Can I say something controversial? Vacuuming is my favorite housework. No, not because I like lugging around a bulky floor cleaner, but because I don’t have to. My robovac does all the work for me (which I guess means I can’t Seriously call it my favorite cleaning task). From a technical point of view, one of these smart machines has completely changed, and if you are in the market for one, let me guide you to the Eufy L60 robot vacuum. This small but powerful device has 5,000Pa suction, which is on the high end for a vacuum robot, as well as providing up to 120 minutes of runtime. But what is the most crazy? Right now it’s down to $200 (from $280) at Amazon.

Attention: hair, crumbs and dust bunnies – you’ll need a better hiding place once this powerful robovac is on the move.

Why is it a good deal? π°
I shop sales for a living, and it’s not every day you see a best-selling robot vacuum for $200. According to our trackers, this is the best price this robovac has been marked at. For comparison, this Roborock model that only has 2,700Pa of suction is going for $240, so the fact that the Eufy has 5,000Pa of suction and costs less? ‘Nuff said. Note: You must be a Prime Member to develop this market.
Why do I need this? π€
Sure, there are plenty of robovacs on the market, but what sets the Eufy L60 apart – apart from its powerful suction and long battery life – is its precise room mapping capabilities. The advanced iPath Laser Navigation technology relies on LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology to help it avoid crashing into things while charting your home, and you can even find out which areas, if any, you want keep it away from them.
It also uses BoostIQ technology to automatically adapt to different floor types, and it can climb up to 20 millimeters, allowing it to lift itself over thick carpets. At four inches tall, it will be able to slide under many types of furniture, and you can choose from four levels of suction, the lowest of which will give you the longest run time.
What critics say π¬
Amazon customers are particularly impressed with the Eufy L60 Robot Vacuum’s mapping functionality, suction and ability to navigate uneven surfaces.
Benefits π
“βββββββgot my robot vacuum set up and running today,” wrote one happy shopper. “I’m 77 … so it’s not an astrology setup. He mapped it perfectly. There are only a few places he can’t reach. He even finds in the [toe kick] of the cabinets.”
βI have two dogs that shed a lot, and I’m always surprised [by] how much dog hair does this pick up,” shared a pet parent. “I love being able to set up no-go zones and being able to [to] clean specific rooms, one by one.”
βHe does a great job [of] going into the corners and under the beds,” wrote a third buyer. “It also does a great job of mapping out the floor plan, and after several uses follows a very effective pattern around the house. He has no problem maneuvering around furniture or getting used to my floors and rugs. … I wish the dust pan was a little bigger, but it’s big enough for my 1,700 square foot house.”
Disadvantages π
In case you are sensitive to sound, this reviewer had one note. “[The] the only complaint I would have is that it is a bit loud,” they said, “but I can deal with it because [of] how well it works!”
“I wish I got a model that came with the brush roll that avoids hair wrapping, because I’ve had to pull out the roller and cut the hair out three times already,” wrote another. “Also, because of the extra Lidar module on top of the vacuum it can’t go under a few pieces of our furniture…” That said, they said, “I love being able to check in the app [to] see if it’s stuck somewhere.”

At only 1.2 pounds, this handvac won’t make you feel like you’re putting your hands through a workout every time you reach for it. It has an impressive 5,500Pa suction and includes a crevice tool for cleaning tight spaces.
“Light and small enough that it is easy to store,” shared a reviewer. “It’s a nice sleek design too… so it doesn’t bother me when it’s left out for charging. I use it on my sofa, around my dining table and chairs after meals and it goes into little corners and cracks really good! I like that I can cut it and it lasts me about a week or more using it almost every day for small quick cleans I’ll be using it for my car too!”
