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 comes with a wireless remote control to make it easy to use the app. It also has boundary strips and the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology can easily move from tile, wood and area rugs, to low-pile and area rugs. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle and drop detection, allowing it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has several 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 floors to medium to low pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes across a specific type of surface to ensure that you get the most effective cleaning possible.
Another useful feature is the ability to manually switch between a variety of 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 is equipped with all the basic features like drop and obstacle detectors as well as an automatic emptying base. Drop detection and obstacle detection is a common feature on most robots as it helps them avoid hitting furniture or walls and also prevents them from falling down stairs or other places that might be dangerous.
Some of the eufy robots have a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, much like a digital watch. A solid green indicates that the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue indicates it's on and working. A solid orange indicates that your eufy is out of power and needs to be returned to its home base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model and an ideal fit for those who want an effective robot vacuum with a long run time as well as the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design is a good fit under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with an tempered glass cover that is scratch-resistant. There's also an actual remote control, 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, such as digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This robot vacuum has an impressive suction of 2,000 pa which is ideal to remove cereal crumbs, food crumbs, and other particles of dust and debris on low- to medium pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also gets rid of pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from 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 connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled from a smartphone app or by voice when connected to a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small base for charging that can be used to store the vacuum when not in use.
All Eufy robot vacuums have a number of standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to avoid running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S as well as its re-engineered eufy RoboVac 30C MAX even offer advanced navigation systems that create and store the virtual floor map so it can know where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) each time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle, set specific areas for the robot vacuum to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. You can also secure sensitive areas, like areas that house toys for children or console tables. This eufy model comes with a pair of border strips that can be bundled to let you cordon off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac11S Max is among our top-performing robotic vacuums, earning high marks in cleaning and navigation. Its design is simple, having a single button to get it going and an on/off switch below for a continuous shut-off. It also comes with an tempered-glass surface and ten sensors to avoid obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device comes with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores the floor map. It then uses that map to swiftly navigate to every part of your home and ensure it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Like many robotic vacuums on the market the models from eufy come with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, define virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms full of electrical cords), and set the'return to base' feature. Some even let you draw a the map of your home and mark areas you want to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system known as'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it uses every cleaning. This allows the vacuum cleaner to seamlessly move between floors that are unfinished and area rugs, then back to the beginning, without missing one step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great example of this type of model. It has three distinct suction power modes that can be selected through its companion app: 'Standard' and 'Turbo'. This increases the efficiency of the machine when cleaning bare floors and 'Max' which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
The battery life of the vacuum is also impressive. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum also has an internal indicator for batteries that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, turns pulsing orange when it's low on power, and solidifies to blue when it's fully charged.
Another great feature is the 'Spot Cleaning mode that lets you make the vacuum focus on a small localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is great for getting crumbs or pet hair out of corners or from under furniture where a conventional vacuum might struggle to reach.
The soft RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning on pet hair, however it might need to make a few more passes to get rid of hairy patches that are difficult to remove from both high and low pile carpeting. It's not as good in taking hair off of crevices and cracks on carpeted floors as it is for bare floors. However, it does a great job of picking up pet fur from bare top robot vacuum and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, then automatically return to its charging base. It's capable of working across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction unit that can pick up anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks with ease. A durable brush roll and an additional side brush allow it to reach corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be operated using the remote control included or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also alter Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power according to the type of floor that the vac is working.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to be able to work in your home and requires the least amount of set-up. It takes just a minute to snap on the rotating edge brushes and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once it's connected and you're able to use the app to create a cleaning schedule and voice commands using an appropriate smart home speaker.
Many eufy robots provide this level of flexibility, which allows you to select the specific areas that you want to focus it on and the time you would like it to clean. The application also lets you create virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd rather not vacuum up.
Some eufy models include an intuitive map which uses sensors to calculate the location of furniture and walls and creates a route to cover the area. Others employ a more advanced navigational technology called iPath. In these instances the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to intelligently generate a path, then follows it until the designated area is completely covered. The robot then returns to its dock, where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuums don't possess this level of intelligence. The entry-level models are typically the cheapest and do not utilize the digital map system. Instead, they map an undetermined path each when they start cleaning. 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 difficult-to-access areas.
