Not one word about privacy lol
Tip: I added a puck light to mine. It's better.
Thank you for this info… started researching so many "buying guides" are just manufacturers ad's verbatim and no comparisons between any models.
Thanks for the informative reviews, much needed for a first time robo vac buyer
should of known a chubby indian nerd would be hosting this video.
Do not play music while you are talking……..sigh
So… you guys go from a budget sub 200$ example to a mid-range 600-700$ one? That is a massive jump in price, I believe that people would also like to see 400$ examples.
I think these are the best inventions for the modern day Apartment. But I don’t think they are smart enough to do a huge home. Say over 1500 sq ft.
Looking to spend under $500 for mopping 2200sqft of luxury vinyl floors with 1 low pile rug. I have no pets but mostly need for spills and crumbs in the kitchen and dining area and regular cleaning throughout. Which lidar based robot with good customer service will MOP the best in my price range? Was looking at roborock S7, s5 max and Ilife w450? Any others to consider? For ex Dreametech? TIA
How do we go from under $200 to over $600? What about the in between?
the slternative is a maid in this segment
Roborock has all the stuff roomba has for well less than half the cost
Kitty! You get a like 👍 for that
We love our basic Eufy 11S Max. Sure, it's dumb, but it eventually gets every nook and cranny and it's actually fun to watch. It was super easy on the wallet too.
I think this is the best and most in depth video on a robo vac. Thanks so much for ur time and effort, being super clear and honest. 😍
9:12: forget a new phone hahaha
Sheesh! The human race is lazy. Complains about cleaning. Builds robots to clean for them. Complains about having to empty the bin.
Mi Robot is better…..
How would you compare the two higher end vacuums you showed and the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid?
I think two smaller bots with a base station and dust bin would be awesome. These bots are severely limited by their size. Having two smaller guys zipping around into tight spaces would be way more efficient and clean, although expensive.
Ok, I have not heard Mr. Magoo reference in years – that made me stop and LOL.
do you know Arnagar S8？comparing roborock and ecovacs, are they similar?
Not gonna lie mine definitely spread excrement across my kitchen floor one day 😆 I have the Eufy 35c and the only con about it is it repeats cleaning because it doesn’t map out where it’s cleaning but other than that it’s the best vacuum in my house I have a Dyson I have a brand new Bissell stick vacuum and an Electrolux vacuum and I’m telling you that little robot cleans the best !!!!
It's mentioned in the video that Eufy 25C doesn't have app control but the fact is it does.
He jumps right from a $188 vac to a $600+ "midrange". How about $200-$400?
how did wer get from buget under 200$ to mid range of 600-700$ lul
Great video, I have one more question. What robot vacuum is the best at climbing over small things like room dividers? Because my Eufy gets stuck in the hallway/bedroom section of my house and in the kitchen and can't make it into the living room, because of those little dividers on the floor.
They seem cool, but I’ll wait a few years to jump in and buy one.
SO glad I stayed for the end of the video! Well done!
Great video 🙂👍 structured ✅ entertaining ✅ informative ✅
You just convinced me none of these are worth it. Total time to clean room with a cordless? Five minutes and it does it better, exactly the way you like it.
I personally have a Eufy 25C and an Ilife…something… and I love them! I call them my little floor demons as if you have someone over or are just walking around, you can trip over them, or they both come at you in full speed!
In all seriousness though, the Eufy 25C is a fantastic vacuum for beginners!
Will the S9+ avoid poo, too?
Nice comparison of robot vacuum, i want a robot vacuum with remote control.
Does anyone like the new Eufy x8?
How does a cheaper one with random navigation make it to my bedrooms and happen to go down the hallway and then turn left? It might just keep bumping back and forth in the living room furniture. Am I missing something?
The difference between the low-end and mid-range prices is ridiculous. There are vacuums for $200-$300 and the mid-range should be within this price. $130-$600 is not a reasonable jump.
anyone know best vacc for uneven tile ie: Mexican tile?? Does it matter type of tile ie: even to uneven tile?
The last feature is a bit disturbing. People don’t clean up after their pet?
I own a Wyze Robot Vac and work super! I'm super happy with it.
Where can I buy elbow grease?
What a helpful and professional review. Thank you
