The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. The eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and has an 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 lets you move from wood and tile to low-pile carpeting and area rug without a hitch. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle and drop detection, which lets it keep from hitting furniture or walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with a variety of models. However, certain features are common to all models. Boost IQ is one such feature, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes into contact with a particular surface type to make sure it gets as clean as possible.
An important feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will operate in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will really focus on your walls and corners and Spot, which works best when there's a small area that needs extra attention such as baking soda that has been spilled.
The eufy robot has all the essential features such as drop and obstacle detection 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.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that let you know what they're up to, similar to an electronic clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is charging or standby mode. Blue indicates it's active and functioning. And a solid orange means that your eufy has run out of power and requires to go back to its base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a highly rated robot vacuum, is the ideal choice for those who are looking for a powerful robot with a long running time. It is also able to reach the furthest corners of your home. Its slim design is a good fit under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has a scratch-resistant tempered glass cover. There's also an actual control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning options. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of debris or dust on hard floors as well as carpets with a low-to-medium pile. It also gets rid of dust mites, pet hair and other allergens off of upholstered furnishings. The rotating side brush can be useful in reaching into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks dust, dirt and other debris that stick to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled via a smartphone app or by voice when it is connected to smart home speakers such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.
All eufy robotic cleaners come with a number standard features. They include obstacle and drop detection, which keeps it from running into objects or falling down stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the RoboVac 30C Max offer advanced navigation systems which create and memorize an electronic map to know where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. You can also cordon off sensitive areas, like areas that house toys for children or console tables. This eufy model also comes with a pair of bounding strips that allow you cordon off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is among the most efficient robotic vacuums that we have tested, earning the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, with a single button to get it going and an on/off switch below for a continuous shut-off. It also has a 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 an image of your floor. The system then uses this information to quickly navigate to each room in your house and ensure that it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models are equipped with sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, designate virtual boundaries that stop your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are robot vacuum stuffed with electrical cords), and set the return to base feature. Some allow you to create a map of the house and mark the areas you want to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners include a special navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping'. It examines the floors in your home and builds a map that it refers to each cleaning. This enables the vacuum cleaner to seamlessly move between bare floors and area rugs, and then back again, without missing a step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a perfect illustration of this kind of model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes you can select through its app companion: Standard as well as 'Turbo' which enhances the performance of the machine for cleaning bare floors, and 'Max', that is designed for high pile carpeting.
The vacuum's battery life is also very good. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum also features a built-in battery indicator that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, then turns orange when the machine is low in power, and then changes to blue once it's fully charged.
Another great feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode, which lets you force the vacuum to focus on a small localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great way to get pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or under furniture, in areas where an upright vacuum would have trouble.
The soft RoboVac does a great job of removing pet hair, but it may need to make several more passes to get rid of hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. Like most robotic cleaners, it's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on bare floors however, it does a great job of picking up pet hair from both carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of clean-up, with a self-return to its base to charge. It's able of working on multiple floors and comes equipped with a powerful suction system that can take everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks in a matter of minutes. A durable brush roll and a side brush help it reach corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo vacuum works on hard floors and carpets, and it can be controlled via the included remote control or via your smart home or smartphone assistant to transmit commands via Wi-Fi. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power based on the type of floor the vac is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy is designed to move around your home in a simple way. 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 create an cleaning routine and also use voice commands via a smart home speaker that is compatible with.
Many eufy robots offer this level of customization which lets you select the specific areas you want it to focus on and when you want it to clean. The app lets you define virtual boundaries that stop the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical cords, or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map that uses sensors to calculate the position of furniture and walls, and shows a route for covering the area. Other models use a navigational technology called iPath, which is more sophisticated. In these cases the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to create an iPath path, and then follows it until the specified area is completely covered. The robot returns to its dock, from where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuums do not have this level intelligence. These entry-level models, which are generally the most expensive in the range they don't have the digital mapping system, but instead draw an unpredictably zig-zag route every time they begin cleaning. While this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same areas repeatedly. It is also not able to miss corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
