## What reviewers found

### Eureka E10s

- AppleInsider: Solid daily vacuuming, especially on carpets in turbo mode, but the 200 ml tank and lack of a low water alert made mopping underwhelming; turbo runtime was about half the advertised 180 minutes. Marked as sponsored content. [Source](https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/11/15/eureka-e10s-review-an-ideal-solution-for-everyday-cleaning)
- TechRadar: Good mid range robot for daily cleaning; mapping took wrong turns at first, mopping handled fresh spills but not stains, and the self empty path sometimes clogged. Runtime at max suction was just over an hour. TechRadar gave a Performance 3.5/5 subscore but no overall rating. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/eureka-e10s-robot-vacuum)
- Vacuum Wars (1.87/5): Strong real world cleaning and better than average mopping for its price, but below average airflow and suction bench results, slow navigation and a buggy app where no mop zones did not work. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/eureka-e10s-review/)

### Eureka J15 Max Ultra

- Tom's Guide: Vacuumed 602 sq ft in 72 minutes, leaving 65% battery. Mopping about 350 sq ft took nearly two hours. Skipped about 168 sq ft on one run and caught on lamp wires and carpet corners. Cited $1,199.99 at Eureka. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/eureka-j15-max-ultra-robot-vacuum-review)
- Android Authority: Strong on carpets and pulled pine needles from rugs. No hair tangles. Water tanks needed swapping about every 1,000 sq ft. Mop pads popped off magnetically on bath mats, once four times in a day. Called it the best Eureka it has tested. [Source](https://www.androidauthority.com/eureka-j15-max-ultra-review-3599189/)
