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 a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also has boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ technology can move from tile and wood to carpeting with a low-pile and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection which allow it to prevent bumps against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line offers a wide variety of models, but there are some features that are common across their line. Boost IQ is one of those features that allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically increase suction power whenever it comes into contact with a particular type of surface to ensure it gets as clean as is possible.
A great feature is the ability to manually switch between 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.
The eufy robot has all the basic features, including obstacle and drop detectors as well as an auto-emptying base. The majority of robots come with an obstacle and drop detection. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.
Many of the eufy robotics come with a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, much like an electronic watch. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's working and on, and a solid orange means that your eufy is running out of power and must return to its home base.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model and an ideal choice for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with an extended run time and the ability to reach the farthest corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has an tempered glass cover that is scratch-resistant. It also has an actual remote control, 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
This vacuum cleaner features a powerful suction of 2,000 pa which is ideal for removing food crumbs, cereal crumbs and other dust or debris on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also removes pet hair as well as other allergens off furniture upholstery. A rotating side brush helps to get into corners and along baseboards, while the brush that rolls pulls dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled using a smartphone app or by voice when paired with a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging base that can hold the vacuum when it is not in use.
All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with a number of standard features, such as drop and obstacle detection to prevent it from running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S and its re-engineered eufy RoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that build and keep the virtual floor map so that it can know where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) every time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum, and set specific areas to not use the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. Additionally, you can block off rooms with delicate items, like your kids' toys or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to secure larger spaces.
The eufy RoboVac 11S Max is one of our most efficient robotic vacuums. It has received top marks in both navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, having a single button to wake it up, an on/off switch below to ensure a constant shut-off. It also has an tempered glass surface, ten sensors to steer away from obstacles, and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 liter dust bin. The re-engineered navigation system comes with iPath laser scanning technology that 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 inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Like many robotic vacuums available on the market Eufy's models have advanced features that let you control your device from a distance. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that prevent 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 a map of the house and mark the areas you would like to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system known as'smart mapping', which scans your home's floors and creates a map it refers to each cleaning. This lets the vacuum effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and then back again without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great example of this type of model. It has three suction power settings that you can choose through the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which improves the performance of the machine in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max" which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
The battery life is outstanding it allows the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum has built-in battery indicator which flashes blue when it's charging, then turns orange when the power is low, and then is fully charged and solid blue.
Another feature that is cool 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 ideal for getting crumbs or pet hair out of corners or from under furniture where a conventional vacuum would struggle to reach.
The eufy RoboVac does an excellent job on pet hair, but it may need to make some more passes in order to remove stubborn patches of hair from high and low pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as effective in removing hair from cracks and crevices as it is on floors that are unfinished however, it does a fantastic job of removing pet hair from carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with a self-return to its base to charge. It is able to work on multiple floors, and comes with a powerful vacuum that can clean everything from cereal pieces to glitter tiny specks. A durable brush roll and a side brush let it reach corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be operated using the remote control that comes with it or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also adjust Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power based on the kind of floor on which the vacuum is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy, is designed to move around your home in a minimalist manner. Simply attach the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once connected and you're able to make use of the app to create an agenda for cleaning and voice commands through an appropriate smart home speaker.
Many eufy robots offer this level of flexibility, which allows you to choose the specific areas you want to focus it on and when you want it to clean. The app lets you define virtual boundaries that stop the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map which uses a combination of sensors to determine the position of walls and furniture and creates a route to cover them. Others use a more sophisticated navigational system known as iPath. In these instances robot vacuums use an algorithm to intelligently create the path, and then follow it until it covers the area that is designated. The robot returns to its dock and starts charging in anticipation of its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuums do not have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models are typically the least expensive and do not employ the digital map system. Instead, they map a random path every when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating however, the robotic cleaner is always able to cover the same areas. It also doesn't miss corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
