Eufy wants out or to be a star… perhaps the work is just too difficult - he didn’t know he was going to a 4 dog house when we purchased him… or maybe he wants to be in the next Mission Impossible movie - but recently, all he wants to do is jump.
It appears he’s always had a screw loose, so to speak… and we didn’t know any better. In an attempt to find out if his newly-found desire to jump has happened to others, we just learned that he is not supposed to run into things, (furniture, people, dogs). We just figured that was his way of getting around. Our Eufy runs into everything and everybody - and has since we took him out of the box. Its not like he crashes into anything/anybody at such a high speed to cause damage, but even this morning, before trying to jump the stairs, I watched as he ran into the back of one of our dogs who was relaxing on the floor. The dogs don’t even move anymore when Eufy approaches and neither do we (the people). We all just send him on his way, to find another obstacle that will change his direction.
But the jumps are new and he seems quite anxious to succeed as he makes a beeline to the stairs the minute we hit start. Then, of course, jump attempted, he lays one stair down screaming until we save/move him.
HIs most amusing jump to date was when he tried to make a break for it - the front door had been left open while taking groceries into the house and Eufy took a running leap, hoping to be free to clean the world… I will contact Amazon and Eufy support, but thought if anyone else shared our experience, the community might have a solution.
btw - Eufy’s requirement for fully supervised movement, notwithstanding, we think he’s great! In a home with 4 large shedding dogs, we wouldn’t breath without him… was even thinking of purchasing another one so he could have some help. Go Team Eufy!
