eufy Omni S2 vs C28: Carpet protection favors S2 in a mixed-floor home

The short answer

The S2 is the better mixed-floor fit when obstacle sensing and carpet protection lead the decision. The C28 makes more sense for hard floors, stains and pet hair at a lower tier.

About this comparison

Compare two eufy roller-mop robots by carpet care, obstacles, pet hair, dock hardware and price tier.

The practical choice turns on strongest fit and mop approach, then on the constraints in your own setup.

Before you choose

How they fit your plans

A low sofa can rule out C28 before the cleaning comparison

C28's approximately 4.4-inch body is about 112 millimeters high, so it cannot enter a genuinely 105-millimeter opening. S2's support guidance also warns against furniture below 100 millimeters, leaving little margin near that boundary. If low-sofa access is essential, check the exact S2 body, route width and lowest crossbar before choosing it. C28 remains suitable when the furniture is high enough or that area is cleaned separately.

Facts behind this advice

The example compares physical dimensions, not navigation success. A nominal gap slightly above a body measurement can still fail because of floor unevenness, cables or a lower internal crossbar.

A dusty first mop may require several dry passes first

C28 recommends two or three vacuum-only passes before initial mopping when accumulated dust and hair could cause streaks. S2 also recommends vacuuming first. If you expect a first-day roller pass to remove a long-neglected layer in one go, adjust that plan before choosing either. Favor the system whose extra preparation and later maintenance you will follow, rather than treating a continuously washed roller as permission to skip dry pickup.

Facts behind this advice

This is a startup-workflow requirement, not a new cleaning-performance ranking. The additional vacuum passes occur before wet cleaning and do not establish a fixed number of passes for every room.

Winner by situation

Start with what you need it to do

  • Mopping matters as much as vacuuming

    For mop approach, eufy Omni S2 records “Self-washing roller” and eufy Omni C28 records “HydroJet roller”. This changes the hands-on cleaning, filling or disposal work required during ownership.
