Earlier this year at CES we reported that Anker’s subsidiary brand, Eufy, would be releasing a fleet of new vacuums to compete with the likes of Dyson, Roomba & Shark. The first to be released happens to be the HomeVac S11 Go & Homevac S11 Infinity, and we had the opportunity to check it out for ourselves, so let’s do it!
Available now, the HomeVac S11 has two different models, the HomeVac S11 Go ($249.99) and the HomeVac S11 Infinity ($319.99). I had the opportunity to check out the latter and I have to say I am absolutely amazed by how lightweight and efficient its been for our typical Saturday cleaning sessions in the Alston household. Aside from being lightweight, the S11 series is also cordless, making it easier to maneuver around the home, which is a delight for both my wife and I. For her, the thing she says she enjoys the most is the 80-minute run time (40 for the S11 Go) on a single charge. She’s pretty thorough with her cleaning between crevices, floors, corners, and floorboards, so her ability to knock out our two-bedroom apartment on a single full charge is amazing.
With features like a 90-minute charge thanks to a Li-Pro battery, you can get great cleaning in ECO mode, or 10 minutes in MAX mode. Complete with an extensive air filtration system, the five layers of air and cyclones and dual washable filters (including a HEPA filter) allows you to capture 99.96% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
What helps Jess clean on a single charge is its brushless DC motor complete with a dual-vortex cyclone system, giving you a maximum of 120AW suction. So for all of the pet hairs, crumbs and more, there’s nothing it’s not going to attempt to pick up. There’s a detachable and replaceable battery (the Go only hosts a single battery, while the Infinity gets dual batteries and a soft brush roller), on top if a selection of accessories including brushes and attachments that allows you to get the dust and cobwebs from blinds, corners of bookshelves, you name it. There are LED lights and a 180-degree Twist brush head that helps for getting under furniture, without having to physically move them out of the way (to Jess’ delight).
If you are looking for a powerful, long-lasting rechargeable stick vac, the Eufy S11 series is a great choice.
The Eufy Vacs S11 series starts at $269.99, and it is available from Amazon [affiliate link].

What I Like: Easy to use and effortlessly lightweight; Suction is probably the best in class for a cordless vacuum
What Needs Improvement: Nothing so far
Are you sure it’s a HEPA filter and not a HEPA-like filter? I haven’t seen any documentation on the net that a HEPA filter is included, that’s not the sort of thing most companies wouldn’t mention if they had it.
