Eufy’s sterilization-focused robot vacuum is the product I’m most looking forward to checking out in Berlin.

As a Pet Parent to 3 Asthmatic Cats, I’m Eyeing This New AAFA-Certified Vacuum at IFA 2026

An award-winning staff has selected and tested the new Anker products for the IFA 2026 conference. Among these, the Omni E35 robot vacuum and robot mower stand out for their key improvements and features over previous generations. The Omni E35, potentially the last Eufy model, is designed to address the needs of asthmatic cats due to its sterilization and disinfection capabilities.

It is TÜV Rheinland-certified for the "Maternal and Infant Cleaning Robot mark" and has been recognized by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America as the first and only robot vacuum to earn the Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification. This vacuum is equipped with 35,000 pascals of suction and the Hydro Jet 2.0 self-cleaning roller mop, along with a kitchen deep clean mode that tackles tougher stains.

It will be available from September 25, with pre-orders starting on September 4 at $900 (originally $1,100). The Eufy S2 Max, Anker's first robot mower developed entirely in-house, features vision-based SLAM navigation, real-time 3D mapping, all-wheel drive, and a dual blade system. Its availability in the US and pricing are yet to be determined, but it will be launched in EU markets in May 2027. Anker plans to consolidate all its sub-brands under the Anker brand.
