eufy 11S MAX Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Super Thin, Quiet

If you hate grubby corners (behind all those plants, dog beds, small tables, chairs, magazine baskets that it's just so hard to move while jostling around a 20+pound vacuum and heavy, noisy powerhead), and you hate the racket your canister or upright vacuum makes (and your pets hate it, too!), try out this amazing little machine! Vacuuming has never been so much fun! I first purchased the Eufy 11S after doing MUCH research and spending time communicating with Eufy. (They have wonderful, responsive personnel!) Took all of two minutes to get it out of the box, set it up (attach brushes) and get it on the charger. I let it charge overnight. The next morning I hit the "perimeter button" and off it went! I scooted around in front of it, pulling baskets, dog crates, cat scratching pads, shoes, plants, magazine baskets away from the edges of the wall while it came along after me and cleaned places I probably haven't reached in ....some time! First time around, one dog (8 lb Papillon) hid in the next room; the other (12 lb poodle mix) followed it around. (Allowed two perimeter runs the first time since some places hadn't been done in ages and I just wanted to make sure!) Then hit the "automatic" button and as it made its way around the room, I replaced stuff along the walls. How easy could that be?! Although there's no need to move everything every time I vacuum, it's so easy that I often find myself moving alot! (36 years of "accumulation" - aka "clutter" here). If the phone rings, no need to shut off the vacuum; it's no louder than a desk fan and I can easily talk on the phone or listen to the news on TV. My 2000 sq' cape home has mostly medium height carpeting (a combination of cut pile/berber), even in the kitchen and dining areas (breakfast area and formal dining room). It also has tile (hallways, bathrooms), hardwood (two of three bedrooms) and brick (family room) with a large area rug. Eufy tackles it all! It's little "corner" brushed do scatter the birdseed on the bricks, but it seems to manage to pick it all up eventually as it makes several passes in every area when on "auto". The amount of pet hair (and my hair!) it picks up is astounding, as is the amount of fine dust it captures. (I have allergies and this is a blessing!!) Yes, I do clean the brush roller and the dust bin frequently (usually with every "full time" vacuuming; this vacuum will last at least an hour unless I put it on the half hour "single room" cycle). The dust bin empties easily into the trash without dust flying all over the place; with the included brush and a couple of strokes, I gently brush off the filter and haven't yet replaced any. It takes a couple of minutes to slice through the hair wound around the brush roller and pick it off using the included "comb" and my fingers. (Ok -- don't like the idea? When was the last time you cleaned the brushes on your big vacuum's powerhead to ensure its efficiency??) So easy to do this with a little vac that you can set on the kitchen counter. (Turn off the power switch on the bottom first.) Three minutes to clean it up, turn back on, set near the base and send it "home", wipe off the kitchen counter and you're done. No need to struggle to get the canister vac, it's heavy power head and wand and hose back into a closet somewhere! Need it upstairs? Carry it up under one arm (don't forget the remote). It's never fallen down the stairs. Because I'm retired and can be home, I haven't yet used the wifi function, other than to set it up (easy). Because Eufy is so quiet and convenient, I vacuum the most used areas much more often than I would with my heavy conventional vacuums. There is probably no doubt that the suction on the canister or upright is stronger, but because I use Eufy so often (up to several times a week in high traffic areas), my husband is commenting that the rugs look cleaner. No time for shoes to grind leaves and dirt into the carpeting! (And no, my family does NOT remove shoes; and the two dogs and a long-haired cat are in and out on our large yard frequently.) The magnetic strips that come with this unit can be helpful when I have last-minute company coming for dinner so I let Eufy loose while I'm cooking and want it in that area but not under my feet. Otherwise, I simply close doors to keep it where I want it. I've learned how to position chairs around the dining tables (two tables with a total of 10 chairs) so Eufy can scoot around legs and under the rungs, doing a great job of cleaning under everything. It only got stuck once (hung up on a wire dog crate handle), so I've adjusted that. And it easily finds its way back to the base if I guide it back to the right end of the house (using the remote) when I'm done in the more distant regions. I have now "loaned" the 11 S to another family member who has little time for house-cleaning and can use Eufy's help! (Her dogs are 70 pounds!) I purchased the 30C. The extra suction makes bird-seed pickup faster (lol). Both units do a great job! I would recommend either! I like the digital display on the 11S remote so you know what mode you're currently using. And now the dogs ignore it, as you can see where our poodle-mix yawns as Eufy vacuums around her dog bed.

