Home robots in 2026: Dreame A3 AWD Pro mower and Eufy Omni S2 vacuum reviewed
By S. Dahani and the RealDigitalTech editorial team
A LiDAR robot mower that needs no satellite signal and a flagship robot vacuum with a roller mop. Reviewers like both, but the prices are high and neither is flawless.
Quick Take
Key figures
Dreame A3 AWD Pro: the robot mower
Gizmodo tested the A3 AWD Pro in August 2026. It uses LiDAR to map the garden, so it needs neither boundary wire nor a satellite (RTK) antenna, and all-wheel drive to climb slopes. The 3500 version covers up to about 0.87 acre.
| Topic | Favourable view | Reserved view |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Accurate LiDAR mapping without a satellite antenna. | Obstacle avoidance is good but not perfect. |
| Terrain | All-wheel drive handles slopes and bumps. | On wet, uneven ground it left bald patches and ruts. |
| Features | Full app control and scheduling. | No checkerboard cutting pattern at the time of testing. |
| Price | Frequent discounts to about $2,700. | Cheaper rivals exist, such as the Segway Navimow X430 (about $2,500) or Roborock RockNeo Q110H (under $2,000). |
Score: 3.5/5 from Gizmodo.
Eufy Omni S2: the robot vacuum
Released in March 2026, the Omni S2 is Eufy's flagship vacuum and mop. Its roller mop is washed in the dock with water heated to 70 °C.
- Cleaning: 30,000 Pa of suction and a roller mop that reviewers find very effective.
- Obstacles: Android Authority recorded no collisions with obstacles in its test and gave it an Editors' Choice award.
- Mobility: it climbs thresholds up to 42 mm.
- Noise: a quiet mode around 55 dB, but Android Authority finds it slightly louder than rivals.
- Reliability: TechRadar's first unit failed and was replaced; a spare parts kit costs about £80.
Scores: 4.5/5 overall from TechRadar, but only 3.5/5 for value.
Verdict
Both robots are among the best of their kind in 2026, but you pay for it. The Dreame suits large or sloping gardens where satellite reception is poor; for a flat lawn, a cheaper model will do. The Eufy Omni S2 is excellent at cleaning and avoiding obstacles, but costs a few hundred dollars more than similar rivals. Before buying any robot, check local availability and after-sales support, as rules and import conditions for connected robots can change from one country to another.
