eufy by Anker, RoboVac G30 Edge, Robot Vacuum with Dynamic Navigation 2.0, 2000 Pa Suction, Wi-Fi, Boundary Strips, for Carpets and Hard Floors, Ideal for Pet Owners

I love my Eufy. I originally bought the 11-S but returned it to buy the 30 Edge because I realized that I needed the magnetic strips to keep it out of areas I didn't want it to go.The extra cost is well worth it. I also like being able to start it from anywhere with the app.Pros:I have all hardwood floors and It does a terrific job. It very rarely leaves anything behind.The suction is sufficient for whatever it runs into. I keep it set on Boost IQ or Turbo because I have a two-bedroom condo so the higher power really won't drain the battery to empty before it's done.The Boost IQ is the ideal setting, I think, because it conserves battery but still boosts the power if it runs into a heavy cleaning job.The app works well and is easy to use. I would prefer for the manual steering controls to be on the main page instead of in the settings menu.It is really good at working its way out of tight places. My refrigerator door is a couple centimeters higher than Eufy. But it still gets in there. Sometimes it sounds like it will get stuck but it always works its way out.The Eufy comes with more than enough magnetic strips. I use less than half of them.Cons:My wife has long hair and a lot of it ends up on the bathroom floor. Eufy cleans it all up but it can get wrapped around the cleaning brush and wheels. However that does not seem to interfere with its function. Included with the Eufy is a cleaning tool that does a great job of getting it out.This is not a con but rather a tip. I wear a pair of rubber gloves to empty the dust collector and clean the brushes.Also, I cut a thin piece of wood trim to the width of my hallway, then I attached the magnetic strips to it. So when I want to keep my Eufy out of an area I just reach in the closet and plop down the magnetic trim rather than unroll the magnetic strips every time. The magnetic trim has a sticky side to adhere to the floor. But I figured the adhesive would lose its stickiness after several times of sticking and unsticking it to the floors.

This is my second robot vacuum. The first one lasted about 3 years. (Different brand). When I received this vacuum and realized it only had one brush on the front I was a little concerned. But that is not an issue. It is amazing. I love how it will go back and forth in a uniform pattern. It does not map the room but it definitely covers more area than my previous vacuum which cleaned in a random pattern. It will bump into the baseboards sometimes but it is a gentle bump. (Unlike my previous vacuum). It was easy to set up with my Alexa and the app. It is convenient to tell Alexa to start the vacuum or start it by using the app. The app has a lot of information on it too, like area cleaned, history of cleaning, adjust suction power and other info. If it get stuck it will let you know by saying “wheel is stuck”.I like the magnetic strips to put down to avoid a room which is convenient because my child always leaves things on the floor.We use it multiple times a day and are amazed at what it picks up. We have mostly hard wood floors with an area rug and 2 rooms have carpet. We have a dog and you don’t realize how much a basset hound sheds until you empty the bin.

First the pros: We have roughly 1600sq ft downstairs of which this vacuum was able to identify 1200sq ft and clean it accurately before the battery ran out. The mapping feature is GREAT and I was very impressed with how well the G30 navigated all of our furniture and what I thought were impassible spaces. I thought for sure the vacuum wouldn't navigate between kitchen chairs and under the very tight spaces of our couches and ottoman, but it handled it with ease. When the vacuum did get pinched, it found its way out and I didn't have to intervene. I am very impressed how far these have come since the first days of the iRobot models.The vacuum sneaks into areas and grabs dust bunnies, hair and particles that your average upright vacuum will miss. It's no joke. It's almost works too well, to the point the bin will fill up quickly if you're not careful. I note this below under the cons.For hardwoods, this vacuum works very efficient and effectively. There are some carpet runners and mats that got caught up in the rotors but it still managed to get free and recover that section of flooring. I rarely noticed the vacuum covering the same section of flooring twice, so trust in the vacuum even if you believe it hasn't covered a section of house, that it WILL return to map the walls. The updated navigation algorithms are excellent.The Cons: We have a couple of pets and they shed constantly. This was our main motivation for getting a robovac. Before the first run through our house, we did a cursory sweep of the big areas of our house. Even with the larger dust bin, I had to empty the container after ~600sq ft and it was full. I wish this model would notify you when the bin was full via an optical sensor or something. The good news is the bin what chucked full of hair and loose debris that I missed, but know that the bin will fill up quickly within several hundred sq ft.The best thing is to keep the vacuum on a regular schedule to minimize how full the bin will get between cleanings, especially if you have pets. Although the battery will cover roughly 1200 sq ft without stopping, the battery takes several hours between charges. I think that's normal, but it took me off guard and it prevents you from running the vacuum again immediately following a full cleaning.Rugs, cords and mats will get caught up in the wheels if they're not heavy or are not taped down. Bath rugs, toilet skirts, kitchen mats and other small rugs will fold up under the vacuum. I'd recommend getting some double-sided rug tape from Home Depot/Lowes before running the vacuum. Either that, or identify which rugs were re-located by the vacuum after the first run and act accordingly. You won't need to intervene when it folds up a rug, but you will need to reset the rug once the Eufy completes its run.This might not be a con, but it completed our 1200sq ft downstairs in roughly 2.5 hours before the battery ran out and it still had a couple of areas left to complete, so prepare accordingly. After the battery recharges, (roughly 3.5 hours later) it resumes where it left on the original map to complete the house. The vacuum is VERY thorough, but this takes time to complete.Overall, this is a great little vacuum and the included boundary strips are handy. We have an elevated bed with soft textiles stored underneath, so the included footage was just enough to outline our king sized bed. We didn't want to risk the vacuum tearing up or getting stuck on the items under the bed. I debated getting the regular G30 but I'd recommend the Edge simply for the magnetic strips. They are handy and you'll never know when you need them or identify an area off-limits for the vacuum.
