The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are known for being easy to use. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has the remote control for simple app operation. It also comes with boundary strips and the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology allows you to move from wood and tile to carpeting with a low-pile and area rugs without a hitch. Other features that are standard include obstacle and drop detection which allow it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with several models. However, certain features are common to all models. One of them is Boost IQ technology that is specifically designed to aid your robot effortlessly move from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting and rug. It will automatically increase its suction power when it comes across a certain surface type in order to get the most effective cleaning possible.
Another great feature is the ability to 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 a large space without changing modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
The eufy robot has all the basic features like drop and obstacle detectors and an automatic emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is pretty standard for most robots because it stops them from bumping into walls or furniture and also helps them avoid falling down stairs or other places that might be dangerous.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that inform you of what they're up to similar to the digital clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's working and on and a solid red means that your eufy is running out of power and needs to return to its base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model that's an ideal choice for those who want a powerful robot vacuum with an extended run time and the ability to reach the most remote 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 a physical control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning options. It doesn't come with many of the sophisticated features that other models in the line offer, like digital mapping or app-based control.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner features a powerful suction of 2,000 pa which is ideal for removing cereal crumbs, food crumbs, and other dust or debris on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It also removes pet hair as well as other allergens off furniture upholstery. A rotating side brush can help reach into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush pulls dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and can be controlled by an app on your smartphone. It can also be controlled via voice commands when connected to an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a handy charging station that holds the vacuum cleaner when not being used.
All Eufy robot vacuums have several standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, offer advanced navigation systems which create and memorize a virtual map to know where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. And you can also block off rooms with fragile items, like your children's toys or console tables. This eufy has two boundary strips which allow you to fence off larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is among the top-performing robotic vacuums we tested, earning the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, having one button to wake it up and an on/off switch beneath for a continuous shut-off. It also comes with an tempered glass surface and ten sensors to steer away from obstacles and a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its redesigned navigation system is equipped iPath technology that creates and stores a map for your floor. The system then uses this information to quickly navigate to each room in your house and make sure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models are equipped with sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that stop your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms stuffed with electrical cords) and set the return to base feature. Some even let you create a map of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping'. It analyzes the floors of your home and creates a map it refers to each time it cleans. This lets the vacuum effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and back again without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a good example of this type of model. It comes with three suction power settings that you can choose through the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the performance of the machine when cleaning bare floors and "Max" which is specifically designed to clean floors with high piles.
The battery life of the vacuum is also impressive. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum has an inbuilt indicator for the battery that blinks blue when it is charging, and then turns orange when power is low, and then it turns blue when fully charged.
Another feature that is cool is the 'Spot Cleaning' mode that lets you force the vacuum to focus on a small localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great way to remove pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture, where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The eufy RoboVac does an excellent job on pet hair, but it may require a few more passes in order to eliminate hairy patches that are difficult to remove from low- and high pile carpeting. It's not as good in getting hair out of cracks and crevices on carpeted floors as it is with bare floors. However it does an excellent job picking up pet fur from both bare and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can be cleaned for up to 100 minutes, and then it will automatically return to its charging base. It can work on multiple floors and comes with powerful vacuums that can clean everything from cereal pieces to glitter specks. It has a durable brush roll, and an additional brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to reach.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is controlled using the remote control provided or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi using your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also alter 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 elegant robotics is designed to move around your home in a minimally-setup manner. Attach the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once connected, you can make use of the app to design an agenda for cleaning and voice commands through a compatible smart home speaker.
This level of customization is available on a variety of elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose which areas you'd like it to clean and when. The app lets you set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical cords, or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map that uses sensors to determine the location of walls and furniture and shows a route for covering the area. Others use a more sophisticated navigational technology known as iPath. In these cases the robot vacuum employs an algorithm to intelligently create an iPath path, and then follow it until it covers the specified area. The robot returns to its dock, from where it charges and awaits its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuum don't have this level of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are typically the cheapest in the lineup do not have an electronic mapping system, instead, they here chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin cleaning. Although this can be frustrating at times, the robot always manages to cover the same areas over and over again. It also rarely does not miss any corners or other difficult to access areas.
