RoboVac 11S Max

The Eufy 11S Max is so quiet that I don’t know it’s running, but my floors are clean and the dust bin is full. It was $79 refurbished from BestBuy.com. This model is programmed from a remote control, and doesn’t connect to WiFi, so if you want to use an app to control it, look a model or two higher up. I paired the cheap Eufy with a refurbished iRobot (Roomba) Braava mop for ~$100. I run the vac every morning so that dust (dirt road outside) and two cats worth of fur never build up. I have the Braava mop most afternoons, tho I have to refill its water and cleaning solution every few days. I bought extra mop pads and swap those every 2-3 days so that they aren’t trying to clean with a dirty mop. (Generic ones from Amazon.) I’m messy and have indoor-outdoor cats. But my floors are so clean that they squeak. Or they did until I reduced the amount of cleaning solution in the mop by 1/2…. Now they just feel clean and don’t bother me to walk on.

I got a refurbished cheap Eufy 11S Max, and it handles the fur from my two cats without issues (granted that’s less fur than your dog sheds, but i only empty its bin once a week now that it cleans daily, so it should handle your dog fur as well, but you’ll have to empty the bin daily to start with, and less often as it goes on). It is a “dumb” vacuum with no WiFi and no subscription (also no mop). But it was $80. It’s also nearly silent, so you could run it at night, or early in the morning so that the floors are clean when you wake up. I suggest you get one similar to that \^ to run every day, maybe twice a day (I did twice a day when I had three cats). It’s the “get all the crumbs and hair up” unit so that the mop can deal with the rest. Then you get a good vac + mop unit with a combination of good mopping and no subscription. (Adding a mop means less dirt capacity for the vacuum, which means it would work harder to get less done in more time, which doesn’t sound like it would fit your needs). I would run it as just a mop right after the cheap vacuum finishes its sweeping run (you can program this once you know how long each will take). Do not run that unit with vac and mop at the same time or you will have wet fur to clean out of the unit. For the first 1-2 weeks, you might want to run the mop twice a day. That will slowly clean any built up dirt until you decide that once a day is enough.

My old fashioned Eufy 11s max is controlled by a remote. It doesn’t make a map, just bounces around at random. I like it that way: my previous mapping vacuum was too easily confused by moved furniture or being picked up when it got stuck.

I love my refurbished Eufy 11S - it’s not smart, it doesn’t empty itself, it gets tangled in cords, but it’s quiet and cheap. Like, less than $100.

Yes, they have. We got a very basic Eufy 11S Max -- just vacuums with a remote control. We just . . . upgraded to a Eufy with wifi but much better suction. Lemme tell you, a real quality of life improver. We have 2 dogs. :)

My husband’s grandmother has a variable number of dogs and cats inside her house at any given time, but never less than five. We got her a super-basic Eufy 11S MAX two years ago, no app, no dock, no roller even, and she loves it. The hair just gets sucked in and all she has to do is press the power button and let it blunder around aimlessly eating hair. She doesn’t mind manually emptying the dirt compartment. Costs about $$150, but we got it on sale for under $100.

If height is the issue, something without the LiDAR tower might honestly make more sense for that bathroom setup. The Eufy 11S/11S Max are super slim and fit under places most newer premium robots can’t. The tradeoff is weaker navigation/smarts compared to the Mova, but for mainly cleaning a master bathroom + bedroom area, that might actually be perfectly fine.
