Eureka J15 pro ultra review

Eureka J15 pro ultra review: introduction

• Type: robot vacuum with racks
• Cosmic Union: Native spring and self -embedded
• Navigation system: Lidar

Eureka is just one of a large number of brands that seek to make a dip in the world of robot cleaning, but it is a brand with some pedigree to keep their floors impeccable.

Founded in 1909, the Detroit -based company has been making vacuum for more than a century, and perhaps is better known by the powerful mite, which was a great success in the early 1980s.

But they are the robot vacuum cleaners in which the company now focuses, with the new J15 range creating a lot of rumors in the last two commercial exhibitions. The Eureka J15 pro ultra, which is in test here for this review, was first announced in Ifa in September last year and is currently the flagship product of the range.

However, I must emphasize that “currently”, since the Eureka J15 Max Ultra showed up in January 2025, and will go to the top of the tree when it goes on sale next month.

However, it does not allow that to subtract the attractiveness of the J15 Pro Ultra, who remains a high -end artist at a fairly competitive price, although still expensive.

A little less than $ 1,000 in the United States, it faces the tastes of Shark Powerdetect Nevertauch pro 2-IN-1, which blows from the water specification and performance in terms of yield. It is a robot that has more in common with the most expensive models such as Dreame L40 Ultra and Roborock S8 Maxv Ultra.

The J15 pro ultra packs many first, including a self -limp base that not only cleanses the robot mop but also in itself, and has a hair detection system with improved cheek to eliminate one of the most annoying maintenance tasks.

Continue reading for our complete review of Eureka J15 Pro Ultra, which explains in depth why he impressed so much in the tests, but also why some software problems disappoint it a bit.

Design and components

• Unique form
• House -based obstacles
• Multiple qualifications coupling station

It is not a return to the bold Neato designs of Yesteryar, but the J15 pro ultra looks an elegant, slightly square and modern appearance, which helps him stand out from the circular crowd.

However, it is a fairly thick beast with 13.94 × 13.98 × 4.61 inches, so it will not slide under super low furniture according to the tastes of Roborock Qrevo Slim.

Above there is a Lidar Sud unit, which uses to navigate next to an RGB camera, along with two buttons: one to start one cleaning and another to send it to its base to its base.

Turn it and see a couple of trapisas wheels, a main cup unit that is a kind of mixture of old and new ideas with rubber grooves and a firm brush, in addition to a side brush, which extends for closer edge cleaning.

However, the base station, considering all the technologies and tanks that Paste, is one of the most compact and attractive designs that we have seen for a unit all in one.

Paste a pair of water tanks, one for clean water and another for dirty, as well as a dump for waste and, most impressive, Eureka flexirazor technology that actively cuts the hair of the brush roll with a blade.

The 8 in 1 spring automates almost all aspects of cleaning maintenance, including drying and autolimpiece of the mop trayer.

Characteristics

Like all modern robbery cleaners, everything you want to do with the J15 Pro Ultra is controlled through the complementary application, which is available both in iOS and Android.

However, before starting, you will have to create an account, which is always an additional step that could dispense; But you can use Google, Facebook or Apple ID if you wish, which makes the process less exhausting.

Actually, it is a very elegant neo-not-not application, but it is a bit slow and slow. A good touch is the home screen whenever the robot is doing: fill water, stormwashing, cut the hair, etc., and how long the process remains.

The first thing that will do, as with most modern robots, is to send it in a recognition mission, map their floors plan, solve the design of the room and decipher where there are carpeted areas, hard wood surfaces and the like.

That is the idea anyway. My test unit failed this task several times. It appeared and created a shit map of a small area of ​​the open plant plane. Actually, I did not get an adequate map design so that it has been cleaned completely on my second day of testing.

However, once it solves everything, the application of Eureka is one of the most detailed we have seen, allowing you to adjust virtually all aspects of cleaning.

