The eufy L60 is a budget robot vacuum with a LIDAR mapping sensor. Like many of eufy's other offerings, it has a 'BoostIQ' function that automatically increases suction on carpeted floors. The eufy Clean app provides a pretty broad range of configurability too, allowing you to label and merge or divide rooms, set up no-go zones, and adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior on the fly.
Our Verdict
The eufy L60 is okay for bare floors. While it can struggle a little bit with clearing away, especially lightweight debris, it ultimately does a good job of handling bulkier material. It's also quite good at maneuvering itself, by being able to get close to chair and table legs without getting stuck. Its companion app provides a pretty broad range of features, too.
-
Impressively feature-packed app.
-
Good maneuverability.
-
Struggles a bit with larger debris.
-
Incurs high recurring costs.
The eufy L60's performance on low-pile carpets is satisfactory. Its debris pickup performance on low-pile carpets is pretty satisfactory overall, though it can struggle somewhat with really fine debris that's pressed deep into corners or along walls. Its pet hair pickup performance is nothing special, either. Its 'BoostIQ' function is also a welcome addition since you won't have to manually adjust its suction power setting whenever it has to maneuver onto any carpets or rugs in your home.

The eufy L60 is an alright option for homes with high-pile carpeting. It can get stuck in especially plush shag-pile carpeting, but ultimately, it's capable of maneuvering itself on anything slightly thinner than that. Its debris pickup performance on high-pile carpets is quite good, too. On the downside, this vacuum does incur fairly high ownership costs, with quite a few parts having to be replaced periodically.

The eufy L60 is a middling option for people with pets. Pet hair pickup performance on carpets is mediocre, with the vacuum's bristled brushroll and side brush dragging around lighter strands of hair and dragging them around. On the upside, the roller itself is easy to remove and clean. It does a pretty poor job of sealing in fine allergens, too. Thankfully, the vacuum itself is very quiet, which is great if your pet is sensitive to loud noises.

Compared To Other Robot Vacuums
The eufy L60 is a somewhat unremarkable robot vacuum with few standout features, but it does execute pretty well on the fundamentals at a pretty compelling price point. It has a pretty good companion app and a fast LIDAR mapping sensor, and while its debris pickup performance isn't outstanding, it's also far from terrible. All in all, it's a viable alternative to models like the Wyze Robot Vacuum or Roborock Q5.
If you're looking for alternatives, take a look at our recommendations of the best robot vacuums for hardwood floors, the best robot vacuums for carpet, and the best budget robot vacuums.
The Roborock Q5/Q5+ is simply better than the eufy L60, though the latter is still a viable option if you can find it for a lower price. The Roborock feels like the more premium object, with a sturdier overall construction. It also provides better overall debris pickup performance on hard floors as well as low and high-pile carpets. Its pet hair pickup performance is noticeably better, too. While the eufy isn't bad at avoiding obstacles, the Roborock cleans in an even more organized, thorough fashion.
The eufy L60 is ultimately a slight improvement on the eufy RoboVac X8. The L60 does a noticeably better job of maneuvering itself, by hitting obstacles much less frequently. It's also a tad easier to maintain and has a larger dustbin that you won't have to empty as regularly. That said, the X8 does feel a little better built.
The eufy L60 is far better than the eufy RoboVac 11S. Unlike the 11S, the L60 is a smart-pathing unit, and it cleans in a much more time-efficient, thorough way, all without bumping into obstacles like furniture legs. Furthermore, the 11S doesn't have a smartphone app. This is a big downside compared to the L60, as through the eufy Clean companion app, you can do things like set up cleaning schedules, label individual rooms in your home and send the vacuum to clean them, or even set up no-go zones for areas that you don't want the vacuum to enter.
The eufy L60 and the Wyze Robot Vacuum are pretty evenly matched robot vacuums with similar feature sets and designs. The eufy is the better option for homes with a lot of carpets or rugs, thanks to its 'BoostIQ' feature, which can automatically increase its suction power setting depending on the surface it's on. The eufy is also marginally easier to maintain and has a bigger dustbin that you won't have to empty as often. Meanwhile, the Wyze delivers better debris pickup performance on hard floors. It feels better built, too.
Test Results
The L60's build quality is decent. It's mostly made of hard textured plastic with a satin finish. Its control buttons, front bump guard, and wheels are made of rubber. It feels quite sturdy overall, with a fairly dense overall construction. However, the overall fit and finish of the plastic used for its body is noticeably less premium in feel compared to a higher-end model like the Roborock Q7 Max. Finer debris can also get trapped in small gaps in its dustbin, which in turn can cause the release tabs to jam.
Assembly and disassembly aren't difficult. The dustbin slides in and out of its slot smoothly, and the brushroll guard clips in without much effort. That said, there are retaining screws for the side brush and the battery compartment cover that you need to remove before accessing either component.
User maintenance requirements are reasonable, with only a few components that need to be cleaned periodically. Things like the dustbin, filter, and brushroll are easy to remove and clean, though, in the case of the latter, it doesn't take much pet hair to make it jam. The brush guard is also held in place with only a clip and isn't difficult to remove either. Unusually, there is a rubber strip running the width of the guard, which acts as a squeegee on floors to gather up smaller debris and ensure it stays in the path of the brushroll. This rubber squeegee is sandwiched between the frame of the vacuum and a plastic bar that's held in place with a trio of retaining screws, which can strip if you aren't careful when removing them. Unfortunately, the side brush, which collects a lot of hair and will consequently need to be cleaned often, is also screwed in place. The main issue with this is that the screw slot is quite shallow, and it won't take much to strip this thread.

