The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. The eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and includes a wireless remote control making it simple to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and has an endurance of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology lets you transfer from tile and wood to carpeting with a low-pile and area rugs without a hitch. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle detection and drop detection which allow it to prevent bumps against furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with many models. However certain features are common to all models. Boost IQ is one of these features, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area rugs. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes across a certain type of surface to ensure it is as clean as is possible.
Another feature that is useful is the ability to manually switch between various cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick 30 minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in a large space without changing modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the essential capabilities like obstacle and drop detection as well as self-emptying bases. Obstacle and drop detection is standard on all robots since it stops them from bumping into walls or furniture, while the latter prevents them from falling down stairs or into other areas that might be dangerous.
Many of the eufy robots have a variety LED indicators that 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 indicates that the eufy's running low on power and needs to return to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S is a top-rated robotic vacuum, is perfect for those seeking a powerful machine with a long-lasting running time. It can also get to the most remote corners of your home. It features a slim design that fits under furniture and in tight spaces, and a tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. There's also a physical remote control as well as smart sensors to help navigate, and a variety of cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum great for picking up food chunks, cereal crumbs, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors and carpets with a low-to-medium pile. It also sucks up pet hair and other tougher allergens off furniture upholstery. A rotating side brush can help 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 an app on your smartphone or via voice when paired with a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a compact charging station that can hold the vacuum cleaner when not being used.
All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with many standard features, including obstacle and drop detection to stop it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S and its re-engineered version, the eufyRoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that build and remember the virtual map of your floors so it can know where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) every time it cleans.
You can customize cleaning cycles or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum, and set specific areas to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. And you can also cordon off rooms that contain delicate items, like your kids' toys or console tables. This eufy model includes a pair of bundled boundary strips that let you secure larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums in our tests, earning the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to wake it up and an on/off switch below for a permanent shut-off. It also features an tempered-glass surface, ten sensors to avoid 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 that builds and stores an image of your floor. It uses this information to quickly navigate to every area of your home and make sure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Like many robotic vacuums that are available the models from eufy come with advanced features that let you manage your device remotely. This includes the ability 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 even let you create the map of your home and mark areas you'd like to get rid of.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners include a special navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping', which examines the floors in your home and creates a map it refers to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between plain floors and area rugs, and 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, 'Turbo', which boosts the machine's performance for cleaning floors that are not clean, and 'Max', which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is also outstanding and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default Standard mode. The vacuum also comes with a built-in battery indicator that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, turns pulsing orange when the machine is low on power, and then solidifies to blue when fully charged.
Another cool feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode, which allows you to force the vacuum to focus on a small specific area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to clean pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture in areas where an upright vacuum would have trouble.
The eufy RoboVac also does an admirable job of removing pet hair from various floor types, though it might need some additional passes to get rid of hairy areas that are stubborn in low- and high-pile carpeting. It's not as adept in getting hair out of crevices and cracks on carpeted floors as it is for naked floors. However it does an excellent job picking up pet fur from both naked and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, then automatically return to its charging base. It's able of working on several floors and comes with a powerful suction that can pick up anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks in a matter of minutes. robot vacuum mop and an additional side brush allow it to reach crevices and corners that are out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo vacuum works on carpets and hard floors, and it can be activated via the remote control that comes with it or via your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature that optimizes suction power based on the type of floor the vac is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy are designed to move around your home in a minimally-setup way. Simply attach the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi network in less than a minute. Once connected, the app allows users to create cleaning routines and utilize voice commands using a smart home speaker compatible.
Many eufy robots provide this level of personalization which lets you select the specific areas that you would like it to focus on and the times you'd like it to clean. The app allows you to set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from entering areas where there may be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Some eufy models include an intuitive map which uses sensors that calculate the location of walls and furniture and creates a route to cover the area. Others employ a more advanced navigational technology known as iPath. In these instances the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to create the path and follows it until the designated area is completely covered. The robot returns to its dock and starts charging and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robot vacuums do not have this level intelligence. These entry-level models, which are generally the most affordable in the line-up, don't use the digital mapping system, but instead draw a random zig-zag path each time they start a cleaning session. While this may be frustrating, the eufy robotic cleaner always covers the same areas. It is also not able to miss corners or other areas that are difficult to reach.
