I decided to finally try out one of these robo vacuums for my house, and I have to admit I was pretty skeptical at first.
Because the price of most Roombas are way too expensive for me, I never thought it was worth it, but then I came across this version from a company called Eufy -
So this is my review of the Eufy Robovac, and at less than half the cost of the offerings from iRobot, would this be a Roomba killer that I would be satisfied with?

I bought this robot based on this review. I've had it for less than a day. So far worth every penny. I've spent the day wondering why I didn't get one sooner. A few things I've learned already: Make sure cords and other random obstacles are picked up. Try not to add obstacles to the environment after the robot has started, as it seems to throw it off some. I have bamboo floor and they are rather slippery, so I've found i need to secure the home base a little as the robot will knock it around while trying to dock and undock. Again in one day I feel it's worth every penny and my only regret is I didn't get one sooner.. Thanks for the review, very informative!
nice review. i've always thought robot vacs were way too pricey and no way i would get one, but $200 is reasonable and it looks like it's pretty comparable to roomba.
xiaomi robot vacuum is even better ;)
Теж так думаю
you can get this working with alexa using the broadlink rm pro since the remote is IR
you can buy a chuwi ilife a5 which is similar to this if not even as good.
My sister-in-law bought one for my wife and me. It's a Roomba, pretty high-level model. I don't get it. It takes forever, if you REALLY want to clean everywhere, you're going to be moving a lot of chairs, ottomans, shoes, trash cans, etc., you have to empty the microscopic bin often (and that's an unpleasant task), it won't fit under EVERYTHING (most stuff, yeah, but maybe not the couch or a chair or something). I considered it a "gimmick" when I first discovered them and I wouldn't ever consider buying one. Now that I own one, I urge other people to NOT buy one. Yes, it's a "gimmick." Just grab a broom or a vacuum cleaner and do it the old-fashioned way. It's easier.
In the future, robot vacuums will become self aware, take over, and force humans to clean the robot vacuums’ floors.
omg you are so boring :(
Basically robot vacuums are the housecats of the future
after youre done feeding me you can clean my litterbox bitch (stares)
Hector so tru now cause roombas have the robot version of a looter box whoch is the new self empty base

Thanks for taking the time to make this. Just what I wanted to see after reading a couple reviews. Going to purchase my own now.
nice, nice. you got it up and running?>
Hell ya man. I'm shocked with how seamlessly well this thing works!
that is great to hear!
Well, It's been a year and a half, how is it withstanding wear? Thanks for the review, actually considering getting one after it
My self-charging rats are pretty good at taking care of crumbs and such.
I bought one today and just watched this video to set it up instead of reading the manual. Worked great! So thanks.
TOP review. Best review of these robotic cleaners I've seen so far. Honest and from a normal person. Not some marketing PR crap you can't trust.
Thank you!
after watching you video for 5 seconds i subscribed. simply because of the nice quick intro and the title.
ha thats amazing thanks a lot!
first good review for the eufy. nice
Thanks. Really helpful. I just bought the Eufy Robovac 11S and your video was great for getting started. Thanks for the cautions as well.
Dude, you sold me ! Great review, been looking at these & this one was top on my radar. Going to order one soon. Thanks !
nice nice, hope you like!
The latest model Eufy offers has Alexa and mobile app capabilities. Ive had mine for a week now, and love it.
what we really need to consider, is how damn nice ur house is

