"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."


"The X40 is so far ahead in the object avoidance realm that it's not even a contest. ... I have my Dreame X40 running at midnight every day and never have to worry about it getting stuck on something or caught on something because it's object avoidance works so well, even in the dark and on all surfaces. ... It stays clear of cat toys, cords, socks, paper towels and all sorts of random household junk. ... the fact that I can run the Dreame daily will keep my house cleaner."


"The obstacle avoidance is also very good and I only have the pet in house setting on for pet messes and it recognizes my fake dog poop all the time and drive around it."

"I run it once a day, and mop a couple times a week. ... In fact, my wet/dry floor vacuum just died so its pulling even more work right now as it's the only real mop I now have, other than a Swiffer."


"My GOD am I glad I did. I had no idea how much I had been missing! ... We have 2 dogs and a cat, and live more rural. That means dirty paws folks, and a lot of them. The mopping and vacuuming has been no short of amazeballs. Not amazing. Amazeballs."


"The current champ of perfectly sparkling clean floors. ... Have 5 dogs tracking in dirt all day? Run this mop and go eat off the floor. That's how clean it is. ... Step aside spinny & vibration mops, this constantly clean roller mop is the champ. ... The mopping ability is light-years ahead of the Curv. ... The continously cleaning of fresh water is where is truly unique. ... You will be delighted and shocked on how amazing this E28 is. Its truly incomparable to any roborock. Get ready to start eating off your floors 😁😉"

My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. ...

All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. ... looking back it was definitely worth the investment."

Hey, I review robots for a living. Under $800. I would highly recommend the eureka j15 Pro ultra and you don't even have to wait till Prime day. There's a coupon right now so it's 750. Easy to use app, in this price band, this is the robot that most impressed me. I can individually disqualify most of the other models in this price band, but if you look at my threads you'll be able to see all of that anyways

I only tested the Eureka in an attempt to make sure I was branching out from the usual suspects (Dreame, Roborock, Ecovacs, Eufy). I didn't expect much because honestly, legacy brands that try to transition to smart home always screw it up, IMO. So far, I've tested three of the J15 line. And they're not the best robovacs I've ever tested... usually higher end models inhabit that space. But I admit I was surprised by how well they performed. I found myself noticing the quiet, and this was the model that helped drill home how important that triad is under the robot. The sweep, the roller, the suction. No matter how high the Pa is, if those aren't in the right design, the suction doesn't pull enough debris. I guess my point is that it turned out to be a very reliable model, it was consistent. The razor did a very good job cutting hair so it didn't cause problems. I thought the app was very easy to use. I wasn't overwhelmed. My main complaint is that the robot is overly tall and the tower not very attractive. That's why I recommend them as much as I do. For under $500, they're an exceptional pick. (when on sale, obvs)

amandainpdx • 3 months ago

I literally just had this convo in a PM w someone from rtings. I do. I thought the L40 was a better robot than most Dreame models, and while I didn't find it worth the value at the original price, I do think its worth it on sale. The P10 doesn't have longevity, IMO, because I think they skimp on hardware to keep the costs down. That's my hot take, and I totally get that I'm an island (I also dislike Eufy, and people in this sub love them) but I use a different testing method than most other testers (I test in an actual home setting), and I stand by it. The thing is, in that band, the L40 is my last pick. I'd get either the J15 or 3i before I got the L40. In the end, the model you pick is likely going to be fine, regardless. you haven't tested 100 robovacs, so like a virgin on your wedding night, it's all probably gonna seem great. if you feel strongly about the P10, go for it.

3i is only new because they have been making robots for everybody else for many years. Eureka is not a new brand at all. The j15 is theirs. Eureka has been in vacuums forever. I mean I would go with the most expensive one that you can reasonably afford.

yeah. for the hair, you need something with razors in the roller. I think the Eureka J15 line is really unparalleled in that way. And I like the machine generally, too. I think its a good value when on sale. The larger sweepers are effective at getting debris off the floor. I've tried the J15 ultra, the J15 pro and the J15 max pro and I've been happy w all three.

My Eureka J15 has a hair cutter built into it to prevent it from getting tangled. I haven't had it for very long yet, so I can't really say if it's good or not yet. My old roomba was terrible with pet hair, it wouldn't vacuum it up at all, and would just leave logs of hair around the floor.

Ok so I have bought 3 robovacs in the last month. a cheap roborock with no dock, a j15 ultra and a ecovacs omni. By far the best mapping was roborock. But the other two vacs are better as they mop and have docks. The eureka j15 pro ultra is the best but the ecovacs isn't much worse for half the price. I paid 250 for the roborock, 650 for the ecovacs and 1200 for the eureka j15. My favourite is the j15 pro ultra and its not much different to the j15 ultra going for 900 now. The battery lasts way longer than the ecovacs omni but both do about the same level of cleaning. I run both mine twice a day just to see how they go and my floors have never been cleaner, whatever way you go a robot vac is awesome. Just schedule in and it cleans, best m9ney I've spent in a while. And yes I do need a couple as I have a large house. This is australia pricing aswell and I bought on the Amazon sales so they were cheap.

