"My Eufy 11S has been sucking dog hair for 5 years now 6 out of 7 night a week."
"It ’s been great on hardwood floor and med pile rugs. ... I have two shibas; the hair and debris is never ending."
"Well, as a happy Eufy 11s and Omni c20 user I can tell you who budget models are for: folks who can't keep up with daily cleaning, but also can't afford $1000+ for a robot, and are willing to roll with "acceptably good" over "perfect!" when the price is right :) ... I have two messy long haired dogs and very limited time to devote to cleaning. Any help is good help!"

"Fine and a half years in and the thing is an absolute tank"
"I can vouch for the 11S, have had one since 2016."
"the ultra-budget 11s was still working well after 5 years when I gave it away last fall"

"Best budget entry level. ... A good affordable entry point to see if we liked robots ... I think I paid like $99, and I had a gift certificate so it was only about $50 out of pocket."
"It is or was a Wirecutter fave for years as a budget friendly alternative."
"it's really cheap and does a good job"

"replaced one wheel and a battery (super easy, love the support parts)"
"Spares are very easily available and it's self serviceable, I changed one of the brush motors after the gearbox broke (down to me not picking up things that wrap round the sweepers.)"
"is easily user repairable with parts directly from Eufy."

"the effort is totally worth the respect to my privacy ... I’d rather have some bumps in the furniture than an app collecting data on my phone and the robot connected to the internet."
"No app, no cloud"
"If you want to use the cleaner by just pressing the button to clean, you absolutely can."

"it has ZERO navigation - bumping against walls and furniture is how it knows to turn around and go another direction. ... It absolutely will hit objects and walls. ... cleaning 175sf takes it about 40-60 minutes."
"The Eufy just goes in a random pattern until its battery runs out. ... I think it’s fair to say that the Eufy method puts a hell of a lot more strain and wear and tear on the machine in any given week as it has a lot of wasted effort and movement."
"It will eat cables (and shoelaces, and yarn, and scarves, and coat sleeves and... anything its path) - get them out of thr way."

"it has the worst tangling brush of any of the robots we have used ... I had to clean it every time I used it, and you can only cut long hair off it - the brush is a single molded piece and there is no way to get to the ends other than scissors."
"you will forever be emptying the puny dustbox, especially if you have a dog or cat."
"pain in the ass maintenance ... clearing the brush ... banging the filter ... digging out the hair ... If you have pets or even more than a few people with long hair, be prepared to clean the brush with scissors or a knife every run."

"I have to do a walkthrough before I activate my ~~four three~~ two remaining Eufy 11S vacuums."
"It does need you to "Eufy-proof" your rooms like with a toddler"

"None seems particularly great on carpet. ... You're just not going to get as good a vacuum job as you will with a power brush on a Miele or whatever."

"Sadly we had it replaced under extended warranty twice, and the third time (maybe around 4 years after initial purchase) we got a refund"
"My Eufy 11s (the top budget pick on Wirecutter) died after about 2 years - first the battery needed replacing then the motor burned out. ... It ’s disposable tech just like cheap e-bikes and phones."
"2 years is the most you're going to get out of them. ... But it's annoying that these things are designed just to fail that quickly."
