eufy L60 Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Dock
4.0
(10)
Bottom Line
Choose the eufy L60 with the Self-Empty Dock for strong budget LiDAR mapping and solid everyday pickup; Skip if you need dependable small-object avoidance or consistently strong performance on thick/high-pile carpet.
Best for
Pet owners and busy households who want a budget-friendly LiDAR robot that keeps hard floors and low-pile carpets consistently clean with minimal day-to-day effort.
Not for
Homes with lots of cords, small clutter, or frequent thick/high-pile carpet cleaning where stronger obstacle avoidance and deeper carpet pickup matter more than price.
Verdict
Across the reviews, the eufy L60 stands out as a value-first robot with LiDAR mapping that cleans in efficient rows, supports no-go zones and scheduling, and delivers strong everyday pickup on hard floors and low-pile carpet, especially for pet hair. The self-empty dock is generally effective at clearing the onboard bin, reducing hands-on emptying. The biggest tradeoff is autonomy: small obstacles and cords can still cause hangups, and corner/edge behavior can scatter larger pieces before a follow-up pass gets them. Battery life is described as adequate but not class-leading, and thick carpet performance is more mixed than hard-floor results.

-
Carpet — High-Pile Pickup 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2High-pile or thicker carpet is a weaker area: some budget comparisons suggest it can struggle more versus top performers, and small-object/brush issues can show up more on plush surfaces.

-
Clogging & debris prevention 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2Clogging is rarely reported as a problem, with multiple accounts noting consistent operation over repeated runs. Some debris can stick in internal crannies, and fine dust can cake in pre-filter areas, but full clogs are not commonly cited.
-
Filtration / Dust Containment 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2Dust containment is generally good in testing, with no meaningful blowback noted for the L60 in the budget comparison. Filters are described as easy to wipe or vacuum clean, supporting stable airflow over time.
-
Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2The self-empty dock typically clears the onboard bin well, including in dense-debris tests with only minor remnants in corners. Fine dust can cake in pre-filter areas, and experiences with the dock hair-cutting feature are mixed across sources.
-
Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2Large-debris intake is the main hard-floor caveat: multiple reviews note it may miss or scatter bigger pieces at first, but it often improves with repeat passes or adjusted cleaning routines.
-
AI, Smart & App / Automation 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.1App control is a major differentiator: scheduling, no-go zones, and map editing are praised in several reviews, though one comparison review reports notable app/map room-division issues depending on version or setup.
-
Noise level 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.1Noise is commonly described as relatively quiet compared with traditional vacuums, with some reviewers finding voice prompts more noticeable than the motor during normal cleaning.

-
Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.0Medium-pile carpet cleaning is strong for the price in some lab-style deep-clean tests, but performance varies by test methodology; overall it is better as a maintenance cleaner than a deep extractor on plush carpet.
-
Maintenance requirements 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.9Maintenance is straightforward but real: periodic filter cleaning, brush/side-brush cleanup, and occasional wheel clearing are commonly mentioned. Docked versions reduce daily bin emptying but do not eliminate routine upkeep.
-
Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9Edge cleaning is generally decent for everyday dust and pet hair, but some tests show larger debris can be left along walls or scattered outward by the side brush, improving with a second pass.
-
Battery & Charging 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.8Battery life is described as adequate but not class-leading, especially when running higher suction. Recharge-and-resume helps for larger areas, but some reviews call runtime below average compared with top competitors.
-
Stuck resistance 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.7Threshold handling is a strength for a budget robot, with multiple mentions of crossing thresholds or small lips around 20 mm. However, it can still get stuck on certain awkward objects like boards depending on the environment.
-
Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 3.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.5Tangle resistance is mixed. Some sources credit the dock hair-cutting concept, while others report hair still wraps heavily on the brush and that the dock cutting feature may not work reliably in all tests.
-
Bag-full indicator 3.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5Bag/full status signaling is useful but can be confusing if not reset properly after changes, leading to premature prompts in at least one long-term user account.
Cons
-
Corner Cleaning (Robot) 3.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.4Corner cleaning is typical for the category: acceptable for maintenance, but corners may still need occasional manual touch-ups, especially with larger or smoother debris.
-
Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) 2.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.8Crevice pickup is a known weak spot in at least one test source, with deeper grooves and crevices remaining challenging even with extended runtime, which aligns with typical robot limitations.
-
Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 2.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 2.7Obstacle avoidance is a frequent limitation: cords and small objects can cause tangles or stalls, and budget-tier sensing is not positioned as dependable for avoiding items like cables or pet mess.
FAQ
Does the L60 handle pet hair well?
Yes. Multiple reviews describe strong pet-hair pickup, especially on hard floors and low-pile carpet, though long hair can still wrap on the brush and may need occasional manual cleanup.
How good is the self-empty dock?
It generally clears the dust bin effectively and reduces mess, but fine dust can cake in pre-filter areas and some reviewers report mixed results for the dock hair-cutting feature.
Will it avoid cords and small objects reliably?
Not consistently. Reviews note it can get caught on charging cords and may struggle with smaller obstacles, so tidying floors or using no-go zones helps.
Is it good on thick carpet?
It can clean carpet, but thick/high-pile results are more mixed than hard floors or low-pile carpet. Expect better maintenance cleaning than deep extraction on plush carpet.
How noisy is it?
Most reviewers describe the robot as relatively quiet compared with a traditional vacuum, with the most noticeable sounds often coming from voice prompts or the emptying cycle.
