Foreword:
Like many people, this is the first time the host has come into contact with eufy's products.
eufy, founded in 2016, is a well-known digital brand Anker Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. 's brand _span_strong. Before this X8, Anker has successively released a number of sweepers products such as E5, L70, 11s, etc. It is one of the seven domestic companies that independently research the algorithm .
However, previously eufy was mainly mixed in the European and American markets, and many products were sold well on e-commerce platforms. According to US NPD data in June 2020, eufy has the second largest market share in the North American market of . Among them, Eufy 11s has won the position of sales champion in many countries.
until December 2019,eufy opened its first flagship store on Tmall in China; in 2020, it opened a self-operated flagship store on JD. It has a taste of "returning wealth and wealth". It seems that there is no problem in saying that it is "the light of domestic products".
eufy products
As a brand of the well-known digital company Anker, eufy's is reminiscent of the research and development of household cleaning products such as "span4span" "This kind of vocabulary; eufy chose to enter the domestically competitive sweeping robot field on the eve of Double Eleven in 2021. Its strength and confidence cannot be underestimated, but at the same time, the difficulty of is also evident .
dual-fan dust collection
is different from other "new brands" or "spoilers" on the market, the X8 launched by Anker is entirely self-developed _spanstrong12 , is highly recognizable in appearance , whether it is the design of dual fan , or the concept of strong9_strong _strong strong has formed a distinctly differentiated competition with competitors’ products.
So what are the remarkable features of this machine, and what is the actual cleaning performance? We then look down. In order to have a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of this product, the original poster decided to do a dismantling!
Unpacking:
The outer packaging of the product is black, revealing a strong sense of technology; X8 in the lower left corner is its model, and the right "Twin Turbine Technology" means "Twin Turbine Technology". Refers to the "dual fan" design mentioned in the opening ▲
family portrait includes: host, base, mopping module, power adapter , plastic floor mat, manual, warranty card and Mop, side brush, filter element and other spare parts▲
The top of the main unit adopts an integrated design, which is not split into two halves like most products we are familiar with; the surrounding part is span carbon fiber The material of , whether it is texture or texture, is quite elegant; coupled with the black body, decorated with rose gold stripes, the whole machine reveals a strong sense of high-level and technology. The top three mechanical buttons are recharge button, switch/start-stop button and partial cleaning button ▲ 2p

Turn
to the back, you can see that the machine is equipped with 4 cliff sensors , which can effectively prevent falling; side brush, main brush _strong12_strong and universal The design of the wheel is similar to most of the products we are familiar with; what is more worth mentioning is a pair of metal charging contacts and the flat _ on the back of the machine. span4span dust box (usually located in this position are water tanks) ▲
main brush adopts _strong4span span_strong4span glue strips alternatelyAnd the brush is denser, in the shape of "V" -this design can effectively enhance its cleaning efficiency and cleaning ability; the English "Dynamic Rolling Brush" of the dust suction port means that the roller brush is Active, driven by a motor (shown in the disassembly section) ▲
The more interesting design on this eufy X8 is the dust box.
The dust box is located at the rear of the fuselage, with a large overall area and a flat shape; through the translucent plastic on the top of the dust box, you can vaguely see the white filter element inside; the cleaning brush is directly stored on the top of the Chenhe; The part of the red circle specially marked in the picture belongs to the exhaust outlet of the dust box, which is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the dust box-this also echoes the design of the "double fan" of this machine (disassembled and shown below) ▲
The dust box can be opened directly in half, which is also the operation method for dust dumping and cleaning in daily use. A large piece of filter element "lays" inside the dust box like this. At this point, the air flow in the dust box is also very clear ▲
So far, the basic situation of this eufy has been relatively clear:
blockquote 266 blockquotedouble 3 span fan The selling point is that it claims the strongest suction power and excellent cleaning ability at the same price;
Stable and excellent navigation and map building capabilities, no active obstacle avoidance, a little regret;
③Small and stylish appearance, strong sense of technology, self-developed structure, fully differentiated from other competitors.
So what are the facts? What is the internal structure of the so-called "dual fan" design? We might as well take a look at it.

