eufy by Anker, BoostIQ RoboVac 15C, Wi-Fi, Upgraded, Super-Thin, 1300Pa Strong Suction, Quiet, Self-Charging Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, Cleans Hard Floors to Medium-Pile Carpets (White)

The media could not be loaded.  I was ready to have a robot clean my house once again. Many years ago I had a 1 or 2 gen of roomba. With so many robot vacuums available I was ready to try this newer technology. I did overall enjoy the roomba and used it till one of the treads on the wheels was chewed by my cat. Those original roombas were glorified sweepers without suction and had zero intelligence mapping/cleaning a room. No wifi/apps/scheduling back then and certainly couldn't return to base.First impressions:Set-up was very easy. Connecting to wifi in the app with enabling the skill on Alexa were a breeze.Cleaning pattern is random but my floors looked clean after completing full cycles.Picked up a satisfying amount of hair and dust.I don't like having to create my own barriers to prevent it from entering areas. 15c model does not come with boundary strips.Day 1:Right out of the box we had a quick set up and attempted our first cleaning. Set up was very easy with the app and quickstart guide. I put RoboVac to work and it did an okay but not exceptional cleaning. I limited it to our tv/family room and kitchen that gets the most dirty for our test runs. In this area it is entirely hardwood floors with 1 low pile rug and two cushion kitchen mats. Next I charged RoboVac up put it to work again and this cleaning was much better but found a it constantly in one corner of my kitchen. I played around a bit telling RoboVac to start, pause etc after enabling the RoboVac skill on Alexa which was very fun but more of a novelty for me. After the partial and full cleanings my floors looked really nice. The dirt cup was easy to empty and was about full from my floors that really needed a vac. I set up my schedule to clean nightly while we slept.Day 2:First night of scheduling RoboVac. I woke up to RoboVac being trapped under a corner of my couch where it discovered a cord and flat laundry basket I didn't know was under there. I charged Robo up and then set it to work in my Living room/formal dining area only since it didn't finish the job. With our fake Christmas tree and some fake snow decor the floors were dirtier than normal for these seldom used rooms. Those fake pine needles are super hard to get every last one! The pattern of cleaning is random but after some time the floors were looking good and I didn't notice any remaining particles on the floor. It navigated well around my chairs, coffee tables and under my couches although totally random which way it went.Day 3: RoboVac had a great night cleaning! Made it back to base unassisted and I woke up to fresh floors. I have been putting up my stools and chairs so it can clean under them overnight especially since that is where we have the most crumbs. I also keep our two dogs blocked off in an area with a gate overnight. This way Robo can clean and there is no doggy mess risk as well as keeping them happy and safe. I have a Pomeranian and shih tzu that are curious but mostly scared. It made it's way under another couch last night and found a treasure trove of dirt. Some dirt around our door was picked up successfully.Week 2: Overall I am super happy with this purchase. Being able to schedule a nightly vac and wakeup to clean floors has been completely worth it for the price. Almost every day RoboVac has made it back to base. I do make some adjustments like picking up my stools/chairs and setting them on the counter/table before bed. I really want those fallen crumbs where eating is happening to be picked up. I do make sure the area is clear from potential hazzards as well. I put my power strip in a basket to keep the cords tidy and it also looks better anyhow. I limit RoboVac to only in my kitchen with adjoining dining room and family/tv room. This is the only area that gets dirty daily and also where my doggos hang out. Since my model (15c) does not support boundary strips I have been using hand weights in one open door way to block. In my other open doorway I have a pet gate which also keeps the doggos safe for the nightly clean. I've been emptying the dust cup every few days or so which has been quite satisfying. My rug in my TV/Family room is just enough to prevent it from going under my couches in most places. The couple of times it did not make it to base was because it got under the couch but then trying to exit it gets stuck partway when it hits the rug on the way out (included picture). It has been the same place twice so I put a hand weight around there to stop it going under and getting stuck which so far has been successful. I'm going to continue thinking of ways to "robo proof" my area so it continues to be a set and forget. So far hand weights have been super helpful which I just happened to have on hand. For a strip of area a rolled yoga mat also works (so long as it's pushed up against something so it doesn't unroll).I would have bought the model with boundary strips rather than dot bundle doing it over again since it would have been helpful. Even though the cleaning is random on this model I have been very pleased with the cleaning. My rug looks fresh daily and it seems to keep my kitchen floor & dining area free from crumbs.After 1 year update:We have had this guy 1 year! I would not go back to life without it. There are times it finds a cord or sock and gets stuck but as we "roboproofed" our room nearly all the time it would make it back to base. I liked coming down to the fresh floors every morning.Just recently it started giving an error code that the brush isn't spinning. I cleaned it thoroughly and still it is beeping and giving the error code. The brush is spinning and it is still cleaning nightly so not sure what else to do. I suppose I will let it run until it gives out. Maybe that is what separates the cheaper ones from more expensive...not sure.

