Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro Review: Random Path, Low Suction
Our verdict
The Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro is a low-suction robot with random-path navigation that suits a tiny flat's tile floor but misses spots and struggles with rugs and hair.
Buy it if
- A 1RK or small 1BHK with tile floors and little furniture
- Buyers who want an Indian brand with a service network nearby
Skip it if
- You have rugs, pets or long hair on the floor
- You want a saved map or room-by-room cleaning
- Your home is larger than about 600 sq ft
What we like
- Works as a vacuum and a damp mop in one run
- Eureka Forbes service reach is wider than most import brands
- Slim body reaches under many beds in our test flat
What we don’t
- Random navigation left about a fifth of a 1BHK floor untouched after one cycle
- Listed at only 1,500 Pa, and it left rice and hair behind on a rug
- No mapping, no no-go zones and no obstacle sensing
- Got stuck about five times a week on cables and rug fringe

The Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro is a budget robot for a very small flat with mostly bare tile. The trade-off is clear: low suction and a random path mean it cleans what it happens to pass over, not the whole floor.
How much of the floor does a random-path robot actually cover?
In a 600 sq ft 1BHK, one cycle left about a fifth of the floor untouched, mostly corners behind doors and the gap between the sofa and wall. It improves with a second run, but then you are babysitting it. LiDAR models cover the same area in straight rows in less time.
Can 1,500 Pa suction handle Indian dust and hair?
For the fine grey dust that settles overnight on tile, yes, to a point: it lifted about 85% of fine flour in a single pass on vitrified tile. Rice and larger grit were pushed around more than collected, with around 60% picked up. Long hair wound into the brush within days; expect to cut it out every week. On rugs it did poorly.
Does it get stuck on cables and doormats?
Often. We logged around five stuck events a week, mostly on phone chargers, a doormat edge and a dhurrie fringe. With no sensors for obstacles it simply drives into them, so the floor needs tidying before each run, and it is best used when the house is empty.
Is the mopping worth using?
It is useful as a light wipe after vacuuming, and the 2-in-1 design saves a step. The cloth is dragged, so there is no scrubbing pressure, and a dark vitrified floor showed faint streaks until we dried it with the cloth lightly dampened. It cannot cope with sticky spills.
How long does the battery last, and how loud is it?
We got around 90 minutes on the default mode, enough for a small flat but not a 2BHK. Noise measured about 62 dB at one metre, noticeable but not intrusive. It does not resume cleaning after returning to charge, so a power cut mid-run means starting over.
What about service and spares in smaller cities?
This is the Eureka Forbes advantage. The brand has a long-standing service and spares network across Indian cities, which matters for filters, brushes and cloths. We could not verify the exact warranty from an official page, so read the card in the box.
Who should buy something else?
Anyone with rugs, pets or more than about 600 sq ft should look at the Xiaomi or the Mova E10. If you want a self-emptying dock, the Eureka Forbes SmartClean Auto Bin S2 is a better fit in the same brand family.

Measured on the unit we tested.
How we tested
We used the robot on vitrified tile and a short run of marble, with one low-pile rug. We measured flour, rice and hair pickup, how much of a 600 sq ft floor it covered in one cycle, stuck events per week, runtime on the default mode and noise at one metre.
We bought this unit at retail price.
How does the Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro compare?
-
Mova E10 Robot Vacuum and Mop B− 7.3
The Mova E10 has three times the listed suction and runs more than twice as long for the same money, while the Eureka Forbes counters with a more established Indian service network.
-
Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P B− 7.0
The Xiaomi maps the home with a laser and covers it in straight rows, so it is far more systematic. The Eureka Forbes is cheaper but wanders and misses patches.
-
Eureka Forbes SmartClean with Auto Bin S2 B− 7.4
The Eureka Forbes SmartClean Auto Bin S2 maps with LiDAR, empties itself into a 4L bag and picked up about 96% of flour from tile against about 85%, while the Robo Vac N Mop Pro costs much less.

Questions buyers ask
Is the Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro good for Indian homes?
Only for small flats with bare tile. The Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro has 1,500 Pa suction and random navigation, so it left roughly a fifth of a 1BHK floor uncleaned in one cycle in our test.
Does the Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro map the house?
No. It drives on a random pattern with no saved map, so there are no no-go zones, room selection or multi-floor features.
Can the Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop Pro clean rugs?
Poorly. On a low-pile rug it picked up only about half the flour we spread and left most of the rice, and it snagged on fringes.
How good is the mopping on the Robo Vac N Mop Pro?
It is a damp wipe for dust film on tile, not a scrub. It cannot remove dried stains, and you should keep it off wooden floors.
