Thanks for such a great review and being so honest on the pros and cons. I will be getting one
As a techy person I was honestly looking for a review of this from a tech reviewer's perspective but honestly I'm super glad I clicked on this one. Fantastically informative review from a general usage perspective which is exactly what you need for a device like this. Thank you so much for your review. I picked one up today too.
I’m so glad I got the techy seal of approval for this review! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a kind comment. Enjoy your Eufy!
Came to say exactly the same thing. Absolutely super informative, I'm a tech nerd but having a genuine female perspective is very refreshing. Amazing content 🎉
Love your real life review! I ordered this before viewing your review. This was very helpful. I have played with it the last couple days and I love it!
So glad it was helpful! Enjoy your Eufy!!
I like the honesty of this review. Pros and cons and I really like to hear this type of review. Thank you and keep them honest
Thanks Jackie. So glad you found this helpful!
What a great review! Very informative, practical and useful! Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for this. Just opened mine. No paperwork. Your video helped. It just finished my whole house. So happy!!!
It's like a new but useful pet!
This a great review, thanks for sharing!
What a charming lady...
I have the same model, just got it, and for whatever reason, mine came with a remote with a display...it's mostly to help set up scheduling to vacuum.
Bought one of these thanks to your video, appreciate it
Great review ❤️I’m definitely getting one ☑️
Thanks Amanda. They are just so handy.
I've just bought it today!:) I hope I'm going to love it, love to all xx
I think you will. Bought one for my mum’s birthday and she’s thrilled with it. Enjoy!
@@thehonestchannel Quick update: Absolutely in love with it! I wish it had mapping technology, but unsure, if the ones with mapping do any better job (?) It randomly bounces, but it doesn't seem to be missing any spots... I haven't been vacuuming in 2 weeks and my house looks spotless clean. To be honest vacuums better than my Dyson.
@@paulinas.4082 So glad it’s working out for you. I love mine too but, disaster, it has malfunctioned and I need to send it back for repair or exchange. Very unhappy that’s happened just a couple of months after buying it. Hope it’s a freak occurrence. Let me know if you have any issues. I’ll do a follow-up video later in the year. Thanks for the update!
Thank you Clare. I bought it just now. As a chronic sick student this is so helpful for me I hope it helps me a lot. Thank you for your review.
Sorry to hear you’re unwell. This will definitely be a helping hand for you : )
Thank you for this review 💕 new subscriber
Thank you Kay! Delighted to have you as a new subscriber ❤️
I ordered this today after watching your "real life" vid as opposed to all the sponsored stuff on UA-cam. To set up alexa link it up the other way around. I.e. link it in the alexa app not the eufy app. Took abt 2 mins and works like a dream. Thanks for the accurate real world vid. Makes a nice change on UA-cam. 👍
Good to know, thanks! And so glad you found the video helpful
Bought mine because of you as ive pelvic problems
I wish id known earlier thanks i love it
Great to hear!
My arthritis can make vacuuming painful and i have to vacuum daily so I'd really like to get one of these...thanks for the great review 😀
It’s a real game changer. Deals often come up on Amazon so keep an eye out. I bought my mum the 30C model and it’s just as good. She loves it.
Very good, real world review.
Glad you found it helpful.
Buying this now after watching -ty
Glad you found it helpful! Enjoy your Eufy!!
Thanks for videos. Bought one yesterday from Currys. Its now on charge for the 1st time, soon will be ready for use..
Hope you enjoy it!
@@thehonestchannel Have used it now and I love it..
@@carot2003 Pleased to hear that!
I got an 11s on Amazon renewed for less than £100 and I love it. Is a total game changer with 2 cats.
Great price. There are lots of deals on them to be found : )
Great review loved your side jokes too
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it : )
Thank you for the review. There are robovacs that do track backwards and forwards and they are more reliable at covering every inch. Also ones that vac and mop and know not to mop carpets! I love mine
It’s amazing how technology is developing to help us. This is a great model for the price but it would be tempting to look at some of the higher-spec models out there. Which robovac do you have?