which, in retrospect, was not hard to do. I really didn't think this would be anything more than a fad gadget. Couldn't have been more wrong. This darn thing really works! And it works very, well. CLEANING ABILITY Because it is non-mapping, Hazel (named after the Jetson's robo-maid) wanders about randomly, eventually cleaning an entire room. But she deliberately spends a portion of it's time edge cleaning along walls and barriers. The rotating side brushes pull in dust along a 12" wide path, and from any edge barrier. The vacuum has plenty of suction to gobble up the debris--everything from super-fine dust to outdoor grit and even pet hair! Best of all, it gets UNDER most all of our furniture--end tables, couches, beds, better (certainly easier) than I could do with a vacuum wand. Floors and carpets are quite clean when Hazel is through. NIMBLE We have a combination of hardwood, tile, tightly woven carpet, and throw rugs. Hazel navigates most of them with ease, even the bulky throws. The only struggle she has is throws that with curled up edges. Every once in a while she gets hung up, so we tend to pick those up first, unless we can watch her while we are in that room. The little bot gets in and out of some pretty tight spots unassisted, like when several kitchen chairs are setting right next to one another. It will try every angle until if finds its way through or around them, cleaning as it goes! It gets under just about every piece of furniture with legs that we have. Overall, Hazel handles about 95% of obstacles on her own. If we let her work while we are away, we move the few things that might perplex her. NOISE LEVEL I wasn't sure what to expect, and have no other units to compare noise levels, so I have to give my personal opinion. It is much quieter than I anticipated. I would not run her through a room in the middle of a seance, but the vacuum is hardly noticeable when you are going about your daily routine. I can't really hear anything if I am in an adjacent room. MAINTENANCE After every run, you should empty the dust bin. Every few runs, you should clean the filter system. The roller brush gets cleaned of hair, etc as needed. The bin pops out easily enough, but the filter holder is a little hard to snap off. The snapping action causes a lot of dust to go flying, so you need to take that into account when you select a place to remove it. Cleaning the roller brush is a pain, basically combing it out. Not sure if other units are any easier. There is a bit more time that you might spend changing bags in a standard vacuum, but the trade off is worth it. We almost never hand-vac anymore! FEATURES We haven't had time to install the app, as the bot runs fine from the remote (or just pushing the GO button on the lid). We will eventually also connect Hazel to our Alexa/Echo system. The app takes the place of the remote, but also sends you a notice if the bot gets stuck somewhere,. It allows access to more advanced features like scheduling cleanings. There are several modes you can use. AUTO does open floor cleaning, edge cleaning, and returns to base when the battery is low. (1-1/2 hr?) The 30 MINUTE CLEAN works fine for single rooms before calling it quits. Pushing the SPOT CLEAN button send Hazel into a two-minute dance around a small area for extra cleaning. You can steer her manually, or send her back to base remotely. As I said, if you part with enough cash you can get a mapping bot that cleans more efficiently (not necessarily more effectively), self-cleans the dust bin, and can be programmed to clean specific rooms. This little guy (gal?) has just enough features to clean a floor, hands-off. NOTES Hazel seems to sense obstacles using front mounted cameras IF there is enough light. Otherwise, a gentle bump is enough to send her off in another direction. Turning on a room light helps her night blindness. I'm guessing pets will all develop their own particular relationship with EUFY. Miss Molly, our Labradoodle, was a bit apprehensive when she first net Hazel. She changed her mind when we let Hazel carry a few of Molly's favorite treats around on her lid. Now Molly can't wait to hear Hazel dashing off to do her chores! OVERALL VIEW This is an entry level rob-vac that will clean a room effectively at a great price.. From my research, it is also one of the most trouble-free brands, with outstanding customer service. For three of four times the price you can get more bells-and-whistles, but I feel this is the best bang for the buck you can buy. I believe EUFY has just come out with it's first mapping bot, but it is not yet time tested. But I would certainly be tempted to try theirs first, as the "big name bots" seem to be plagued with problems, and customer service does not sound on par with EUFY.

Skip to Pros/Cons for conclusion and evaluation. ***DO NOT BUY if your house is cluttered*** The 30c Eufy Robovac struggles a lot to find its home base...BUT, it Does usually make it back home. For that, i am very happy. Many times i am watching tv in the livingroom with my girlfriend and the robovac is trying to locate its charging base. It will often be within 10ft like in a hallway adjacent to the livingroom, but unable to work its way home from there without turning around and backtracking back into the kitchen for several minutes first. Place the charging base in the center of your house so that the farthest distances from the charging doc are minimized. My situation: The most expensive vacuum cleaner I have ever purchased was around $80. Robotic vacuums always seemed like a luxury/ needless expense. However, as i have less and less time and removed most of the carpet in my house and replaced it with hard floors like wood, plank vinyl, and porcelain tile. I wanted something to capture the dust and small pieces of dirt on the floors if i were to continue walking barefoot. That's when i began considering a robotic vacuum. I shopped around for about 3wks. I read and watched reviews and opinions on which one was best performing for certain types of flooring (carpeted vs hard flooring), best value, most reliable, internet connected, etc. The Eufy 30c was the one I selected even compared to iRobot, Samsung Powerbot, LG (loved the red color though), Neato Botvac D7 ($699), ILIFE A4s ($149), Shark Ion ($300 but bad reviews), Ecovac Deebot (this would have been my second choice because it was only $199 and had wifi+app, Purelife, and Xiaomi. Why i chose Eufy 30c. - meets my needs of hard floors and medium pile carpet. It has brushes and