TLDR: I bought this instead of a hard-wood vacuum, which was what I was actually shopping for, and am super happy about it. If you live in a small-mid size apartment/house, with open areas and wood floors, this is a perfect vac, and I highly recommend. If you have a lot of rooms/floor space/area rugs/carpet, he is still a great budget option, but often becomes lost in rooms or stuck on carpets! If you don't mind babysitting him a little bit, he'll be a dream come true!
Let me set the scene for you-- I live in a 3-story townhome, with one messy human and two messy cats. This means the floors have become more of a chore than I'd like to deal with; and if you're considering a robo-vac, you're probably in a similar situation. I'm not trying to sweep my floor every day, and I'm also not trying to walk around on crumbs, litter, hair, and dirt all the time.
I began to research robo-vacs, starting with, of course, the Roomba. It was way out of my price range, however, and the only differences I can see between them and other vacs is battery life and programmability. I wasn't very interested in programming schedule cleanings, though (I don't want him to spook my cats!), and I don't have a very large apartment (the first two stories of the townhome are open rooms, the top floor is split into 2 bedrooms), so I wasn't super worried about a 3 hour charge, either.
This little guy has done an excellent job keeping the floors tidy! He picks up TONS of cat hair, dirt, and litter (honestly more than I thought was on my floor!), is super easy to clean (comes with great cleaning tools), and keeps on going for much longer than I expected as well (he's cleaning the basement now, and he's been going for about an hour, and doesn't seem tired yet at all!). He even cleans our area rug/entry mat for us, and does a dang good job. Sometimes it takes him a few go overs, but if you don't mind setting him up a room and leaving him to do his job for about an hour, he'll get it all no sweat!
Noise: As some others have said, he's about as loud as a dishwasher. Definitely not silent, but also not loud enough to bother me or startle my cats!
Battery Life: Longest run so far was 1/5hrs, and he still have some juice. Could probably go longer, but usually the job is done in an hour!
Cleaning Ability: Does a GREAT job on hard wood/tile. Even gets right up against the wall! Also dos a fair job on low pile carpets and mats. I have a very small/thin rug in my kitchen by the stove, and he cleans it without rolling it up, which rules!
Size: He's small enough to fit under the ledge from the cabinets in the kitchen which is GREAT, because that's where all the food collects, you know? He is not small enough to fit under our couch, but that could easily be fixed if we decided to buy some small stilts for it. We tucked his charger away by the stairs, and he's out of sight!
Charging: He doesn't do a great job of finding his base... we tucked the charge in the corner of the room because who would want it in the center of anything, anyway? That probably has something to do with it, and I imagine if we had bedrooms/more walls separating areas in our home, he would be even more lost. I don't mind picking him up and taking him home when he's done, but because of this I don't think I would ever use the scheduling feature. I might lose him somewhere in the house!
Carpets: My only gripe about this vacuum (but not enough to knock off a star!), is that he often gets stuck on our area rug. Specifically what I believe is happening is his spinning brushes are getting "stuck" on the edge of the carpet, because it's like a little hard ledge. Literally all you have to do is tell him to keep going and he will dislodge himself, though. His "stuck" sensor is just too sensitive-- but it's probably for the best. This is another reason that I wouldn't run him while I wasn't home, however-- he'd probably get stuck on the rug in the first 15 minutes and that would be that!
All in all, I would highly recommend this little guy for budget/first time robo-vac owners. I'm super grateful for all of his help! He does a fantastic job.

That seems to me a very dumb way to get out from a spot when you're ...
[UPDATE] Shortly after I wrote my original review, Eufy customer support contacted me and offer some tips on how to troubleshoot the vac issues I was experiencing. After following their advice (cleaning the drop sensors, according to error code) the vac would still get give up in unespected scenarios. I sent them pictures and described the vac behavior. The courteously offered to replace the vac with a new unit, updated for high pile carpet, according to their statement. Honestly, I checked the model and it was exactly the same than the one I had. The only different thing I noticed was the rubber lip behind the roll sticks a bit further in the roll assembly. That said, they did send a new unit to replace the misbehaving one and after using it for several days now, it's been doing a fantastic job. I would like to give Eufy customer support a shout-out for their prompt and very helpful intervention. [END UPDATE] I decided to write this review after 4+ months of use of the RoboVac. On the plus side, the vacuum has been faithfully cleaning my (mostly) carpet floors impeccably for all those maths I've had it. The battery life has been consistent throughout the whole period, living up to the description. Aside from cleaning the dust compartment every so often and dusting/washing the filters whenever I feel is needed, the vac hasn't needed any maintenance. I do sometimes pick it up and remove any carpet threads that get tangled in the roll, but that's to be expected. I have cables laying in my apartment floor, for my home theater, and so far those haven't been an impediment for the vac to work as expected. It has never got stuck because of the cable. What leads me to rate it 3 stars and what I see as the only down side, is that the thing DOES GET STUCK A LOT, mostly without a valid reason. I have it programmed to clean at 10:00am, when I'm away from home. At least 8 out of ten days when I come back, I can count on the vac NOT BEING in the dock. It will be stranded somewhere in my apartment, after just half a cycle, or in low battery mode while searching for the base. To be fair, my layout is not the easiest to navigate, though it is fairly small (I live in a studio). The problem is that sometimes the vac will just give up in the most dumber of situations. To provide some examples, I've seen it give up literally 10 inches in direct line (front facing) from the dock. I have attached a picture of this scenario. I have also seen it give up, in the middle of a cycle, while cleaning along a wall (still charged, not looking for the dock yet) as shown in the other picture. I've seen it get stuck in an open area, with only one wall. It will try to go through the wall (I guess), and after realizing it can, it will do a 360-degree turn and try to ram the wall again. That seems to me a very dumb way to get out from a spot when you're stuck. I must say that last scenario, which I have witnessed several times (no exaggeration here) happens mainly, though not exclusively, when searching for the dock. Notice that when I say "I've seen it", I mean exactly that, because I work from home sometimes and I get to witness those scenarios. I'm getting a bit tired of having to manually (with the remote) guide the thingy to the base, because no matter how many chances I give it (by pressing the home button) it will fail to find the dock. This happens a lot. Summarizing, I like how well the vac cleans, but the navigational aspect of it is really bad.