@@thehonestchannel a Roborock S5 Max. It cost a lots more than the one you have so you do have to weigh up pros and cons 🤔 I’ve had it 3 years now and Colin is still going strong (I’ve called it Colin 😂😂) x
@@barbsdee3831 😂 Love that he has a name! They do take on little personalities. Good to know you rate that model
aren't they fabulous iv'e got two cheap Vileda's plug in charge switch on and let it go no faffing lol, i'm amazed at how much they pick up, I hoover the filters with my corded vac, another must have is the Hoover stick cleaner H Free 500 so easy and powerful it propels itself forward with the brush foot I just take it for a walk :)
Great idea to hoover the filters! Must take a look at the stick cleaner - sounds great.
Thanks for your review. Will use your affiliate link.
Thanks!
Question for you Clare. How is it with picking up long human hair? Most robot vacs I've seen have issues with hair winding around the cleaning brush making clean up a hassle. Thank you and great video.
Thank you! It's actually pretty good at picking long hair up, but some does wind round the brush - as it does on my Miele vacuum as well. From time to time I have to pull the hair out of the brush but it's not a major deal. It's not as good as my Miele on picking up dog hair from our carpets. It gets most of the hair but I use the Miele around once a month to give the carpet a deeper vacuum.
@@thehonestchannel would I be able to run it without the brush to avoid this issue? Just ordered, but hair is my issue also.
@@charm6724 I suspect the brush is quite important for helping sweep up and lift hairs and dirt from your floors so I would leave it on and just check it from time to time. It’s not been a big deal for me.
@@charm6724 is it good picking up long human hairs? lol
I'm a bit slow on commenting on this because you posted a year ago haha.
But I was hoping you could let me know how this is with cleaning corners? I'd like to buy my Mum one because she's disabled :)

Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Without mapping is it able to find its way into each room or can rooms get missed? 🤔
It generally finds its way around the whole floor provided it doesn’t run out of charge
Hello can I ask u something.when the vacuum cleaner is charging and lights up orange After about an hour it starts making a sound and stays on orange and then starts making a sound every minute
That’s one I can’t say I’ve seen. Eufy do have a good customer service team though so it would be worth filming a short clip of what’s happening on your phone and sending it to them at support@eufylife.com
Hi lovely, can we have an update on the Smile Direct Club aligners? If you have one!
Hi. Yes, I actually filmed an update today so we’ll edit and upload later this week. : )
@@thehonestchannel amazing! Looking forward to it!
Good video
Glad you found it helpful!
Hello is it work for cat with a short hair ? Especially on the bed full of my cat hair
I don’t think this would work well on a bed. It would pick up cat hair from hard floors really well and is pretty good on shorter fibre carpets but not longer ones. I have a Miele cat and dog vacuum which is excellent for picking up pet hair and I use it once or twice a month to get the hairs the Eufy hasn’t picked up.
If your Eufy randomly starts, hold the schedule button until the robot beeps twice.
How did you record a video, does this robovac come with built in camera?
Hi. It doesn’t come with a camera - we just stuck a little one on top to record it moving around: )
@@thehonestchannel Thank you for the info. there are some vaccums that come with inbuilt camera to map area. I thought this one had that feature
Does this go back to its base on its own? And does it do it when the battery is low?
Yes, if it’s within range it will return to its base when the battery is running low.
I bought thanks to you
Hope you enjoy it!
When you say doesnt work on 5g do you mean it works on WiFi ?
Great presentation, i was wondering if one could use this vac without WiFi? I have no WiFi at my home
Yes, you can. The Wi-Fi light flashes which is a bit annoying but it will operate without being connected.
How long does battery lasts per single charge please?
It depends on flooring. I get around 45mins on my mix of hardwood floors, rugs and shallow pile carpets.
Are you still happy with your eufy?
Use it everyday. It’s great.
Northern ireland?
Edinburgh, but a lot of people think I’m Irish : )
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 bought it at amzn.to/3nGcEXx
This is so helpful - thank you. And glad to hear it’s working so well for you
irs the same but now
The fact that you are calling it “The Alexa”… gives me some hints of why it isn’t working 😅😅😅
We’re big users of tech in this house which includes two teenage boys. None of us could get it working! But my husband has just endorsed your view that calling Alexa ‘The Alexa’ shows my age! 😆
Gees people are sooooo lazy these days...I WANT ONE!!😂😂
Too much dramatisation
It's confusing because you do not have an Alexa. No one has an Alexa. It's called an amazon dot or echo.
Alexa is the word that it responds to, not the name of the product. Just saying. I would prefer more important information instead of too much talk.
It’s called Alexa now developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa
