Eureka incorporates AI to more robot vacuums

Eureka E20 Plus comes with DuoDetect feature

Published

In this AI era, having smarter home appliances is a huge plus. And Eureka is democratizing AI in its own way by incorporating them to its more affordable electronic offerings. Recently, the Detroit, Michigan-based brand rolled out the Eureka E20 Plus robot vacuum.

An improvement from the Eureka E10s released last year, the E20 Plus features enhancements in cleaning performance, anti-tangle capability, and obstacle avoidance. It also comes with AI features for users to utilize and make house chores a lot more seamless.

Eureka DuoDetect

The E20 Plus is equipped with DuoDetect AI 3D Obstacle Avoidance technology. This was previously only present on the flagship Eureka J20, which costs US$ 1,099.99. The E20 Plus, meanwhile, retails for significantly less at just US$ 499.99.

The AI-powered feature relies on a dual-line laser in front, which functions similarly to human eyes. This enhances precision in navigating and sensing obstacles. The advanced navigation lessens manual intervention and assures users of autonomous cleaning.

In addition, the latest Eureka robot vacuum comes with advanced night vision capabilities. It can effectively clean automatically under beds, sofas, and other furniture, even under low light. Using a mobile device, users can conveniently schedule cleaning while sleeping so they can wake up to a refreshingly cleaned home.

Multi-cyclonic dust collection

At the heart of the E20 Plus is the 13-cone structure, multi-cyclonic separation technology. This is combined with powerful centrifugal force generated by the suction to separate 98% of dust and dirt before they reach the filter. The technology significantly extends the filter’s lifespan and helps maintain the base station’s suction power.

The E20 Plus boasts of an impressive 8,000Pa of suction power – a 100% improvement over its predecessor. With such increase in power, the product can effortlessly pick up heavier debris. On carpets, the vacuum can likewise remove deeply embedded dust.

The more recent offering retains the bag-free base station setup from its predecessor too. This design allows users to empty the dust tank with just a press. It’s also more cost-efficient in the long run, as they will not need to purchase replacement bags anymore.

Dyson PencilWash makes wet cleaning feel effortless

Built for daily spills, stubborn stains

Published

on

Dyson introduces the PencilWash, its slimmest and lightest wet cleaner yet. It’s designed for modern homes that value both efficiency and hygiene.

At only 38mm thin along the handle and weighing 2.2kg, it’s built to glide and reach places that usually collect dust and forgotten spills.

Designed to slip into real life

The PencilWash feels closer to holding a broom than pushing around a bulky machine. The 38mm ultra-slim handle sits comfortably in hand, making quick cleanups feel less like a chore.

It steers with a natural twist and lays almost completely flat, reaching under beds, sofas, and consoles with a clearance as low as 15cm.

Its compact build also means easy storage, fitting into tighter spaces without demanding a dedicated corner.

Fresh water only, every time

Wet cleaning often comes with a compromise. Traditional systems trap dirt in filters that can smell, clog, and affect performance over time.

The PencilWash removes that layer entirely. Its filter-free system reduces the risk of sludge buildup and unpleasant odours, so maintenance stays simple and performance remains consistent.

Dyson combines hydration, agitation, and extraction in one seamless motion. An 8-point hydration system distributes clean water evenly across a high-density microfibre roller, packed with 64,000 filaments per square centimeter.

The roller spins rapidly to lift wet spills and dry debris in one pass, while dirty water is continuously extracted on every rotation.

The result is straightforward: you are always cleaning with fresh water, from the first swipe to the last.

Built for daily spills and stubborn stains

The PencilWash offers two hydration modes, allowing you to adjust water flow depending on the mess and the floor type.

Light spills can be handled quickly, while tougher stains receive a more thorough rinse, all with a quick-drying finish that lets you walk through your space sooner.

A 300mL clean water tank covers up to 100 square meters. With up to 30 minutes of runtime on a single charge, it’s designed to clean more of your home in one uninterrupted session.

A lighter way to keep things clean

Dyson continues its direction of making machines smaller and lighter while improving performance.

The PencilWash brings that philosophy into wet cleaning, pairing a pencil-thin profile with the precision engineering the brand is known for.

For homes that value ease, hygiene, and thoughtful design, the PencilWash turns everyday floor cleaning into something simpler and far more manageable.
