The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with the remote control for simple application operation. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology allows you to transfer from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rugs without a hitch. Other features that are standard include obstacle and drop detection, which lets it keep from hitting furniture or walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy line of robot vacuums offers a wide variety of models, but there are certain features that are common across their lineup. Boost IQ is one such feature, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically boost suction power when it encounters a specific surface type to ensure it gets as clean as possible.
Another great feature is the ability to change between various cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick 30-minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in the vast space without changing modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the basic capabilities such as drop detection and obstacle detection as well as self-emptying bases. Most robots have an obstacle and drop detection. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.
Some eufy robots have LED indicators that inform you of what they're doing like the digital clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is in charging or standby mode. Blue indicates that it is on and working. And a solid orange means that your eufy has run out of power and requires to be returned to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy, a top-rated robot vacuum, is ideal for those who are looking for a robust robot with a long run time. It can also be able to reach the farthest corners of your home. It features a slim design that fits under furniture and tight spaces, and the glass cover is tempered and scratch resistant. It also has a physical control as well as smart sensors that help with navigation, and different cleaning modes. It's missing some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This robot vacuum has an impressive suction of 2,000 pa, which is great for removing cereal crumbs, food particles, and other particles of dust and debris on medium to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It can also remove pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards while the rolling brush picks dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled via an app on your smartphone or via voice when connected to smart home speakers such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also has a compact charging base that can hold the vacuum when it is not in use.
All eufy robotic vacuums include many standard features. They include obstacle and drop detection, which stops it from hitting objects or falling down stairs. Some models, like the eufy RoboVac11S and its re-engineered successor the eufyRoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that build and keep the virtual map of your floors so it knows where to go (and where to avoid) each time it cleans.
You can create specific areas and customize cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum, without the Alexa compatible app or voice controls. You can also secure sensitive areas, like those containing your children's toys or console tables. This eufy comes with two boundary strips that permit you to secure larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S Max is one of our top-performing robotic vacuums, receiving high marks in navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, having one button to wake it up and an on/off switch below for a permanent shut-off. It also has an tempered glass surface and ten sensors to steer away from obstacles, and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device is fitted with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores a map of your floor. It utilizes this information to swiftly navigate to each area of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models are equipped with sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, define virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are stuffed with electrical cords) and set the return to base feature. Some of them allow you to draw a an image of the house and mark the areas you would like to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system called'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it references every time it cleans. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and then back without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a perfect illustration of this kind of model. It comes with three suction power settings that can be selected through the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the here machine's performance in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max" which is designed to clean flooring with high piles.
Its battery performance is excellent, allowing the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with built-in indicator for batteries that flashes blue while it is charging, then changes to orange when the power is low, and then is fully charged and solid blue.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is a amazing feature. It lets you use the vacuum cleaner to concentrate on a specific area by pressing a button on the base. This is a great way to get pet hair or dust from tight corners and under furniture which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The eufy RoboVac also does an admirable job of removing pet hair from various floor types, though it may require several more passes to clear hairy patches that are difficult to remove from low- and high-pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on floors that are unfinished, but it does an overall excellent job of picking up pet hair from carpeted and un-floored surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with automatic return to its base to charge. It's able to work across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction unit that can pick up everything from chunks of cereal to glitter specks with ease. It has a sturdy brush roll as well as an additional brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to reach.
The robo-vacuum powered by batteries can be operated via the remote control that comes with it or by sending commands via Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power according to the kind of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots, the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home and requires the least amount of set-up. It takes just a minute to connect the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once it's connected to the internet, you can use the app to create cleaning schedules and voice commands through an appropriate smart home speaker.
Many eufy robots provide this level of personalization, which allows you to select the specific areas that you want to focus it on and when you want it to clean. The application also lets you set virtual boundaries, which are used to stop the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to sweep up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls, and plots a route to cover them. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances the robot vacuum employs an algorithm to create an iPath path, and then follow it until it covers the specified area. The robot then returns to its dock and is charged and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuum do not have this level intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the most affordable and don't use a digital map system. Instead, they chart an undetermined path each when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot is always able to cover the same spots repeatedly. In addition, it never fails to cover corners or other hard to access areas.
