love that it has a lot of functions and easy to use. I can control via the app which is available to download and set up the time for it to work. easy to clea
I put off buying a robot vacuum for a long time, as I was worried it wasn’t going to be worth the investment however this little vacuum is INCREDIBLE!
Yes, she eats my phone charger and screams “my roller brush is stuck” first thing in the morning until I help her, steals my tights off the washing horse and terrorises my cat but she has also saved me hours each day of vacuuming, empties herself, shows me where she’s been on the app and weirdly makes me smile every time she zooms past. Absolutely wonderful little gadget!
Excellent product. We have a dog and kids so constant vacuum is essential but now a task that pretty much takes care of itself. Used on wooden/vinyl flooring as well as a carpeted room. Excellent performance all round. Empty it when it’s done ready for the next use. Set off on device or on robot itself.
Excellent customer service and after care with queries being responded to very efficiently.
The item got only one brush. In the system should be two brushes at the bottom for cleaning.
This is the second time happening to me.I get the item with one brush.
Please let me know if the two brushes gufy cleaner discontinued please let me know, then I will look for some thing else and return this one. Thanks
The fact I got a voucher which took the price down to a very pleasant buy, and downloading the app and setting it up was easy, and now this little man runs around my small bungalow daily and collects all the bits and dust and cat hair.
I’ve 2 cats who are in and out all the time, this keeps my all over wooden floor dust and hair free. It also seems to have no issues with any rugs, not even my vax can cope with these. It’s easy to empty, it goes back to its dock and recharges after it’s clean. I honestly thought this would be a waste of money but my vax hasn’t been out in over a week! Impressive.
Good but only has one side spinning thing, unlike our other model which has one on each side, so it takes longer. Suction is good on both wooden flooring and carpet. Annoying American accent can’t be changed though unless you change language.
Wow, my house has never looked so clean and tidy. You do have to pick up all the shoes, toys, boxes, wires etc from the floor, which is not a bad thing. (It makes you keep the place tidier than usual). Then just press play and watch it go. Picks up all the cat hair and human hair! Gets into corners and along edges and around chair legs. Easy to empty and clean the little brush/roller. I love it. Especially as I have a back problem and find vacuuming very difficult. Best buy ever!
Once you’ve moved excess furniture and anything small out of the way, this vacuum cleaner does a really good job. If it ‘hoovers’ up something that gets stuck, it stops and bleeps and it’s a simple job to remove. Mine arrived with a faulty plug, but Eufy customer service online was accessible/helpful and a replacement arrived swiftly
Excellent little robot hoover.
After being put off of robot hoovers for years I decided to try (initially the l60) and was blown away by how efficient it was using upstairs that I bought this one for downstairs.
With 2 cats and 3 dogs I was previously hoovering daily to keep down the amount of hair, using both this product and the l60 daily (just clicking the app when I take the dogs for a walk) I’m manually hoovering maybe once a week (aside from a few of the hard to reach spots – quickly whip round with the hand held hoover and it takes 5 minutes).
Overall very impressed. Wife is also happy.
Only negative I have is that for the first couple of times using it it’s fun to walk around watching it do it’s thing.
Easy to clean the brush after use.
Tip: Charge the product only before use. If you charge it in advance and then use it much later the battery drains out in standby mode and it will not last very long.
Got this as a gift. Wasn’t expecting much from it but was pleasantly surprised. It does it’s job very well and seems to get most of the annoying little bits up from hard or carpeted surfaces.
I love the way it returns to it’s base when battery is flat. Only downside was no instructions but once you download the app it’s fairly easy to use. Had it 5 months and it’s been great. One of it’s benefits is you can shut it in a room and it just cleans. It’s particularly good at going under beds, cupboards and furniture where other vacuum s can’t get to. Highly recommend i
The battery ran out quickly. For example, for cleaning a 90 Sqm flat, it has to charge twice. It can not be cleaned everywhere in one go. It remains small debris. I have cats and the device can’t vacuum the small litter left on the floor by cat paws completely, instead, it spreads them everywhere! The mopping is not very strong as there is no pressure or rotating mop in this device. The stains/spots remain on the floor after mopping. If you have a rug it often stocks in its strings. You have to clear all floors for it otherwise it sucks small items such as logo (toys) and stock in the device! The device confused in front of the mirrored wardrobe:)) so kept banging on the mirror.
I decided to go with the upgraded one as I found this one weak.
When I got this about 2 months ago I allowed a few days worth of 2 large dogs fur to accumulate, to add to whatever was hiding under some heavy furniture I struggle to get the stick vacuum under as a test for it.
