This is our second Eufy robot vacuum. The first one was the kind that just randomly vacuums wherever it wants until the battery dies, and it always had a full dirt cup so we trusted that it was getting the job done. The problem was pet accidents (are they?) from a particular dog (not a puppy) in our household. I thoroughly cleaned the thing several times, but I had to take it apart and by the 5th or 6th time this happened I just had to get rid of it and we went without a robo vacuum, and we noticed, and we missed it. I am absolutely not spending more than $300 on one of these robots, since any vacuums in homes with pets inevitably become stinky after a while even if they're not running over poop, so the Eufy has the right price and the technology is good.I'm delighted with this one so far. It sounds way more powerful, I can hear it cranking into high suction when it goes over the rug, and the room mapping means I can give it a sequence and it will work on one room at a time. I love being able to check in the app and see if it's stuck somewhere or if it actually finished vacuuming the whole area. We used to lose the old one that didn't have accurate positioning.I just moved a big potted plant and it left some dirt on the floor. I opened the app and tapped on zone mode and drew a little square where the plant was moved from, and hit start and the robot just came right straight over, adjusted the map to erase the potted plant obstruction, and vacuumed a nice tidy little square, getting all the dirt up, and went back home. That is science and precision right there!I do wish that I got a model that came with the brush roll that avoids hair-wrapping, because I have had to pull the roller out and cut the hair off it 3 times already for the first 6 runs. Also the extra LIDAR module on top of the vacuum makes it unable to get underneath a few pieces of our furniture that the old one was able to.I like that the app tracks how many hours this thing has run and I suppose it will suggest replacement filters and stuff that I can stay on top of and avoid the vacuum stink and keep this one around for longer. The dog seems to have gotten her act together.

Hey folks. I bought this model of Eufy while on sale a little over six months ago, and have used it daily since. Thinking about buying one? Do it. No regrets here, and I wish I had purchased one when I first began thinking about it a year and a half ago.I live next to the Gulf Coast in Florida, and coastal living = constant sand. Fine, white quartz sand ends up in your home constantly regardless of how many rugs and floor mats you place at entranceways. Our home is completely tiled, and the powdery sand sticks to everything, so it’s a never ending battle keeping the floors clean. We used to sweep pretty much daily in the morning, and then use a hand vac around corners in the evening just to keep up with it. We also have one cat, a Great Pyrenees, and an English shepherd, so sweeping daily was necessary to keep fur from drifting into giant globs in corners and under furniture.After purchasing the Eufy, and charging it up, we no longer have to sweep every day. The eufy is simply fantastic at getting up all the pet fur and sand. Instead of sweeping every morning, I now stare off vacantly out the window while drinking my coffee, and the eufy sweeps for me.My five year old named our Eufy “Mumford” and we created a face cut out from a roll of white window cling vinyl (purchased the white vinyl window cling on amazon too- it’s meant for those Cricut machines) for the little guy. Mumford is now a treasured family member.For reference, my house is all tile and is about 1500 square feet. The eufy can clean our dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and playroom on a single charge, but since it doesn’t map out the rooms, I do place it in one room at a time, and block it off or shut the door. It does fine if I don’t block it off, but takes longer to get the job done. Since I keep the common areas clutter free, it is no trouble running the eufy every morning. I have my kiddos pick up anything on the floor, and then we hit the button and go about getting breakfast ready. If you are messier, or have a lot of clutter in your home- a Eufy probably isn’t the answer. It can’t do a good job if it isn’t able to roam around freely to vacuum.It fits under all of our furniture, and maneuvers well around my oak dining tables and chairs.If your home is very large and multi level, and you don’t want to pay attention - you may want something that maps your home. Eufy bumps around haphazardly, and when you leave it on long enough and run it consistently, it does a great job. I do not run it when we aren’t home, and I do not run it at night when we are sleeping. The last thing I want is for one of the dogs or the cat to get sick, and then have eufy run over the mess. Eeew. If you have pets, don’t make that mistake.If your home is larger than 1500 square feet, you’ll likely have to clean different sections at a time maybe on different days or nights of the week.Customer service is fantastic. After six months of daily use, our unit had a malfunction. The bumper on the right side would stick, and our unit would spin constantly clockwise. I contacted Eufy, and they did some troubleshooting with me, and when that didn’t fix the problem, I was sent a brand new unit. They emailed me a free return label to ship my old one back to them at no charge.All in all this is an excellent and helpful product, and the company that makes it is reliable and true to the warranty. I know several people that own one and love it, and have recommended it to friends and family members.Buy one!!!!!!
