eufy RoboVac 11S MAX: is it worth it long term?

A slim, budget robot vacuum with stronger 2000Pa suction than the standard 11S, controlled with a remote instead of an app and using bump-and-go navigation. The 11S line has a reputation for simple, durable value, with the main long-term chores being tidying floors, rescuing it from rugs and eventually replacing the battery.
