Eufy - G30 Edge

NEVER would I have thought my aged, refurbished Eufy Robovac G30 that can barely vacuum 1/2 the house without running out of batteries and constantly has roller brush clogs and bearing issues would outlast all of iRobot.

I've had a Eufy G30 running every other day for 3+ years in our basement. I finally grabbed a generic maintenance kit for it off Amazon for $12.99. New filter, side brush and roller brush, etc. I don't know if it's "Buy it for Life", but it's certainly been working fine for a long time. I have a weekly routine of emptying its little plastic container, and it's always full of dust, hair, cat litter, etc. It obviously is doing its job!

Eufy G30…. Had it for a few years…. It does a great job….. you should ask people what the names of their robo vac is…. It’s telling about a person….. mine is named Optimus Grime.

Looking through other posts about this, it seems like all of the recommendations are for vacuum/mop robovacs, I really just want the best option that only vacuums. We have one low pile rug, everything else is laminate flooring or tile. Previously had the Eufy G30 which was fine. I’ve seen that duorollers with the roborock q8 are good, but I don’t need the mopping part. Same for mova p10, seems great but I don’t want to spend extra for mopping. I also don’t care either way about a self emptying docking station. So, are there better options outside of the duo vacuum/mops that are under $400?

I have the G30 and X8. G30 croaked within a year. They sent me a used replacement which is working fine after almost 4 years of usage. But battery life is whack. X8 sucked big time from the get go. It didn’t do a good job cleaning like the G30. And right after 1 year, the WiFi dropped all of a sudden. And I can’t get it to connect to my network. Tried everything. X8 is a POS! On another note, I tried the Roomba J6+ about 7 months ago. That shit was whack! Returned it after using it for about a week. Thank God for Costco!

We have Euphy. I would do another brand, I’ve had to exchange it 3 times in one year and once the warranty ended I barely use it because it’s noisy.

I made fun of robot vacs for years, assuming that people who owned them were just lazy. But I got one (Black Friday deal) the year we got new carpet and I freaking LOVE my vac. His name is Reese (from *Malcolm in the Middle*, because our vac is aggressive and stupid), and I have him go 5 days a week. I still run the big vac around the whole house to get the deeper stuff; Reese really only picks up the surface level stuff. I paid around $130 for my Anker Eufy and I feel like it was worth every penny.
