[@Haze140]

Please review the Dyson Big+Quiet it’s super expensive compared to there other air purifiers and want to no if it’s worth it!

[@MingZai]

hope to see u do a review on the new Dreamebot L20 Ultra..it has optional kits for auto water refill and dirty water discharge! getting closer to fully hands free vacuum bots!

[@PurgatoryPriest]

Can't wait for your review of the new X10 Pro Omni. Addresses the cons you listed. Eufy must certainly value your great reviews to help their R&D. 👍🏾

[@VacuumWars]

Our review of the Eufy X10 Pro Omni comes out today at 4 EST.

[@friend088]

It takes me less than a minute to empty the bin from my Eufy Clean X9 Pro. I am totally fine with that considering I hate mopping so much. I love this robot!

[@insidethemind434]

Does it completely clean up dried mucks? What do you rate its mopping system from 0 to 10?

[@zainabali799]

You have no idea how much I hate mopping

[@insidethemind434]

Why? X9 pro isn't good in mopping?@@zainabali799

[@robsolf]

Same here. I wanted a mop that can vacuum, while I suppose some want a vacuum that can mop. I guess it depends on what your priorities are.

[@idlevalley]

I like the way you're supportively critical. Like, you don't just say that it's bad, you offer solutions.

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!

[@brandonnoll108]

I bought both a dreamtech l10s ultra and this eufy x9 pro for well under market value and within $10 of each other. After a couple of weeks of testing, I returned the dreamtech. While yes, it doesn't auto empty the bin, with these mops they aren't like the dedicated vacuum only machines that you could go a whole month without paying attention to. Either way, the water tanks must be changed pretty frequently, so I just empty the bin during that step. The navigation is what won it for me. The dreametech always seemed to find something to run over and i'd get the "mop pad disconnected" message while I was away from home when I was hoping to come home to clean floors. I use these mops in a cell phone repair store, so I have lots of random cables and obstacles... But so do most people with kids, pets, etc.. The Eufy has not once gotten stuck except when i had it go into a room with a high threshold that it couldn't climb back over. It has yet to find a single cable or obstacle to stop it.

[@brandonnoll108]

I am using it at my cell phone repair store currently. I have a decent amount of traffic in the lobby, dirty shoes and such but not really any spills. It has kept my store looking much better. I think its a great mop. I'd say a 10 compared to others i've used@@insidethemind434

[@scottd1432]

I was seriously considering this as an alternative to the Q revo earlier this year. I didn't even check closely that it had a self empty bin, thought that was a given. I could not believe it when I realized! Such a silly omission. Between that and the higher price than the Q revo on prime day, the choice was obvious.

[@GameKollector]

I have the Q Revo and no complaints from me. It’s amazing! Shocking this vacuum doesn’t have an auto empty bin…that’s a Fail on Eufy’s part.

[@axion8788]

Typical of your reviews; informed insightful, honest and useful. Kudos!

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks so much!

[@nathangebben5738]

I was blown away when you said this vacuum doesn’t have an auto empty bin! Anothing thing I noticed is it seemed that front 360 wheel is kinda tiny. I know my S7 Max V front wheel takes a beating going over thresholds. Wonder how that tiny ones going to hold up, in the long run.

[@dlflyboy]

I've had the X9 Pro since it was released in the states. The first unit was replaced hassle free by Eufy because it would periodically turn itself off and on. The replacement unit has been working flawlessly so far. It's just myself and my cat, so it not having an automatic dust bin emptier is fine with me. I have a Roomba J7+ and Bravva M6 upstairs and I hate hearing that thing auto empty. It's sooooo loud. More so than the model below it, which I also have. I've opened and used Roombas since they were first introduced and this X9 Pro navigates way better than the Roombas (even the J7+). It doesn't go around bumping my baseboards and marking them like the Roomba will. I'm thinking of getting another for the upstairs and for my mom (who is 73 now). She has my other J7+ that I replaced with the X9 Pro. Definitely recommend this one.

[@insidethemind434]

Does it completely clean up dried mucks? What do you rate its mopping system from 0 to 10?

[@MikiCab1]

Not having an auto empty bin is a deal killer for me. Bought the Q Revo so I am out of the market for about 4 years.

[@ryufrank]

Thanks for the info. Great review! I was about to pull the trigger for getting one, but now the Q Revo sounds like the obvious choice for me. If only Roborock's availability was as straight forward as the Eufy one. I cannot find many shops willing to send Roborocks to my location (Europe, Cyprus)

[@Khutch18]

What a bummer that it doesn't empty the bin. Absolutely a miss. Could have dominated this price point.

[@johnbod]

My thoughts exactly. Missing larger debris is bad but my guess is that it’ll eventually get everything if you’re running this multiple times a week which is good enough. No auto-empty bin though? Complete deal breaker. Such a shame especially considering that amazing obstacle avoidance.

[@ChrisCoelho]

Yup and it seems like such an easy thing when the mopping stuff is harder to accomplish. They were sooooo close!

