Eufy - RoboVac 11c Pet Edition

I've had a Eufy 11c for 5 years. It goes by the name Vlad. No mapping of course, it just randomly bounces off things. 5 years later it still cleans well. I don’t use it for the whole house but it does my master suite a few times a week. It's still brilliant.

I ended up going over to eufy and paying $69 for a refurbished 11s Max. I have a first gen 11, and while it is now struggling with the mysterious front bumper is stuck error, that seems like a relatively easy fix. Other than that most of the time it's still working just fine. It's sucked up a dead mouse last week. Or at least I hope the mouse was dead. So it's got enough suction for me. So instead of trying to navigate the confusing Prime deals, I just bought something for a price that if it dies in a year I don't care

I have a eufy model meant for pets, but I still have to take out the rolling brush once a week to cut dog hair off it. My dog is a Samoyed, so a bit of an extreme case, but it's worth keeping in mind. I empty the dust compartment twice a week since it only has the onboard one.

I had a Eufy 11, it bumped its way through my flat for the last 10 years - I loved it, reminded me of a drunk teenager going about the house. Battery would go every couple of years and I would replace it. Ran daily and it kept my apartment clean. I just had to watch out for wires etc. don’t wear shoes indoors so my floors don’t get too dirty. I’d empty it every 2 weeks and manually hoover and mop every 3/4 weeks. Then I moved from an 85 sqm place to 140ish sq m and the Eufy was unfortunately lost in such a large space. So I bought a Dreame X50 this week, it clearly cleans better and avoids things like wires but I’m not sure it is worth the extra money. It cannot hoover and mop my apartment in one go, I would not even dare to use one of the intensive cleaning modes, would probably take days.. Despite having so many sensors, it insists on driving up my reading chair and getting stuck on it, it also insists on going under dining table to get to dock by smashing my chairs about. So the whole AI thing is bs - it does not learn. Of course I can turn off certain things to prevent this but this makes cleaning less effective. Given the claims by reviewers online, I expected much better performance. A robo is one of the best things I’ve ever bought, but I would ignore reviews. A mid level or older model will do almost as good a job. You are paying twice as much for a very small % benefit.

I got a robot vac with no wifi, it comes with a remote. It doesnt get anymore private than that. Eufy 11, it was cheap too less than $200 bones. 

Yes. 100%. I have one on each floor and a eufy robo-vacuum that is on a timer.

We have Euphy. I would do another brand, I’ve had to exchange it 3 times in one year and once the warranty ended I barely use it because it’s noisy.

I made fun of robot vacs for years, assuming that people who owned them were just lazy. But I got one (Black Friday deal) the year we got new carpet and I freaking LOVE my vac. His name is Reese (from *Malcolm in the Middle*, because our vac is aggressive and stupid), and I have him go 5 days a week. I still run the big vac around the whole house to get the deeper stuff; Reese really only picks up the surface level stuff. I paid around $130 for my Anker Eufy and I feel like it was worth every penny.
