Disclosure: Research-based review: we have not tested this unit. Specs come from Eureka Forbes's product page and prices from Flipkart, Reliance Digital and Eureka Forbes (checked 12 November 2026); hands-on impressions are from The Telegraph's t2 review; owner feedback is from Flipkart reviews. The score is provisional until we test it ourselves.
The verdict
The Eureka Forbes SmartClean Auto Bin S2 is a LiDAR robot vacuum and mop with 9000 Pa suction, H13 filtration and a 4-litre self-emptying dock from about ₹33,000, good for busy homes and pets. The catch: a 1-year warranty, a flat mop rather than a self-washing one, and very little owner history.
Best for
- Busy households and pet owners who want daily vacuuming without emptying a bin
- Flats with mixed tile, marble and rugs, where LiDAR mapping and no-mop zones help
Skip it if
- You want the mop washed and dried automatically; the S2 has a flat microfibre pad and an auto-empty dock only
- Your furniture sits lower than about 4 inches; LiDAR robots are tall
- You want more than a 1-year warranty
What we like
- Up to 9000 Pa suction (Max mode), 5,000 mAh battery, up to 5 hours in Quiet mode (Eureka Forbes)
- Dock empties the bin into a 4-litre bag, rated for up to 65 days
- LiDAR 3.0 mapping in about 5 minutes; app zones, Alexa and Google Assistant
- HEPA H13 filter claimed by the brand
- The Telegraph's reviewer cleaned about 2,500 sq ft per charge and praised corner and furniture handling
What we don’t
- 1-year comprehensive warranty only
- Flat mop: the Telegraph reviewer found oil spills still needed a manual clean
- 9000 Pa is Max mode only; the 5-hour runtime is Quiet mode only
- Only 55 Flipkart ratings; 9 are 1-star, including an after-sales complaint
- Eureka Forbes's own page mixes in copy for a different model (Home Mapping Turbo)

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this robot. Our sources:
- Eureka Forbes’s product page for specs, warranty and price.
- The Telegraph’s t2 review by Mathures Paul, a hands-on test in an Indian home.
- The Flipkart listing and Reliance Digital listing for prices and owner reviews.
We could not verify suction on Indian floors, mapping accuracy, noise, or how the battery holds up over a year.
What you get on paper
A LiDAR robot vacuum and mop with up to 9000 Pa of suction in Max mode, a 5,000 mAh battery rated for up to 5 hours (about 3,000 sq ft) in Quiet mode, and a dock that empties the robot’s bin into a 4-litre bag for up to 65 days. Eureka Forbes lists LiDAR 3.0 mapping in about 5 minutes, anti-collision and anti-drop sensors, “3S” mopping with adjustable water levels, an H13-grade HEPA filter, and app, Alexa and Google Assistant control. The warranty is 1 year comprehensive, with a free virtual demo after purchase.
What independent testing found
The Telegraph’s reviewer got about 2,500 sq ft per charge with some carpeted areas, which was enough for a whole home. Fine dust and corners were handled well, and the reviewer praised obstacle navigation around furniture. Mopping lifted coffee stains easily, but oil spills still needed a traditional clean. The reviewer noted that roller mops on pricier robots do better, and that LiDAR robots need about 4 inches of clearance under furniture.
Claims to treat with caution
- Headline numbers. 9000 Pa is Max mode; 5 hours is Quiet mode. You will not get both at once.
- Product page errors. Eureka Forbes’s S2 page says “the Eureka Forbes SmartClean with Home Mapping Turbo performs exceptionally well”, which is a different model. The rest of the S2 specs are consistent across the brand page and retailers.
- MRP. Flipkart shows an MRP of ₹60,000; Eureka Forbes and Reliance Digital show ₹48,999.
What owners report
Too few to be sure. Flipkart shows 55 ratings: 24 five-star, 17 four-star and 9 one-star. Short positive reviews mention good suction and battery life. One 1-star review says after-sales service never came, and another owner would choose an Ecovacs model instead.
Who supports it in India
Eureka Forbes is an Indian brand with a long-standing service operation, and the Telegraph reviewer described its network as extensive, though they didn’t need service during the review. The single after-sales complaint on Flipkart is a reminder that experiences vary.
Should you buy it?
If you want daily vacuuming with almost no bin-emptying and a usable mop for light stains, the Auto Bin S2 has the right features at about ₹33,000 on Flipkart. Buy it for the auto-empty dock and LiDAR, not the mop. The 1-year warranty is short for a ₹33,000 robot with a battery and brushes that wear, so check whether an extended plan is worth it.

Questions buyers ask
How often do I need to empty the Auto Bin S2?
Eureka Forbes says the dock's 4-litre bag holds up to 65 days of dust. The Telegraph's reviewer estimated 50 to 60 days. It depends on how dusty your home is and how often the robot runs.
Does it mop well?
It drags a flat microfibre pad with adjustable water flow. The Telegraph's reviewer found coffee stains lifted easily but oil spills needed a manual clean. It does not wash or dry its own mop.
Will it really run for 5 hours?
Only in Quiet mode, per Eureka Forbes. The Telegraph's reviewer covered about 2,500 sq ft on a charge with some carpet, which still cleaned a whole home.
Why is the price so different across stores?
On 12 November 2026 we saw ₹32,881 on Flipkart, ₹36,999 at Reliance Digital and ₹39,499 on Eureka Forbes's own store. Flipkart lists an MRP of ₹60,000 while the brand lists ₹48,999. Compare the final price, not the discount.
