Eufy RoboVac X8 Pro SES

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Pro SES cleans my floors with high suction power. I can easily set exactly where and when he drives via the app. I find the mopping function less powerful.

Installation
I download the Eufy app via my smartphone and set up the robot vacuum cleaner for the first time. I am guided through the app with text and images. So no trouble. I easily place the compact base station, because it does not take up too much space. The robot then drives its first lap through my house. He explores every room and every corner. The robot makes a map of this. I can immediately view this in the app.

Cleaning preferences
Using the map, I choose which rooms the robot cleans at what time. The map is very precise, so I can easily set where it is going. I also immediately choose where the robot is not allowed to go. For example, I let him skip my office, so that I am not disturbed during my work. Because I see in the app where the robot has been, I know exactly where the house is clean.

Suction power
I am impressed with the suction power of the RoboVac X8 Pro SES. I see that the floor is really clean after the robot has visited. It also sucks up some larger dirt, such as wood chips that were on the ground, without any problem. When the robot drives onto my carpet, it automatically increases the suction power. It also sucks the crumbs right out of my carpet. It also recognizes objects on the floor, which it accurately drives around. He really does his best not to miss a spot. Sometimes this results in, for example, him dragging my shoe a bit.

Automatic emptying station
I find the emptying station very useful. This way I don't empty the dust container in the robot myself every time. This makes the robot even more independent. A handy extra is that the robot also cleans its brush in the emptying station. This way I don't remove the stuck hairs from the brush myself.

Mopping function
The mop function is a nice extra. I do notice that, like many robot vacuum cleaners, it does not remove stubborn dirt from the floor. The water reservoir is also a bit small, so I often refill it myself. So I think this robot vacuum cleaner is more suitable for vacuuming jobs. For a robot that also mops, I would rather choose the Eufy X9 Pro, with rotating mopping brushes.

Corrie is great, she loves sleeping, watching TV and vacuuming. This is the only thing she does every day. We are so happy with Corrie that we forgive her for not liking mopping.

Corrie goes through my living room and kitchen in the pitch dark in 45 minutes flawlessly every night, for weeks now without getting stuck or having any problems. My living room is extremely complicated, with carpets and obstacles, which Corrie has absolutely no problem with.

I also put Corrie on the first floor once a week, a push of a button and this floor is no problem either. The bedroom, especially under the bed, has never been so dust-free.

My previous (negative) experience with Jannie (an iRobot Roomba i7) has been completely wiped away by how good Corrie is. Jannie got stuck halfway 80% of the time and always needed a night light to be able to do anything at all.

In short, Corrie is great and it's a good thing she hasn't been around that long, otherwise I would have wanted her years ago.

I can imagine that the Eufy X10 is even better, it also seems to like mopping and bumps into small objects a little less often, but it is also a bit more expensive.

A small comment to Coolblue, I bought Corrie at the end of October for 379 euros, a day later she was 599 euros. A bizarre price difference, to probably go on sale again with Black Friday, but I don't think this is Coolblue's style.
