The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot mop and vacuum combo vacuums are known for being easy to use. The eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and includes a wireless remote control to make it easy to use the app. It also has boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can transfer from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rugs without any hassle. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection, allowing it to keep from hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with several models. However, certain features are common to all. One of them is Boost IQ technology, which is designed to help your robot move seamlessly from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting as well as area rug. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs across a certain surface type in order to get the best clean possible.
Another great feature is the ability to change between various cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open area without having to switch modes, Edge, which will concentrate on your walls and corners and Spot that is best when there's a small space that requires attention, like baking soda spilled on the floor.
The eufy robot comes with all the basic features like obstacle and drop detectors and an automatic emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.
A number of the eufy robotics have a variety LED indicators that communicate with you, similar to an electronic watch. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode, while blue means that it's on and working and a solid red indicates that the eufy's low on power and needs to return to its base.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model and a good fit for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with a long run time as well as the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design is a good fit under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with a scratch-resistant tempered glass cover. There's also an actual remote control and smart sensors to help navigate, and a variety of cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction level of 2,000 pa makes this robot vacuum great to remove food pieces cereal crumbs, food particles, and other debris or dust on hard floors and carpets with a low-to-medium pile. It also removes pet hair and other allergens from upholstered furniture. The side-brush that rotates is useful for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick dust, dirt and other debris that stick to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and can be controlled by an app on your smartphone. It can also be controlled with voice commands when connected to an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a compact base for charging that can be used to store the vacuum when it is not in use.
All eufy robot vacuums come with a number of standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to prevent it from running into objects or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, provide advanced navigation systems that create and store an electronic map to know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle, set specific areas for the robot vacuum to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. Additionally, you can isolate rooms that contain fragile items, like the toys of your children or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips which allow you to secure larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums we tested and has received the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is minimalist with one button on the top to turn it on and an on/off switch beneath for a permanent turn-off and an tempered glass surface with ten infrared sensors to keep away from obstacles and the 0.15-gallons or 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device is equipped with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores the floor map. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each part of your home and ensure that it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models are equipped with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, designate virtual boundaries that prevent your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms full of electrical cords), and set the return to base feature. Some allow you to create an image of the house and mark the areas you wish to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping'. It analyzes the floors of your home and creates a map it refers to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between floors that are unfinished and area rugs, then back again, without skipping the step.
The eufy RoboVac 25C is a good example of this type of model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes that you can choose from its companion app: 'Standard', 'Turbo', which boosts the machine's performance for cleaning floors that are not clean, and 'Max', which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
The vacuum's battery life is also very good. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum comes with built-in indicator for the battery that flashes blue while it is charging, then turns orange when power is low, and finally is fully charged and solid blue.
Another cool feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode, which allows you to force the vacuum to concentrate on a tiny localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to clean pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture, in areas where an upright vacuum would struggle.
The elegant RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning on pet hair, but it might need to make some more passes in order to eliminate hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as effective in getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is with floors that are bare however, it does an overall excellent job of removing pet hair from both bare and carpeted surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can be cleaned for up to 100 minutes, and then it will automatically return to its charging base. It is able to work on multiple floors, and comes with powerful vacuums that can pick up anything from cereal crumbs to glitter specks. It has a sturdy brush roll, and an additional brush that helps it get into crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to reach.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is controlled using the remote control that comes with it or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smartphone or smart-home assistant. You can also adjust Boost IQ which can optimize the suction power based on the floor type on which the vacuum is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy is designed to move around your home in a minimally-setup manner. Simply attach the edge brush rotating and connect to your Wi-Fi network in only a few minutes. Once connected, you can make use of the app to create cleaning schedules and voice commands using a compatible smart home speaker.
This level of customization is offered on a wide range of elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose the areas you'd like it clean and when. The app lets you define virtual boundaries that stop the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Certain eufy products come with an intuitive map, which utilizes a combination of sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls. It then draws a route to cover them. Others use the navigational technology known as iPath, which is more advanced. In these cases the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to create a path, then follows it until the desired area is fully covered. The robot returns to its dock, where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy vacuums don't have this kind of intelligence. These entry-level models are usually the cheapest and do not use an electronic map system. Instead, they map a random path every when they start cleaning. While this may be frustrating but the eufy robot cleaner will always cover the same areas. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other difficult to access areas.
