What testers say about the eufy C10

The eufy C10 is a budget vacuum-only robot with an auto-empty station: 4,000 Pa of suction, a rolling main brush, a side brush that extends into corners and a body only 72 millimetres tall, low enough to clean under many sofas and beds. The station empties the 600 ml bin into a 3-litre bag that eufy says lasts about 60 days. It navigates with a single laser sensor instead of a spinning lidar turret, and has no mop and no obstacle recognition.

Vacuum Wars found it a powerhouse on carpet: it pulled 86 percent of the sand out of medium-pile carpet, against an average of 75 percent, and lifted all of the flattened pet hair, a result few robots match. The testers call the extending side brush a pleasant surprise at this price, and it covered their floor plan in 58 minutes, close to the 60-minute average, with battery efficiency slightly above average. RTINGS found it great on hard floors, clearing most everyday crumbs and dust, and quiet enough not to bother pets.

The testers disagree on carpet: RTINGS saw it leave fine particles in high-pile carpet and a noticeable amount of pet hair behind, and found debris along walls and in corners despite the extending brush. Both agree that it runs into whatever lies on the floor: it catches rug tassels in its brush and does not reliably avoid pet waste, so clear the floor before a run. Its route is less methodical than that of a lidar robot, and Vacuum Wars measured below-average suction and airflow on the bench. For a tight budget and a home that needs no mopping, Vacuum Wars calls it a good-value choice.
