Okay, so I thought I did good research on this. I saved up for this purchase excited since we had just finished installing new floors through our entire house. As soon as the installers left, I broke out my new vacuum, downloaded the app, followed the instructions and did the required upgrade to the vacuum. Once it started to do it's first mapping route, the app immediately said network slow. The vacuum would pull out from the base about a foot and just spin, then return to the base and start drying the completelt unused mop heads.
I've tried taking it to my friends house and using another person's wifi, deleting the app and reseting the vacuum multiple times, tried repositioning a few feet from our router, tried running it through my ipad instead, everything including having comcast come out and check our network. Mind you, our TVs, alexa, ans any other devices in our house work just fine on our network. Eufy App would always say network slow and not even go further than a foot from the base. Obviously something is wrong with the vacuum, not my wifi.
Finally contacted customer support. First one in the chats brilliant solution was to try ro run the vacuum through Hotspot. Seemed ridiculous, but I tried. Once again, app said network slow. He then said he can't help me and that my chat log is being sent to their "engineering department". Waited 1-2 days for their "engineering department" to email me. They wanted proof of purchase, serial number, and a video of what's wrong with it. Submitted it and was told it'd be another 1-2 days while their "engineers" review my issue.
Woke up to an email this morning from their engineers and their suggestion after everything I've told them was to "try restarting it". Did they even read my messages of everything I've tried to do to be able to just use and keep my vacuum? Try hot spot and restarting it is their advice from their "engineering department" after days of waiting for a solution?
Returning this. Customer service is a joke if they ship you a faulty vacuum. Now I have to wait 30 days for a refund and then go buy a different brand. Waste of my time and left me disappointed over something I was excited about.
Update -
Eufy contacted me and offered a refund. Said to reply "Full refund" if i wanted one. I did. That was the day after the origjnal post, and they never responded or gave me a refund. Customer support sent me a replacement. Worked beautifully after I skipped the firmware update. It did an automatic software update yesterday, and it got stuck at 15%. When I woke up this morning, it's stuck at 13%. Once again our network is fine and stable, there's something wrong with their updates. Even customer service after doing their "analysis" of the returned original vacuum said that their "engineers" had diagnosed the problem as a hardware/software issue.
So, now I gotta box up another bulky item and return it. Hopefully by the new year I'm finally given a refund!
