"making the huge mistake of buying the Eureka j15 ... I care about does it actually do the job and is it going to last because even $800-$1000 robot that doesn't last 3 months isn't worth $50 to me"
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
Stand by what I said. J15 pro ultra
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. You can see them all here: [https://amzn.to/4iiCA5F](https://amzn.to/4iiCA5F) (<- that's an affiliate link, btw)
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)
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.
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.
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
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 .
I got a Eureka j15 pro ultra in December and until now. zero issue with it. until now....
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
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.
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 have the eureka j15 pro ultra, 1st one had a bad camera and 2nd one has been flawless for over 2 months. Great avoidance and great suction. Love the hair cutting feature as it docks. Only time will tell but after sending 5 ecovacs back within 3 months will never go back to them.
The eureka j15 pro ultra has been great for us.
My eureka j15 pro ultra has been great with vacuuming, mopping and avoidance is a major plus. Only issue i have had in 4 months is it lost it's bluetooth connection and had to reconnect it which was very easy per the app.
I recommend the Eureka j15 Pro ultra unit. Had mine 5 months now and am very impressed with it. Love the scissor cutting feature, after 5 months, not 1 hair on my main roller brush. Does a great job vacuuming and for the dual spinning mop pads does a great job mopping too.
I have been using the eureka j15 pro ultra and very satisfied with it so far.
I got the n30 pro omni and love it, for a cheaper unit it has run flawless and vacuums and mops great. We use it for our finished basement that's all lvp and a few area rugs. This cheaper one has worked better than any expensive ecovacs product so far. I use the eureka j15 pro ultra for main floor and after a few issues up front it has proven to be a very good unit too.
Haven't tried roborock or dreame but see mixed reviews on all the brands. I ended up with the eureka j15 pro ultra and satisfied with it.
Look into eureka j15 pro ultra, very satisfied with mine. I do have the n30 pro omni for my basement and is also very good for a mid range model.
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.
Is the J15 Pro Ultra worth the higher price over the J15 Ultra?
I would like to thank you once again! You gave me the push I needed to order the Eureka J15 Pro Ultra!
I am very happy with my Eureka J15 Pro Ultra. It's on sale right now on Eureka site
I was comparing a few robot vacuums recently and ended up going with an Eureka model. Honestly didn’t expect much, but the suction and mapping turned out to be way better than I thought for the price. Apparently eureka and forbes are different in india. You may consider their eureka j15 pro model.
I got the eureka j15 pro ultra. I swore it would do great in my area rugs. It doesn’t so don’t get it lol.
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.
