This happens constantly. I had tape on it for a while, but even that failed.

Picture above is dramatization without the tape for clarity's sake, today it poked through the tape and shut itself off, this is how I actually found it:

Our Eufy vacuum has the power switch on the bottom.

In a good way or like the apple mouse has its charging port on the bottom way?

It seems well placed. It isn't really meant to be routinely turned off. The switch is recessed a bit and covered with a clear flexible cover.

I only turned it off once. It was recently because I didn't want it to run it's scheduled task until I could protect the Christmas tree.

isn't eufy the one that was caught sending videos from their products to their servers unencrypted?

[–] NABDad 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All we have is the vacuum. I don't know about any of their other products.

The vacuum isn't intelligent enough to capture video, let alone get online and send it anywhere.

It does a good job on the floors, though.

that's good, i guess as long as you don't give it wifi it's perfectly safe to use
