iRobot Roomba 980 vs Eufy RoboVac 11

This robot is one of the best out there cleaning-wise. It's equipped with a very powerful vacuum that easily deals with dirt, hair, and dust on hard floors. It automatically boosts suction power by a factor of 10 once it climbs on a carpet or a rug in order to thoroughly clean it as well. You can be sure that it will clean any surface of nearly any debris.

The robot moves intelligently, with the help of a camera and various location sensors. It maps out the environment during cleaning and then remembers it for the next cleaning session. It moves in patterns to better track the areas it has already cleaned, and it can detect spots that need more attention in terms of cleaning.

Also, unlike the vast majority of robots, this Roomba can move from one room to another, cleaning without getting lost.

If you find it necessary, you can prevent it from entering a certain room or area. Just take a device called "virtual wall" that's included in the package and place it in the doorway. It emits an infrared ray (up to 7 ft) that Roomba will not cross.

When connected to the Wi-Fi, the robot can be controlled from anywhere with an internet connection, just by using the application. It's useful when unexpected guests are coming and the house needs to be cleaned remotely. The application includes many additional options, like, have the robot do two cleaning passes, have it clean extra carefully along the edges and walls, change the vacuum’s suction power, and others.

On a single charge, it can work up to 2 hours. Unless you’re living in a big house with multiple bedrooms, one full charge should be enough to clean your entire home. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the robot.

When the cleaner detects it is low on battery, it will find its way back to the docking station to recharge. After that, it will finish the initiated cleaning.

In a similar fashion, it will return to the station when the dustbin is full and wait for it to be emptied.

The Robovac 11 offers excellent cleaning for the low price: it easily deals with dust, dirt, crumbs, pet hair, and other debris. It can also clean rugs and carpets. In short, it will keep your home clean no less than some significantly more expensive robots would.

This vacuum can work for 1.5 hours on one charge; most robots in this price range last for 60-80 minutes at most.

The Robovac 11 has HEPA filters that very effectively dispose of dust particles and other pollutants that often have an adverse effect on your health.

You can leave this robot working on its own without worrying that it will get stuck or fall down the stairs. It's equipped with infrared sensors that help it detect and avoid obstacles and sudden drops. It also has a low clearance - 3 inches - that lets it get clean the furniture without getting stuck.