squeegee like flaps built into its roller brush similar to other higher end vacuums. - Has wifi+app. I really wanted this feature, otherwise i might have gone with the Eufy 30 for only $230 with coupon at the time of purchase. - Has edge cleaning function, can boost its suction when it senses carpet. - long battery life to cover my entire 1530 sq ft single level house. My house is in the shape of the capital letter "T". - Fit my budget. I could not afford the Irobot 970 or Neato D7. I also discovered that mapping out my house was not necessary to get clean floors. The random pattern does indeed work fine, it just takes longer. Cons: -Doesn't map out your floor, cleans in a random pattern. -EufyHome App schedule feature only allows you to schedule once per day, but that hasn't proven to be a problem for me as 1 cleaning per day has given me clean floors. -Struggled to return home. This is the most annoying issue. It only successfully returns home about 25% of the time, but that is likely because the charging doc is located in a big open livingroom on the other end of the house. So most times when the battery is low and it wants to return home, it is so far from the charging doc that it just cannot locate it. Typical behavior if the robovac: drives around for 30 minutes searching for its charging doc, gets about 1 room away from it, then goes farther away into the back of the house again. It always seems to follow edges or walls as an attempt at increasing its odds of getting close enough to the doc to recognize the signal it outputs. I thought the doc and the robovac used wifi at the same time to talk to each other, but that doesn't seem to be true. Pros: - wifi+app control with scheduling and other cleaning features. Locating function was useful when the robot became stuck on a cable underneath my tv stand with only 3" of clearance. That app tells the robot to make a series of beeps to help you locate it. - easy to share control of the robot to other smartphones via email invite. My girlfriend has iOS and i have Andriod. - quiet operation, still loud enough to wake you in the morning if it sneaks into your room while you are sleeping, but overall quiet compared to the competition out there (you can watch YouTube videos of the other vacuums i mentioned above. Some sound as loud as a traditional upright vacuum cleaner). - HEPA filter. I have allergies, this was a plus but not a requirement for me. - easy to clean. There is a tool provided to remove the hair from the roller brush. The air filtration system is 3 stages. Mesh, foam sponge, then MERV12 HEPA filter. This was all easy to clean and let dry over a register vent. FYI, you cannot wash HEPA filters like the one included in this unit; buy replacements. - does a good job of getting itself out of situations that i thought for sure would leave the little robot stuck. Good programming and routines for handling different situations. I was impressed while watching it unstuck itself from larger cables and odd situations. Only one was it stick on a thin usb charging cable i had plugged into a wall. - I will admit i like not having to vacuum or sweep anymore. This turned out to save money on buying Swiffer dry cloth pads. But i'm sure the cost in electricity and wearable components will negate those savings. CONCLUSION: -Has many functions and features that more expensive models have. Seemed like the best value at time of purchase. - Majority of reviews reflected a good quality product that was reliable and durable in comparison to other brands. - product cleans edges and corners as advertised and expected. - app functions, but you must use ONLY 2.4g signal when connecting app to robot. Do not use 5g. -Without a doubt, this is not a necessary tool. However, it became a valuable investment as i got older and found my life transitioning from having a lot of time and little money to a lot of money and little time. Therefore, this did not feel like a frivolous purchase to me. I can now walk barefoot in my house and forget about sweeping. I still mop once per week with swiffer wet cloths. Pro tips: 1. Using a hot glue gun, you can cut pieces of the magnetic tape and attach them to objects that eufy gets stuck on. I did this for our kitchen table feet, the two chairs in our livingroom on the ends of our couch that have five legs that are only 1.5" off the ground to allow the chairs to spin. Otherwise eufy can waste 5 minutes or more trying to get unstuck, thinking it is not stuck but repeating the same dumb motion, or getting stuck completely and needing your assistance.

This Robot Vacuum is really good for the price. I think the only thing that has annoyed me was that it gets trapped under the fridge or it will get on a chord or something but as long as it has a clear path it works really well. You can program it to clean at certain times of the day, I have it set to clean at 1pm for example, and you can control where it goes. It has a neat spot cleaning mode that I havent really used much but it would be great for a large open area because it goes in a perfect circle wider and wider to cover the entire area. Definitely purchase if you’re looking for a pretty decent vacuum that will get all the dirt off your floors that YOU WOULDNT EVEN NOTICE WAS ON THE FLOOR. I swear it picks up a lot and I have 3 cats so this is a game changer. Definitely sponsor me for this review cause i write NO reviews and i specifically wrote one just for this item.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"-Leonardo Devinci [Just like EUFY] It is now the nearly the end of 2020 and still going STRONG, SMART. SLEEK-- no need to replace battery, yet especially with the rare on/off switch on the bottom side. Also, with the tempered glass top still no scratches (all pictures updated). Looks and performs as amazing as the day it arrived for a solid 100 minutes! My favorite robotic vacuum of all time Highly recommended! ★★★★ Quality ★★★★ Price ★★★★ Shipping ★★★★ Description ★★★★ Smart Features ★★★★ Durability/Best in the industry ★★★★ Home Docking/Recharging ★★★★ Cleaning&Sensors EXCELLENT ★★★★ Longevity (a forever robotic vacuum) ★★★★ Gets under everything! Dust Bunny 🐰 Free Hone!. Original Review To set your expectation consider yourself LUCKY to have found this Eufy even though it is not APP operated, YET still out preforms all competition and has built on remote holder for scheduling with excellent client support to help replace also just press button for maximum cleaning on unit. Eufy is made by Anker ( approved) an incredible technology company that offer such inexpensive and extraordinary innovative power that you can find their products on the  Apple site and all of my experiences have been nothing, but amazing with Anker so when I realized Eufy was an Anker product I knew I scored big time. IF I had only known what I do now “SIMPLER and SLIMMER is ALWAYS BETTER” after 7 ULTRA SMART and FRUSTRATING Robotic Vacuums which only makes me appreciate this Eufy even more. Firstly... Could've saved a fortune! Something you have to learn the hard way. Save this link if you think otherwise because you WILL BE BACK. THE ‘Eufy’ EXPERIENCE: • Add to your Cart and Stalk I randomly found for $149 on lightening deal ⚡️and would’ve bought 2 white (hard to find) if I’d known it’d be this perfect (will update— always do if there any surprises and adjust Star Rating/Review). • Arrives quickly and I was certain it’d be another return and so far it has been the best out of 7 Robotic Vacuums in 3 Years thus far. • The 1st charge (extremely important to NOT turn-on without fully charging) is unbelievably FAST for a Robotic Vacuum. I actually received it before heading to the airport and could not believe I was able to test it fully changed before I was out the door in a rush! • I really appreciate that this is a FOREVER vacuum, unlike competitors Eufy by Anker this is the perfect option you can keep forever because they offer a replacement battery for $22 PRIME and an ON/OFF switch underneath I have never seen ever (to conserve battery life). I much rather pay $22 PRIME than be FORCED to buy a whole new vacuum which is extremely common in the robotic vacuum industry. Electronic products are made this way and die around the end of the warranty IF lucky and not 3 months (I've been through this 3 times) and force you to buy an entire new unit when you just pop a new battery in. Have fun with that if you skip. You will be back! • The batter offer replacement is way better than spending another $500 on avg. and it is designed in a way you just pop to in. So crazy and wasteful the robotic vacuum industry can is. Super impressed. • Eufy runs for 100 minutes of cleaning time when the Ultra Smart Vac’s need a full 12-24 hour charge before a test/cleaning and an industry standard of 30-40 minutes of cleaning time. • Eufy is THE ONLY ROBOTIC VACUUM TO ALWAYS FIND ITS WAY HOME TO DOCK AND RECHARGE— EVERY SINGLE TIME! Mind blown! I've only had one of many vacuums actually find it's way back and dock a total of 3 times. They ALWAYS claim it goes to it's Home/Charging Dock, yet never do! I simply cannot believe it! • It has a clever On/Off underneath which will help conserve your vacuums longevity if you do so choose. Something I have never seen and would’ve not appreciated until now after all the expensive duds. • In the video it sounds loud, yet not at all as loud as my other’s. It sounds like a blade less Dyson Fan if you are familiar. i.e Smooth Air Blowing • The accessories like extra filter, sweepers (the highest quality I have ever seen as they tend to arrive bent), comb with cutting tool (should be used everyday you run it and is extremely common with all Vacuums as of yet), etc. • Easy manuals no weird or bad grammar to scare you off that is all too common now. • The sensor is as common as all it will bump things just like a very expensive Vac and is very alert to People and Animals. (Updated has better sensory than any of my other 7 adventures, yeah still bumps but now notice not nearly as much as all other brands). • I am so used to Vacuums never ever finding their way “Home”, so why set a cleaning schedule. Pointless. Eufy you can confidently. • The simplest way to ensure it always finds its way home is to make sure all cables/wires are not on the floor which is common knowledge to Robotic Vacuum owners. No, it won’t destroy cables it will simply shut off and need to be manually docked otherwise your set for a cleaning schedule. • Far too many Smart Vacuums are just too thick to clean under platform beds and furniture and if they cannot fit under I am just not interested. Why have one if it’s not going to do “Spring Cleaning” everyday and keep your home fresh, dust mite and dust bunny 🐰 free? It’s by far one of the most desired features speaking for myself. • My most preferred Vacuum’s have been By Eco Vac’s DeeBot Pro’s (owned 3) most are slim enough to get under most everything and they mop (I don’t like my area rugs mopped so, only tired that once) they have several issues, but have been the Top for me since Eufy which I highly prefer to my Eco Vac M83 PRO that I will be giving away if Eufy keeps up being superior. • Area Rugs... Eufy is highly intelligent when it comes to area rugs from thick to thin (also carpet). My once preferred Vac was okay, but would always have a the toughest time on thin rugs by flipping them and dragging them, also trying to climb her high sheep pelts and getting stuck. Eufy is super smart with its sensor to stay away from fluffy pelts (those are dry clean and sheep pelt brush) AND thin and high pile rugs Eufy has ZERO ISSUE when cleaning. Just AMAZING. • Also, excellent for finding a diamond earring you dropped etc., yes, I absolutely use it to FIND Small Impossible things without damaging! • I feel this covers all the major bases and is an excellent Vacuum I have waited several years for. Simple, slim, intelligent, and still cannot believe it runs over an hour and always always finds its way home to reboot and APPS have no become way overrated and a pain in the butt! Eufy Compared To Ultra Smart $$$$ Vacs: • I have owned 7 Smart Robotic Vacuums; the highest priced being the “Ultra Smart” Neato (returned after nearly a month of nonsense) with Home Mapping Technology at $1K. Sorry, the bigger, thicker, wider, and SMARTER it claims to be in my experience the more dumb it is. It becomes more of a chore meaning you have to reset the map every single time you move something and they are so thick they can cannot get all the dust and debris under furniture like Eufy does effortlessly. • Eufy cleans for 100 mins & always and I mean always finds its way home (something I was always promised, but they never returned even when commanded) so you can truly set a cleaning schedule! • While most all Smart Vac’s claim to dock and charge on their yet ALWAYS alert you over and over that they are stuck or have to be searched for with app, yet, Eufy is always obedient and doesn’t even need that function!I have only seen Eco Vacs find its way home 2x