The Eufy RoboVac X8 Pro SES cleans my floors with high suction power. I can easily set exactly where and when he drives via the app. I find the mopping function less powerful.
Installation
I download the Eufy app via my smartphone and set up the robot vacuum cleaner for the first time. I am guided through the app with text and images. So no trouble. I easily place the compact base station, because it does not take up too much space. The robot then drives its first lap through my house. He explores every room and every corner. The robot makes a map of this. I can immediately view this in the app.
Cleaning preferences
Using the map, I choose which rooms the robot cleans at what time. The map is very precise, so I can easily set where it is going. I also immediately choose where the robot is not allowed to go. For example, I let him skip my office, so that I am not disturbed during my work. Because I see in the app where the robot has been, I know exactly where the house is clean.
Suction power
I am impressed with the suction power of the RoboVac X8 Pro SES. I see that the floor is really clean after the robot has visited. It also sucks up some larger dirt, such as wood chips that were on the ground, without any problem. When the robot drives onto my carpet, it automatically increases the suction power. It also sucks the crumbs right out of my carpet. It also recognizes objects on the floor, which it accurately drives around. He really does his best not to miss a spot. Sometimes this results in, for example, him dragging my shoe a bit.
Automatic emptying station
I find the emptying station very useful. This way I don't empty the dust container in the robot myself every time. This makes the robot even more independent. A handy extra is that the robot also cleans its brush in the emptying station. This way I don't remove the stuck hairs from the brush myself.
Mopping function
The mop function is a nice extra. I do notice that, like many robot vacuum cleaners, it does not remove stubborn dirt from the floor. The water reservoir is also a bit small, so I often refill it myself. So I think this robot vacuum cleaner is more suitable for vacuuming jobs. For a robot that also mops, I would rather choose the Eufy X9 Pro, with rotating mopping brushes.
