The only issue with this robot is that it does not include an integrated dust collector/charging dock as many of its competitors. You will have to empty the trash bin manually as required. However, this isn't really a big deal, as other budget-friendly robots like the Yeedi Vac 2 do the same thing for a much cheaper price.

Setup of this robot using the Eufy Home app is a breeze although it can take a couple of minutes to get it running. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

It's a bit worse on carpeted floors than the iRobot Roomba i4, but it performs better on carpets with a low pile and pet hair.

However its user-friendly interface comes with many of the same features, like a detailed home map and the option to set specific cleaning times and virtual barriers.

It even has the ability to automatically empty its internal dustbin into a dirt container on the dock for charging. This will reduce the requirement for manual maintenance.
