With a blend of powerful suction, precision mapping, and some impressive multitasking skills, this robo-cleaner claims it can transform your floors and maybe even your life. But does it deliver a spotless performance or leave us wishing for a mop? Grab your coffee, and let’s dive into this witty, dust-busting adventure. This is our Eureka Forbes SmartClean With Auto Bin Vacuum Cleaner Review.
Eureka Forbes Smart Clean With Auto Bin Vacuum Cleaner Review: Design
The Smart Clean looks like a gadget straight out of a sci-fi flick. Its compact, low-profile design ensures it slips under furniture with ease. Measuring 34.5 cm in diameter and just 9.6 cm in height, this robo-vacuum is perfect for squeezing into those hard-to-reach spots. It even includes bumpers to shield it from your furniture’s wrath.
There are two buttons located on the top of the VC. One to turn it on/off and the other to command it to go back to its docking station/AutoBin. Talking about which, the AutoBin feature is a standout—a touchless dustbin that opens with a wave. Sleek, hygienic, and eerily futuristic. It’s like having a robotic butler who never takes a coffee break.
The Eureka Forbes Smart Clean With Auto Bin Vacuum Cleaner also comes with a wet mop attachment as well as 2 brush spinners that can make sure that the floor left behind is sparkling clean.

Eureka Forbes Smart Clean With Auto Bin Vacuum Cleaner Review: Performance
With a 5,000 Pa HyperSuction (in Max mode) motor, the Smart Clean doesn’t just clean—it obliterates. Whether it’s crumbs, pet hair, or that mysterious fluff hiding under the couch, this vacuum’s suction power has you covered. For quieter moments, drop to the “Quiet” mode, where the noise dips below 75 dB, making it ideal for nighttime cleanups.
The dual cleaning function—dry vacuuming and wet mopping—proves its worth. Four water levels (Dry to High) mean you can customize the mopping to tackle anything from light stains to stubborn spills. Indian households will appreciate its ability to handle everything from marble to carpeted floors with aplomb.
Over that, the Advanced LiDAR 3.0 Navigation feels like magic. It maps a 1,000 sq. ft. area in just five minutes (as the company claims) and remembers up to five maps for different floor layouts. We tried this feature and it was able to map a 160-180 square yard area in about 15-20 minutes. It can take a week bit longer in homes that have a lot of furniture or obstructions on the ground.
The anti-collision and anti-fall sensors ensure it avoids embarrassing tumbles, like falling down the stairs or colliding with your prized vase. While it does hit the wall at times when mapping, once done it knows from the second clean-up session where to do what.
The smart app is not the company’s own, but a third-party app called ‘Smart Life’ that is developed in Hong Kong. Overall, it is a good app that does the job well. From scheduling cleanups to setting no-go zones, the app ensures you’re in control—even when you’re not home. Voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant feature is also available in case you have these smart devices at home.
Equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, this robo-vac boasts up to five hours of uninterrupted cleaning in Quiet mode. Again, that is claimed by the company. We got just under 4 hours from it at medium levels of suction. You can get more if you drop the suction level to a bare minimum. However, when it needs a juice boost, it heads back to the docking station. The only drawback, during power outages, it may lose its way, turning into a confused wanderer.

From dealing with monsoon mud to pet fur, the Smart Clean is tailored for Indian households. Its HEPA filtration ensures allergens are trapped, making it perfect for families with allergy sufferers. It can climb over carpets that as 15mm in thickness. This worked fine for us as most of our carpets were under that size. Thicker carpets might be a trouble for this one.
Verdict
At Rs 34,999, the Eureka Forbes Smart Clean with Auto Bin isn’t just a vacuum—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. It tackles cleaning with precision, handles Indian households’ unique needs, and even takes voice commands. While it isn’t perfect (a bit of carpet drama and occasional docking confusion), the pros far outweigh the quirks.
If you’re tired of wrestling with mops and battling your maid who does not turn up, this robo-vac might just be your next best friend. Who knew cleaning could be this… entertaining?
