eufy Robot Vacuum C10 with Self Emptying, 8 Weeks Hands Free, Advanced Smart Mapping with LiDAR Navigation, 2.85-Inch Slim Design, Powerful Suction, Edge Expansion Brush for Pet Hair

Exceptional price for self cleaning. Reliable and consistent performance
I first bought the 11S Max. Was terrible experience. It banged into everything! Couldn’t follow a wall. Maybe a bad unit. Eufy has good reputation so proceeded on my search. Then decided on self emptying. It is a game changer! The C10 is a newer model and so incredible. It talks to inform you of cleaning, finishing, emptying/ self cleaning and charging cycles so you know exactly what it is doing. If you need to locate it, it literally plays a musical melody. The rotating brush literally is on an arm that will extend from unit to get corners and spaces while cleaning and under furniture. Most robots have fixed brushes. (The brush fell off the 11S Max!). The C10 rarely bumps into anything. It’s initial mapping still seems to be spot on for thorough cleaning. It gets into/under the tightest spaces but it always seems to find it’s way back out. It’s only got stuck once. You can pick different power cleaning modes and I chose standard. It is plenty and keeps the noise level down. I have plank flooring and area rugs and the ‘boost’ feature seems to be plenty for robot to climb onto rugs. I’ve opened the dust bin and filtet to check (curious) and this self cleaning mode works! In the brief attempt to use the 11S Max, I had to manually dump dustbin and clean filter. The Eufy does capture a lot, even the fine dust. I keep a clean house but was amazed at the fine dust this captured. My cat’s eyes showed great improvement just within 1 week! She has extreme allergies. So if you’re on the fence about the C10 being worth $100 more, it is. The C10 will alert when dustbag needs replacing. I’ve since learned other self emptying robots make you have to manually check a dustbag?! That leads to unnecessary exposure of dust to remove a bag to check how full. Defeats the whole purpose of self-contained dust collection! For those with allergies I’m sure I don’t need to explain how significant this C10 feature is! The C10 is exceptional for the price point. Amazon has the best price. I’ve never owned a Robot vacuum before. Researched brands and affordable price points. I was hesitant at first to spend another $100 over the S11 Max and other similarly-priced robot vacuums but it was the best decision ever.

Good basic robot vac for fur patrol.
My first robot vac. I did comparison testing of this C10 along with the Roborock Q8+ which vacuums and has a stationary mop pad, but I was not using the mop pad feature. I chose to try the Q8+ because of the obstacle avoidance.I have 2 short hair med/large dogs, 1 of which is part Husky and sheds a lot. That’s my primary reason for getting a robot vac. I also have medium length hair.The Roborock was nice, but the obstacle avoidance caused it to NOT pick up clumps of dog fur as it thought it was an obstacle. Defeats the purpose of picking up pet hair so I ended up returning it after comparing it to the C10.The C10 doesn’t have obstacle avoidance and must rely on the front bumper/sensor so it “drives by braille” quite a bit. It WILL however pick up all clumps of dog fur (along with anything else short or thin that you leave out on the floor like socks, cords, shoelaces, etc.). Anything that isn’t tall or wide enough for the front sensor to detect is going to get run over/sucked into the vacuum. If you tend to leave random items on the floor, this vac is not for you.I had to map my house twice because it completely missed my entryway for some reason. Like Roborock’s app, you cannot remap just one room/area of the house. The entire home has to be done in one run. It got everything the 2nd time though. I use an Android phone and the app is NOT Google verified. I don’t put labels on my map of what the rooms are, but it makes me wonder how many robot vacs are out there where these companies now have floorplans/locations of all our homes.The suction is decent and picks up the loose dog fur just fine from hard flooring and low pile rugs. It’s also quieter because of the lower suction level, but you’ll eventually need to vacuum rugs with a regular upright for a thorough cleaning.My hair and anything stringy will build up at the ends of the roller brush. The instructions don’t tell you how to take the rollers off the ends of the brush to easily pluck the coils of wrapped hair out, but just grab the roller and give it a little twist to remove it, then do the reverse to put it back.Customer service responds fairly quickly for questions/issues, but like a lot of companies, they are responding from China. Therefore, the grammar may be a bit difficult to understand or they may not respond until the middle of the night for the USA.Overall, if you have pets, want a basic vacuum-only model and are good about not leaving clutter lying around, I think you’ll be happy with this vacuum. I just purchased another one to give as a gift.

Good item and on time delivery.

When our first vacuum stopped working after one year (generic brand) we were looking for a new one. We purchased one from a competitor brand and we returned that one almost immediately as it just didn’t work correctly.We decided to give this one to try and put out a little bit more money out as this one seemed to have checked all the boxes for what we needed to do.Had a low profile of under 3 inchesCleaned and a zigzag patternHad LiDAR scanning and mapping capabilitiesAlexa compatibleGood suctionFairly quietTypically, we would’ve gone for the small base models as we don’t like the giant docking stations but this one seem to be in the middle having a docking station of about 11 inches wide 8 inches tall and 7 inches depth so that’s not too bad.This vacuum was very easy to set up and once you have the app installed, it walks you through the basic steps from creating your first generic map, which will scan your entire house for a basic map. Then when you run your first clean, it will fine-tune that map and clean the zigzag pattern.You can set up schedules and scenarios, and you can even change the type of suction and power consumption to meet your needs.Out of all three vacuums that I’ve had or tried in the last year this one seems to be the smartest with navigation around obstacles and ledges.So far, I am incredibly impressed and that I am glad I returned the other one and spent the money to get this one.The only downside that I see that, but not enough to affect our rating in my opinion is that you will need to replace the bag inside the base unit every 60 days or so depending on how fast it fills up. From what I can see online a bag from the Eufy brand is $20 a bag or you can buy offbrand for a fraction of that cost.Just hope you don’t need to correspond with their customer service. They will give you answers that are not even relevant to your question multiple times. Clearly, do not read the customer’s concerns before providing a generic system selected answer.Customer support is not supportive. I refuse to deal with them anymore.UPDATE:despite have the base 5 feet from modem, this unit is constantly going offline. The only way to fix this is to put in pairing mode manually and reinstall it to the app. At least when that is done it will connect to the map you already have.Also, having issues with network slow or down which defeats the purpose of a smart vacuum.