After the surround is removed, we can see the two sets of elastic mechanisms on the side of the sweeper ▲ _p152p 3 For some other sweeper products, the next time is the time to separate the top cover. However, this eufy uses a very excellent modular design , the battery and drive wheel components can be disassembled independently, which provides great convenience for later maintenance ▲
First open the battery compartment and take out the battery.The battery model is 18650 , which is a lithium battery; the battery capacity is 5200mAh, 74.88Wh ▲
Then continue to disassemble the two obstacle crossing wheels, the wheels are controlled by independent span_3span 4span motors. Connect through the 6PIN socket as shown in the picture ▲
After removing it, we can look at the structure of this obstacle wheel from various angles▲

Span many people don’t understand How to detect the lifting of the machine in the air, here the host also uses the animation to demonstrate for everyone: when the sweeper is in the air, the wheels will bounce, and the metal touch will be separated, the circuit will be disconnected, and the machine will also detect the electrical signal. ▲
Continue to disassemble, separate the two cables, you can separate the top cover and the host ▲

brand on both sides of the fan Driven by two independent motors, and each uses independent air ducts. And this
dual fan design,This is currently the only one on the market. eufy provides a powerful suction of 2000Pa*2 to the machine through its dual fan structure.It is said that under the same static pressure of , the air flow of _strong4span _strong4span is about 1.8 times that of a single span_strongspan4span _strong4span . , hair suction capacity is also improved 1.6 times , which can effectively solve the problem of the leakage sweep of a single fan-if the suction force is the same, then if the suction power is the same, then if the suction force is the same, then if the parameter of is The dual-fan machine can produce more air volume, and the real suction is more powerful.
At this time, put the dust box to the corresponding position, we can roughly describe the dust collection path of this eufy sweeper when it is working▲
27 p
img The dismantling part is shown here.Through disassembly, we can see the two highlights of this eufy in terms of design:
①Battery and obstacle crossing wheels adopt modular design. When disassembling and replacing, there is no need to separate the top cover. It is convenient for later maintenance;
②The first dual fan structure can provide a super powerful suction of 2000Pa*2, which is unmatched by other brands of sweepers (measured below).
At this point, the positioning of this eufy is also very clear:
It should be a which is the main product of strong suction power. It is intended to to solve the problem of ground hair in pet households , and provides a solution to the pain points of long hair users who are not easy to breathe in .
Use the actual measurement:
The actual measurement is divided into two parts: One part is the function and use of the APP; the other part is the performance measurement of the machine. The measured part focuses on its suction power under the blessing of "double fans".
Let me talk about the actual measurement first. This part mainly shows the suction power of this eufy X8 under the blessing of dual fans. There are two main ways to display:
① Pass the limit test of sucking soybeans and cat hair to directly demonstrate the advantages of in terms of suction.
at a lower frequency. At the same time, the compacted dust means that when dumping garbage, will not make dusty , and the experience will be better.②By comparing this eufy X8 and other sweepers in the dust box of dust and lint tightness, judge the utilization ratio of _strong12_strong_3span4span _blocke_blocke_block4span _strong12 _3span 4spanquote;
The first demonstration is the soy sucking test.
Anyone who has a sweeping robot at home knows that The vast majority of sweeper products currently on the market ,When faced with large-particle garbage such as soybeans, it is often difficult to inhale , and may be missed.
But in the process of testing with eufy (the suction is adjusted to the strongest gear), the sweeper calmly "crushed" the past, and finally the ground was clean and all the soybeans were "in the bag" at once. To be honest, the results of this test really exceeded the poster’s expectations▲
Seeing a small number of soybeans passed the test successfully, at this time my inner desire to win was stimulated: if you add soybeans Quantities... The result is still done again and again, no one is missing ▲
But the limit test is not over here. The above scenes are still not enough for life. Here are some tests that are closer to life:
Since the suction power is so strong, then we will use cat fur to test whether the sweeper can clean the pets attached to the carpet Hair▲
The experiment process is still carried out in remote control mode. It can be seen that after this eufy X8 has passed through the carpet with fine cat hair, the surface of the carpet is completely clean and tidy, and the cleaning effect is quite satisfactory. friendly!