ha, thanks man very nice of you. we love it!
Tyler Dickson it was just unnecessary to say that about someone’s place that they’ve probably spent a lot of time into. but to each their own i guess 🤷♂️
I have had one for a couple months now since our regular vacuum hose broke and wasn't able to be replaced. Saves me so much physical pain as I have multiple physical disabilities. I run it almost every day as I have two under 5 years old. Lifesaver for me and helps my relationship as my husband was getting really cranky with me having to ask him to vacuum every other day.
Yes definitely. I bought one for my wife for Christmas and it feels now like it was a gift to myself. Awesome to have something vacuum while I'm doing other chores.
Press play takes off outside down the street.
lol
*Cleans entire world*
I've got one almost identical, they're brilliant.
I've had a Neato robot vac for a couple of years now and with 12 cats and a dog I wouldn't be without it. Does a great job. You can block the Neatos from going where you don't want them too with magnetic strips. Unfortunately one of our cats had an accident, for some reason the strip had moved and the Neato went over it. Thankfully, we stopped the Neato before nasty stuff got spread but we had to take the Neato apart and clean it thoroughly (easy with the Neatos) and all is good again. If you have pets, the robot vacs really are a godsend. I still use my Henry vacuum but not very often.
I went through the exact same process and finally bought a Eufy as well. My experience with it convinced me that robovacs are a viable substitute to manual vacuums and now I would be willing to spend even more on a better model.
RUclips recommendations in 2019 are beautiful.
I'm not sure about everyone else, but I think robotic vacuums are amazing. It blows my mind that through technology we can make something like this.
Humans started in caves and now can have autonomous friends. Like a little worker roaming around your house, working diligently.
😊
Wow!! I too now need one for my Birthday in March thanks for the video!! Great review!!
So I know this wasn't a Home tour but your home is so tasteful and elegant. Plus gone through so many reviews that lost count but yours shines out as so authentic and useful. Good job with the review.

A vacuum cleaner isn't a person.

