The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. The eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and includes an wireless remote control making it simple to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology lets you move from tile and wood to carpeting with a low-pile and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include drop detection and obstacle detection that allow it to avoid bumping against furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line provides a wide range of models, however there are certain features that are standard across their entire line. Boost IQ is one of those features that allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard floors to medium to low pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically boost suction power when it comes into contact with a particular surface type to ensure it gets as clean as possible.
A great feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of your floor, Auto, which will operate in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on your walls and corners, and Spot, which works best when there's a small space that needs extra attention such as baking soda that has been spilled.
The eufy robot has all the basic features like drop and obstacle detection as well as an automatic emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This prevents them hitting walls or furniture.
Certain eufy robots come with LED indicators that tell you what they're doing like an electronic clock. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's working and on and a solid orange means that your eufy is running out of power and has to go back to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model and an ideal fit for those looking for a powerful robot vacuum with a long run time, including its ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design fits under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with a scratch-resistant, tempered glass cover. There's also an actual control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning modes. However, it doesn't have the same advanced features that some of the other models offer, like digital mapping or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This robot vacuum has a powerful suction of 2,000 psi that is ideal to remove cereal crumbs, food crumbs, and other debris or dust on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It also gets rid of pet hair, dust mites and other allergens off of upholstered furniture. A rotating side brush helps get into corners and along baseboards while the brush that rolls pulls up dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled using apps on smartphones or via voice when paired with a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robot vacuums come with many standard features, such as obstacle and drop detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S as well as its re-engineered version, the eufy RoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that build and store the virtual floor map so that it knows where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) every time it cleans.
You can designate specific areas and set up cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum without the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. You can also cordon off rooms that contain sensitive items, such as your children's toys or console tables. This eufy model includes a pair of bounding strips that allow you secure larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums that we have tested, earning the top marks for cleaning capabilities website and navigation. Its design is minimalist and has one button at the top to turn it on and an on/off switch under for a continuous shut-off, as well as a glass-tempered surface, ten infrared sensors to keep away from obstacles and the 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device comes with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores an image of your floor. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each room in your house and make sure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Similar to many robotic vacuums that are available the models from eufy come with smart features that let you manage your device remotely. You can plan cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to prevent your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and also use the'return back to base feature'. Some allow you to create a map of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system called'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it references every cleaning. This enables the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between bare floors and area rugs, then back again, without missing the step.
The eufy RoboVac 25C is a good example of this type of model. It has three distinct suction power modes can be selected through its app companion: Standard and 'Turbo'. This boosts the machine's performance for cleaning floors that are not clean and 'Max' that is designed for high pile carpeting.
The battery life is impressive and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum also features an internal indicator for batteries that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, then turns orange when the machine is low on power, and solidifies to blue once it's fully charged.
Another great feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode that allows you to force the vacuum to concentrate on a tiny localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great method to get pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture, in areas where an upright vacuum would have trouble.
The soft RoboVac also does an admirable job with pet hair on different flooring types, but it may require some additional passes to remove hairy patches that are difficult to remove from carpeting with a high or low pile. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as adept at getting hair out of crevices and cracks like it is on bare floors, but it does a great job of removing pet hair from carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning, with a self-return to its base for charging. It can be used on a variety of floors, and is equipped with a powerful vacuum that can clean everything from cereal pieces to glitter tiny specks. It has a durable brush roll, and a side brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots might not be able to reach.
The battery-powered robovac works on carpets and hard floors and can be activated via the remote control that comes with it or by using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also alter Boost IQ which can optimize the suction power based on the type of floor that the vac is working.
Like other eufy robots, the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home and requires only minimal installation. Snap on the edge brush rotating and connect to Wi-Fi in less than a minute. Once connected, you can make use of the app to create a cleaning schedule and voice commands through a compatible smart home speaker.
This level of personalization is available on many elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose the areas you'd like it to clean and when. The app allows you to set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical cords, or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map which uses sensors that determine the location of walls and furniture and creates a route to cover the area. Other models use a navigational technology called iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances, the robotic vacuum applies an algorithm to generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the specified area is fully covered. The robot then returns to its dock and charges and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robot vacuums do not have this level of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are usually the most affordable in the line-up, don't use a digital mapping system instead, they chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin a cleaning session. While this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same areas repeatedly. It also doesn't miss corners or other areas that are difficult to reach.
