One of the main reasons I’ve been so keen on trying the Eufy X8 Hybrid RoboVac is its ability to vacuum hard floors. With a downstairs living area that consists of either wood floors or ceramic tiles the best robot vacuum cleaners make total sense for me. In some ways they’re superior to regular vacuum cleaners, be they standard models or stick editions and certainly take the hassle out of cleaning chores.
The Eufy X8 Hybrid RoboVac also comes complete with mopping functionality. This makes it ideal for our tiled floors too, although it needs to be kept away from the wood areas to avoid damp seeping into gaps between the boards. And, if you have no need for mopping functionality then bypass the Hybrid model and get yourself the regular model, the Eufy X8 RoboVac.
Eufy Robovac X8 Hybrid robotic vacuum cleaner has been launched by Anker in India. The latest 2-in-1 robotic vacuum cleaner comes with cleaning and mopping capabilities and features iPath Laser navigation for following an accurate cleaning route without any manual help. Eufy Robovac X8 Hybrid offers Wi-Fi connectivity and compatibility with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice commands. The new Eufy Robovac X8 Hybrid has support for Eufy Home App to enable users to remotely control the vacuum, customise cleaning areas and choose from multiple cleaning modes.

Brushroll: It can be got by eliminating the brushroll guard initially. You need to clean the brushroll when a week, and the vacuum cleaner also comes with a cleaning tool extra set.
Brushroll guard: Unlike a lot of other vacuums, you also have to clean the brushroll guard when a week with a dry cloth or the cleaning tool.
Filters: There are 2 filters located inside the dirt area: a black foam item and a white high-performance filter. You need to clean them as soon as a week, and the foam filter can be washed with water, while the high-performance filter can not, so you can clean it with one more vacuum cleaner or the cleaning tool.
PROS:
The X8 Hybrid RoboVac ticks all of the usual boxes when it comes to what you expect from a machine like this. It seems like pretty good value and sits way above budget models that have definite compromises in their design, performance and functionality. Equally, it’s cheaper than the unashamed premium models on the market that might cost you a few hundred more. An ideal compromise then.
I’m particularly pleased with the way the app works, which lets you set up the X8 Hybrid RoboVac for mind-numbingly precise vacuuming if you’ve got the time and inclination. At the same time, the X8 works pretty well with minimal human input right out of the box. Used regularly this machine is excellent, and while it suffers the usual drawback of robovacs in that it needs emptying and cleaning frequently – unless you buy a self-emptying model – the X8 Hybrid RoboVac is very dependable.
The X8 will tackle light cleaning of carpets and rugs, but it really comes into its own on hard floors in minimalist homes. Where it will struggle, just like all the other robovacs out there, is if your home is a tip with countless obstacles to navigate. Do your bit to clear those out of the way though and there’s really no stopping the Eufy X8 Hybrid RoboVac.
