The most cutting-edge technology in home cleaning has finally arrived in the Philippines. Since 2018, eufy, the innovative brand from the Anker Innovations family, has been present in the country, introducing a variety of products to the market. From wireless security cameras to smart scales capable of measuring up to 12 body measurements, stick vacuum cleaners, and a water fountain for furparents, eufy has just brought their latest flagship robotic vacuum in the Philippines in the form of eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
This multi-awarded vacuum cleaner has received a 4-star rating from Tech Radar, CES Innovation Award Honoree, and Digitaltrends’ Top Tech CES 2021 Editor’s Pick. This is definitely something that neither among the available robot vacuums available in the country can compete with in terms of features.

One of the best features of the eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid is it has a combined Pa Power of 4,000. Each turbine can generate up to 2000Pa of intense dynamic suction power. This ensures that every sweep it makes is efficient. According to eufy, the vacuum is proven to have 93% compression power compared to other vacuums. This is the very reason why this is also a great match for furparents with pets that shed a lot.
Apart from this, since the RoboVac X8 is a hybrid cleaner, it doubles as a mop and vacuum at the same time. The Robovac X8 Hybrid can provide up to 140 minutes of mopping and 180 minutes of vacuuming. This is a huge upgrade from the RoboVac G10.
The new robovac also uses an iPath Laser Navigation system to find the most efficient cleaning route for your home. What it does is that it scans your house and builds a viritual maps, which it will remember and use each time it cleans. It uses Laser SLAM navigation technology, which is a mature technology when it comes to robot vacuum technology. Other robot vacuum products use LiDar technology, which usually works better in mapping the area and detectiung obstacles while cleaning especially in low light situations. We will know for certain how it differs from the more mature SLAM technology once our review unit arrives.
Since the eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid stores the map of the room, it can also clearly remember where it is, thanks to AI.Map Technology 2.0 embedded into its system. The vacuum cleaner can also be controlled via eufy mobile app, which is the users main hub to check on every feature of the device.
The roboVac X8 Hybrid by eufy is now available for PhP29,995 at Nify MOA Store (located near Ikea Philippines in Pasay City), selected Anker retail stores around Metro Manila, and online via anker.com.ph, and the eufy Philippines official store in Lazada.