...IF YOU CAN'T BUY A REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR THESE MODELS YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR MONEY!
...FIND A BATTERY SUPPLIER ...FIRST-FOR THAT MODEL ...THEN DECIDE! ... CHOOSE WISELY!
Very true, I bought a cleaning robot. But after maybe a year of half a year the battery was just useless. It would shutdown within 2 minutes
The real advice is in the comments.
Just re-build the battery if you cant find a replacement. Assuming the BMS didnt kill itself, which it normally doesnt, its just standard 18650's.
@@silvy7394 Re-build? What's a BMS? Battery Mgt System?? Is there a video I can watch?
@@richardcarr7702 Yep. Battery Management system. In basic packs like this you could just swap out the 18650's for new or better ones.
I dont have a video though. Its pretty basic knowledge. Maybe I should do one with my robotic vacuum.
I have had an Eufy for a year. It does a better job than I thought it would. It can navigate under most of the furniture without a problem. It will tangle into cords so we had to tie wrap those. There is one place in the kitchen it will get stuck. If I hit the backup button it will dislodge itself.
It does a very good job picking up dog hair off the carpet and hardwoods. I've been very satisfied with this product.
Thanks for the review! I have a Roomba and I love it! I will definitely always own a robot vacuum from now on. I forget which specific model ours is, as we received it as a holiday gift, but the Eufy looks pretty great for less than half the price! I don't recall the Roomba coming with extra brushes or a cleaning tool. We don't need a remote because ours interfaces with Alexa and is voice controlled, and ours is scheduled to run at 11am every day. After your review, though, the Eufy looks like it is the same or better than the Roomba. Maybe I'll try this brand if/when my Roomba breaks down!
We tend to run ours every day. We still run the regular vacuum once a month or so - to get edges or pet fur or hair that the Roomba has missed. Our pets shed quite a bit and we have mostly carpet, so it doesn't quite do everything. We run it every day, so we also empty it every day. It does keep our house a lot cleaner, though. First, the carpet almost always looks freshly vacuumed. Second, knowing the Roomba will roam around while we're gone makes us keep stuff up and off the floors. The only trouble is that it likes to get trapped under the couch. It also terrifies our dog!
Now, if only they had one of these for upholstered furniture - and a vertical one for the windows and shower wall! The "push a button and something gets cleaned" aspect of it is, as you said, absolutely amazing. Makes me feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie when I say, "Alexa, run the vacuum" and a little robot pops out to go to work!
Eufy is owned by Anker. It doesn’t get better than that!
Really like most of their products.I got their Bluetooth speaker, a wireless charging pad and a powerbank. They somehow manage to build common stuff for a cheaper price than everyone else, without having to compromise on quality.
Hier könnte Ihre Werbung stehen I have their wireless earbuds (Soundcore spirit pro). I love them!
Thank god Wayne left the team Andy, Neil, Kevin, Ernie and Randys company wouldnt be as successful.
My 2008 rommba just died. It makes sense it runs everyday so it’s bound to happen. It did a good job to for being 11 years old. It sucks but I’m going to get a new one. Can’t imagine how the new ones are.
man thats a good run!
techfreshness it was. But it was not everyday I was wrong in that statement. It would run Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Good review. I always wondered just how effective these would be.
Thanks for the complete review.
Some people have complained about the front sweepers wearing out very fast (other brand of vacuum, but same idea). They had to use the replacement brushes after a few weeks and then need to buy more. How are yours holding up?
I've had my robot slave (the same model) for 3 months now and it's scheduled to run every day. The sweepers look like they're almost new but I get that it's mostly to do with the fact that almost all my floors are tiles and only one small(ish) bedroom has a carpet
Imagine having it automatically clean at like 2 AM so your house (or level) is always clean and you never see it out of its base... so cool
probably not a good idea cause it might get stuck or do something stupid.
Noise
There so loud
Thank you so much for this review!!! I was on the fence about a Eufy wondering if it is comparable to iRobot. Everything I’ve researched says that Eufy is comparable or better. This video just sealed it for me. Can’t wait for my cats to ride it, lol.
Great choice of Vodka and great review. I’m getting one of these to replace my malfunctioning Neato
haha on the vodka. nice, hope it works out for you
great video. thanks for sharing. I spent close to $800 on an iRobot vacuum a few years back, and I'm kicking myself now because there are a handful of sub $300 robot vacuums on the market today that seem to do just as well! Ugh!
yowsa! yeah even some sub 200 ones now too, good to know if you ever need to replace tho
you paid extra money to have it years earlier then he did you also helped drive the market which led to him even being able to have a $200 one today.
Ian Cruickshanks BUT youre a few years ahead on free time from anyone else so really they should be kicking themselves for not getting one sooner 🤨🧐🤔
Don’t kick yourself if it’s still working, I’ve bought a few cheap ones 300~400 bucks and they’ve proof unreliable, I got a Roomba 980 and have been amazing even after sucking a lot of water from a broken plumbing line it still works fine
You do know you can easily raise the front level of your fridge . Which will make the fridge door close better too .
oh man, this is great thansk, my freezer drawer is always shutting, i might actually need to lower it, didn't know you could do that
I got the Eufy Robovac 11S,had it 2 days now and love it.it can go under the kingsized bed and other heavy furniture.it's also good at clearing cat hair.
I got the 15C Max on the strength of your review which I think is the best on the Net. Well done, I've just subscribed. The 15C Max is similar to yours and has the links with Alexa and and iPhone (as well as lesser phones, etc), extra boost and longer battery life for 25% more. One thing I've found is the Eufy seems to keep track of where its been and where home is located. Even if in another room, sending back home via Alexa or remote control and the Eufy navigates there quite easily.
3:43 when its done finishing lol
Excellent review! And you’ve created a beautiful space for yourself there! Great taste!
awesome, thanks linda, thats 100% my wife doings ha
I might consider getting one since my wife is always on me about sweeping and vacuuming the floor/carpet everyday. I love how it has a timer which will make life easier since my wife and I don't have to be there to turn it on.
My Roomba kept bumping into my LG dishwasher and 8 weeks later I found a handvac that plays the Korean national anthem in my kitchen.
Really?

