The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are famous for their user-friendly. The Eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes a remote control for convenient application operation. It also has boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ technology can move from tile and wood to carpeting with low pile and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include obstacle detection and drop detection, which allows it to avoid bumping against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with several models. However, certain features are common to all. One of these features is Boost IQ technology that is designed to help your robot effortlessly move from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting as well as area rugs. It will automatically increase its suction power when it comes over a particular type of surface to ensure that you get the best possible clean.
A useful feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without having to switch modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on the corners and walls, and Spot that is best when there's a small space that requires extra attention, like spilled baking soda.
Of course, the eufy robot also has the basic capabilities like drop and obstacle detection as well as a self-emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This stops them from hitting furniture or walls.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that inform you of what they are doing, similar to a digital clock. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode, while blue indicates that it's on and working, and a solid orange indicates that the eufy's running low on power and must return to its base.
The RoboVac 11S is a top-rated robotic vacuum, is perfect for those who are looking for a powerful robot with a long run time. It can also be able to reach the farthest corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has a scratch-resistant tempered glass cover. There is also an actual control, smart sensors to help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning modes. It doesn't come with a lot of the advanced features that some of the other models do, such as digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum ideal to remove food pieces, cereal crumbs, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors and carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also removes dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstery furnishings. A rotating side-brush helps to get into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush pulls up dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled via apps on smartphones or via voice when it is connected to a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner while not in use.
All Eufy robot vacuums have several standard features, including drop and obstacle detection to prevent it from running into objects or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, provide advanced navigation systems that create and store an electronic map to know where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can customize cleaning cycles, set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum, and set specific areas to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. You can also isolate rooms that contain delicate items, like your kids' toys or console tables. This model includes a pair of bundled boundary strips that let you secure larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums in our tests and has received high marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is pared-back, with just one button on the top to turn it on and an on/off switch underneath to turn off the vacuum permanently and an tempered glass surface and ten infrared sensors that avoid obstacles, and an 0.15-gallons of 0.6-liter dust bin. The re-engineered navigation system comes with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores an image of your floor. It then uses that information to swiftly navigate to every area of the house and make sure 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 allows you to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that prevent your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms stuffed with electrical cords), and set the return to base feature. Some of them allow you to draw a an outline of your home 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 examines the floors in your home and builds a map that it references every cleaning. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs, and back to the original location without missing any steps.
The RoboVac 25C, which is eufy, is a perfect illustration of this kind of model. It has three distinct suction power settings that can be selected through its app companion: Standard and 'Turbo'. This boosts the machine's performance for cleaning floors with no carpet and 'Max' which is 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 mins. The vacuum comes with a built in indicator for the battery that blinks blue when it is charging, then changes to orange when power is low, and then it turns blue when fully charged.
The 'Spot Cleaning Mode' is a cool feature. It lets you make the vacuum cleaner concentrate on a specific area, by pressing a button on the base of the. This is a great way to get pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or from under furniture where a conventional vacuum might struggle to reach.
The elegant RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning on pet hair, but it might need to make a few more passes to get rid of hairy patches from high and low pile carpeting. It's not as adept at taking hair off of crevices and cracks on carpeted floors as it is on naked floors. However it does a fantastic job of picking up pet fur from both naked and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of clean-up, with automatic return to its base to charge. It is able to work on multiple floors, and comes with a powerful vacuum that can pick up anything from cereal crumbs to glitter tiny specks. A durable brush roll and a side brush help it reach the corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is controlled using the remote control that comes with it or by sending commands over Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature that optimizes suction power based on the type of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to be able to work in your home and requires the least amount of setup. It takes just a minute to snap on the edge brushes rotating in a robot cleaner and mop circular motion and connect to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected to the internet, you can make use of the app to design a cleaning schedule and voice commands via the compatible smart speaker.
This level of personalization is available on many elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose the areas you'd like it clean and when. The app can also set virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to clean up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls, and creates a route to cover them. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath which is a more advanced. In these cases the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to intelligently generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the desired area is completely covered. The robot then returns to its dock and charges, waiting for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuums do not have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are typically the cheapest in the lineup they don't have an electronic mapping system, but instead chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin cleaning. While this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot always manages to cover the same areas over and over again. It also doesn't miss corners or other areas that are difficult to reach.
