Side by side
ECOVACS X8 Pro vs eufy E28 guide: E28 can also do manual spot cleaning on upholstery
Quick verdict
The X8 Pro is the one for a robot dedicated to sticky stains and edge mopping. The eufy E28 is the better pick if the dock’s detachable cleaner can stand in for a separate upholstery and spot-cleaning machine.

What this page compares
Two roller-mop robot vacuums, judged on stains, hard floors, obstacles, edge work and portable spot cleaning.
This one comes down to extra capability and manufacturer suction figure first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Day to day
How each one fits your routine
The portable cleaner on E28 does not vacuum dry fur off a sofa
The portable cleaner that comes with E28 is for liquid stains on permitted fabric, and eufy's instructions say to keep hair, fibers and solids out of its nozzle. When the main job is dry fur embedded in a sofa, that accessory is no replacement for a dry vacuum. E28 is the pick if the separate, attended liquid-spot task is useful to you. X8 is the pick if you already own an extractor and put robot floor cleaning first.
Where this comes from
The portable extractor is a different thing from the floor robot and from dry handheld cleaning. You have to run it yourself and follow the guidance on fabric and solution, and including it does not approve pet-waste pickup.
Carpet comes first on this route, but the right rug limits still apply
With X8's Carpet First function, carpet gets vacuumed ahead of the wet mopping, so there is less reason to cross rugs after a wet pass. E28's setup guidance also asks for vacuum-first cleaning, plus no-go zones around rugs thicker than 26 millimeters. Let the actual route and rug types in your home decide. Neither sequence makes it safe for a wet roller to cross every moisture-sensitive, curled or fringed rug.
Where this comes from
The order of cleaning and which rugs are eligible deal with separate risks. The figure for E28 is the maker's no-go guidance for thick rugs, and X8's carpet-first feature describes a sequence. It does not approve every material.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | ECOVACS DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI | eufy Omni E28 | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra capability | Dedicated robot and OMNI dock | Dock includes a detachable portable deep cleaner | When you intend to use this function, whether the unit has it can decide your shortlist. |
| Manufacturer suction figure | 18,000 Pa | 20,000 Pa | Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With ECOVACS DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI
- The onboard bin is compact at 220 ml, and small-object avoidance tested below average.
With eufy Omni E28
- In larger homes, the 300 ml onboard bin means it has to return to the dock to empty more often.
