At CES 2026, Anker debuted the Eufy S2, a powerful robot vacuum and mop hybrid that cleans your floors while also perfuming your home.

According to the company, the robovac features a built-in “aromatherapy system” with scent options that include bamboo, sage, bergamot, lychee, citrus, and basil. The idea is to perfume your space while the robot cleans, though how noticeable — or welcome — that will be in everyday use remains to be seen.

Aside from trying to make your home smell like a spa, the Eufy S2 also is a powerful cleaning machine — at least on paper. It’s rated for up to 30,000Pa of suction, placing it near the top of the category. While suction alone doesn’t tell the whole story, a figure this high suggests the Eufy is designed to handle heavier cleaning jobs, not just basic maintenance. The robot also uses AI-powered obstacle detection and real-time 3D mapping to identify rooms, avoid messes, and steer clear of more than 200 objects, including smaller obstacles like rug tassels.

On the mopping front, the Eufy S2 includes a roller mop that cleans itself up to six times per second using electrolyzed water, which Anker says helps kill bacteria without relying on added chemical cleaners. It can also lift itself up to two inches to keep carpets dry, while applying up to 3.3 pounds of downward pressure when mopping hard floors. The mop can also extend up to 15mm to better clean along baseboards and edges, and Anker says its new DuoSpiral brush is designed to reduce tangling.

Rounding things out is a cleaning station that can refill the onboard water tank, automatically empty the dustbin, and wash and dry its own mops — essentially creating a nearly hands-free cleaning experience.

The $1,599 robot vacuum will be widely available starting January 20th, with a US presale beginning on January 6th.