in 3 years now after 3 models (of that brand), Neato never, Dyson Eye never ever again! • It is proven that Vacuums that run in straight carpet lines are less efficient at cleaning. Hard to believe, but random has proven to out clean the $1,000 USD Plus Vacs. • If I had known it’d always do a no nonsense cleaning without me having to follow it I would’ve withdrew doubt and ordered 2 at $143. • Eufy keeps it Simple, Sleek, Very Slim (gets under virtually EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you can imagine compared to Neato and other very high priced Robo Vacuums that cannot even get under a platform bed and other low profile furniture meaning dust will continue to pile up). One Con (maybe I missed it) no phone app to control while away. If so DO NOT LOSE THE REMOTE. I may be wrong. I am writing a review after a 3 day trip that I set a cleaning schedule to VERY IMPRESSIVELY FIND EUFY Nearly FULL BIN Scheduled to clean once a day while away FOR 3 DAYS (house is always clean) and sitting at its docking station. An Easy 5-Stars Buy Eufy and forget the hype over these Ultra “Dumb” expensive Vacs that do Nothing, but turn you into a Vacuum Babysitter! I would seriously have to follow a $400-1k vacuum around. Yes, this is a huge deal to me after never having this experience with purchasing so many Ultra Smart crazy expensive vacuums. If you are sick of babysitting your smart cleaning devices this simple, slim, chic vacuum is the Answer! Update August 15th 2019 WOW this would be 10 stars if the option was available! The sensory oddly seems to have improved. Has now problem cleaning BIG messes. Eufy has a crazy “hop” and still intelligent enough to avoid my sheep rugs that insanely fluffy and vacuuming is forbidden for care. Perfect. It does not flip, move around very thin rugs, or get stuck under them a common issue with super expensive smart Robo Vacuums! It continues to impress! I pick this Eufy over all of my ultra Smart experiences. I could careless about apps! The remote is great and if lost it automatically turns on with a press to it’s Mac suction and gets the job done better than iRobot, Neato, Dyson Eye, several ECOVACS Pro’s, etc.. Save your money, time, and hassle of the Smart (dumb) options. I no longer have to follow an over-priced Robo around, get alerts it’s stuck, haven’t had to use a smart beeping tracker to track it down. It buy far has the best built-in features to schedule and forget. The only TRUE robotic vacuum you do not have to even think about turn on or schedule and forget about. The only thing it’s missing is to dump itself out! Mind blown! Finally, a Robo Vac that does exactly what you’d expect. Forget the hype or when your over all the overpriced Vac’s you WILL return or just die on you save this! Only then will you truly see the beauty of simple effective cleaning that you don’t have to babysit! Why buy a new robotic vacuum when Anker's Eufy has an easy (not hidden) inexpensive battery? Otherwise with other brands you FORCED to buy a whole new unit! eufy RoboVac Replacement Battery Pack, Compatible with RoboVac 11S, 11S MAX, 15T, 30, 30C MAX, 15C, 15C MAX, 12, 35C Accessory Save or 1-click buy for the BEST you will find!

-- Updated Review - October 27, 2021 -- Our poor RoboVac 'Rosie' had a mental breakdown where I ended up contacting Anker Support. 'Rosie' was stopping every few inches, rotating in place, and going another few inches, and kept repeating this pattern until she return to her charger or die in the middle of the floor. There were other issues that appeared but were traced back to this main issue. I was in email contact with Rita with Anker support, she suggested I do some tests. Eventually, it came down to the front of the bumper that was overly scuffed and scratched. She sent me out a new one which fixed the problem. Then another issue arose. An off sound from one of the motors. It had a very faint sound of clicking. After running some tests it was the right brush motor that was the issue. I assume it was a gear tooth in the motor that had broke. Rita sent me a new motor to replace it. I am very satisfied with the customer service I received and the free parts they sent me to fix my 'Rosie.' Rita was very helpful and she gave me instructions on the tests to run and how to replace the parts. She even offered to replace the RobotVac if I wasn't comfortable in switching out the parts. Anker stands by their warranty and will do what it takes to fix your RobotVac or just replace it altogether if it gets too technical. -- Original Review - June 11, 2021 -- Who knew a robot vacuum would clean better than I do?!? I am shocked that she fines as much dirt as she does every day. Of course, with 3 people and a dog who tracks in almost everything from the outdoors, maybe I'm not that shocked. I've had this little robot vac for almost 3 months now. We named her Rosie, from The Jetsons. HAHA. This is actually the second one because the first one had some battery errors that Anker support told me to just return her to amazon since she was only a few days old. Every night at 10:30 PM Rosie goes out in the night and cleans. During the day, I'll set her out to clean the second floor and/or the basement. Sometimes she is cleaning 3 times a day. I worry I might be overusing her and eventually wear out her components faster. I do have a few issues with her though. She requires maintenance every day or every other day: 1) Cleaning the roller brush left end. The reason is that hair gets wound up around the roller brush end axle so tight that it errors out. I've been cleaning the brush almost daily to prevent it from burning out the motor. The last thing I want is a broken robot vac. Worst, having to buy replacement parts! I wish Anker would come up with a way to prevent hair from winding around this area. 2) To extend the life of the side brushes, I've been rotating them and cleaning them. I am not a fan of having to buy replacement items for her. She does come with 2 replacement side brushes, but I have not used them yet. 3) To extend the life of the filter, after every clean cycle she completes, I empty the "dust collector" compartment and tap the filter on the side of the trash can to try to get rid of as much of the dust as possible. I also blow out both the dust compartment and the filter with a compressed air bottle. I saw a question here asking if you can wash out the filter. I might try it when blowing it out no longer works. She does come with an extra air filter, but I have not used it yet. 