Me, many thumbs up. Biggie, jury's still out

[susandennis]

The Eufy arrived about 5pm yesterday. I set it up and let it charge. My intention was to charge it to full before I tried it out but, after dinner, I was playing with the remote and it started up. So I let it go.

It's been well over a decade since I had a Roomba. And, I'm guessing they've refined it a bit so comparing this to the robot vacuum of 10 years ago is not at all fair. Still... I remember the Roomba as horrendously loud. It was hard to hear the TV while it worked. It got stuck on everything and the brushes got clogged constantly and the bin had to be emptied every 10 minutes.

The Eufy is like it's genius twin. First of all it's so quiet. If I'm in the living room, I cannot even hear it in the bedroom next door. I hit the GO button this morning before I went to walk. It was working hard when I got home. It ended up going for an hour. Both times, last night and today, when the battery got low, it went home to charge up. Error free.

Ha! I forgot that I set it up to automatically start about 7:45, just to test. And just now, it started! I'm pretty sure it was not yet fully charged so it won't o long but, hey, Good Work on that scheduled run!

The bin is a nice size and has come close but not yet totally filled. The main brush needs cleaning every time but mainly because of sewing threads (which would have caused Roomba to go casters up entirely).

Bottom line, I threw out the box this morning. I am totally NOT sending this back. It's fabulous. Great decision.

Oh and all that random litter around the litter box cabinet? GONE!

But, speaking of cats... I can say for sure that Biggie is not 100% sold on his new toy. He watches it carefully, from a safe distance. Carefully, but also constantly. He'd better get used to it cause it's staying.



Ok, now the Eufy is charging again and Rover is on his 1.5 hour break and Biggie is napping it out.



And... in other GREAT news, turns out the QFC pick up grocery option may, indeed, be the best deal yet. I built up a list yesterday on their website and left it to see what would happen. It was still there today. Good. All I could see about pick up times was that the first available was tomorrow. Ok. So I finished it up and went to check out. There I got choices. Tomorrow at 4 or just about any time on Sunday. I picked 9 am Sunday. I am to go to their parking garage and park in a designated spot and then call them. (er, ah, which decade is this? text, plz but ok) and they will bring me my groceries.

THEN I got the sweet news that I can make changes to my order up until midnight tomorrow!! This is the best news ever. There is always always something I remember the minute I get my groceries into the house. Now, hopefully, I'll have a day and a half to remember that thing.

But the big news is that now I can use my eggs, since more will be coming. So today I think I'll whip up some quiche breakfast muffins.

And do more vacuuming, of course.

I am so glad to read this review!!! I have been debating off an on for a few months now about getting a Roomba, or some other similar thing. I will now be reviewing cost options for this Eufy. I DETEST the dog hair around my house and it is very difficult to keep up with it. If you are finding that yours can pick up thread, and I assume at least some amount of cat hair, then that gives me great hope that it could do the same for me without frying because of the dog hair getting jammed in it. I'm so excited!!!

I think your dog hair might be perfect fodder for this baby. I got the model 30. I did not opt for the one with WiFi and phone app. For once, I honestly do think that is overkill.

Yayyy! So glad you are liking it! I thought you would! They really have made enormous progress.

[susandennis]

Thanks to you for prompting me to take a second look. And wow I am sure glad you did!

And as of this morning, my local grocery store was stocked full of eggs, so I don't think you have to worry about a shortage of those.

[susandennis]

yeah!

Hooray for more eggs! Will there be another quiche? The last one looked good.

The Eufy is interesting. We've got a roomba and too much shit on the floor to use it, but the battery is also dead and its an old refurbished model from woot.com.
Mike's hoping we declutter a bit and the eufy prices look good.

I'm severely impressed with it. While it was charging, I went back and ran the stick vacuum around where the litterbox is. It did its usual meh job. Then I left Eufy go. Now there is no evidence of a litterbox in the area!

Probably a no on the quiche. It was great fresh but not that great later. Today, however, is quiche muffins. Always delish. Pix and recipe to follow.

The day after I got my Eufy we got home from somewhere and it was zipping around the piano room. I had forgotten, like you, that I set the timer for 5 PM.

Your talk of eggs makes me want to make cheeseburger "quiche". I think I'll do that this weekend. I'm getting tired of smoothies for breakfast.

I have a Eufy too, I love it! Kenji used to also stare at it constantly, but once she realised it wasn't actually out to get her personally, she ignores it.

[susandennis]

Yeah, I think Biggie will get to the ignoring stage. Maybe not today ;)

Sounds like a good investment. I think before you know it Biggie will be riding around on it.