You can adjust suction levels (silence, standard, turbo and maximum), mop intensity (low, normal) and even route styles (fast, daily, fine or a unique mode of tic-tac-topo).

The cleaning options driven by AI include intelligent mode, vacuum and mop, vacuum and only the mop and vacuum only. You can also customize the cleaning configuration by room and establish non-log areas, as well as Roborock and Ecovacs.

There are also a lot of configurations that can adjust, purely related to the coupling station; Like the water temperature, the area that cleanses before it returns to clean the muddy pads and the drying method and the time you want to use.

Creating and managing maps is very similar to what we have seen of the big names in space, such as Roborock and Ecovacs. You can merge or divide rooms, give room names, create non -go areas and much more.

In the places where you do not want the J15 pro ultra to go, or that it does not go, or that you warn of the thresholds you can find, you can also adjust all these types of things with the map configuration in the application.

There is a camera patrol option so that you can use the J15 pro ultra as a mobile surveillance system, but, unlike some rivals, there are no pet detection functions. However, what you can do is create videos and images that store in the application.

However, the base station is where things get really interesting. First, it is one of the quietest we have tried thanks to Whisperwork technology, and automatic trays cleaning ensures that the accumulation of rubble is not a problem.

The MOP is cleaned with hot water at 75 ° C and dries completely in two hours to avoid odors.

The J15 PRO Ultra also dates back to the pier for automated “hair cut”, a feature that can be adapted in the configuration. This implies high density blades that rotate 400 times per minute with a reciprocal vibration of 4 mm to take hair tangled by the brush completely from the equation.

Performance

The 16,200PA suction rating is obviously impressive and did not disappoint me during the tests.

He sailed very well, avoiding obstacles and, on the carpets, he handled the dirt from the surface easily, eliminating the flour that had scattered in just one pass.

The hard floor performance was even better, with the J15 pro ultra ultra efficientely, the land releases like dry mud or cuisine of the kitchen easily.

The J15 PRO Ultra provides excellent mop performance with adjustable configurations to adapt to different types of floors.

There are characteristics promoted by AI, including the Intelliview AI system, which distinguishes between humid and dry disorder, adjusts the speed of the side brush to avoid the dispersion of the debris and even detects points that need additional scrub.

However, during the tests I noticed that the side brush was still involved in a very clearly wet disorder, although with the muds of traperation that came to solve the disaster later. Even so, it is not ideal to have wet disorder in the brushes.

Eureka’s Scrubextend system pushes the MOP closer to the edges, with a 98.95%edge coverage rate, according to their manufacturers, and I discovered that its performance in wet and dry spots was on par with its Chinese flagal rivals .

After it ends, dual pads are cleaned with hot water at 75 ° C and dried completely in two hours to avoid odors. The ability to configure these adjustments guarantees that the MOP remains clean and ready for the next job without the need for manual intervention.

However, that does not mean that it is not a totally free issue. You will have to clean the sensors and motherboard from time to time; The application will give you a notice when this is necessary.

Final thoughts

The J15 Pro Ultra de Eureka is full of intelligent ideas and automation that could make it a serious competitor in the premium robot vacuum space. Its autolimpiece base station and its hair detection technology distinguish it, while its high suction power and detailed configuration of applications give it a lot of potential.

However, the slow application and inconsistent mapping stop it from perfection. If Eureka can address these problems, the J15 PRO Ultra could easily become a first level option.

How do we try

When we publish our reviews, they may be sure they are the result of “living” with long -term tests.

Robot cleaners usually live inside an ecosystem, or a range of products that supposedly work in harmony. And are designed to offer a range of different cleaning options. Therefore, it is impossible to use a robbery cleaner for a week and emit a verdict.

Because we are testing a smart home kit all day, every day, we know what matters and how an intelligent cleaning machine is compared to alternatives that could also be considering.

Our reviews are integral, objective and fair and, of course, we are never paid directly to check a device.