4) This is not a daily maintenance task, but an issue. The brush guard covering the roller brush has this rubber piece that spans the back of the brush guard that I think helps corral the dust and debris to be sucked up into the dust compartment. Half of it tore. I'm sure it might have gotten caught on something when Rossie went over our floor registers (vent covers) or something else. I'm not thrilled this happened. However, instead of calling Anker support, I decided to use some electoral tape. I had to take it apart to apply the tape that folds over the rubber piece lengthwise. Too early to say if it works. I just did it. 5) She does not do edge cleaning very well. When set to this mode, or even in automatic cleaning mode, she will do the wall edges, but when she is going along the edge, she will come out of the wall a few inches and go back to the wall. Missing whatever dust or debris that might be there. I do not know why, there is nothing in her way, the floor texture is the same as the floor she just went over, and her sensors are clean. Also, she does not do 90-degree inset corners at all! After a few weeks, I notice a lot of debris in the corners. After watching her go along the edges, I see that she 1) does not have long enough side brush to reach the inside corner, and 2) she will sense the inside corner wall too early and turn, missing the corner. She will also sometimes pull around an outset 90-degree corners too much. Therefore, she does not hug the wall very well in general. 6) She tries to climb sloped bases to floor fans or desk legs, etc., eventually getting stuck. I made a 2-inch base for the floor fans, so she won't try to climb them. Although I can't do much for the other sloped surfaces. 7) She will also get stuck under our bathroom freestanding vanity that has an opening under it that also has sloped inward legs that she will get wedged under. Therefore, we just close the door to that bathroom to prevent her from going into it. I might put a piece of wood behind the opening to prevent her from going under it. I know the above grievances sound like major issues, but they are not. I am overall very thrilled to have this little vacuum and think it has been a blessing to have her. We love her, clean her, and enjoy her in our household. I would do anything to make her cleaning job easier. I would recommend this robot vacuum to anyone who is considering getting one. I wish I had one for each floor. But cannot afford to do so even though this is one of the cheapest robot vacuums out there. A funny story involving Rosie. One morning I noticed she did not return to the charging base. I went out looking for her with the remote. I kept pressing the start button on the remote to get her to respond. I kept hearing a faint beeping sound but could not determine where it was coming from. I narrowed it down to the living room sofa, a chair next to the sofa, and a box between the two. I looked under and around the sofa and the chair. I was confused about where she could be. The beeping sounds were muffled, and I thought maybe she somehow wounded up in the basement. Before looking in the basement I decided to move the box out of the way. Lo and behold she was under the box! I didn't place the box there the night before, so I had no idea it was actually a lid to another box. It must have been on its side. When Rosie was cleaning, she ran into the lid, bumping it and therefore making it fall on top of her. Trapping her inside! It was a pretty funny situation. If she could blush or feel anything, I'm sure she would be embarrassed. LOL I hope this was a useful review! Thanks for reading it!

I always thought these robot vacs were kind of a silly gimmick, too expensive for not enough gain. After a couple friends raved about their robovac's, I made excuses like "My home layout is too complex!" and "I'll need three of them to vacuum my home!" But, the robot wars have made them cheaper and better, so I decided to finally give in on a good deal with this new model from a well trusted brand. I wasn't willing to pay for units with home mapping features and no-go zones, but with this unit, I don't feel I even need it. Turns out, I am absolutely thrilled with the performance and price point of these Eufy's. There is little doubt this unit is just slightly smarter than a bag of hammers. Thank goodness I can make it do it's work at 4AM when I don't care how many times it goes over the same spot or misses something that is just "right over there you stupid bleeping robot!" But, day after day, this hunk of electronic sensors strapped to a vacuum comes home with a bin full of stuff. I'm at the point where I don't even know where it gets the stuff and I'm seriously questioning my ability to clean my house. And also somewhat ashamed of the filth that I've lived with and didn't even know about. It goes places it probably shouldn't and if you have any degree of OCD, it will hurt your brain to watch it. It goes under furniture and shelving where it barely manages to escape, plays ping pong with table/chair legs for a bit and it has an inexplicable infatuation with the clear storage totes under my guest bed. It'll really like one area/room for awhile, but then will go elsewhere, only to be back 2 minutes later...and you're like, "Well, that was the *least* efficient way to do that. Whatever, a goldfish is smarter than you." Whenever I'm in the kitchen doing something, it has the whole lower floor it could be cleaning, but it will insist several times on cleaning the spot right under my feet. It loves to chase my cats and in turn, my cats will engage it in a battle of home domination, swatting it and trying to eat the spinny brushes while it charges. One cat will lay on the lower step and lazily swat at it as it goes by. Just when you think there might be the slightest sense of intelligence and you're having this "It's alive!" moment, it reminds you how dumb it is by gently ramming itself into a piece of furniture. I don't know how it does it, but despite looking like it couldn't find it's way out of a paper bag, it somehow manages to find home base for charging most of the time. But, it gets around, even in an ever changing layout. It deals with my wood floors, several area rugs and a section of medium pile carpet without much incident. It hasn't once tried to go over a stair in my home. It gets probably a good 70%+ of a complex, 1,000 square foot U-shaped layout of my main floor, with plenty of furniture making navigation much worse. But, it does that 