Just wondering if anyone had given them a try and to share my own experiences.
We decided to pick up a Eufy Robovac 11 in an Amazon lightning deal. These devices are massively cheaper than they used to be when Roombas were the only option. We got ours for £140, which puts it into "What!? That's half of a Dyson!" territory.
We both work 9-5:30, and including the commute, we're out of the house from 7:20am to 7pm. With such long working days I knew we weren't hoovering as much as we'd like. And that was a bit of a shame because a freshly-hoovered carpet does feel and look quite nice.
I got the Eufy fully prepared to have to return it -- expectations were that low. Its specs say it's good for hard floors and short-pile carpet. Out ground floor is entirely doorless from hallway to living/dining room, to kitchen. Hall and kitchen are hardwood and tile, but the living/dining room is reasonably thick carpet.
It arrived and I set it up, ready for it to fail on the carpet. But off it went, perfectly happy. It crosses between surfaces fine, gets into corners acceptably, and does a really great job on edges.
It's been superb. And a great side-effect is that we tend to put stuff away so that the Eufy's got a clear run every day (it starts automatically at 10am), so there's generally less clutter around too.
If you've been thinking about giving these a try, you could do much worse than the Robovacs!
