Eufy - RoboVac X8 (Original)

Morning all, Hoping to get a recommendation on a robot mop and vacuum because honestly reading all the reviews is starting to send me batty and every time I think i find a decent one there are then like 10 comments saying to avoid it so hoping to get some recommendations from real people. I currently have a eufy x8 which is fine but the mopping function is useless and it gets tangled fairly often. It is super handy though because with 2 dogs I can't be bothered vacuuming every day but still want the house looking decent. I probably would have just kept this for another year or 2 but I had surgery a few months ago which left me unable to lift a mop bucket and the proper vacuum for 2 months so I realised having a robot that can do a good job on both would be so helpful. Hybrid plank flooring throughout the house with a few area rugs. One level house so no stairs or anything. 2 dogs, wirey terrier and short haired great Dane cross. I have heard the ecovacs Max pro is good but then some reviews mentioned the mop head not raising 18mm and constantly getting the carpet, the t30s combo looked really good to and has the additional stick vac which would be so handy but some reviews weren't kind to the mopping capabilities of it. Any help would be great thanks! If it helps I was looking at the eufy x10 pro omni (really good price atm), ecovacs t30s combo (stick vac would be super handy), ecovacs t50 pro and t50 Max pro (not really sure what the difference is other than the colour and $300)

I got a 30c to see if they were any good and was impressed. Then got an x8 which was a real upgrade. Picks up more dust and fur than the original

Same - Our new Eufy x8 has done much better than the 3 different Roombas we tried before it - pets and ladies in this house and I love that it cleans its rollers too. I’d highly recommend it!

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.

We love ours. Had the X8 model with the docking station for just over 12 months. We just use the vacuum function, not the mop. It doesnt do as good job as a human with a normal vacuum. We manually go over the tight corners and edges every month or so. But it does a great job on the main floor area, both carpet and laminate. Ours is set on a plug timer every tuesday night at 3am to charge for 3 hours, then it automatically powers up and cleans our downstairs at 6am, which takes it 40 mins. It then goes back to its dock and empties itself. Usually finishes with about 15% battery left. This 15% is fully drained while it is asleep in the next 24hours and the robovac auto shuts down until its next charge on the following tuesday. Every fortnight I manually charge it for 3 hours and set it off upstairs which it completes in a similiar 40 mins to downstairs. It hasnt figured out how to do the stairs yet 😂 The only feature I think missing is an auto shutdown feature. Not had to deal with customer services or warranty as no issues.

We started with a Eufy X8 in 2023 (for £320) after our second child arrived and the hoovering just wasn't getting done. We were very happy with it but it lasted 13 months before one of the sensors gave up and it wouldn't operate any more. It was outside the 12m Eufy guarantee so they were useless. Luckily had bought through amazon who happened to have a 24m guarantee on it. We switched to a Samsung JetBot at similar price point with a 5y guarantee. Am happy with it but I think the eufy did a better job of hoovering, particularly with my wife's long hairs from the carpet. But I was disappointed with eufy's longevity so wouldn't go back to them unless they increase their guarantee. Both of these had mapping software so they went around in an organised/efficient route. The Eufy mapping was better than Samsung. Samsung can't cope with multiple floors. Ours lives in the kitchen where it goes around 3 times a day clearing up crumbs etc. We live in a house so we have to carry it to different floors when we need other rooms done.

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!

Had the robovac x8 Misbehaved after 12 months. They sent a warranty replacement. Battery life went to shit after 15 months. Bought an AliExpress Lublulemon. Came with its own bin to empty itself into. Cost half the cost. Works great. Go cheap and Chinese. The apps shit but it does a great job 5 days a week.

We got an Eufy X8 and works better than the previous Roomba. Quieter, and navigates the house better. They’re built by Anker and while it’s a Chinese company it’s on the premium end. As a bonus it doesn’t send out much data or “talk” to any host in China, I looked at the network logs

I have a Eufy X8 and its always disconnecting from the app or the battery dying for no reason. So probs not that lol.