[@juliointeriano8758]

I've had this since July and works out that I have to empty the bin at the same time that I change the water tanks so it's not a huge inconvenience

[@waqasahmed939]

Yeah. I was dead tempted to get this as an additional vacuum in rooms where I have to physically move my current roborock The lack of auto emptying is a massive deal breaker

[@waqasahmed939]

@@juliointeriano8758 Perhaps but I think when it's close to £1K that should be standard

[@vbart1776]

Dear vacuum wars. I would like to discuss the elephant in the room on robot mops. I have the Eufy 10s ultra and there is a flaw in the entire mopping robot concept. The all mops run a pad or pads over tile and then take it back to be cleaned. These robots "scrub" the top of the tile but leave a dirty water film in the grout which is lower than the tile just like a sponge mop. So, with your new robot mop, you mop daily, or every other day and so the grout gets much dirtier quickly that just vacuuming the dirt away and moping infrequently. I would like you develop a test with light colored tile and light grout for the robot mops to check this out. I will be happy to help if you wish.

[@rahulrathan]

fanstastic point, thanks for bringing this up, @VacuumWars please take note of this.

[@Mourad1EL]

A robot vacuum with this price tag is not meant to do a "decent" job, it's mean to do the job. Also looks like eufy is trying to catch up but still way behind, wth would they release a robot vacuum without the most basic function wich is auto emptying dust bin? Excellent review btw 👌

[@magneticisland6605]

Thx for review. Just bought the x9. Brilliant. Hes just finished mapping. Thought my hard floors were clean... water was sludgy black, had to return to station 4 times for mop cleaning. I have 2 rooms with carpets and the dust bin was full. Im either a bad floor cleaner or what i been using is insufficent. I was using a dyson v6. Mapping great Collision avoidance great Low noise... had to keep checking where he was at Mop lift great The dust auto empty an issue for many. But i prefer to see the level of dust collected..so i know its doing its job.

[@insidethemind434]

Does it completely clean up dried mucks? What score do you give to its mopping system from 0 to 10?

[@cistym]

Of all the robot vacuum brands, Eufy is that last brand I would trust to go all around my house with a camera. If they couldn't be responsible with security camera footage, I definitely don't trust them with this data!

[@keco185]

Any vacuum with a camera should dock with the camera facing into the dock so you can be sure it's not looking at you when not in use

[@YusufShurbaji]

Fair point but considering every alternative has similar vulnerabilities but also a subscription, I appreciate they at least try. Even if the thumbnail ordeal was a huge oversight.

[@dnsv08]

That issue was fixed Dec 2022 and if you read how the video "was not encrypted" it's if the user chose to share videos thru an option debug mode which enabled that. Which I don't agree that should be an option at all, but to my point the videos were encrypted to begin with.

[@peterrose5746]

Very good video. I would imagine the X10 will come with self emptying bin and hot water mopping? I wonder what the reason was for excluding it on the X9?

[@Diego-1]

A breakthrough in obstacle avoidance sector! but Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra could be even better

[@BiggMo]

Wish you evaluated clearance limitations of its sensors… my Roborock won’t clean under my couch, even though there’s over an inch of extra room.

[@pachocharoenzo3678]

I don't mind that it doesn't have self empty system. What I don't like is that I have to move the robot out from its station to remove the dust bin.

[@Lexslayerpride]

I would like you start measuring how high the actual lift distance is, I am doubting if some of these are actually what they say they are.

[@youdontneedmyrealname]

Privacy concerns with the company's past products. Their security camera systems have MAJOR mass surveillance issues. The only robot vaccum of the future is one that works offline completely.

[@brainthesizeofplanet]

Yep, however I doubt that'll ever happen - however one doesn't have to buy one of the brands just created to spy out homes...

[@Bass.Player]

I run my security cameras through the router with no access to the internet, I don't see why you can't do the same with these robot vacs?

[@youdontneedmyrealname]

@brainthesizeofplanet True that other vaccums exist but the object recognition and home mapping can already be done offline with custom firmware for some other brands. What needs to be done is have a shift to offline options as a first-party design philosophy. Sadly, as you mentioned, it probably won't happen soon, if at all.

[@youdontneedmyrealname]

@@Bass.Player Some companies don't provide full functionality if not given internet access. I have higher concerns with Eufy as a company after the most recent security and privacy problems.

[@MandrakeRoomba]

@@youdontneedmyrealnameIt can be. Mapping robot vacuums have been around for years, the only exception being maps can’t be saved, they keep it on their memory if they have charge and resume. The obstacle avoidance camera needs connection though, because there is a database of objects that it pulls info from. Without connection, it is probably like an ir sensor.

[@vmag580]

How does it compare to the j7 combo?

[@kloparen7376]

How big is the dust bin, do you have to empty it every time, or?

[@rockybukus]

Yet another superb review by the King of robot vacuums.

[@VacuumWars]

Wow, thanks!

[@owenparker3559]

Omg I love this AI voice by far the best voice yet!