It lifts its mops when transitioning floor types, and it does just fine on my floors. No it doesn’t mop carpet but I wouldn’t expect any robot to be good at deep cleaning a carpet, and adding moisture to carpet regularly is not going to be good. The J15 has done great for me, enough that I bought a second one.

I like my Eureka J15 pro ultra so much I bought a second one. Had a high end roomba before and was never really impressed. I do wish I could buy just one robot and multiple docks, but I guess that’s not how they make profit.

I posted my experience above and what vac works for my hairy household haha ! Long story short , Dyson ( with the exception of a cheaper housewarming gift bissel) was the fastest we killed a vac with our hair so we returned it vs warranty claim . I’m not a diehard eureka fan but so far they have hit home runs on our standard vac and robot , and I can’t wait to upgrade to the J15 series ! The hair cutting tech is a must with 3 long hair humans and a double coat shedding shepsky that thinks she’s a cat + a cat that thinks he’s a dog lol

Exotic-ScratchN-Snif • 3 months ago

I’m a fan of the Eureka robot series ( have the E20 but plan to upgrade to the J series) or any pet/hair specific models they have. I have a shepsky, my wife is Pacific Islander with hair to her butt , I have hair past my shoulder blades , and our son has long hair as well . The hair cutting roller device on our normal vac has allowed us to not need to replace our vac within the first year , Dyson included on the list that failed within a year ! The J15 pro also has a hot mop and dry feature with rotating pads! I picked the E20 series because I’m not quite sold on needing disposable bags for the collection bin and the E series houses in a container similar to a vac .

Sounds like you need a new vacuum. Check out the Eureka J15. It's self-cleaning and shreds the hair when it docks. 16500 Pa of suction power also sucks every bit of hair and dust. It really made a huge difference for my place with two cats. It's like I have a wife now, but she only comes to clean twice a day.

I had the j15 for 1 week before returning it. Did alot of circles and got confused alot. Think the camera was messed up since when viewing it the video would be flashing pixels and red. Reboot would fix camera for awhile but kept happening. The robot and station seemed very ni e but the one I got was worthless. I reached out to customer service and all I got was we received your email and will get back with you and after a few more emails to them and no response I wast keeping a product with 0 support. Mixed reviews on it just like every brand. Think they are all hit or miss

I too went thru 5 ecovacs before giving up on them after my ecovacs x1 omni died just after 2.5 years of use. I'm ended up with the eureka j15 pro ultra but did have a bad camera and they replaced it for free after a bad review and Amazon returned my money so was completely free. I have been using it for about 1 month daily now and has been flawless and when I flipped it over for a monthly cleanup there was not 1 hair wrapped around the roller, couldn't believe it. One thing to consider is eureka support is slower than ecovacs if help is needed so keep that in mind. Ecovacs has always treated me well and went above and beyond to try and make things right if had a problem but after 5 bad robots in a row just couldn't trust the quality anymore. Good luck and hold on for the head spinning from all the positive and negative reviews of them all. Lol

Fresh-Shoulder5325 • 10 months ago

I have an ecovacs t30s pro and is great at avoidance and vacuuming, mopping is decent, I have the eureka j15 pro ultra and is almost to smart at avoidance, I have most ai features turned off and still avoids everything just not as efficient as the ecovacs. I also have the ecovacs n30 pro omni for the basement and for a mid level robots with self empty self cleaning station it is awesome. No cameras or fancy avoidance but does a kick butt job at vacuuming and mopping and still avoids the fake dog crap and toys with no problem. You are going to get great reviews and bad reviews on every model out there. Took me 6 returns to get the ones I have now and only reason I have the eureka j15 pro ultra is they sent me a completely free one because of my negative review but I only updated the review and not change it after their free gift.

Fresh-Shoulder5325 • 9 months ago

Ecovacs n30 pro omni has done fabulous for 3 plus months in my basement so far and usually around the 500 mark on sale. It does not have an internal water tank though so only wets the mops per your settings in the app which works fine for my needs. I use the eureka j15 pro ultra on my main floor and is awesome so far but is about double that price unless on sale.

I would stay clear of ecovacs products lately. They have been going downhill on quality alot. There are alot better options for the money. I do have the ecovacs n30 pro omni in my basement that I really like but took 6 bad robots to get one good one. Gave up on ecovacs for the main floor robot and finally went with the eureka j15 ultra pro and loving it so far. I'm super interested in the new eufy e25 with roller mop and alot better suction coming out in June or the e28 with portable steam cleaner out now. I just powered off the eureka after 2 months of daily cleaning and couldn't believe not 1 hair on the main roller so the scissor cutting feature really works. We only have 1 lab/border collie mix, a large parrot for pets and just the wife and I, so fairly clean house all the time.
