Robot vacuums are always a huge category at CES with innovative models that aim to make cleaning floors and carpets effortless. The latest models combine dry vacuuming with wet mopping, have bases with intelligent self-cleaning, incorporate AI for navigation and object avoidance, and boast other unique features to stand out among the pack.
Every area of the CES 2026 show floor is littered with robot vacuums, along with more being shown at exclusive media events and in suites. We got the chance to see some of the best new models coming this year.
Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni
Alongside a full line of robot vacuums and its entry into the pool cleaning space with the Ultramarine robotic pool cleaner, Ecovacs showed the Deebot T90 Pro Omni. It offers the company’s PowerBoost Charging that quickly and efficiently recharges the vacuum so you can complete a full clean of a large home without having to wait hours for the vacuum to recharge in its dock to finish the job. With strong suction, an upgraded ZeroTangle brush, and precise edge sensing, it’s a great option for families in large homes.
Narwal Flow 2
The Narwal Flow 2 boasts the company’s new NarMind Pro Autonomous System, which includes unlimited object recognition and scenario-specific intelligence. It accomplishes this via two 1,080p RGB cameras with a 136° ultra-wide field-of-view and VLM OmniVision AI. If it can’t identify an object, it will take a photo and send it to the AI model for further analysis. There are three unique modes. Pet Care Mode offers auto-pet-zone cleaning, find my pet, and smart pet companion video calling. With Baby Care Mode, the robot switches to quiet mode when it comes near to the crib, sends reminders for misplaced toys, and avoids crawling zones. AI Floor Tag, meanwhile, recognizes valuable items, assigns them the highest avoidance priority, and logs them in the app with timely alerts. When it detects objects, it avoids them and can also adapt its strategy based on the type of dirt that’s detected.
The mopping function includes real-time water infusion that continuously refreshes it with clean, hot water, raised in temperature from previous generation models from 113°F to 140°F. Its new design includes easy-lift tanks in the base and a sleek frosted glass panel. This is a powerhouse of a machine.
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Steam Ultra
Along with standing out thanks to its crisp, white finish, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra robot vacuum has some neat technology behind it. It uses AI to detect not just objects but also liquids, even distinguishing between coloured or clear and avoiding them based on user settings. It has an EasyPass Wheel that can raise up to navigate thresholds and mats up to 60mm. It can also scale another up to 15mm threshold on top of that, ideal for areas where you might have a small landing and a playmat, for example, in a child’s room. Side brushes and a mopping pad can clean both corners and walls.
Powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing AI chipset, it uses high temperature water and sanitization to help reduce odours as well as clean. A demo showing the 10W suction power lifting a 10kg kettlebell brings home just how powerful this machine is. It can detect both objects and liquids.
eufy Omni S2
If you believe they’ve thought of everything there is to consider for robot vacuums, think again. The eufy Omni S2 has a built-in aromatherapy system with a tiny, replaceable diffuser you can swap out every two months or so (depending on use) to fill your home with a light fragrance during every clean. It comes with three scents to get you started: Citrus and Basil, Bamboo and Sage, and Bergamot and Lychee. They’re indeed refreshing and not too overpowering, similar to what you’d get from a room air freshener. The high-end system has eufy’s upgraded HydroJet 2.0 self-cleaning mopping system that electrolyzes tap water to kill 99.99% of common household germs.
It also works with voice assistants, including Siri, Alexa, and Google Home. It can automatically detect a carpet type and adjust suction accordingly. It can also lift up to 5cm to scale layered mats and small thresholds. The CleanMind AI system uses 3D sensing and machine learning to avoid common household objects.
Eureka Z50
For those who don’t need a top-line model, the Eureka Z50 is a mid-tier option with a continuous roller system for wet mopping. It has a scraper that removes dirt as well. A neat feature is the Smart Roller Cove, which not only lifts the roller when it approaches carpets but also shields it in a sealed chamber to prevent damage and moisture on carpets. Along with a zero-tangle dual rotating main brush, it has a bionic dragon-claw side brush, intelligent navigation with AI sensors, and obstacle avoidance.
Eureka E10 Evo Plus
As a solid new entry option for those buying their first robot vacuum or who live in smaller apartments, the Eureka E10 Evo Plus offers decent 10,000Pa suction that can clean both floors and carpets. It comes with dual anti-tangle brushes and a self-empty station that doesn’t require bags in the transparent dust tank. It’s ultra-compact so it can navigate tight spaces and multi-room layouts.
Dreame Cyber X Ultra
Dreame is showing off many vacuums and other products, but the Cyber X Ultra is drawing crowds. The concept robot vacuum, which was first shown at IFA 2025 in Berlin last year, is a traditional circular robot vacuum that scoots into a Bionic QuadTrack chassis that serves as a stair climbing system. Yes, it can really climb up staircases to clean another level of the home once it’s finished one level. The legs have rubber treads that provide good grip, able to scale stairs as high as 9.8 inches and slopes up to 42°. It can even handle curved staircases. The demo I saw was impressive, the robot slowly climbing up a small flight of stairs, stopping on the landing, turning around, and going down another set of stairs. It’s a great way to ensure a full clean of the entire home, even if you’re not there.
As if that weren’t enough, there’s also a built-in water tank for wet mopping along with a navigation system to avoid obstacles. It’s not a saleable product just yet, but this represents the future of robotic cleaning. Note that Dreame does have other robot vacuums that are in market now and can scale small landings, including the new Dreame X60 Max Ultra, which can scale heights of up to 3.4 inches, an increase from last year’s X50 model that could go up 2.4-inch landings.
Roborock Saros Rover
Roborock knows robot vacuums, and the company is always on the cutting edge of innovation. This year at CES, the company is showing the Saros Rover that has a two-wheel leg architecture for reaching, lifting, and height that mimics human mobility. It can raise and lower the wheel legs independently, jump over items, make agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes while maintaining a level body. A demo at CES showcases all these moves in a fun dance sequence as the robot shows off its agility to music.
It uses AI alongside motion sensors and 3D spatial information. What sets this model apart is that it doesn’t just scale steps, it can also clean each one as it moves. Roborock says Saros Rover is more than just a concept, it’s an actual product in development that will be coming to market. But there’s no confirmed launched date just yet.
Robot vacuums and the evolution of home cleaning
From stair-climbing concepts to AI-powered navigation and even built-in aromatherapy, robot vacuums at CES 2026 are pushing far beyond basic floor cleaning. Whether you’re looking for a hands-free helper for a large family home, a compact option for apartment living, or a glimpse at what robotic cleaning could look like in the near future, this year’s show proves that the category continues to evolve in smart and surprising ways.