[@STO7750]

I'm using an eufy x8 and they are having a know battery issues with some serial numbers. I only was able to get 7 month of minimal use out of the x8 before the battery fizzled. I'm definitely going to research parts availability for any future robot purchases...and from what I'm encountering limited parts availability for many other robots and haven't seen very much information for longer term use or service/repair data. From my experience with the eufy x8 I'll pass on this brand for the next replacement.

[@ReefMimic]

Manual emptying the dust bin would be a deal breaker for me

[@gokhankozan84]

Hi, I'm torn between eufy x9 pro, lydsto w2 and dreame l10s. Can you help me decide?

[@gauravkapadia17]

Hi mate, Thanks for the review. My X9 pro leaves an inch of gap on the floor while mopping even though the mops are touching to each other. Is it normal or is it a manufacturing defect of some sort, maybe not enough downward pressure.

[@tchallasqueen4861]

I have it and love it! I agree with what cld be better but this is so good. Just wish I cld put solutions in with the water.

[@insidethemind434]

Does it effectively clean up dried mucks? How would you rate its mopping system on a scale of 0 to 10?

[@zainabali799]

This is exactly what I want but only thing is stopping me that the camera privacy??

[@RalphJodie]

I have had iRobot robots previously. I am trying to decide whether to buy the a revo or wait for a new iRobot ( especially after this review). How long do you think I would need to wait?

[@VacuumWars]

We don't have any inside info from the manufacturers, so we really couldn't say.

[@nick34377]

Ya but the qrevo pads are thinner and the eufys is thicker so the mm height raise really is the same

[@omgeeezzy]

Got this a few days ago and it will not charge. Checked power to the station, restarted, reset the unit, and it’s still not charging. Customer service sucks saying someone will contact in 24 hours and still have not received a call. Not the customer service department is off work for a while. Planning on requesting a return. This has been a nightmare experience. Highly NOT recommended.

[@alexleon8406]

It would be nice to see a review of the Eufy X8 Pro.

[@kylek29]

Such odd design choices -- front roller, but still narrow. Bin system, but it doesn't do dirt. A lot of the components look like the same OEM that EcoVac uses.

[@larshcdk]

Is your conclusion of recommending the Roborock Q Revo likely to change when the Eufy X10 omni is released? as far as I can tell, the X10 will have auto dustbin emptying which seems to be your main concern with the X9?

[@VacuumWars]

We are actually looking at the X10 this week and should have some conclusions soon.

[@VacuumWars]

Our review of the Eufy X10 Pro Omni comes out today at 4 EST.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

I can't believe it doesn't auto-empty the vacuum dirt!!! OMG! Perhaps if I had no dogs and no carpeting AT ALL, I'd consider it... But otherwise, No Sale!

The lack of a self emptying dustbin must have been deliberately left off in favour for a future X10 model in my opinion

Failed to mention that the major privacy concerns about cameras was caused by eufy keeping camera footage that was publicly accessible

[@TemplePate01]

I just wish they could do something about the roborocks obstacle avoidance... I have animals and dont need my vacuum causing mayhem...

[@carpii]

seems kinda sillly that its a mopping robot, so obviously intended for hard floors, yet does such a poor job of picking up debris. What it is designed for exactly? I'm in the market for a mopping robot, but it would need to pick up stray bits of cat litter in one room, so this is a deal breaker for me

[@ghardt91]

Self empty bin is not a dealbreaker for me I will take everything else about this vacuum.

[@sbomorse]

It’s ludicrous they don’t have auto empty!

[@cheapo911]

I must be in the minority then, because Im totally fine with not having an auto empty bin. I dont want to deal with disposable bags (if they had a reusable container instead of a bag, then Id be interested in that). And with my Roborock S5 Max, I like knowing what it picked up and didnt by manually emptying the bin. Granted from a dust perspective (dumping it in the garbage), not ideal. But I dont have pets or kids, and do have plenty of other life habits that will cause harm before dust from a robot vacuum will lol.

[@aurelie6952]

No BAG = Less cost = HAPPY

[@Millz35T]

To be fair, it is mainely marketed as a robot mop

[@n00bma5ter69]

I would really appreciate more in depth reviews of the app for these vacuums. It's a huge downside if executed poorly and I couldn't care a less about suction power. I want to know that it like map my house correctly (not just yours), has a history of regular updates and reviews on the app store that speak positively about it

[@Theloverboy2987]

I don’t agree with this review , I think the eufy is the best choice to buy.

[@ApacheSquirrel]

Until self emptying robovacs stop using the bag system, I think this is the right choice.

[@jonathankelly5997]

Why don't you publish the actual details of the dirt pickup issue? You say you measure everything, so why not quantify it. Call me sceptical, but it couldn't be because you can't have a affliate link for the X9: it's not for sale on Amazon... :|

[@djenson]

Eufy/Anker has really bad past reputation's with camera systems (allowing unencrypted access to the open internet) and sending facial recognition data to anker/eufy. I would not buy this vacuum on that alone, especially with the company's diabolical response to the matter

[@vigour6786]

Not surprising but he still hasn't mentioned anything about Eufy being caught lying about their privacy of consumer data. Eufy is either paying him off or he doesn't care enough to mention it. I'd strongly suggest to not buy any Eufy products.
