Likewise, setting no-go areas worked like a dream, so you don’t need to worry about it getting tangled up in cables or disturbing pet dishes. With the app breaking down the floorplan into rooms and areas, it’s no bother to send it off for a quick whizz around your home’s hardest working locations. It performed a full clean of 57m2 in 52 minutes, which is fast and efficient. I didn’t experience any problems with the RoboVac finding its way around my house or getting stuck, however. As a result, every time I’ve emptied the bin during testing I’ve needed to get the supplied brush and poke out significant amounts of fluff build-up. The Eufy doesn’t have this, and its strong suction drags fluff right in. Some robots, including the AEG RX9.2, have a layer over the top of the concertina paper filter to stop a certain amount of fluff embedding itself in the folds. The only slight annoyance here is the lack of a mesh over the filter. Naturally, you can also use the app to set up schedules, control the robot remotely, and configure it to work with Google Assistant and Alexa for voice control.Įmptying the robot is a simple matter of removing the bin from the back, opening the lid and tipping it out. A new map will be created and, as long as the clean isn’t interrupted, you can save it and set up rooms and no-go areas as before. To map a second area, such as a second storey of your home, just place the robot somewhere it won’t recognise and set it off. Handily, the app can store up to three maps. You can select a zone to clean by simply dragging a rectangle over the map, or drop a pin on the map to perform a 1.5m2. The map is built up on the first clean, after which you can choose to have the robot clean the entire area automatically, or you can clean individual rooms. Other robots with laser scanning can perform the same tricks but Eufy’s app feels more refined than most and does it particularly well. This means you can then go into the app, name the rooms it’s discovered, divide large spaces into sub-rooms, which is great for open plan areas, and guide the X8 to the particular areas that need cleaning at a particular time. However, it does build up an accurate picture of your walls and doorways, and saves them in the app. ![]() The Eufy Robovac X8 still bumbles around, using its bumper to knock into obstacles, and it’s nothing like as gentle on your furniture as the AEG RX9.2, which takes great care in avoiding objects. They created a rough map that showed you where the device had cleaned but it wasn’t detailed enough to let you mark out no-go areas or break your floorplan down into individual rooms for more sophisticated cleaning routines.
