PROS:1) The short story: I love it. I'm shocked at what this picks up in my home every day. EVERY DAY. It's nearly a full compartment of dust/dog hair.. I'm honestly blown away.. where does it all come from? My house looks and feels so much cleaner now all the time with almost zero effort.2) MAPPING: I specifically waited to buy one that had an app and a mapping feature and wouldn't wander in circles aimlessly. It's satisfying to see it travel back and forth in neat lines and then see the map of the house and where it has cleaned, and to be able to control it remotely with the app.3) SUPPORT: Eufy support is responsive and helpful (support@eufylife.com, or use the live chat option) and the reps seem to genuinely care about the customer experience, which makes me feel more confident about continuing to have Eufy vacs in the future.. especially as long as the company stays competitive with it's features/price points.4) PRICE POINT: I read a lot of consumer reviews/lists of best reviewed vacuums since I first started thinking about getting one of these and Eufy came up on top a lot. And, their products are competitively priced in general. I did get a discount for being an early purchaser of this model, but I think the regular price is reasonable, and these things do go on sale frequently, and this one will too.CONS:1) MAPPING: It does not remember it's own map day to day, and starts over each time. It would be nice if you could save areas and direct it to certain rooms/etc. However, this is not a feature of this model (on an email with Eufy support I was told the L70 Hybrid model has a 'laser navigation system' with a radar that scans the room and saves a more accurate map.)2) GOING HOME TO RECHARGE: It has yet to return to it's base on it's own for me, since once I notice it revisiting the same area it has already cleaned I send it home. And, then.... it has a very hard time finding home if it's not in the same room.. I sometimes end up carrying it back to it's room to speed up the process. This is a bit annoying honestly.Neutral observations:1) TUMBLEWEEDS: in a 1000-sq-ft space with tiled flooring and a few rugs, at first I noticed it blowing a lot of doggie hair tumbleweeds around on the tile, but as it's gotten on a daily schedule it does a (really good) job keeping them at bay.2) OBSTACLES/RUGS: it does a fine job climbing on top of rugs, thresholds, etc. Though it doesn't have a problem with short/1 inch rug fringe, it will have a problem with longer (3") rug fridge, be aware (probably true with all robot vacs). There is also a nice suction setting: 'Boost IQ,' which will automatically adjust suction power in between hard flooring/carpet, etc.3) LONG HAIR: households with long haired-inhabitants need be aware hair will get wrapped around the roller brush piece and need removal. I suspect this is standard with robot vacuums, and Eufy includes a handy razor+comb tool to cut through the hair and it's not a big deal, but has to be done probably every couple uses/inspect when emptying the dust trap. If it's not kept up with it does have a harder time keeping rugs/carpeting clean, I notice.

Super easy to set up and schedule cleanings every day. Quiet and price was affordability, I thought, compared to other brands. We have a German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees mix who sheds ridiculously so I have it set every night to do it’s thing and I wake up every morning to beautiful, clean, furless hard wood floors!

This little robo vacuum is surprisedly wonderful. I was expecting to have to chase it around to clear it if obstacles and pick up after missed spots but so far after almost three weeks of it running each day I’ve only had to get it unstuck once. I thought for sure it would not be able to get around under our round dining room table and chair legs as the chairs even have lower stretcher pieces between the legs and nope she gets around them. The other thing I’m impressed with is how she negotiates around chair legs, pillars and any obstacle. I choose this model as it has the navigation so it basically goes back and forth and works from one side of the floor to the other using it’s mapping feature. Instead of the random bounce around mechanism. For suction power and cleanup is very good as well. I had vacuumed prior to first use as recommended and after she went out for the first pickup the dust bin was full. So she is finding stuff to clean. We have it just on one floor that is about 2000sqft and she can do it all on one dust bin I haven’t had to empty the dustbin midclean. She can’t do the whole floor on one battery charge so she heads home to recharge automatically before heading out again to finish where she left off (can turn this feature off if you don’t want it going back out to finish after recharging ). The app for your phone is great I think anyway. You can monitor where the robo is currently what it is doing how much charge, etc. you can also set schedules of course. There is a bypass to manual mode where you can direct it via the app if you want it to clean something more or clean something sooner then when you set it back to auto mode it goes back to where it left off and finishes. It is very quiet too even on max suction much much less than a regular vacuum and very easy to have it running while you are home without having to increase your voice level or turn up the volume on your tv. I find the boostIQ mode the best, where it runs on standard suction on hard floors then kicks into turbo suction (max is the highest) when going onto carpet areas. If it is in another room cleaning you can’t even hear it. So if it does have trouble or needs to head back home her voice can be set to different volume levels and it sends you a message on your phone also.Now like I mentioned I have only been using it for almost three weeks so we’ll see and I will update if I notice any problems. But so far quite happy.I should also mention that our floors are all hardwood with a few area rugs and tile baths. We also do have a dog with short hair that constantly sheds (main reason for this robo so I don’t have to vacuum constantly).

