Winter mess has a way of piling up faster on carpets than our motivation to deal with it. Our shoes and our pets bring in muddy sludge, and with more time spent indoors, it quickly builds up on our floors.
And as our energy levels are naturally low during these months, it's smart to invest in technology that will do as much of the work for you as possible.
That’s why I was happy to see there is a rare deal for $650-off the powerful eufy Omni S1 Pro that we've tested and loved in a home with carpets, pets, and hard floors. For a fraction of the original cost, you can now bring one of the best robot vacuums into your home to deal with daily mess and deeper buildup for you.
eufy Omni S1 Pro | was $1,499.99, now $849.99 at eufy (save $650)
One of our long-time favorite robot vacuums, its strong suction and robust roller that never wraps with hair make this a perfect companion for dealing with winter mess without lifting a finger. It also mops hard floors, clearing deep dirt easily with its combination of fresh-scented cleaning solution and ozonated water, which it makes from your tap water, and killing up to 99.99% of bacteria.

The $650-off eufy Omni S1 Pro Will Eradicate Winter Mud and Pet Hair
The beauty of robot vacuums having been around for so long now is that, as brands release newer versions, the predecessors become heavily discounted. While they might not have the latest tech, they can still do a fantastic job of cleaning our floors for us.
With $650 off as a response to the newly announced eufy Omni S2, this is a rare chance to offload one of winter’s most draining household jobs onto a flagship robot that will vacuum and mop the floors for you, and do it so well. It hasn't been discounted or as deeply as this very often in the last year, so this deal really caught my eye.
As we all have lower energy levels during winter, and after the fatigue of the holidays, having a brilliant robot vacuum on hand will give you time back for things that actually feel restorative during these colder months.
In our testing, the eufy Omni S1 Pro proved itself as one of the most capable on pet hair and common winter messes.
Winter mud is notoriously difficult to deal with because it clings to carpet fibers and spreads easily across hard floors. What sets this model apart is how thoroughly it tackles embedded grime, using powerful suction that pulls debris straight out of carpets.
During our eufy Omni S1 Pro review, we found it performed closer to a full-size canister vacuum than most robots we've had the privilege to test, even on thick rugs where pet hair and mud tend to settle. Our tester, Punteha van Terheyden, who has two cats in her mostly carpeted home, said she was able to reduce her canister vacuum use by 90% because of running the Omni S1 daily.
So, you can say goodbye to repeated passes with your best vacuum. And, as the Omni S1 Pro cleans your floors and carpets every day, your weekly deep house cleans are no longer that intensive. Mud isn't as caked-in, pet hair isn't so bountiful, and common household allergens are being removed from your space daily.
Pet owners will love its anti-tangle brush design, which, even after a year of use, has never once wrapped with hair.
Instead of spending evenings unclogging rollers, the vacuum empties itself, washes its mop pads, and dries them automatically, so maintenance is minimal.
The mop system delivers strong, consistent pressure on hard floors, too, making it reliable if you’re trying to clean a floor without streaks after muddy boots or slushy weather. It’s particularly useful in entryways and kitchens, where winter grime quickly accumulates.
Perhaps the biggest advantage, though, is the lifestyle change. Winter energy dips are real, and anything that keeps mess at bay on our behalf suddenly frees up time, effort, and mental energy.
With $650 off, the eufy Omni S1 Pro is an affordable, practical way to protect your time – and your floors – through the toughest cleaning season of the year.
The eufy Omni S1 Pro is discounted to $849.99 at eufy.

It's not quite as powerful as the eufy or Yeedi robots above in robot mode, but with a handheld vacuum that detaches from the bottom of the robot, this is great if you want your floor care to exist in one neat package.

This is our best vacuum-mop combo. I use it at home every week, and it's halved my floor cleaning time. I don't have enough space for a robot vacuum, but this super-powerful vacuum sucks up dry debris and liquid spills simultaneously, while scrubbing away stains. It's perfect for swiftly cleaning wet winter mud.

Unlike a vacuum that just sucks up dry material, a carpet cleaner actually washes carpets, using a combination of cleaning solution, a fast-spinning roller, and suction that sucks away the dirty liquid. The Revolution HydroSteam takes it a step further, using high-powered steam to break down stains. It's so powerful that it completely cleared muddy dog stains from a pet shelter that were two years old.

Currently, our best vacuum for carpet, the suction and cleaning performance on offer here is mega, picking up all hair, mud, and household mess in one pass. It also has extra features, including an anti-odor cartridge, floor sensors that automatically adjust suction when needed, and a 'Lift-Away' pod that detaches from the main vacuum for more lightweight cleaning.

The Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog has the strongest cleaning performance out of every vacuum we've tested, especially on carpets and pet hair with its robust TurboTeQ floorhead. However, it's expensive, and hair can wrap around the brushroll.
