## What reviewers found

### eufy 11S Max

- TechHive: The jump to 2,000 Pa lifted more crumbs and pet hair, especially on carpet, and it crossed carpet to hardwood smoothly. It navigates by driving straight and turning on contact, so cables should be tidied. [Source](https://www.techhive.com/article/583831/eufy-robovac-11s-max-review.html)
- The Ambient: Removed most of the dirt in its runs and was very quiet in standard mode, but with no app or mapping it bounced around at random, choked on cables and got wedged between chairs. [Source](https://www.the-ambient.com/?p=11324)
- Mighty Gadget (87%): Left a full bin after each room and rarely caught on cables; the reviewer did not run formal suction tests. [Source](https://mightygadget.co.uk/?p=24993)

### Roborock Q10 S5+

- Vacuum Wars (3.34 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 96% of embedded sand and 96% of pet hair with 0% hair wrap. Dried stain score was 103 against a 93 average. It avoided 6 of 24 obstacles and estimated coverage was about 1,243 sq ft per charge. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-q10-s5-review/)
