1. Eufy RoboVac ElevenS

The Eufy RoboVac 11S is a budget robot vacuum that comes with a variety of great pet hair-busting features. It is quiet, has a large dirt compartment, battery and can clean itself automatically for up to two minutes in spot cleaning mode. It also has BoostIQ which automatically switches between 'Standard Power' and 'Maximum Suction' to ensure the best performance for each flooring type.

It does not map rooms as Roomba does however it does have a reactive obstacle avoidance and drop-sensors that stop it from crashing into other objects (like cats or dogs) or slipping down a flight of stairs. It can also stop and resume cleaning while it takes in debris and then moves it to the charging base. It also has an automatic self-emptying feature and an extremely small dust bin so you don't have to see or touch what it is sucking up.

When we tested the 11S it did well on floors that were unfinished and a carpet that was medium with cat hair. It did not perform similarly on carpets with high piles and had a harder time when dealing with heavier debris such as kitty-litter and cereal. However, it performed better than the majority of its competition. It also was able to climb over low-lying obstructions, like cords, effortlessly and did a fantastic job of keeping pet hair off the brushes and wheels.

One thing we did notice is that it wasn't doing as well in dealing with hair from dogs as the other models we tried, but the amount of hair was significantly smaller than we've seen in other tests. The 11S has its limitations too including not being able schedule and having a small range of voice commands. However they're not major concerns.

We suggest that you take a look at other robot vacuums that come with more Roborock S7 Max Ultra: Advanced Robot Vacuum Cleaner features. For example the iRobot Roomba 960 is better-built, easier to maintain, has a bigger dirt compartment and a faster recharge time, as well as smart pathing and better performance on all surface types than the eufy. The iRobot also removes more pet hair and comes with an extensive set of features that can help you with your home automation needs.

Its obstacle avoidance capability could be improved. The T10 Omni is prone to crashing into furniture and baseboards of cabinets that are loose and getting stuck in tight corners. It also slams into furniture to find its way out of rooms, which can damage surfaces and furniture. The T10 is a bit random when it comes to pathing as well. It can't see things like cords and socks and so it gets into them.

Fortunately, the new T10+ has upgraded its navigation system and dropped the camera on previous models. Ecovacs has instead decided to use lasers and a structured light to aid in navigating around objects. This is a smart decision because it allows the T10 to avoid obstacles and furniture more efficiently.

In addition to that, the T10+ comes with an automatic dust bin that is self-emptying and dock that automatically cleans and dry mopping pads to avoid bacteria from accumulating. It also comes with suction of 8,000Pa and is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

For instance, some have the ability to create a custom cleaning schedule and choose which rooms to clean.
