Any new Eufy Robovac parents out there?

A couple of weeks ago there was a flurry of recommendations for the Eufy RoboVac on a couple of threads.
Several posters declared they would be buying one. I was one of them.
I wondered how other new owners were getting on. We are delighted with ours.
To start with it did not seem like a time saver, but this was because we were so fascinated with its purposeful scurrying that we just sat and watched it.
Now it gets going via the app every morning at 6.30 and does three rooms plus many yards of hall carpet.
It is truly amazing how much it picks up. After four days on the same route it still fills up each time. It seems to be mainly picking up dust, but where does it keep coming from?
Just two complaints: the small pieces of adhesive paper supplied is not very sticky. You use those if you want to create a barrier. When you interrupt its routine to tell it to go back to its base it won’t go straight there but rather indignantly insists on going via the pretty route.
Otherwise great!
Anyone else?

I may or may not have been lying on the floor to check it's reaching all spots under the sofa... well done Violet!

@Dominoz my floor has never been so clean, no more rice crisps sticking to socks following the kids at breakfast.
I'm still fascinated over the huge amount of fluff that is collected after a daily run over the carpets. Is 'Guffy' just slowly stripping the top layer of carpet off or is there really just years of ground in dirt being removed?
The first time I did the downstairs 'she' stopped half way round asking to be emptied!!

Think you have me converted. Does she choke on Lego or ignore/push it around?

I've ordered the G30 Edge - we have quite a big house and our cordless Dyson keeps dying after 2 rooms. I have quite long hair and seem to shed as much as a golden retriever, how do they cope with long hair? I normally have to de-tangle the Dyson and it's a pain. I am SLIGHTLY concerned, as a visually impaired person with reduced peripheral vision, that this new member of the household is going to trip me over, but we'll see.

It's here already and the whole family has been fascinated watching it! It's currently sat in it's little house charging before it carries on pottering about :)

Thank you so much for this thread.
New Eufy 15C Max arrived yesterday, I’ve bought it for upstairs, it’s fab and I am horrified by how full it has been after every outing. Why did I not get one before. Thanks for tips about raising beds etc so that it can hoover underneath.

Thank you so much for this thread, I’ve just sat an read all 34 pages Blush.

Anyway I’ve just ordered my eufy!!! He/she is coming tomorrow and I’m SO excited, rang BF at work (he thought someone bad had happened 😂).

Need to decide a name, I might leave it to DS but I think he’ll come up with a silly name that doesn’t befit such a cute creature. I’m thinking Alfie (if it’s a boy) or Effy (it’s a girl). I’ll await their arrival
Tomorrow and wait till I see their
Face before I make such an important decision

School and told him the good news and he’s suggested Gerald Hoover 3000 so little
Gerald it is!

I'm reactivating this to ask whether anybody else's Eufy "bounces" along the carpet sometimes? It leaves little ruffles!

And I suspect there might be some new Eufy parents after Prime Day. Grin
