Eufy RoboVac X8 review: When turbine action meets unavoidable collisions
When it comes to smart appliances, robot vacuums have managed to rise up and dominate. It’s not an unwanted invasion though, as nothing beats an automated cleaning assistant that hovers around your home, scooping up debris on a pre-determined schedule. The best robot vacs use advanced laser-scanning tech to build blueprints of your home, maps that the vac will reference when going about its cleaning route, and maps you can access in the vac’s companion app. Other features, like object-avoidance and voice assistant controls, are fairly standard these days, too. There’s no shortage of smart home brands touting “the best” robot vacs on the market, which can make the buying process a difficult one. Eufy, a sub-label of parent company Anker, is a prolific producer of some of today’s leading smart tech — from cameras to health monitors. Going up against the hordes of robot vac makers, Eufy’s all-new RoboVac X8 is hailed as one of the company’s premiere vacs. Is it worth the investment? We go...
Powerful suction; A solid companion app; Great battery life;
Messy vacuuming and glitchy performance; Poor object avoidance; Bulky design; On the pricey side;