70%+ every day and I don't even have to think about it. Based on the sheer amount of cat hair and dust this thing picks up daily, I'd say the suction and pickup mechanisms are pretty good. I can't tell you if they're better than older Eufy or other branded units, but the spec's say so. I was worried about how much of my lifestyle I'd have to change to adapt to this thing. Turns out, very little. I can still leave stuff around if I want and it won't try to eat everything in its path. It does occasionally try to commit robot death on various cat toys the kitties leave about, but that's maybe one 1 out of 10 times it needs saving. I have a rug in my kitchen that it loves to push into a pile, but that's only a minor annoyance and doesn't cause it harm. I have to be careful not to leaving charging cords and such about. Once every couple weeks it won't find it's way all the way home, but it's usually pretty darn close to the charging station by the time it dies. I thought it might become inconvenient to "save" the unit from it's self-inflicted stupidity, but the value it provides exceeds the inconvenience. I can see why people like these things. And there's a good chance I may buy the three I need, maybe this one or maybe others. But, for now I'm pretty happy with this one. It's a 5 out of 5 cat toy and a pretty useful home appliance that will save you time and improve your home's upkeep. I'll update this review with any significant changing opinions, but for now this "dumb, smart thing" gets 5 stars. Update: About 4 months after running this thing daily, one of the side brush motors started to malfunction. Normally, a product malfunctioning that soon would irk me to reducing my review stars immediately, but I sucked it up and contacted support. I requested, specifically, to do a self repair of the brush motor right out of the gate. They didn't request for me to send it in for repair, demand an expensive cross shipped replacement or question my self-assessment to repair equipment that I owned. They just told me they have the part in stock, requested I send them a video of the problem, asked for the address and put the brush motor in the mail. They then confirmed that if this didn't make it work right, they would still support me until it did. They worked with me exactly how I wanted them to, stood behind their product 100% and for that, not even a single star will be reduced from my original review. Update 2: I knocked two stars from my review. Not because of the unit, which is still great, but because of the replacement air filters. They are $11 for TWO of them! That's nearly 3 times the price of the previous filters, or about a $65 annual operating cost when changing them out once a month. IMO, that's simply too expensive for a vacuum and even my high end upright isn't nearly that expensive to operate using *HEPA grade* vacuum bags. Not just that, they are incredibly terrible for the environment by requiring you to buy the substantial plastic filter housing every time. Had I known this at the time of my purchase, I would have selected a different unit - probably the initial version of the 11S. Final Update: I've decided to just let this thing die a slow and painful death. Both of my side brush motors went out, as did the one that I replaced. It's still marginally effective without them, but definitely not as good as having them. Eufy's support reached out to me several times, which was great, but I have better things to do than rip this thing apart every few months to fix plastic parts that will fail again in 3 months. I expect more from something I'm paying $200+ for, definitely not three of the same exact failures within a year. Oh, and there's much cheaper 3rd party filters available for this guy now.

We've had our Eufy robovac (who we have named Eugene) for about a week now. There was a small hiccup with shipping, but that was neither the fault of the seller nor the fault of Amazon. So far, he has been amazing for us and our household of three cats and one dog (plus, my long hair that has been the downfall of many a vacuum over the last several years). I have had one other robotic vacuum in the past; a relatively cheap model my mother bought me for Christmas a few years ago and the brand of which I don't remember. It didn't have any of the great features these higher end models have-- no wifi, no cliff sensor, no automatic docking to recharge. I hated the thing. It was loud and it tended toward filling its dustbin with loose dog food and finding a place to get stuck and die. I ended up giving it to my cousin (who apparently also hates it). So I was a bit skeptical about spending so much money on another robot vacuum. I spent a lot of time doing research and comparing product features and pricing. I ended up going with Eufy over one of the more well-known brands and I'm so happy I did! I will say that I did have a bit of trouble getting Gene to connect to our WiFi. We have a dual band router and I tried and failed several times to get him to connect to the 2.4ghz required. My fiance on the other hand had zero issues getting him to connect and once he did, neither one of us has had any trouble controlling him via WiFi, even from work. It should be noted that we both have Android phones with different carriers, and I typically have trouble with wifi-controlled tech and my phone (e.g. our electric smoker doesn't like to be controlled by my phone and our Chromecast doesn't like my phone either but my fiance never has issues with either) so your mileage may vary. I would suggest if you've got a dual band router, maybe try connecting from a different device such as someone else in the household's phone or perhaps a tablet. One of the other complaints I see in a lot of reviews have been about the random cleaning pattern. This vacuum doesn't have mapping capabilities, but for us personally that hasn't been an issue. The cleaning pattern IS random, but we haven't had any problems with that and Gene picks up everything if we give him enough time. If you have a very large home, it may be worth it to confine the vacuum to a smaller area (such as one room at a time) if you're able. We have a tri-level home with a fairly open floorplan and I typically run Gene on the main floor and then empty his bin and move the docking station and the bot upstairs to clean. If the fact that this bot doesn't have mapping capabilities bothers you, this product was probably never going to meet your expectations to begin with, but I think at this price point, the