I swear I'm not getting anything out of sharing this right now, I just want you all to know how much I love my new Eufy vacuum cleaner. We bought a robovac after a couple weeks of living with full laminate / tile flooring in a house with three dogs and two cats. We honestly had no idea how much fur was existing in our carpet. I'm already so exhausted from life and I was having to vacuum or sweep literally every day. So, we bought one of the daily deals on Amazon (Koios). I didn't do any research and it was brand new on the market so didn't really have any reviews. For the last 6 months I have wondered how I lived without It. It was set up on an automatic timer so that it goes off at 6pm every night, vacuums my whole house, and then plugs itself back into the wall. All I had to remember to do was empty the dustbin. But it did used to get stuck under things and sometimes I would notice it wasn't plugged in and I'd have to go searching around the house until I found it. And occasionally I would notice that it was a little gritty under foot because it has sucked up a dryer sheet or something along those lines that kept the rollers from spinning the dirt up into the dustbin properly. Fast forward to last week when it stopped working completely and I contacted the company. They told me that they were so sorry that they had no options for me for repair, and that they would send me a full refund. So this time I actually researched. The number one on consumer reports list is actually a Eufy. Roomba and some other of the heavy hitters actually came in further down the list. And I freaking love this thing. I can communicate with it through Alexa. If it runs over a dryer sheet or gets somebody's phone cord stuck in the roller it immediately stops and notifies me on my cell phone. It has a search function if it gets lost in the house. And it's so thin that it can go under everything. At 6pm on the dot, it goes under my kitchen chairs, under my couches, under my dressers. If you have been thinking about getting one of these things, do yourself a favor! It is so worth the investment in your time. #YesImSpoiled #DefinitelyNotLazy

I received this in early December and almost 2 months in of several times per week use, I'd say I'm still really impressed.Cons/issues1. The manual says it has a function that can detect and avoid stairs; that did not work properly for me, and it took a hard tumble down a carpeted flight.2. Hair/pet hair gets ensnared around the brush easily, and needs to be checked/cut out about every 2-3 uses3. Depending on how dynamic your house is (eg kids, pets) the programmable feature to run when you're not home may not work if you're not home to help it get unstuck from something.4. Battery life isn't the greatest, but sufficient to do 2-3 medium sized rooms at a charge.Pros1. Despite taking the aforementioned tumble down the stairs, it still works perfectly. Durable!2. It actually picks up way more than I was expecting, even on medium pile carpet. I have 2 kids, a dog, and a cat, and it handles pet hair and kid crumbs with aplomb. It won't replace a regular vacuum for deep cleaning, but it really helps for daily maintenance!3. Spare parts like extra rollers and brush fins and filters are readily available and not terribly expensive. It comes with extra brush fins and filters, but I went ahead and ordered extra just in case.4. Not very loud and unobtrusive. Great for running whilst the dishwasher runs for an end of day maintenance vacuum. (or an oh crap I forgot someone was coming over moment). Huge time saver!

Such a great little vacuum for the price. Easy to use and program through phone app. Have a schedule set up for regular automated cleaning and it's amazing how much it picks up. Will get another for second level of house.

Hasta ahorita va fantástica. Me ahorra muuucho tiempo en el qué hacer de mi departamento. Ahora siempre está libre de polvo. No uso la función de programarla pues hay que asegurarse que no haya cables o cosas en el piso que se puedan atorar. Funciona bien, punto en contra es que no tiene sensor láser entonces tarda más en limpiar pues pasa varias veces por el mismo lugar pero estaba consciente de eso cuando la compré. Por ese precio, súper bien. Aspira bien en modo normal, si hay mucho polvo el modo boost consigue limpiarlo bien. Sugerencia: usar por áreas. Yo la encierro en cada cuarto unos 15 minutos para que limpie bien la zona sin dispersarse.Cuando salgo de viaje me aseguro de dejar recogido para poder activarla de forma remota por WiFi antes de regresar y encontrar todo limpio. La recomiendo (si no te alcanza para una con sensor láser).Update: La batería murió después de 2 años. Tristemente no se puede comprar la original porque no hacen envíos fuera de Estados Unidos así que hay que comprar una genérica. La acabo de pedir por lo que aun no sé qué tal funcione.Recomendación: Ya sea si compras esta u otra aspiradora considera que puedas encontrar un buen repuesto pues eventualmente la batería original se agotará.

I am both horrified and amazed with just what the Eufy sucks up each day. It runs for about an hour before docking itself to charge. It has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this to anyone considering a robot vacuum.

Love this little eufy, does a great job on my new floors (non carpet). My only comment and not really a complaint but something to be aware of is that if it gets into direct sunlight (near a window or door) it gets totally confused and goes in circles. I am guessing that the direct sun impairs its sensors. Bought one for my daughter as well and she too loves hers.

Lo he usado por casi un mes y concluyo esto:Tengo dos perros y limpia bastante bien todo su pelo.Hace poco ruido, se escucha trabajar, pero no molesta.Mi casa es pequeña y la batería me permite limpiar 3 días sin tener que cargarla.La primera carga completa tardó como 6 horas, pero las siguientes como 3 horas. Yo la apago con el switch de abajo cada que termina y he notado que así dura más la batería.Tengo dos tipos de piso, uno cerámico y otro vinílico, en el cerámico limpia perfecto a la primera pasada, pero en el vinílico le cuesta más recoger todo el pelo de perro, ahí prefiero barrer y de vez en cuando usar la aspiradora.El cepillito incluido permite limpiar la aspiradora de forma sencilla y rápida.Los materiales parecen de calidad.El control remoto es muy útil para guiarla cuando limpia, incluso más que la app, esa solo la utilizo para revisar la batería.En general estoy satisfecha con la aspiradora porque limpia mejor que yo el pelo de perro y el polvo, se nota mucho la diferencia. La limpieza del piso ahora es más rápida y menos cansada. Solo espero que dure muchos años.