The result as I discovered after releasing my newest eufy on it, was a horrifying amount of fur picked up by this robot. So much in fact it clogged the dustbin and required a bit of assistance before it could self empty properly.
I’d say it passed the fur pick up test.
My older Eufys, as much as I rate them, wouldn’t have handled that so well.
Self cleaning brush
Honestly this was the main reason I decided to spend a bit more than I was originally going to and got this model over the g40 which was what I was originally looking at.
I have 2 dogs as I said, one of them has fur that sheds in tumble weeds and sticks like Velcro and is also quite long, that fur is the enemy of vacuum roller brushes everywhere, and often requires cutting through with scissors to remove it, it’s a pain. I was under no illusions that the roller brush would be totally fur free given that, but now it’s the odd strand of fur left that’s easily picked off, and not the horrid tangled mess I’ve had to deal with before. I’d say it removes the 97% of fur Eufy claims for it. My other dogs fur it does successfully get rid of from the brush.
I hope Eufy introduces this to all its models going forward, because I don’t want to ever go back to one that doesn’t have it.
I’m satisfied with its over all performance across carpet and flooring.
It’s good at navigating, and mine can definitely climb thresholds above what’s stated, as I discovered when I found it on a high pile rug my older models would’ve gone around, it gave it a good hoover too, bonus.
I wish I got it sooner but Some of the reviews stated that it loses connection, getting lost and can’t find it’s way back to the base. We did lost one map but it was due to my husband movin the base. We had no issues after that. It did got lost once when I interrupted it’s cleaning process but after a moment it did find it’s way back to the base.
My advice is to find the place for the base where no one will bump into it and don’t move it unless its really necessary, and don’t interupt the vacuuming proses by adding mop pad unless the unit is back at the charging station. And when the little fella seams lost, give him time, he’ll go in circles for few minutes and find his way home.
The biggest con I see here:
1.Mopping function is very meh. It’s more like wiping than anything else. How good can it clean with a pice of cloth and cold water only? But it’s ok if you have a dog and want to wipe the floors after a rainy walk.
2.before you turn the robot on, make sure all the chargers, lose cables and small objects are off the flor as it can and will ” eat” them.
Now to the pros:
1. It clean effortlessly. You can just send it to work and relax with a cup of coffee
2. The mapping is quite good.
3. It can work for around 1h on one charge, it goes back to charge itself if battery is low and then continue from the place it finished last.
4. It self emptying every 20 minites, unless you set it differently
5. Self cleaning brush. Real godsend if you have a furry friend.
6. You can set invisible walls and no mopping/no go zones.
You’ll still have to use traditional vacuum and mop from time to time to keep the house clean , but this little fella will definitely help you keep it tidy with a busy life.
I was surprised how much stuff Robovac picked up of my carpet and laminate floors neither of which looked particularly in need of vacuuming! It’s good to be able to leave to get on with cleaning the floor while you get on with other things but you can’t leave it to its own devices completely especially if you have areas with potential obstacles where it can get stuck. It can be a bit frustrating that when it hits a wall or furniture it sometimes changes direction in quite a random way and goes over areas it’s already cleaned, missing other areas completely.We have a quite large open plan kitchen/diner/lounge area so I sometimes put a barrier across to restrict the how far it can go otherwise it can run out of charge before it’s done the area I want cleaned properly. It was difficult to find somewhere to put the charging station because of the location of our sockets and it doesn’t always get back independently. Needs emptying after every use.
The okay: Mopping is good enough for maintenance, but doesn’t deep clean like the X9 can. Overall, good enough to reduce active mopping to spot mopping and every 4-6 weeks (depending on shoe usage and pets).
The bad: The wheel motors are noisy, more so than the video attached. I’ve contacted customer support, who weren’t great to be honest. I’ve had much better experiences with Anker on that front, so disappointing to be told remove the brush roller for what’s clearly a motor based noise.
Time will tell if the noise is a fault that kills the machine or just a quirk of the motors.
Update: Anker, eufy’s parent company, reacher out to address the inconsistent customer service experience. The product is 4 stars right now, but Anker/eufy are 5 stars all round. My family are going to try out some of the other robots in the range as well. Overall, a trustworthy company on the whole that value customer service first and foremost.
I bought this after my Neato started to give-up the ghost with navigation errors and failing to charge. I originally tried another Robovac which has the mop motorised at the top, coming down when it detected hard floors – however, I realised that the solely camera-based navigation resulted in a lot of instances where it would get stuck and was generally not very reliable. At half the price, I was not expecting massive improvement from the iRobot model that I had returned after 3 days – however I must say that the Eufy X8 Pro is a great little vacuum, the LIDAR navigation works well – showing in real-time on the app it’s location on the floor plan and it doesn’t bump into large objects like the camera-based iRobot. Everything seems reliable, although I have had to get the Charge Base replaced already after 4-5 days as the white status light didn’t show and the robot wouldn’t charge (hopefully a one-off).
