interface as the rest of the lineup. As with most of the mid-range, there's no camera obstacle avoidance — cables and socks are on you. Mapping our test space took one run.
04Who should buy it
Buy the C28 if the S1's roller-mop pitch speaks to you but its price doesn't. You give up some scrub pressure on baked-on messes and a half-step of dock refinement; you keep the core no-dirty-water advantage that makes roller mops worth choosing over pads.