This vacuum incurs moderately high recurring costs.
- Filter: The filter should be replaced every three months. You can purchase a two-pack of filters here.
- Side brush: The side brush should be replaced every three to six months. You can find a four-pack here.
- Brush guard: The brush guard should be replaced every three to six months, or whenever you notice visible wear and tear. You can buy a replacement here.
- Brushroll: The brushroll has an estimated service life of six to 12 months. Unfortunately, it can't be purchased individually, instead only being available as part of an accessory bundle, which also includes:
- 1x brush guard
- 4x side brushes
- 2x filters
This vacuum is fairly small overall. Its compact body has a low-profile charging station with room for excess power cord length.
This vacuum's dirt compartment is of a passable size, with a greater capacity than that of the eufy RoboVac G30, but it's still far from special in this regard. You'll have to check the dustbin's fill status yourself, as there are no built-in sensors or in-app reminders.
The eufy L60 only has a simple charging dock. If you want a vacuum bundled with a self-empty station, you'll have to upgrade to the pricier L60 SES model. Its self-empty docking station contains a 2.5L dustbag, which the manufacturer claims is large enough to hold 60 days' worth of debris.

The battery performance is superb. In its high-power 'Max' mode, it supplies just over an hour of cleaning time. Using its 'BoostIQ' mode extends its runtime to roughly 2.5 hours, which should be enough to clean most large spaces. The vacuum will return to its dock and refuse to start a new cleaning cycle if its charge status is too low. Consider the Roborock Q5 Max+ if you want something that can run longer off a full charge.
This vacuum has a couple of quality-of-life features. The eufy app offers four suction power modes: the low-power 'Quiet' mode, the default 'Standard' mode, and the 'Max' mode. The 'BoostIQ' function allows the vacuum to automatically switch to a higher suction power setting on carpeted floors.
This vacuum has a hook-blade cleaning tool for clearing tangled hair from the brushroll's bristles.
Performance on hard floors is alright. The L60 does a pretty good job of handling larger debris like cereal, but its side brush scatters around finer, lighter debris. It also isn't the best at cleaning up debris that's pressed right up close to walls and corners.
This vacuum delivers good performance on high-pile carpets. It's very good at dealing with medium-sized and large debris on this surface type, though like a lot of robot vacuums, it doesn't provide enough surface agitation to lift away finer debris that's been pressed deeper into carpet fibers.
Note: We initially encountered some difficulty testing the eufy L60 on our black sample carpet due to the vacuum's cliff sensors triggering, causing the vacuum to stop moving. To get around this issue, we covered the sensors with white gaffer tape. This isn't necessarily something that will impact most people, but it's worth noting that this vacuum can have trouble maneuvering on especially dark-colored surfaces.
The eufy L60's performance on low-pile carpets is decent. Once again, it has little trouble dealing with large and medium-sized debris like cereal pieces or rice on this surface type, but any finer material like sand left close along walls or in corners is liable to be left behind.
This vacuum's pet hair pickup performance on low-pile carpets is mediocre. It tends to drag around a lot of lighter strands of hair, which can get caught in its brushroll, as seen here.
Like most robot vacuums, the eufy L60 has poor suction performance at its floorhead. The suction inlet is too high above the ground to generate a tight seal on bare surfaces.
This vacuum's airflow is relatively okay. It won't deal with heavier debris as easily as a higher-end model like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, but it'll still outperform the vast majority of budget-friendly models on the market.
This vacuum is remarkably quiet. You'll hear what people nearby are saying even when it's running in its most powerful suction mode.
This vacuum does a good job of maneuvering itself. Its LIDAR sensor maps quickly, and the vacuum itself is great at getting close to things like furniture legs and coat racks. That said, it does tend to get caught on a lot of garden-variety obstructions, like thick carpeting, rug tassels, and power cords; in the latter instance, it won't necessarily stop, but it can pull the cord behind it. In extreme cases, this could lead to the vacuum pulling a power cord from an outlet in a wall.
This vacuum's particle filtration performance is mediocre. Some fine particle elements get trapped in its three-layer filter, but the majority gets through it and passes through the exhaust on the left side of its body.
This vacuum's crevice-cleaning performance is sub-par when it's set to its 'Standard' power setting with the 'BoostIQ' function enabled. It essentially lifts almost nothing from cracks, with the majority of debris being lifted away by the rotation of its side brush.
This variant of the eufy L60 has no impact on stains. If you want a variant of this vacuum that does come with a mopping feature, you could consider the eufy L60 Hybrid SES.
This vacuum isn't designed to deal with liquid spills.
This vacuum has a few physical automation features and can be operated without its companion app. As is usually the case, using it without the app does mean that you're missing out on a lot of functionality. There are a couple of buttons on top of the vacuum. Pressing and holding the 'Cleaning start' button for three seconds powers the vacuum on or off, while just pressing it pauses the current cleaning cycle. Pressing the 'Recharge' button makes the vacuum return to the charging station while pressing and holding it toggles the child safety lock. Pressing and holding both buttons resets the unit's Wi-Fi settings.
The eufy Clean app is great. It's reasonably well laid-out, and you can see a quick overview of the features within here.
Once the L60 has mapped out your home, you can label then divide or merge rooms, set up no-go zones for areas you don't want it to enter, see the vacuum's cleaning sequence and planned path, and see warnings for obstacles it encountered along the way. With the app, you can adjust the vacuum's power setting, send it to its dock, and choose between three different cleaning area modes: a specific room, a fully automatic mode for larger areas, or a user-defined zone. It also supports three map levels. You can also use the app to check maintenance reminders for various wear components, view the user manual, adjust the voice used for audio prompts, set up its 'Do Not Disturb' mode, or even share control with another smartphone user in your home.
