eufy Robot Vacuum 11S MAX, Super Thin, Powerful Suction, Quiet, Self-Charging Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, Cleans Hard Floors to Medium-Pile Carpets, Black

Background: I have a shedding dog, so I bought this in hopes that by running it every-day, it would pick up on some of the dog hair on the floor.What I like:-VERY easy to use.-easy to follow instructions-has a sticker on the bottom so if it ever stops and beeps, you can flip it over and it says exactly what the beeps mean (one beep means one thing, two beeps means another--which is SUPER helpful!).-color on top clearly shows what mode it is in (blue-ready to go, orange-needs to charge, red-problem to fix-such as emptying the tray).-very quiet. I can work on stuff with it in the room and it does not bother me at all (my dog also does not mind it).-works great on white carpet and easily transitions from my living room to dining room (which has a slight bump).-when its low on battery, it does not die where it is at, it just turns off the vacuum then finds the home doc and charges itself.-just works really well. I run it everyday and I am impressed by how much stuff it gets (especially when it goes under things such as the couch).-if it gets caught on a cord, it usually takes 5-10 seconds but then it stops the suctioning and moves away (releasing the cord or other item). However if you have a small cord you should put it up (and you should regardless, I just noticed it doing this a few times and thought it was neat, but I do try to pick up all cords).What could be improved:-nothing really in particular to this.-It does not work well on anything black, but this is true for all robot vacuums. It sometimes gets stuck when it goes on the black carpet we have with the black chairs (I suspect because it can not detect them), but this has not happened often. My dog has a black mat for her food and water and it always bumps into it and spills the water, but again, this would occur with any robot vacuum.-Also, make sure the doc is against a wall because otherwise it will move and never charge (self explanatory, but I did not do the first time and it kept trying to doc and was just pushing the doc around the floor).-Finally, you do have to dump out the vacuum particles almost every time you run it (if you do a full circle/battery cycle). It is really easy to dump and beeps when it needs to be emptied. Again, nothing really negative, just something to note.Overall, I really like this! It does a nice job cleaning up the dog hair and other things that get on my floor and saves me a lot of time not vacuuming daily. If you have a dog, I would watch them with this first before you use it. My dog was initially scared of it but sniffed it's "butt" and now they are cool and she does not mind it at all. Pleased with this product and would recommend! :)**UPDATE**On another note, Eufy has amazing customer service! I received an email from them addressing each of my "what could be improved" components with more information on the product. Very impressed.

I have had this robo vac for about a week now and still testing it out. It has a remote control and is very easy to use. I have 2 dogs and had to sweep my floors almost every day. I had to empty eufy the first 2 days of running it. I run it every day and each day it is less full and doesn't have to be emptied as often. I will continue to run it every day. The amount of dust alone (not including pet hair) that is picks up daily is surprising. Every 2 or 3 days I will take my swiffer and go around, between and under furniture where the vac can't get which takes me about 15 or 20 minutes to do. So far I have been very happy with the job the vac is doing. The is a big time saver for me. It is so nice to have clean floors.

This basic robot vacuum is awesome. I have a shedding Labrador that makes frequent vacuuming a chore. This vacuum may not get every spot but it picks up substantial amount of dog hair, navigates on hard wood and wool rugs well. It does get stuck in certain places so I cannot "let it go and forget about it". It comes with a remote (no wifi or smart phone connection) and you have to manually empty the debris but I wanted something basic so these are not issues for me. This robot's simplicity, lower price, and effectiveness for my cleaning purposes make it a winner.

So, I got my Eufy yesterday and have now used it for two one hour+ cleaning sessions. There are a few things you need to do for best performance:As noted in the instructions, tie up any small wires- they will get tied up in the wheels of the RoboVac.Watch it as it goes about its work, you will find a few dead ends where it gets caught. Block those off temporarily with a book or similar.We have about 1,000 sq ft accessible by the Eufy and after two hours I think it was about 50-75% clean. It would take another 2-3 hours to get it to 90+%. I will probably run it once each day and that will probably keep us pretty clean.It easily got over a transition from LVF to low pile carpet and didn’t clean as deep as a vacuum, but it did pretty good.When it gets low on juice, it shuts down the vacuum and heads to its charging cradle. It was amazing to watch that happen. When it docks it then goes into recharge mode for the next time.So, the foregoing is the good. Here is the bad and ugly:I have a dog that sheds. After one or two sessions, it is a PITA to clean out all of that hair. The roller is completely stuffed with hair. You have to cut it out piece by piece with a short, sharp paring knife. Especially difficult was the small wheel in the front. The wheel pops out, but then you have to dig, piece by little piece of hair stuck in the bearings. Eufy needs to design a wheel that disassembles for cleaning, edit it does pop apart but takes lots of force to do it, but then cleaning is a cinch.The large dirt/hair tray did pull out and opened for easy dumping.So, it works, it picks up dirt and pet hair, but it is a PITA to clean. I think I can do a complete sweep up of my living area in the time it takes to remove all that hair. If you have a pet that sheds, be aware.Finally ( I hope), let me talk about barriers. I have 2BRs a large LR, kitchen and dining room. The first thing I did was to block off entry to the dining room. That little bugger loves chair and table legs, so it would spend half its charge time going round those twenty legs. Each of the other rooms has a barrier for one reason or another. Even then it gets stuck every now and then, shuts down and sends a beep to two to warn you to rescue it.