We run this little guy every other day and it is amazing the amount of pet hair and dust it picks up from our hardwood floors. It has learned the layout of the house and does a great job bridging between thorough vacuuming.

I honestly didn’t have very high expectations for the price point. Now I just got it and it’s only done 1 clean but I am impressed! I have two Pomeranians and I use my Dyson animal vacuum which I love, however I my house needs to be vacuumed pretty much every day and I’m unable to keep up with that. So I really just wanted this for in between my thorough vacuums with the Dyson so I don’t have tumbleweeds of dog hair floating through my house every day. This definitely exceeded my expectations with how much it picked up and lasted a little over 90 mins on a full charge. Only one area it got stuck but that was easy enough to fix, and it was pretty thorough getting all areas.

Had an Eufy for several years at my past home. Bought new home and decided to get one of those high end $650 ones. Nothing but problems, it had a loud annoying voice you couldn’t turn down. The unit was loud and it would stop running for no reason.I went back to this Eufy. It’s fantastic! I don’t know how it keeps finding dirt everyday. It’s smooth, quiet and always finds it base. My floors are so much cleaner. Won’t go back to another brand.

So far, I am totally impressed! I have two cats with a cat box upstairs in a spare bathroom with linoleum. The bathroom leads out to a carpeted hall, several carpeted rooms, and a staircase. My cats have started tracking the cat litter out of the bathroom and out into the carpeted area. I was having to manually vacuum the upstairs everyday to keep the litter from spreading. If I wasn't home to vacuum the litter would spread down the stairs. I was getting desperate. I had never thought a robovac could be effect at cleaning but boy was I wrong.I took a chance and bought the Eufy G30 because it uses an intelligent pattern to map and vacuum. I guess the cheaper ones just use random patterns. There are far more expensive units that have far more capability but I watched a youtube review of the G30 and it looked pretty solid for the price.I set the unit up, linking to my phone over my network and told it to get to work.It mapped out the rooms, found the staircase without falling down it, and it cleaned the bathroom right up to the cat box. I would say that on the first pass it picked up over 95% of the cat litter. I could still see and feel a few pieces here and there.After its first run, I checked the debris/filter box and I could not believe all of the cat hair and litter it had picked up. The box was full. I cleaned the box and ran the bot again. This time I set the bot to max clean from the phone app. When I came back the area was pristine with fresh carpet vacuum marks. AMAZING!!!I now have the bot set to vacuum everyday using the app scheduler on my phone. Everyday I walk up to its area and I am so happy to see everything so clean. No more cat litter!I dump the filter ever other day and am amazed at the amount of debri it is picking up. I also have to clean the carper brush as it is still picking up quite a bit of cat hair which is sticking on the brush.Now that I have this unit, I would like to buy another unit for my downstairs, but I am thinking of buying one of Eufy's more advanced units.If you have never had a robovac before and were unsure of them, let me tell you this G30 is the perfect first robovac. It rocks!!!!!!!

Had an 11S. this G30 has a map and does not repeat the location. What I do is once its done, i make run one more time and its perfect. Would definitely buy from EUFY again.

I got the Eufy G30 after going back and forth for a long time on whether a robovac would be worth it. I don't know why I waited so long. This thing is awesome. The first time I used it, I followed it around like a cat watching its every move. I was amazed at the places it fit into - under the couch, under the bathroom vanity... it came out looking like it had been bushwhacking through the jungle, all covered in spider webs and dust! If there was a spot it seemed to miss, without fail it would return and clean it up. It follows a back-and-forth pattern in the room, and after it's covered the entire house, it sweeps around the perimeter one last time before returning to its base.PROS:-It picks up cat litter and pet hair very well!-Great at getting under furniture and in nooks and crannies that would otherwise go unvacuumed.-Returns itself to its base when finished, or if it needs to charge before finishing.-The app lets you see where it's been, and you can schedule cleanings. It also alerts you if it gets stuck.-It's not too loud. Barely hear it when in another room.-Cleans really well! I have it on the lowest suction and I'm happy with that. It's amazing how much dust it picks up. There are higher suction settings if needed.-Favorite Thing: I keep my house cleaner now. Before turning on the Eufy, I go around and tuck in any loose cords and pick up various things from the floor. It takes 2 minutes and means the Eufy can get everywhere, AND I have a less-cluttered house. Win/win.CONS:-It will occasionally wedge itself under a piece of furniture if it approaches it from a certain angle, and gets stuck. It doesn't happen every time and I've learned to block off a couple of spots. After you rescue it, it picks up where it left off.-It doesn't like shag rugs.OVERALL:I'm so glad I finally got this robovac. I researched a lot of different brands and models, and I think the G30 is a great choice if you want one that's not super expensive but still does a fantastic job. Very pleased with it!

Have only used this one time so far but it worked great. Thought that it had missed several areas but only to find that it goes back and gets spots that it had missed on first passes. Very impressed with how well it works. Unit never got caught going under couch and other furniture. Had another brand RoboVac that was a piece of junk so was impresses with how well this one works.
