Eufy X8 vs. X9 – Comparison review

The eufy X8 model is a black round-shaped vacuum robot cleaner. On the top are three buttons for quick control: spot cleaning, full auto clean, and go home.

For moving around, it has two main rubber wheels on two sides that can go up and down to improve performance on rugs and one small in front (swivel wheel) to make turns. The bumper in front of the robot protects the sensor from damage and crashes; on this bumper, the rubber strap protects tables and chair legs.

The eufy X8 Pro can climb up to 19mm in height. The robot has an expanded air duct to suck more dust and debris without blockages.

Like the X8 version, the eufy Clean X8 Pro has a twin-turbine technology. That means it has two vacuum motors than the usual one for double suction performance. The X8 Pro has 8000 Pa of powerful suction performance.

This system offers 80% more airflow and 1.8 times better cleaning than standard robot cleaners. This model is recommended for cleaning pet hair, carpets and high-traffic areas. The robot is designed to clean with a Z-shaped cleaning path in auto mode.

In the spot mode the cleaning spot is 4.9 ft. x 4.9 ft. You can only vacuum or simultaneously mop and vacuum, if you put on the mopping module. The mopping performance is determined by 0.6 kg downward pressure, no ultrasonic movements.

The eufy X8 Pro has a decent mopping function for hard floors. It uses a single microfiber mopping pad that does not leave watermarks on tiles. For stubborn messes, you can add cleaning solutions to the water tank.

Unfortunately, this robot is not designed for large spills and does not have a mopping pad lift when it detects a carpet. But you can easily remove the wet mopping pad if you are cleaning carpets.

You must manually wash a mopping pad every time after the mopping cleaning cycle. You can wash a mopping pad in a washing machine.

The X8 model uses infrared sensors to navigate accurately, around obstacles, and avoid cliffs. The AI mapping sensors are located in front of the robot.

The robot finds the best routes to clean your house as quickly as possible. The Lidar lasers (LDS) are located on top of the lid to measure distance to the objects and navigate at night.

The carpet sensors are responsible for increasing suction to the turbo mode. Using all sensors and lasers, the X8 model builds maps quickly and accurately.

The X8 Pro has one filter in the dustbin. The first part is presented with a small mesh to stop clogs.

The filter should be washed and dried for 24 hours after each cleaning performance to prolong excellent performance.

The eufy Clean X8 Pro is designed to resist hair tangling and collect fur. The Active Detangling Roller brush has reverse rotation for detangling and forward rotation for picking up hair; it ensures 89.6% of pet hair is sucked into a dustbin.

So, it automatically rotates in different directions if it detects the combs on the brush. The brush has a V-shape design to guide the dust and debris into the air duct. The one-side brush accurately removes all dust and debris from corners. You can find a cleaning tool in the package for cleaning the roller brush and removing hair.

The eufy X8 Pro has a dustbin under the lid located in the middle of the robot with compressor technology to collect more dust in one cleaning cycle. The water container is located on the back and can be easily extracted with a mopping pad below for refilling.

The water tank has a small filter to stop any obstacles from entering. The water container with a mopping pad is called a mopping module in the quick guide.

The eufy X8 Pro is an intelligent robot that automatically goes to the docking station to recharge and resumes where it had finished.

The eufy Clean X8 Pro comes with the most compact, self-empty docking station. So, the robot is not only charging, but also, during this process, all dust is sucked into a 2.5 L bacteria static bag with a self-sealing inside the base station.

The dust can be stored for up to 6 weeks (45 days). The dust suction is quite noisy, so you can schedule it while you are away. In the app, you can also choose the brush cleaning function to remove all debris and allergens; this makes the maintenance almost hand-free.

The self-empty station has infrared sensors to help the robot return and two charging contact pins. The LED indicator shows the working mode of the base station (red – error, white – stand by or emptying the dustbin).

The eufy Clean X8 Pro is controlled via a smartphone where you can choose the suction level (4 levels – quiet, standard, turbo, and max), a water level (3 levels – low, medium, and smart), select the whole floor cleaning or individual rooms and zones.

You can also set no-go and no-mop areas. Many other functions are available via the app, including cleaning schedules and how often the base station will empty the built-in dust bin.

Moreover, you can use the robot manually using the buttons in the app to achieve the spot for cleaning quickly.