I love my Eufy. I wouldn't be without it now, my floors have never been cleaner and it frees up so much time.
I like your idea of putting its home under a cabinet. Our Eufy (2019 xmas gift) sleeps in plain sight where I'd rather have a plant or something. Enjoyed your video!
Yes...your cat can ride on them people!
The important answers are always in the comments.
Couldn't get my cats to ride the Roomba so I guess it depends on your cats.

The dual “rollers” on roombas are what make them good on carpet. It’s also patented by iRobot.

I got the Eufy 11s for Xmas and it is awesome! Every day it runs automatically and every day it picks up a baseball sized blob of hair and dirt. When I think about how I used to sweep my floors every 2 weeks it makes me ill.
Just got the Eufy robo vac 30c. LOVE it!
Ur getting a self vacuum robot and a rc car,that's a pretty good deal!
my family has the exact same one, we call it “Alice”
Just got one. Wondering why I waited so long to get one. Paid $179 for a Roomba. Works great. Love it.
12:30 omg me all day with this vacuum, usually happens once every time I run it. But its really good overall, I highly recommend this model.
theyre worth it, they are a lonely man's pet
And I'm now him 💯.
You had me at lonely man.
lol. Thanks for the poop warning. Great video.
I have recently bought a efuy and I absolutely love it!
Ive owned robot vacuums since the Roomba Discovery series. I had 4 Roombas fail on me (under warranty)...so like a car brand, I avoid Roomba. They cleaned, but didn’t impress me. Skip ahead 10 years and the robot vacuum market had improved. I bought the Dyson 360 Eye, despite many bad reviews. I was impressed with the power, cleaning pattern, and build quality. Dyson no longer offered parts for the 360 Eye and offered reimbursement, so I accepted. I’ve tried the Neato Botvac, and Shark Ion since then. I miss my 360 Eye and can’t wait for their next version to hit the USA.
ah its been a while since ive heard the term "robot slave"... Ahhh good shit...

Great review!!👍🏽👍🏽 I’ve been shopping a while now for a robotic vacuum but the price was holding me back, I’m definitely looking at purchasing this eufy.
By the way your deck stain looks really nice, what color/brand stain did you use on it?
got my first roomba back in 2003.. only thing i have had to do is get a new battery for it twice.. still going
very nice!
hmm
If you call it a slave then yes.
My son got me the Eufy and I absolutely Love it....I rarely use my rainbow vac any more!!...
I have a Eufy named Gary. He does a fine job of cleaning. I have long hair that wraps around the sweepers in front and around the rolling sweeper in the middle. I pop them off after each use and remove the hair so that Gary can do a good job each time. I run mine every day since I am allergic to dust mites. I empty the cartridge that collects the dust after every use just to keep it from getting overfull. It's so quick and easy to do. I love my Eufy and have had it for over a year. He gets stuck now and then and needs help, but it's a game changer if you have dust mite allergies!

