There’s something magical about a device with multiple purposes that you don’t see every day, and that’s what’s happening with the Eureka Dual Washing Bot. This do-it-all machine is actually 4 appliances in 1. At first glance, you might think it’s a washing machine, and you’d be right. It is a washing machine. But it can also dry your clothes in the same drum. Making it a washer and dryer combo. Open up the front-loading door and toss your dirty clothes in, and the Eureka Dual Washing bot will get them nice and clean. Once they’re clean, it dries them for you.
This alone would already be pretty neat but Eureka isn’t stopping there. This machine also acts as the base station for a robot vacuum. And that robot vacuum can also mop your floors in addition to cleaning them of dirt and debris. Eureka’s multi-function appliance isn’t the kind of thing that comes around a whole lot. So when it pops up at CES it’s hard not to stand up and take notice.
Eureka Dual Washing Bot is loaded with features
If it wasn’t enough that the Dual Washing Bot was a 4-in-1 device, it’s also loaded with all kinds of features. Eureka doesn’t talk about them all but it does mention some of the key highlights. For instance, the robot vacuum has a suction power of 5,000 Pa. That’s about half of the suction power of the new Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra we checked out at CES. This puts the robot vacuum in the Dual Washing Bot kind of in the mid-range tier for robot vacuums. At least where the suction power is concerned.
That being said, the utility of the vacuum being able to mop on top of its base station cleaning your clothes is likely to be appealing to a lot of consumers. Having all of these things in one single unit also saves on space. And that’s not usually a bad thing, especially if you live in a smaller home where every bit of extra space counts.
The vacuum’s base station can also self-empty the bin when it’s done cleaning, and there’s enough room to hold all that stuff picked up off your floors for up to two months. What’s more, the washing machine unit uses a single power cord hookup, and it’s connected to your water line to feed the washing machine. This also allows it to refill the water tank in the vacuum for the mopping function. Plus, a second pipe connection can empty the dirty water before the refill. The whole thing is a cohesive unit.
That being said, Eureka doesn’t mention pricing or availability. It is noted though that the Dual Washing Bot is based on the ‘Washbot’ from Eureka’s parent company Midea. The Washbot even looks the same and appears to have all the same features.
