The Eufy G40+ seems to do everything that the Roomba does, though I don't know if the app is as good?

This isn’t the fanciest robot vacuum we tested, so if you want one that has voice control, a self-emptying system or programmed no-go zones, scroll on.You can set the number of times for RoboVac to clean before it auto-empties: after 1 clean, after 2 cleans, or after 3 cleans. Auto-empty Base: Arguably one of its most convenient features, the auto-empty base eliminates the manual task of emptying the dustbin, saving time and reducing mess. I’d recommend this to people who wants a good robot vacuum but does not need the fancy bells and whistles like house mapping and off limits zones. I'm looking at getting a robot vacuum and am looking for opinions on the Eufy range (cheap alternative ideas also welcome).

If you're looking for an auto-emptying option that doesn't hit the wallet quite as hard, look no further than the eufy Clean G40 Hybrid+. Innovative items like robot vacuum cleaners and wine coolers are among her favourite tests to date, and her most notable accomplishment is toasting 360 slices of bread in a determined bid to find the best toaster.However, for cleaning prowess, it couldn’t be beaten; it scored full marks for its quick and efficient dust pick-up on all surfaces and for excellent pet hair removal. It does not do mapping or off limits zones like the more expensive models but it does show you the areas that have been cleaned. Li-ion Battery: A durable battery ensuring extended and consistent performance throughout its lifespan. Not all navigation systems are made equal, however, so we'll delve into those specifics in depth below. However, with a 200-milliliter capacity, the water tank on the L35 Hybrid+ isn't quite as large as the RoboVac X8 Hybrid — nor is its runtime quite as long, for that matter — but it makes up for those relatively minor deficits with the convenience of its auto-empty station.

But, generally speaking, your eufy RoboVac of choice will be equipped with a series of sensors to prevent it from bumping into walls and furniture, and from falling down any nearby stairs. The Eufy Clean G40, as well as other robots from the Eufy G-Series, uses an inertial navigation system based on a gyroscope and accelerometer sensors. A measure of how well the device and its service provider protect your data with respect to authentication, encryption, software updates, response to known vulnerabilities, etc.It’s not compatible with boundary strips, so it’s best to set it off when you’re in to monitor its path. Even though it is just dragging a wet cloth and can’t remove stubborn stains, it’s still a great addition if you have hard floors.