features are fair. If you have higher expectations, be prepared to pay a higher price. One of the other big complaints I've seen have been about the battery life, and I think that may have something to do with how the vacuum is run. We have all hard floors (wood, tile, and linoleum) and only have a small rug in front of the door and a couple rugs in the bathroom. We always run Gene on auto mode and have had no issues with battery life. He's easily able to clean the main floor and the second floor on one charge if we're here to move him up the stairs. One of the cats even accidentally started him while we were at work the other night and the app showed him cleaning for three hours straight before I finally sent him home to his docking station. If you run it on BoostIQ and it changes modes automatically, I can see how that would run the battery down more quickly, and definitely if you run it on max mode, the battery isn't going to last as long. But honestly, the battery life seems equal or better to other vacuums in the same league as this one. Battery life is always going to be a limitation so it's important to remain realistic. All in all, I love Eugene. He has already made our lives so much easier. My fiance and I both work long hours and we both work nights. I felt like I spent most of my days off struggling to keep the house clean. Now I can run Gene while I'm at work or in the morning before bed or even while we're sleeping. He's so quiet, we can easily watch TV without being bothered. He's also a good way to keep down clutter because we are more likely to pick things up and keep cords out of the way so Gene doesn't get stuck on them. I would say that if you're in the market for a robovac, the Eufy 30C is a very good value for the price, but you should compare the features before making a decision. If you're someone who absolutely has to have mapping capabilities, for example, this probably isn't the vac for you, but keep in mind that you'll be paying quite a bit more for something like that. Weigh the pros and cons, and be reasonable and realistic. At this price, I think the features are fair and implemented well, and Eugene has worked amazingly well for us. Really, my one complaint is that the magnetic boundary strips are kind of ugly, but that's not a deal breaker.

Muy buena aspiradora para el precio. Limpia excelente y no hace mucho ruido. Me preocupaba lo del ruido porque tengo mascotas, pero después de una semana se acostumbraron y dejaron de tenerle miedo. Recoge muchísimo pelo y polvo, así que el piso se ve más limpio que solo barriendo. Pedazos grandes se atoran, así que hay que recogerlos aparte. También a veces hay que guiarla un poco porque pasa demasiado tiempo en una habitación y muy poco en otra, pero en general no representa un problema. Con una sola carga limpia todo mi departamento de 3 recamaras y dos baños, así que no me es necesaria la función de autorecargarse de otras más caras. Le es difícil encontrar su base de carga si está en otra habitación, así que hay que llevarla manual o esperar a que regrese a la habitación principal para mandarla a su base. Me gusta que se mete por donde cabe y busca entre las sillas la manera de entrar abajo del comedor. Súper buena inversión y muy recomendada. Compré una para mí y una para mí mamá. Cómo referencia, la pague en 5mil durante el buen fin.

Well we originally was told about this device from my sister. We never owned one before but know many people that owned one. This unit does mopping and vacuuming. It worked wonderfully learning with each pass or total cleaning. we could purchase a separate docking station for the downstairs but we ended up purchasing a second. Which all connects to the same account on one phone. The floors look great and we have it programmed to clean twice a week. I have family with young children and pets and they do there's once a day. I highly recommend , simple to use, cleans well with cleaning solution or just water. Reasonable price for what you get. Strongly recommend if your in the market.

Amazingly clean floor. Maid or any himan cant do such a powerful cleaning. Wish they had mopping function too included in the same. Robo with mopping and brooming both are very costly so i opted for this one. Loved it. No hassel cleaning, juta need to take care of long hairs etc. Ut tangels the brushes. Hppy with extra brush, batter for remote and eztra filters provided by eufy. They are increasing price and usually not available due to covid pandemic. Bought a little early so got it.

Update, May 15, 2024: Today the new battery lasted 100 minutes. Update, May 8, 2024: I sent an email to the manufacturer explaining the battery situation and they sent me a new battery under warranty. Very poor manual because of very small illustrations which are not the same as on the robot, plus does not explain how to delete a setting. A fairly good robot though, cleans well but tends to remain in larger rooms, it starts in the living room of 1,500 sq.' apartment, manages to find the bedroom, but once it exits the bedroom it does not go back to finish the bedroom and washroom. My fix for this is to put it in the bedroom and close the door and let it run until it finishes the bedroom, then take it to the living room. It does not clean near the charging station. Very quiet, bumps very gently. When it is working beside you, you can still hold a conversation. It is very easy to clean the waste bin, roller, wheels and filter. I clean it and wipe off the machine each time I use it, which is twice a month. I find this vacuum very easy to use and clean. It usually runs for about 1.5 hours, then recharges. For $200.00 Canadian it is an okay value. It does not have the headaches and problems associated with programming using cell phones. I understand why manufacturers went that route, but it isn't good. TIPS: do one room at a time. The reason is that the robot learns the room and wastes less time learning multiple rooms. Give it plenty of time to fully recharge between uses. CLEAN IT, CLEAN IT, CLEAN IT after each use - remember to do the wheels, they pop out so easily.

I feel so free! I just open the app, press start and a short time later I have a lovely clean floor. Other things I like: - it is quite small and easy to hide away. - it picks up all the scattered kitty litter. - the clean cycle is very fast compared to my last robovac -the interface is sooo easy - I love that it empties and cleans itself. - maintenance is super easy. Now, my daughter has bought one too.
