The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
self emptying robot vacuum lets you move from wood and tile to low-pile carpeting and area rug without any hassle. Other standard features include drop and obstacle detection, which allows it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy line of robot vacuums offers a wide variety of models, however there are certain features that are standard across their lineup. One of these features is Boost IQ technology specifically designed to aid your robot effortlessly move from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting and carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it runs over a particular type of surface in order to get the best possible clean.
A useful 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 an area with a lot of space without switching modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
Of course, the eufy robotic also comes with basic features like obstacle and drop detection, as well as self-emptying bases. Obstacle and drop detection is pretty standard on all robots since it prevents them from bumping into walls or furniture, while the latter keeps them from falling down stairs or other areas that could be hazardous.
Some eufy robots have LED indicators that let you know what they're up to, similar to an electronic clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue indicates that it is on and working. And a solid orange indicates that your eufy has run out of power and requires to return to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a top-rated model that's an ideal fit for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with a long run time, including its ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has a scratch-resistant, tempered glass cover. It also has an actual remote control and 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 app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner features an impressive suction power of 2,000 psi which is ideal to remove food crumbs, cereal particles, and other debris or dust on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also removes pet hair and other tougher allergens from upholstered furniture. The side-brush that rotates is great for getting into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks up dust, dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and can be controlled via an app for smartphones. It can also be controlled with voice commands when used with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robot vacuums come with several standard features, such as drop and obstacle detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Some models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered successor the eufy RoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that create and remember the virtual floor map so it is aware of where to go (and the best places to stay away from) every time it cleans.
You can customize cleaning cycles, set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. And you can also cordon off rooms that contain sensitive items, such as your children's toys or console tables. This eufy model comes with two border strips that can be bundled to let you cordon off larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is among the most efficient robotic vacuums in our tests and has received the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is minimalist and has one button on the top to wake it up and an on/off switch under for a permanent turn-off and an tempered glass surface and ten infrared sensors that keep away from obstacles and a 0.15-gallons of 0.6-liter dust bin. The new navigation system is equipped iPath technology that creates and stores a map for your floor. It uses this information to swiftly navigate to every area of your home and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Like many robotic vacuums on the market Eufy's models have advanced features that let you manage your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, define virtual boundaries that prevent your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms full of electrical cords), and set the'return to base' feature. Some allow you to create a map of the house and mark the areas you want to clean.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system known as'smart mapping'. It analyzes the floors of your home and builds a map that it references every cleaning. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly transition from plain floors to area rugs, and back to the original location without missing any steps.
The eufy RoboVac 25C, for example, is a fantastic example of this model. It has three different suction power settings that you can choose using the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the machine's performance when cleaning bare floors and "Max" which is designed to clean flooring with high piles.
Its battery performance is excellent it allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with an inbuilt indicator for the battery that flashes blue when it's charging, then changes to orange when power is low, and finally it turns blue when fully charged.
Another great feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode, which allows you to force the vacuum to concentrate on a tiny specific area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to remove pet hair or dust from tight corners and under furniture, which is where a traditional upright vacuum would have trouble.
The soft RoboVac does a great job on pet hair, but it may require several more passes in order to get rid of hairy patches that are difficult to remove from low- and high pile carpeting. It's not as effective at removing hair from cracks and crevices on carpeted floors as it is on bare floors. However, it does a great job of removing pet fur from bare and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with an automatic return to its base for charging. It's able to work across multiple floors and comes equipped with a powerful suction unit that can take everything from chunks of cereal to glitter specks in a matter of minutes. A durable brush roll and an additional side brush allow it to reach corners and crevices that are out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be operated using the remote control included or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power depending on what type of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home with minimal installation. Simply attach the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi network in less than a minute. Once connected, you can use the app to create cleaning schedules and voice commands via the compatible smart speaker.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of customization, which allows you to choose the specific areas you would like it to focus on and the times you'd like it to clean. The application can also set virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there may be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to sweep up.
Some of the eufy models include an intuitive map that uses a combination sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls. It then draws a route to cover the area. Some models employ a more advanced navigational technology known as iPath. In these cases, a robotic vacuum uses an algorithm that creates a path and then follows it until he covers the area that is designated. The robot returns to its dock, where it is charged and waits for its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robotic vacuum do not have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are generally the cheapest in the lineup they don't have a digital mapping system but instead chart an unpredictably zig-zag route each time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot is always able to cover the same spots over and over again. Moreover, it rarely does not miss any corners or other hard to reach areas.
