Are robot vacuums strong enough to replace upright vacs for carpet? Or does this do more surface maintenance and I’ll still need to hit carpets and rugs for deeper cleaning fairly regularly?
Eufy is by Anker, and I’ve had really good experiences with Anker charging products.
@rinrinrin I can’t speak to this robovac, but the one I have does a pretty great job and I’m way too lazy to use my upright vac anymore. For the big messes we just pull out the shop vac now (like picking up Christmas tree remnants). That being said, mine is the roomba i7+ and this one is being sole retail <$200, so it’s likely that this will mostly provide maintenance. Regardless, I love the fact that I don’t have to vacuum all the time anymore considering I have 5 cats.
@KatiLou I expect the price also reflects that’s it’s older technology. Most of the reviews online are 2+ years old. My hope is that it means it’s still decent quality, just not as fancy as newer models. There was a time when it was the more expensive newer model I think?
I like that this seems to be new rather than refurb as well.
@rinrinrin We recently got a robot vacuum (two, actually). We have two cats and two dogs. Tuesday, the rugs got a thorough vacuuming with the manual cleaner. (The looked clean to me.) Wednesday, the robot did its thing for ~75 minutes, and the collector was full of pet hair. This is not max shedding season, so I was surprised to see it collect so much.
@rinrinrin You probably won’t need to deep clean much with a robot vacuum running daily. You may want to keep a regular vacuum around for occasional use, like when you move furniture around exposing places the robot couldn’t get, or bigger messes. Keep in mind these have a small dirt collection volume, compared to a manual vacuum, so you may have to empty it more than you think.
I like robot vacuums. I already have 2. What I need now are robots to load and unload the dishwasher, wash dry and fold the clothes, mop the floor and take out the trash! Now MEH you have your mission. Get to it!

Did I do it right?
For 79 bucks I would’ve bought this all day long
@bugger Agreed. Price seems too high relative to what you can get it for elsewhere.
@bugger I’d like to purchase this, but I can’t get past “Captcha”. It says there is a Robot on my page …
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@mediocrebot Robots suck. Especially the vacuum type.
Robots need some love. That’s why they are not allowed in my home.
See meh

Eufy belongs in an IRK
The reason some of us haven’t converted to the robo vacuum is simple
Some members of my family will eat it
@uninflammable You’ve done this “your mother’s so fat” joke all wrong.
Glennywise!

…3X stronger suction than a microwave isn’t saying much, because microwaves have zero suction.
@steelopus that’s where you’re wrong, my microwave sucks hard
We love our Eufy, and it a older model. Tile floors.
