  • Did either you or @hippy end up buying a robovac thingy? I'm also considering it but don't really want to spend Megabucks so the eufy ones are a consideration.

    Alternatively I might spend on a dehumidifier for clothes drying but I'm not convinced either are going to make a huge difference to either a); getting the hoover out b) drying clothes on a rack near the radiator.

    Are there any evangelists for either robovacs or laundry drying dehumidifiers to help me make up my mind?

  • Funny you should ask as I am both now.

    I got a Eufy G30, which is is fantastic for our needs.
    Maps by inertial navigation (two gyros and a floor tracking sensor). So knows where it's been and where it's dock is, but doesn't upload a 3D map of your house to some random cloud storage. (But I did put it in an isolation VLAN so it can't see anything else on my network)
    Suction seems great for our hard floors, I got mine from the Anker outlet on eBay, £130 refurbished with 12 months warranty.
    We run it every morning after breakfast when we are in our respective standup meetings. Takes 40mins to do the 30²m of the downstairs of our house.

    We have had a meaco dehumidifier for 10+ years and I couldn't be without one.
    The two best ways to use them are either;

    • put it in a small room like a bathroom, with the laundry
      Or
    • load your laundry on a rack, and throw a fitted sheet over the rack and dehumidifier to keep the dry air recirculating.

    Ideal for older houses or flats with limited room/no outside space.

    If either broke tomorrow I'd replace them without thinking.

  • Thanks all. Ended up pulling the trigger on a eufy 15c max from @spotter eBay link.

    Dehumidifier can wait as we are coming out of winter pretty soon and it's a solution to a problem I don't really need to address right now

    Will feed back on my experience with the electronic cleaning overlord.
