That doesn't make the person's comments justified in any way though because they aren't really related at all. Yes, scummy company probably will continue to do scummy stuff but every company is scummy. There is no connection between them being shady with your data and buying reviews. If they have, then I rescind the comment but it doesn't help the original person's case that they aren't elaborating but are just throwing baseless accusations. Being worried about your privacy due to eufy=Anker is fine criticism for potential buyers by itself.
I did not know Eufy was an Anker brand. I did know about their camera privacy fiasco. The x10 pro claims "X10 Pro Omni only uses images to recognize obstacles, but never saves them to protect your family's privacy. It's also certified with TUV Rheinland ETSI EN 303 645 cyber security standards for added peace of mind."
Here's what odd. Looking at that standard: https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi...20101p.p
Section 6 seems to be the most relevant:
strictly technical perspective.
Provision 6-1 The manufacturer shall provide consumers with clear and transparent information about what personal data is processed, how it is being used, by whom, and for what purposes, for each device and service. This also applies
to third parties that can be involved, including advertisers.
Provision 6-2 Where personal data is processed on the basis of consumers' consent, this consent shall be obtained in a valid way. Obtaining consent "in a valid way" normally involves giving consumers a free, obvious and explicit opt-in choice of whether their personal data can be used for a specified purpose.
Provision 6-3 Consumers who gave consent for the processing of their personal data shall have the capability to withdraw it at any time. Consumers expect to be able to preserve their privacy by configuring IoT device and service functionality appropriately.
Provision 6-4 If telemetry data is collected from consumer IoT devices and services, the processing of personal data should be kept to the minimum necessary for the intended functionality.
Provision 6-5 If telemetry data is collected from consumer IoT devices and services, consumers shall be provided with information on what telemetry data is collected, how it is being used, by whom, and for what purposes.
What I found more odd is, they apparently applied strict standards for their cameras after the privacy fiasco, but these vacuums don't adhere to these standards, or at least, it's not listed as a product that adheres to their privacy commitment:

Given this, I decided to pass and wait to see how this does after some time in the wild and some analysis from security pros.
*Edit* also worth noting, per the "what's in the box" section, it doesn't appear to include the mop cleaning solution, so if you are buying one, you probably want to add that to your cart too.

Buying reviews and callously violating privacy law are both shady things, and even more reason not to buy anything from Anker/Eufy.
I have the X10, just haven't used the mopping feature yet.
