The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has an remote control that allows for easy use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can transfer from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include drop detection and obstacle detection that allow it to avoid hitting walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line includes several models. However certain features are common to all models. One such feature is Boost IQ technology specifically designed to aid your robot effortlessly move from hard floors to low- to medium-pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase suction power whenever it comes across a certain surface type to make sure it is as clean as it can.
A useful feature is the ability to manually switch between cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is perfect for a 30 minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will concentrate on your walls and corners, and Spot that is best when there's a small area that requires attention, such as spilled baking soda.
The eufy robot comes with all the basic features, including drop and obstacle detectors as well as an auto-emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is standard for most robots because it stops them from bumping into walls or furniture and also helps them avoid falling down stairs or other places that might be dangerous.
A number of the eufy robots also come with a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, much like a digital watch. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's active and working, and a solid orange means that your eufy is running low on power and needs to return to its base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S, a top-rated robot vacuum, is the ideal choice for those who are looking for a robust robot with a long running time. It also has the ability to get to the most remote corners of your house. It's an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and tight spaces, as well as the glass cover is tempered and resistant to scratches. It also has a physical remote control as well as smart sensors for navigation, and multiple cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, including digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum ideal to remove food pieces cereal crumbs, food particles, and other debris or dust on hard floors as well as low- to medium-pile carpeting. It also collects pet hair as well as other allergens off furniture upholstery. The side brush that rotates is useful for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks dust, dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled using apps on smartphones or via voice when connected to a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.
All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with several standard features, such as obstacle and drop detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S and its re-engineered successor the eufy RoboVac 30C MAX, have advanced navigation systems that build and remember a virtual floor map so that it can know where to go (and where to avoid) every time it cleans.
You can create specific areas and set up cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum, without the Alexa compatible app or voice commands. You can also block off rooms with sensitive items, such as the toys of your children or console tables. This eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to secure larger spaces.
The eufy RoboVac11S Max is among our most efficient robotic vacuums, receiving high marks in navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, having one button to start it up, an on/off switch below to ensure a constant shut-off. It also comes with an tempered-glass surface, ten sensors to steer away from obstacles and a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. Its redesigned navigation system is equipped with iPath technology that creates and stores a floor map for your floor. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each area of the house and ensure it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models are equipped with smart features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to set cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that stop your
Robot Vacuum Mops from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are stuffed with electrical cords) and set the return to base feature. Some even let you create an outline of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.
Some of the top-of-the-line vacuum cleaners that eufy makes use of include the navigation system known as "smart mapping" that scans your house and creates an image of the map it is referring to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between floors that are unfinished and area rugs, then back to the beginning, without missing the step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great example of this type of model. It has three distinct suction power modes that you can choose from its companion app: 'Standard' as well as 'Turbo' which enhances the performance of the machine for cleaning bare floors, and 'Max', which is designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is excellent and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum also features an inbuilt indicator for batteries that blinks blue when the vacuum is charging, turns pulsing orange when it's low in power, and then changes to blue once it's fully charged.
Another cool feature is the 'Spot Cleaning' mode that allows you to make the vacuum focus on a small, localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great way to clean pet hair or dust from tight corners or under furniture, where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The elegant RoboVac also does a fantastic job with pet hair on various floor types, though it might need several more passes to remove hairy patches that are difficult to remove from carpeting with a high or low pile. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on bare floors but it does a great job of removing pet hair from both bare and carpeted surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning, with an automatic return to its base for charging. It is able to work on multiple floors, and is equipped with a powerful vacuum that can clean everything from cereal pieces to glitter particles. A tough brush roll as well as an additional side brush allow it to reach the corners and crevices that are out of reach for other robots.
The robo-vacuum powered by batteries can be operated using the remote control that comes with it or by sending commands over Wi-Fi using your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also alter Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power according to the type of floor that the vac is working.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home with minimal installation. It takes only a few minutes to connect the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your Wi-Fi network at home. Once connected, the app lets you to set up an cleaning routine and also use voice commands via a smart home speaker compatible.
This level of customization is available on many robot vacuums that are eufy. You can choose the areas you'd like it clean and when. The app lets you create virtual boundaries that block the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map that makes use of sensors that calculate the position of furniture and walls and plots a route to cover the area. Other models employ a navigational technology called iPath which is a more advanced. In these cases the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to generate the path and follows it until the designated area is covered. The robot returns to its dock and is charged and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robot vacuum do not have this level of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are generally the most affordable in the line-up do not have an electronic mapping system, but instead chart a random zig-zag path each time they start cleaning. While this may be frustrating but the eufy robot cleaner is always able to cover the same areas. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other difficult to reach places.
