chris here with eufy's robo vac x8 it's similar to the x8 hybrid although this model here doesn't
have the mopping feature but it has a larger dustbin it does have the same technology so
dual cyclone motors in this so they're two twin turbine motors both of them produce 2000 pa and
according to yuffie the suction performance the airflow that is it's going through is now
80 percent better than say just a single motor they do claim that it can lift up fine pit here
57.6 percent better at that it has their ipad laser navigation so that is using real-time
mapping it's lighter that it has this little tower at the top of the vacuum and then the dustbin
capacity that's 600 milliliters and it does have their ultra dust compression tech here which
yuffie claims means that you'll be able to fit in the same space there about a hundred and twenty
seven percent more dust because it's compressing it down the run time of this robot vacuum is two
and a half hours and the full disclosure here that this is a sponsored video from me and looking at
what we get in the box with the robovac x8 there is some paperwork here that's located
in this little box at the top and that just goes over the use of it warranty quick start guide
it's all in here so there's quite a bit there owner's manual and there's the limited warranty in
our vacuum and the charging dock so that charging dock the charge time of the vacuum is four to five
hours and you'll see that we do have our power supply here so that's an eu one of course because
i'm in europe and we do get a spare additional side brush and then this right here is to organize
the wires there so it's a cable tie and they do include a spare washable filter which is great
charging dock has the two contacts right there that it connects up to to charge
we've got a status led at the top and this is infrared that it uses to get up close to that
charging dock now they do have a little bit of cable management on the underside which
is really good so it plugs in right here to charge it for the power but you can wrap the
cable around that and have the lead go out either this side or this side which is quite convenient
up the top here we have a blue and red stripe i like the color of this black and then this carbon
fiber style look to it of course it doesn't have carbon fiber in it and we've got three
buttons here at the top we've got a spot clean button the power on and off and that's also to
auto clean if you hit that and return to charge button to go back to the dock we have a wireless
status indicator right here and then this little tower at the top that's got the laser in it that
spins around so it's lidar navigation now they call it their ipath laser navigation so that
is real-time map building that it does and it's a systematic path that it follows to clean just like
other lidar vacuums so if the vacuum didn't have this it would be the old style ones that just ping
pong off everything and they just take forever to clean but no that's got intelligent planning and
the laser navigation with the maps and everything that i'll show you later on with the app
the underside of the vacuum very similar to just about any other robot vacuum
but we do have a floating rolling brush here that means it's suspended
moves up and down to adjust to different levels much better than a fixed roller so if this was
a fixed brush they don't tend to adapt as well to the different heights in carpet for example
to clean this brush very easy it simply just lifts out here and then you can pull out the whole brush
for easy cleaning they've got the tool as well for it that you can use to remove any hair that
will eventually end up getting stuck around that brush so the maximum output of this because it's
got the twin motor and it is 2000 pa each of those motors and we do have a side sweeping brush here
which is typical so that's going to help pull in things to the main brush two contact points and a
360 degree wheel which you can remove and then the sensors up the top there to detect for example any
fall so if it comes up to the end of a as to the stairwell at the top of the stairwell should i say
it won't end up falling down it because it's going to detect that drop side sensor here so that's to
detect where walls are so it can get up nice and close with that brush to then sweep things into
the middle we've got one of two exit exhaust vents here for those dual motors so it is the
dual cycling technology it's using so that's that 2000 pa times two which they claim ufe means that
it can move 80 more air compared to just a single motor and that it can also pick up here about 57.6
better than other vacuums with just the single motors for example like pit here
you can see that infrared sensor there that uses for docking and this is a sensor and
it's got rubber on the front so if it does bump into anything it presses in and it detects that
on the left the other air exhaust vent so a dust bin is very easy to remove it has a 600 milliliter
capacity just slides out and we do have the main brush cleaning tool located there
which means it's hidden away now they claim because of their ultra pack dust compression
that this dust box has a utilization rate that has increased to 127 percent because it's compacting
that dust in there now to open it you simply pull it in half like so you can easily empty
that out and this is where we can gain access to our washable filters they are very easy to remove
then the application so this is called yuffie home once you do set it up you have to of course
add the vacuum not hard to do and it does need to pair up to your wi-fi network once you go into it
you'll see the current status of it so at the moment it is charging the last clean stats are
right there so i did a bit of a spot clean so that line is where the vacuum has been so you
know exactly where it's going you can see how it's mapped out everything with the ai map 2.0
tech technology that they call it so we do have multi zones here that you can do a zone clean
you can see how many times you want it to do that you're also able to do a targeted spot clean so
for example i wanted to clean over in this area of the house set that up and again you can put
how many times you wanted to do that room cleans or auto which is just going to go around and do
everything now with those maps you can save up to five maps which is excellent a lot of
other brands you can actually only save three maps but this is five so very handy for people
that have big houses lots of stories and you're able to set up virtual boundaries no go zones
two with that which is excellent and you'll see that here we're able to adjust to
with the vacuum the suction level that you've got so the maximum the top setting is that 2000 pa
uh two times of course because it's both of those motors there that it has it's when cyclone
cleaning and then in the settings here you'll see that we've got various different options now i
won't go into absolutely everything here but we do have a remote control that's manual control there
the management schedules that's very easy to set up so a lot of people will probably be using this
imagine that you want it to clean every day at 10 o'clock in the morning when no one is home you can
select what days you want it to repeat and even the power mode and what mode to cling there to so
that again is it's all very straightforward we've got a cleaning history you have auto return if it
needs to do that cleaning so if it runs out of battery but it will run for two and a half hours
but it'll go back it'll charge and then continue on to do the clean voice settings you can figure
out you can figure that with different languages of course and that's for the feedback you get
from it and adjust the volume of if you find it's annoying and too loud you can just turn it right
down unit settings find the robot so imagine you lose it it's under the bed somewhere you can just
press that it'll tell you where it is and firmware update so i've already had one firmware update
come through which is great to see now how does it clean so it's like other lidar navigation robot
vacuums that i do test out so this one has what is called their ipath laser navigation it's got real
mapping of course and i showed you that map with the application before so what it will do is it
strategically plans things out once it sees it's in a room it will go around all the outside first
so that maps it out correctly and then zigzag back and forward going through and cleaning that means
it picks up everything it's efficient and it's cleaning it's not going to take a long time
it's certainly not like the older tech vacuums that i just try to avoid now completely the ones
that don't have lidar laser mapping remapping those old style ones that just ping pong around
everywhere are just useless to me now this vacuum of course because of the height will be able to
get under most beds unless it's a super low bed and under furniture and around them too it's
going to be mapping that out it has the sensor on the front too so when it does accidentally
bump up against something there's rubber around it too that little lip there it knows that straight
a little straight away there so the cleaning is quite efficient but what about something
that's a little bit more stubborn so i did a bit of a test here i had my cat vera which is
molting a little bit being spring here in europe and spain it went over it once and as you can
see here it got i would estimate about 85 to 90 percent of the little bits of corn flakes
i'd left down there some dust and some cat hair that was pressed in and some other hair
there too which was good and then on a second pass it will then be able to get rid of all
of it so for something that's very stubborn and difficult on carpets it will still need two passes
which you can set up with the application you can also do spot cleaning you can send it to
one area to spot clean get it to go over that area twice there too as well so thank you so much for
watching my video here on eufy's robot vac x8 and of course they do have that x8 hybrid model
if you're after a model that does have a mopping feature which is really the only con
for me is this doesn't mop but i would probably be better off getting then of course the x8 hybrid