Bought the newer 11+ on Woot about 4 months ago for like 100 as a refurb and I love it. We set it to run every day at 1pm while we're working and it randomly cleans surprisingly well on the low pile carpet and vinyl floors our 1400sf 4br house has. The main areas stay clean and I later picked up a nice Shark ionx2 duo clean cordless with 2 batteries I use to cover the places the parrot keeps dropping his crumbs all over and occasional missed spots. All the main parts are available and reasonably cheap so you can replace and repair as needed. I think new ones come with a year warranty and they are very responsive. I had to replace the roller brush cover after a few months as it kept running over cords and things tearing up the rubber strip. I think I paid 8 to 10 bucks and it showed up quickly and is a slightly stronger design. I'd say whatever you buy make sure it has the roller power brush as they works so much better than the ones with just the dual edge brushes, especially on low carpet. If you want to spend big money get one with the laser room mapping sensors as it actually sees the room and obstacles and builds a map as it goes till it knows the layout and avoids things it has found. I have a couple of nice old school metal Royal vacuums and I hardly need to run them now. It does get stuck or trapped occasionally and it beeps and eventually shuts off till you rescue it and start it again. It usually eventually finds the charging dock as well but not always. We have learned to pick up cables and obstructions so it doesn't grab things or get stuck as often. We close doors where it doesn't need to go or setup blockers on the bad places for it.
Roborock 2 is my companion and is doing great. It got it's own application meaning it logs every location its been on a map it scan in real time. It doesnt go random paths everywhere like this one, but cleans a certain part of the house at a time. If you have a carpet that it manages to get on top of only from certain places and fails to get up anywhere else it will go back to the places he got up earlier for more attempts and usually succeed as it knows from memory where it's been and managed to get up before.
You can watch it live from anywhere with an internet connection and see where it has been as it shows cleaned and uncleaned areas. Can be controlled and started/stopped from the same application and will give feedback on your phone when its stuck or just finished cleaning.
Also have a mopping function and is able to do the mopping if you add the mopp and water.
Easy set up a schedule if needed in the application and even set a time when no vacuum is allowed.
Easy read cleaning history.
The roborock is connected to the wifi so its easy to update its firmware trough it's application.
Can be remotely controlled from anywhere with wifi or set to clean a certain area by marking the area or set zones to clean.
Easy to add no go zones or barriers for the vacuum in the application. It will avoids or stop if these places as reached.
I did consider the I robot, but function, how it cleans and value for money I'd say roborock 2.0 is more for your money with functions few others at it's price range can offer.
If you wanna name it you can do that as well in the application. 😉
don’t let them become deviant.

So far so good with this vacuum. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.
The mapping vacs are definitely more expensive. After watching your video I purchased a Eufy from Amazon. I’m enjoying the machine too. Thank you for replying. Happy Holidays.
I own ghis model and an e6.
This was my first vac too, cause it was a reasonable price.
The Roomba’s agitator’s are actually better for carpet, but for bare floor, that brush style is fine.
Comparing this fairly well made review with a single vac, vs Vacuum wars very enthusiastic’s series was interesting to watch.
It's Japanese... see the texts its hiragana/katakana and kanji ;P
ha i should know that i lived there for 10 years !
Eufy is part of Anker which is a Chinese company. Anker makes chargers, power banks, cables, etc
fun fact: the word robot comes from the czech word for "slave". so the title of this video is redundant :D

5:46 It looks so funny trying to climb on the carpet with its little flipper things on the bottom side, it reminds me of a dog trying to jump on the owners bed while the owner is watching tv on their bed.
You can attach a bluetooth speaker onto one and it will drive around the house playing music. You can call it DJ Roomba
rest in peace DJ Roomba after Jerry stepped on it
RIP little DJ of awesomeness. Sorry for your loss...
My neighbor has a dog and a roomba , the dog took a dump on the floor and the roomba mindlessly tracked it all over the house in little sh?! Wheel tracks , I just got done helping him cut the carpet out of his whole house . It was hilarious he was banging on my door at 130 am yelling " oh god it's awful , help me , bring razor blades every one you've got " I thought the Hindenburg crashed on his living room floor ! . Actually it did it was a 6 inch version made out of used up Alpo. Ohhh the Humanity.
I guess he never heard of carpet cleaner.
This is not the first time I've heard of these robots spreading dog shit everywhere.
Wowwww spreading dog shit you’re a savior I didn’t think about this 😂😂😂
@@calliph ha, yeah so nasty, i did mention this in the video actually as it happened to my friend as well. best buy covered them because they had the warranty ha. gave them a brand new samsung version one
This review has really helped me out! It's very well explained, not only to get an idea of how this model works but also how a robot vacuum cleaner works. I've never had one and am looking to buy one as I'm tired of sweeping the floors and they are dirty the next day! I'm not sure whether to buy this model or a roomba, maybe one of the cheaper roomba models that doesn't cost 600€. I'm a bit worried about the guarantee and what to do in case the Eufy Rovovac 11 needs a reparation. How long have you had yours? Have you had any problems? Does it perforn as well as the first day? Thanks!
nice review! really solid arguments
