Eufy - C10 Robot Vacuum with Auto-Empty Station

I just got it a few days ago and am running it head to head with a RoboRock Q8 Max+. See my comparison here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1h2ip9d/switched\_from\_22\_roomba\_j7\_to\_roborock\_q8\_max/?sort=new](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1h2ip9d/switched_from_22_roomba_j7_to_roborock_q8_max/?sort=new) So far, the C10 is leading over the Q8 for me. I have 2 dogs and hard floors with some low pile area rugs. Still running more tests with both, but I plan on returning one of them in another week during the 30 day trial period.

I just got the vacuum 2 days ago. I like it slim design so it can go under my couches. I would like to see better navigation when it comes to vacuuming on carpet because because on carpet it will continue and straight lines until it bumps something. Then it will start going all over the place because it missed areas

I just got a Eufy C10 today. Reasons were price, and size. I bought it on the Amazon Spring sale for $269. My house is tiny, and I wanted a small overall vacuum set up that worked efficiently, emptied itself, and was slim enough to go under furniture easily. I didn’t need a mop. I like it, it’s much quieter than my old Roomba 890. I wasn’t used to the mapping process, but now having done it once, I understand how to make a better map based on today’s experience. The C10 picks up dirt, dust and dog hair much better than I had been used to. Difficulties were small and surmountable. Documentation could be improved. As a simple example, how to release the brush guard and remove the brush end caps - they said what to do without much detail. Illustration would be better, because it’s a bit tricky if you’re unfamiliar. The app is user friendly, if you take time to get familiar with it. After one day, I’m happy with this robovac. It checks all the boxes I required.

I owned a Shark Ion Robot for years. It was a random drunken sailor, bumping into everything. Eventually it would clean everywhere but without rhyme or reason. Low pile carpet and vinyl. Then we tried the Envoya Robot Vacuum. It was like a nazi, rigid patterns. It got stuck everywhere, the app was difficult, and I couldn’t map it. This time we are one floor throughout, LVP. No door jambs or anything. We returned it. Next we got the Eufy self-emptying with LIDAR. (Can you hear the angels singing?) What a wonderful vacuum! It maps the perimeter first. Then it goes inside the middle very systematically. It never gets stuck. It slows down because of the LIDAR and doesn’t bump into the furniture. When it docks, it empties in a powerful, long suction. Then a razor runs back and forth across the bar cutting any hair or string. Then it empties again! When it encounters a rug or a spot with extra debris, it automatically increases suction power. I sing its praises. Cost was under $300. Strongly recommend.

I'm a eufy enthusiast. They're quiet and affordable. We're about to upgrade to a self emptying one in our main room.

Eufy makes great ones and has a very easy app to use. Get one with the emptying station and you can leave it untouched for months. Be sure to follow maintenance recommendations - clean out dust bin every N hours, that sort of thing. If you go that route and have a dog (or kid) that sometimes leaves a mess that would make a bigger mess getting vacuumed, time the scheduled cleanings for after you've been around and had the chance to pick up small stuff and make sure there's no messes.

Gentle cleaning can make some of the parts last longer than they say - in particular the ones with soft rubber/silicone seals. I bought generic (non Eufy brand) bags for my self-emptying station and they work great.
