For most homes the Eufy E25 is the better buy of these two Eufy robot vacuums, and it is the more affordable of the pair. It matches the Eufy E28 on the things you use every day: the same 20,000 Pa suction, the same LiDAR mapping, the same self-emptying, self-washing and self-drying Omni station, the same 3 L dock bin and the same Matter support across Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Eufy E28 adds only the portable deep cleaner that lifts out of its dock for sofas, stairs and stains, a feature worth paying for if you clean upholstery and stairs, but not for floors alone. Choose the Eufy E25 for straight floor care and the Eufy E28 if you want that handheld.

What the differences mean

Portable deep cleaner

The Eufy E28 hides a portable deep cleaner in its dock that lifts out for upholstery, stairs and stains, a job no floor robot reaches. The Eufy E25 has no such tool, so its cleaning stops at the floor.

Station size

The Eufy E28 dock is taller and heavier because it carries the deep cleaner, at 21.38 lb against 15.92 lb on the Eufy E25, and it needs the room to match. Both empty into a 3 L bin, wash and dry the mop and dose detergent.

Price tier

The Eufy E25 is the cheaper of the two and the Eufy E28 commands more for the cleaner it adds. On suction, mapping, the station and the app the two are otherwise the same machine.

Robot height

The two share the same 346 x 327 x 111 mm body, so both are tall enough to miss low kitchen toe-kicks and low sofas. Neither slips under the furniture a slimmer robot would reach.

App features

The Eufy E28 lists real-time tracking in the app and the Eufy E25 does not document it, though both run the same eufy Clean app. Owners of neither report missing it in daily use.

Which one to buy if

  • you want a floor robot and nothing more

    The Eufy E25 does the same vacuuming, mapping and self-maintenance as the Eufy E28 for less.

  • you have sofas, stairs and car seats to clean

    The Eufy E28 adds a portable deep cleaner that lifts out of the dock for jobs the robot cannot reach.

  • your home has shedding pets and hard floors

    Both lift pet hair with 20,000 Pa suction and anti-tangle brushes, and the Eufy E25 does it for less.

  • you clean by hand around the house too

    The Eufy E28's removable cleaner handles the upholstery and stairs the robot leaves to you.

What owners say

Owners of both eufy robots describe the same first-week experience: the robot maps the home on its first run, lifts dog and cat hair off hard floors, and then looks after its own mop, with the Eufy E25 owners and Eufy E28 owners alike treating the self-emptying station as the reason the machine is worth it. Where they differ is the extra hardware: Eufy E28 owners single out the portable deep cleaner for sofas, stairs and car seats, and say it is why they chose this model over a plain robot. Eufy E25 owners talk more about value and about the suction doing the work, and their recurring gripes are a roller mop that dampens rather than scrubs, edges and corners missed, and consumables that add up. Both groups mention the same loud dock cycle and the 2.4 GHz only Wi-Fi.

Upgrading from the Eufy E25?

Moving from the Eufy E25 to the Eufy E28 buys one thing: the portable deep cleaner in the dock, for sofas, stairs, car seats and stains. The suction, the LiDAR mapping, the self-emptying and self-washing station, the app and the smart home support are the same, so if your Eufy E25 already keeps the floors clean there is nothing to gain. It is worth the step only if you also want the handheld, otherwise the Eufy E25 is the same robot for less.
