I am desperate to get one for the endless golden retriever hair around.

Just bought a Eufy 30C, and I love him (Eugene).

Stumpedasatree · 07/01/2020 19:18

@EmmaStone tell me more. I am thinking the Eufy model below that, the 11S.

I’ve got a basic eufy. I’m really pleased with him.

Sebastian.

Also have hairy golden retriever and a lot of hard flooring could do with a robo mop and hoover. Are they easy to set up?

We have a basic eufy too (Jim) and love him, it's not an exaggeration to say he's been life-changing!

Eugene's brilliant, I like the app, as I get a notification on my phone/watch when he's in trouble. The cat's very suspicious, but starting to become accepting. Eugene bumbles around the house, sucking up the fluff as he goes. It's a great stop gap in between proper cleans. Very, very easy to set up, easy to empty, a thumbs up all around!

Eufy, known as Oofy Prosser, has been a godsend at our house. He's an 11S and keeps the chaps under control. I empty the dust box about once a week but other than that he takes care of himself.

And it's a great way of making sure the children pick stuff up off the floor. It they don't, they know that Oofy will eat it.

Also OP, as you'll have noticed, it's the law that you have to name them. Grin

We have a Roomba that you can control via an app if you want to, and set a schedule. It also re docks itself to charge once finished. It's really good. It was quite expensive compared to other brands.

Ours was named Stacey by our 6 year old!

I ordered a Eufy a few days ago he is arriving on Saturday .
I hope he likes cat litter Envy < not .

There is another post started on here a couple of weeks ago about robovac I cannot do links on my phone if you have a search for robovac I'm sure it will come up there lots of recommendations on there .
It's definitely what inspired me to go ahead with something that I wanted for quite a while

Stumpedasatree · 09/01/2020 18:43

@AlCalavicci I've just ordered a Eufy 11S too. Fingers crossed it saves many hours!

Let me know what you think when it arrives.

@EmmaStone we also have a Eufy called Eugene! I love ours too!

moredogsthansense · 09/01/2020 19:02

Have had ours about 2-3 years? First one stopped working quite soon and Eufy replaced it at once, no questions asked. Eugene 2 has been wonderful.

fedup21 · 09/01/2020 19:07

We have a Eufy 30C

He’s good-he cleans pretty well, though does tend to get stuck under things and will try to eat cables if left lying around (headphones for example!). I love the way he knows where the stairs are and doesn’t fall down them!

@Stumpedasatree
Here is a link to lots of us talking about Robot vacs

( I am on there but have name changed since )

AlCalavicci · 11/01/2020 22:47

@Stumpedasatree I am watching my Eufy do its thing now , it seems to be doing a good job it managed all the tracked cat litter with no problem ,
It goes in very random directions but it is easy to controle with the remote if you want ti to pay attention to one area .

It has not got stuck anywhere yet and is coping fine with the slight ridges in the floor between the kitchen and living room

My cat is not impressed , he is a bit scared of it but keeps batting it with his paws if it comes to close and he is feeling brave .

I have not name it . . . . . .yet. . . . .
