Eufy L60 vs. X8 – Comparison review

The eufy Clean X8 Pro is a black round-shaped robot cleaner. It has three buttons on top – start/pause, recharge, and spot cleaning. The robot collects debris and dirt with a roller brush located in the middle on the bottom and protected with a brush guard.

To collect dirt from angles, there is one side brush on the right. To move around, the robot has two rubber wheels near a roller and one swivel wheel in front. The laser distance sensor (LDS) is located on the lid top in the center. In front, the robot has a bumper to soften all crashes with obstacles and furniture; on the back, there is a ventilation hole and charging contact pins.

There are also four anti-drop sensors to prevent falls from stairs and steps, and the robot can cross only 19 mm of barriers. It also has infrared obstacle avoidance sensors. There are also some LED indicators to provide the current status.

The Eufy X8 has several modes: vacuum only for carpets and hard floors and vacuum and mop for hard floors. For carpets in the app, you can set the BoostIQ mode to increase suction power, but the power consumption will be increased accordingly.

This mode also increases suction power automatically when it is required. You can also select the suction power levels for the hard floor: Quiet, Standard (default), Turbo, and Max. Once you set the mode for the area/room, in the next run, the robot will use the same settings.

The X8 Pro mopping module should be installed only for mopping hard floors; it should not be installed for mopping carpets. You should wet the mopping pad with excess water.

On carpets, no-mop/no-go zones or virtual walls should be set as the robot does not have the carpet recognition function. The water tank has three water levels that are set by the app; the mopping pressure is 0.6kg. The mopping cloth is hand and machine-washable.

The eufy X8 Pro is a new model with twin-turbine suction to remove hair and debris from hard floors and carpets. Twin-turbine technology 2.0 ensures 80% more airflow and almost two times better cleaning than single-turbine robots. For a better collection of debris at once and better airflow, the X8 Pro also has an expanded air duct.

The eufy X8 Pro cleans the floor and carpets in neat rows (Z-shaped cleaning path). To start mapping the robot, you need to select “quick mapping” in the app while the robot is in the charging base.

You need to open all doors to access the robot and all rooms you want to clean. The charging base should remain in place during the mapping process.

The mapping is performed without cleaning, and the result is immediately available in the app using customizable AI.Map 2.0 technology. To map the home, it uses Precise iPath Laser Navigation. It helps to track cleaning routes and avoid obstacles.

The filter assembly of the eufy X8 Pro is located inside the dust box. The assembly consists of a HEPA filter that captures up to 99.5% of all dust, dirt, particles, and ABS plastic. The filter assembly ensures that there will be no dust leakage.

The eufy X8 Pro is equipped with a tangle-free patented roller brush, which is detangled automatically.

For active detangling, the roller brush automatically changes from reverse rotation to forward rotation. In reverse mode, it detangles hair; in forward mode, it picks up hair.

The brush effortlessly removes hair from the high-pile deep carpets. To clean the main and side brushes from tangled hair, you may use a cleaning tool from the package.

The eufy X8 Pro has a built-in dustbin and a water tank. The access to the dustbin is from the top lid, while the water tank is from the bottom. It is not recommended to use any other eufy cleaning solutions, as they can damage the device. Both tanks are plastic and easy to maintain.

The eufy X8 automatically returns to the charging station when the battery level is low. If you set the resume function in the app, the robot will resume and finish the cleaning after it is charged to 80% of the battery capacity.

The eufy X8 Pro has a small charging base to charge the battery; it is connected to the socket with a power adapter from the package. To protect the hard floors from direct contact with the wet mopping module with the floor, we recommend installing a waterproof pad near the charging base.

To install it, you need to remove stickers from the bottom of the pad and attach it to the floor. The station should be installed in an easy-access area on a level surface. There should be no obstacles on the left and right (0.5 m) and 1.5 m in front.

When the charging base is connected to the electricity, you will see a white LED indicator (status light); when the robot is charging, its three buttons on top are flashing with a white light.

The eufy X8 Pro can be controlled from the buttons on the top and the eufy Clean app from the App Store. The robot should be connected to 2.4 Hz Wi-Fi. In the app, you can create maps and select rooms or zones for cleaning. One or more rectangular areas of any size can be set in the application.

You can adjust the suction power and mopping water volume in the app as well. For all rooms, you can set automatic or customized cleaning modes. For all app users, is available scheduling, setting of cleaning time, repetition cycle, and return to cleaning after charging.

From smart features, there is also a do-not-disturb function (no auto-return cleaning at a specific time), child lock, and activity log upload. You can use Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to control the Robovac, but you need to have Amazon Alexa-enabled devices.