dust tight
After two global cleanings,Open the dust box of the sweeper to observe, we can see that the dense dust and a lot of long hair are compressed into a small tuft▲
This is actually already proves that this eufy X8 is in the process of working Strong suction . At the same time, with this highly "compressed" dust and hair, the dust box of this sweeper can hold more garbage, allowing users to dump garbage
Dust collection is called loose
Looking at the dust collection effect of other brands of sweepers, a large amount of dust will appear to be much looser-and it is the two that bring this difference. The gap in suction power ▲
And if we observe carefully, we will also find that other sweepers with a single fan will eventually concentrate the dust in the middle of the dust box, and the dust on both sides will be sparse. Its storage space causes great waste▲
On the other hand, eufy, in the dual fan solution, the dust is evenly attached to the entire HEPA filter. This also further increases the space utilization of its dust box.
So far, eufy's "double fan suction power is stronger" has also been fully verified.
3x speed
In addition to the powerful cleaning effect, the efficiency of this X8 returning to the base is superb, and the whole process is very smooth without any detours ▲
pspan
Do you think this is accidental? Let's do it again. The result is as clean and smooth as it is impeccably smooth. The name of the APP is " EufyHome ". After downloading, it is the same as all smart devices . Follow the interface prompts step by step to successfully connect to the Internet, which is very simple.
Create a map
When cleaning for the first time, the sweeper will complete the map creation. The logic of mapping is also relatively simple and efficient, that is, first outline the structure of the whole house along the wall ▲
cleaning path
Then, the sweeper will “outline” the room that has just been “outlined” Zigzag cleaning ▲
Whether it is building a map or cleaning a path,Both are currently more mainstream solutions.
In terms of function, the main interface of the sweeper can directly adjust the sweeping intensity. There are four levels to choose from, and there is also a "BoostIQ" mode. The sweeper will automatically increase the suction according to the floor type, which is a bit similar to other brands. "Carpet pressurization" ▲
Under the "Settings" option, there is a "point to where" function, the user can select a coordinate in the APP, and then click the start button, the sweeper will automatically Arrived at the designated location. This function is more suitable for fixed-point cleaning ▲
In addition, this eufy sweeper also has a very useful function, which is the remote control function: click " remote control" Option, a three-button remote control will appear on the interface, and the user can use it to control the forward direction of the sweeper▲
Different from other brands of similar remote control functions, this eufy X8 is in the process of remote control. It performs the sweeping function at the same time. This function is very practical. It really realizes "where to scan", and the suction can be preset in the main interface. It is a very useful function-the above suction test is used, and the host uses this function to achieve.
Summary:
The evaluation of this eufy X8 sweeping robot is about to end here. So how should we objectively evaluate this machine? The host thinks that there are mainly the following points:
①Machine appearance is highly recognizable,And the appearance is online, the sense of technology is very strong, the surrounding carbon fiber body is full of texture;
②Modular has a unique and sincere design idea for the machine The later maintenance provides great convenience;
③ dual fan The design creates an industry precedent, which makes the machine have a strong suction power almost It can be said that all competing products at the same price on the market are slammed, and the measured results are indeed ideal;
④Of course, it is not perfect. From the hardware parameters of , the navigation and mapping solutions are mature and stable, and the basic performance meets daily needs. Unfortunately, X8 is not equipped with active obstacle avoidance, and its "intelligence" is slightly insufficient;
⑤ mopping module still uses self-penetrationThe original poster always insists that mopping is only an additional function with insignificant effect, and personally thinks it is not important. However, it may also be a pain point for friends who have strong demand for mopping.
Of course, if you talk about the product without selling price, it is all hooligans. At present, this eufy X8 has also been pre-sale, and the initial price is only 2399 yuan.
Looking at this eufy X8 at a price of 2000 yuan, the owner thinks that its highlights are still quite prominent . For families with pets who are troubled by hair, such a super suction sweeper product should be able to hold their hearts firmly!
insists on making an attitude of evaluation and producing content with temperature. I’m Tomato, see you next time~