I like the fact I can eventually add a Self-Empty Station to this for future use, however at the moment I like the fact the robot is out of sight, under the sofa when not in use.

I HATE hoovering. I have a henry Hoover who is a cool little dude who does a great job, but after working all day the last thing I want to do is Hoover. Even on my days off. It’s a chore that I hate doing.
So here I was on a Friday night watching a video on YouTube when the presenter decided it was time to plug their sponsor – eufy and did a short advertisement on the eufy x8 pro.
I was like wow I need that in my life!!
I went straight to Amazon to see if they sold it. They did, for 599!
I went down the rabbit hole of watching and reading as many reviews as I could find to decide if I wanted to spend/invest/blow that kind of money on something that was a major want and not a need. I already have a vacuum cleaner after all.
Every review I found had people raving about this robot vacum and how great it was for pet owners.
I pondered it for a bit. Then noticed that Amazon had a 60 coupon and I also had some money left on an Amazon gift card that I had not used which brought the price down to 500. It was still a lot of money but I decided to buy it, try it and if I had buyers remorse or it wasn’t worth the money then I’d return it and get my money back.
I bought it and paid for it, waved goodbye to the money leaving my savings account. Then waited in anticipation.
So today Ruthy the Eufy was delivered.
I set her up which was so simple and quick. Updated the FW which again was a tap of a button on the screen.
Then I sent her out on a tour of her new home.
I’ve got to say I’m majorly impressed with this little thing. Not as noisy as I thought it would be even on max power. So that a plus. I just left her to it and she had a lovely time going round my lounge and dining room finding lots of things to eat.
She then came back home and emptied herself and detangled her brush bar.
Shes having a sleep now settling into her new place.
I think she can stay. She’s done good. And my dog hasn’t tried to eat her like he does whenever Henry comes out to play.
Early impressions 10/10 from me.
But then I saw eufy and took a long hard look at the various offerings – and back FOUR years ago, I decided to buy this device.
SITUATION:
I have a 900+ sq.ft. flat with large windows and lots of particulate matter coming in from the outside.
So I needed a vacuum which could:
1. Capture all of the hair and dust around (long hair from myself and others)
2. Keep working for over a week so I would clean out the bin when needed
3. Handle the different rooms it would be traveling in (2 bed rooms, a bath and the main areas)
4. Be quiet when it ran during the early morning
PROS / CONS
Looking at the different eufy Designs along with other players, here are the things that made me choose and use the eufy 15C MAX:
1. Suction Power – at 2000pa, the 15C MAX is one of the strongest suction services out there. A different in 500 may not seem like much, but when on a towel or carpet, it comes in handy.
2. Cleaning brushes/tools – this device has two spinners and one rotary brush which drives material into the trash bin, but the spinners have interesting behaviours that make them “okay”. Every so often, one of them stops spinning, but it may be part of the system itself.
3. Battery life – the 15C MAX is a beast and can handle the full flat with one charge and then some.
4. Bin Capacity – the 15C MAX is perfect with the size of the trash bin (600mL) and makes cleaning it out easy.
5. App / Scheduling Cleans – if not for the app, this 15C MAX would be annoying since I would have to MANUALLY control it (as I did with my first robovac). But with the app, it was a dawdle and I simply clean it out once a week.
6. Remote control – a silly addition, but heck – some people like having ANOTHER controller in their hands to control it when it is going at the wrong time.
7. Auto charge – seems to work pretty darn well – except when it catches my trainer’s laces or the fan’s power cord.
8 . Smart home integration – Alexa/Google – have it connected to my Google service but rarely use it, but it does work well when I do.
Things that are a bit annoying about it (and likely all all robocvacs):
1. Mapping service – with no mapping service, this thing just bounces around from place to place. And, it shows when you hear it doing the bouncing.
2. Hybrid (mopping) – with laminate flooring, you’d think the mopping function would be an important feature. But research shows that the mopping is almost like having the robovac scoot its butt along the floor with a wet handkerchief – which will not do a proper mopping and the 15C MAX just does not do.
SUMMARY
After four years (and going) I am still VERY happy with my eufy 15C MAX purchase – whilst I keep looking for something that would convince me otherwise to get a better offering.
UPDATE – JUL 2023: could not get myself to purchase the X8 or any other “scooting” (what dogs do to express their anal glands) mop solution – not very effective at all.
I have been intrigued by the eufy X9 Pro with Dual Mopping Heads, but at 899 – that is a ssstttrrreeettttccchhhh.
