RoboVac 30

This machine is amazing and I’m very Impressed with the quality of CLEAN that my S1 Pro provides. We have a 1,300 sq ft ranch style home with 60 percent upscale vinyl flooring, 35 percent carpet and 5 percent ceramic tile. The mopping feature produces wonderful results and end result is a very clean floor! The vacuum does the job and the whole system is very sanitary…Great Job eufy! No contact with the dirty water except when emptying the base tank with an easy pour down the toilet. Dust collection at the base station from the robot is all automated and it is super easy to change the bag on the base station. You can only use the proprietary eufy mopping solution on the S1 Pro and we are very pleased with the clean floor results. The odor is very minimal and disperses within of minutes of completion.So far have ran 10 complete cleanings and no issues whatsoever! Complete clean cycle takes about 90 minutes for maximum mopping and mid suction vacuuming. We have both a short hair shedder and a long hair non shedding dog and the S1 Pro picks up and cleans everything. This is a very intelligent piece of machinery that is suburb at obstacle avoidance, minimal bumping into complex obstacles, very good edge cleaning, impressive transitioning from carpet to hard flooring and has not gotten stuck yet…knock on wood!!The app is very easy to use and set up took less than 20 minutes. Just hit play when you are ready to clean and no need to keep the app open while cleaning is in progress. What we love most about the S1 Pro is the fact that we can do other things while the automated cleaning is in progress.As this being our first robot vacuum, we are both blown away by the high quality results that the S1 Pro produces and would highly recommend this machine without a doubt! Sorry that we can’t provide comparisons to other brands or other models, but as of now, our eufy is an important part of our Jetson Family!

I plugged it in. The light blinked orange for a couple hours, indicating that shewas charging, the light turned blue, indicating she was charged. I pushed the button for her to start cleaning. She beeped. The light blinked orange, indicating that she was charging (for an hour or so), the light turned blue, indicating she was charged. I used the remote to get her to start cleaning. She beeped. The light blinked orange, indicating that she was charging (for an hour or so), the light turned blue, indicating she was charged. I was getting nowhere.Eufy did not run . . . due to operator error. Operator error occurred because my vision is so poor from cataracts that I could not see the on/off button in the instructions, nor on the bottom of the unit. I did manage to feel around this morning until I found the toggle. Happy days! Eufy worked like a dream . . . quiet enough not to be disturbing and purring loudly enough that I was aware of where she was when I was in or near the room where she was working.I vacuumed the house a couple of days ago with my regular vacuum and dragged a damp microfiber mop over the floor. Then, for the test, I set Eufy loose. I have a long-haired cat . . . and my hair is long as well, so I thought I should probably check the dust bin after about 20 minutes since she'd been working under my bed, where the cat hangs out. (The cat is not sure if Eufy is acceptable or not, but at least she isn't tearing to the other end of the house like she does with the big vacuum.) The bin was FULL. This is not an indictment of the bin. The unit is small and fits very well under most of my furniture. So does my cat, who sheds a lot. So do I (I shed a lot . . .but, I don't fit under the furniture.)The brush was matted with cat hair and with strands of my hair. I removed the brush, cleaned it, and replaced it. By the time Eufy ran her full cycle and docked herself (I could tell she was REALLY tired), I had emptied the bin three times . . . and I know she's holding another full load. Cleaning the brush and emptying the bin emptying are intuitive and easy, and the handy cleaning brush really helps defuzz the roller brush. I figure it's going to take a few times of running her before I get all the cat hair under control. Then, I'll have to figure out how frequently I need to run her for maintenance mode.I will say that one of the reasons I got this unit is because I am a gardener. Every time I come in the house, I bring in dirt from the garden. I have rugs by the doors to catch some of it, but it invariably gets tracked through the house on the tile floors and, even worse, the bamboo floors. Sand and finished hardwood don't mix . . . I might have my floors sanded down to get refinished, but I don't need them sanded every day. Anyway, by the time I got through the house to the shower and got myself cleaned up, I had a major vacuuming job to do . . . but I was already exhausted from working in the yard. I can see it now. Walk in from the garden and push Eufy's start button as I head to the shower. YAY! I expect both my yard and my house will improve out of this one.As for the complaints about Eufy "skipping rooms," I found an easy fix on that one . . . or maybe a couple of easy fixes.I know certain areas of my house need deeper or more thorough cleaning than others. Today , I picked up everything on the floor in my daughter's room (chairs, waste basket, etc.), then put Eufy on the floor in the room, turned her on, shut the door, and set the stove timer for 20 minutes. Figured she would do a pretty thorough job on a "cleared" 10 by 13 room in 20 minutes. She did . . . after she had done my living room, sitting room, kitchen, breakfast nook, office and some of the family room. She's charging now. I'm going to "clear" the office and give her a second chance at that . . . and the same with the family room, blocking that off as well.Anyway, other than closed doors, I was thinking about cutting the stopper strips in various lengths and just placing these strips on the floor in doorways or at room transitions temporarily to force Eufy to focus on particular rooms or areas. (The family room itself will probably take a full half hour and it is more likely that Eufy will do a thorough job if I can clear some of the floor items to an adjacent room and if she doesn't have the option of wandering off to do my bedroom. (I did find I had to tuck in the bedskirts to get her to go under the bed. Guess she was afraid of the dark.) The strips are NOT something I want to stick to my bamboo floors . . . and are unsightly on my white tile, but I would think they would probably still work even if they weren't stuck down.I do have one safety concern. When Eufy is off "cleaning," what happens if my cat happens to lie down on the nice, warm charger? Or if my grandson is crawling on the floor and rolls a metal truck over the contacts or sits on it? I don't want to short the unit out testing to see if it's "live." It needs to be plugged in for Eufy to find her way "home," and I'm using the time that Eufy is vacuuming to attend to other chores (I'm not sitting and watching the charger) so are those two shiny, silver, child-attractive contacts a shock risk? Anyone have any knowledge on this?I suggested to the Eufy Company that they make the easy start instructions available on its website so that older customers, whose eyesight is failing, might be able to increase the image size to something readable. The lines on the drawings are delicate, making the details very hard to see for old eyes. Many of us can still see SOME, but many of us need letters and pictures larger and bolder than what came with the unit. Perhaps, the company could even make a large print guide available upon phone request for those who do not use computers.The elderly market, OMG! Our adult children are busy with careers and raising children, so they need this kind of help. Older people? Our joints don't like hauling around big vacuum cleaners. We don't get down on our hands and knees as easily as we used to--or at least we don't get up as well. We don't have the energy we used to have. And, many retirees that I know are busier now than when they were working--caring for grandchildren, helping their even-more-elderly parents, starting a second career, or putting a lot of time into volunteer work.So, I'm a happy camper. I didn't have to pull out the heavy vacuum today and by the end of the day, I will have made a BIG impact on "defuzzing" the house. I've got this in mind for 3 people as a Christmas present. I just hope Eufy has a long and healthy life. Moving a little furniture to help her out . . . not a problem.Go for it, Eufy!
