Anker IFA 2026 Highlights: New Robot Vacuums, Mowers and a Smarter Home

Anker’s IFA 2026 booth brings together its new MindBase smart home hub, the Eufy S2 Max robotic mower and the Omni E35 robot vacuum, along with additional cleaning and security products.

The company is also beginning a gradual move to a single Anker brand, although familiar names such as Eufy will remain during the transition.

MindBase Stores Your Robot’s Maps and Tells It When to Clean

MindBase is Anker’s new local AI hub, designed to connect cameras, sensors and other smart home devices.

The company has described using connected cameras to detect when a room is occupied, allowing a robot vacuum to wait until people leave rather than following a fixed schedule.

Anker says it can also store robot vacuum maps locally. Anker has not confirmed which Eufy robot vacuums will support MindBase.

For now, MindBase is launching first as a security system. The upcoming security bundle includes the TrackLight Cam S1, Video Doorbell S4 and additional sensors. Anker says the hub will also support many existing Eufy security devices, with a way for HomeBase S380 owners to transfer their footage.

The security bundle is expected later this year, with pricing still to be announced.

S2 Max Brings AWD and a Cutting Arm to Eufy’s Mower Lineup

Anker also showed the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max, which it says is its first mower developed entirely in-house. The new model adds all-wheel drive and an extending cutting arm designed to mow closer to lawn edges.

The S2 Max uses onboard cameras to map the yard without boundary wires or a separate RTK station. Anker says it can cover up to 3.7 acres and handle slopes up to 80 percent.

The mower has a dual-blade cutting system, while the extending arm is intended to reach grass along driveways, flowerbeds and other boundaries. Anker has not yet released a complete specification sheet covering cutting width, cutting-height range, battery capacity and runtime.

The S2 Max is scheduled to launch in Europe in May 2027 for €3,999. A U.S. launch has not been announced.

E15 Gen 2 Also Gets an Upgrade

Anker’s mower lineup also includes the E15 Gen 2, an update to its existing camera-guided mower.

The new model increases mowing coverage to a quarter acre per charge, according to Anker, and adds improvements to the motor, blades and software. It continues to operate without boundary wires or RTK.

Anker also describes a connected-home feature that could allow compatible Eufy security cameras to detect activity in the yard and tell the mower to pause.

The E15 Gen 2 is expected to go on sale in Europe later in September for €1,399. U.S. pricing and availability have not been announced.

Omni E35 Adds Deep Stain Soaking Mode

The Omni E35 is Anker’s main new robot vacuum at IFA, bringing multi-cyclone filtration to the E-series alongside upgrades to its roller mop, obstacle avoidance and cleaning station.

The robot has 35,000 Pa of suction and uses multi-cyclone filtration to separate dust from the airflow before it reaches the filter.

The upgraded HydroJet 2.0 roller mop applies up to 16 N of downward pressure and extends for edge cleaning. A separate CornerRover side brush reaches into corners.

One of the more interesting cleaning features is Heavy Stain Deep Mop mode. Anker says the robot can wet a stubborn stain, allow it to soak for up to 20 minutes and then return to scrub it.

Its obstacle avoidance system combines an RGB camera, LED lighting and laser sensing, with recognition for more than 280 object types.

The all-in-one station automatically empties dust, manages water and detergent, and washes the mop roller with water heated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Anker also says the E35 has earned a TÜV certification covering bacterial elimination, noise, cleaning performance and self-cleaning.

C30 Edge Joins the Omni Robot Lineup

The booth also includes the C30 Edge, a less expensive robot vacuum that uses two rotating mop pads instead of the E35’s roller.

The C30 Edge shares the 35,000 Pa suction but adds an extending mop head designed to reach farther along baseboards. Anker says its side-facing laser can recognize more than 100 baseboard profiles and guide the mop outward by up to 3 inches.

The C30 and C30 Edge are expected to launch this fall. Anker has not announced U.S. pricing.

Pricing and Availability

The Omni E35 is available for preorder in the United States for $999, with shipping scheduled to begin Sept. 25. Preorders run through Sept. 24 and include a one-year accessory package.

The S2 Max is scheduled to launch in Europe in May 2027 for €3,999, while the E15 Gen2 is expected later this month for €1,399. U.S. availability for both mowers remains unannounced.

MindBase is expected to arrive later this year, beginning with a security kit. Pricing and robot vacuum compatibility remain unconfirmed.
