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 wireless remote controls that makes it easy to use the app. It also has boundary strips and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology is able to move from tile, wood and area rugs to low-pile or area rug. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle detection and drop detection that allow it to avoid hitting walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy line of robot vacuums has a variety of models, but there are some features that are common across their line. Boost IQ is one such feature, which helps your robot move smoothly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area rugs. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes across a certain surface type to ensure it gets as clean as is possible.
An important feature is the ability to manually switch between cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open area without having to switch modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on your walls and corners, and Spot that is best when there's a small space that requires attention, such as baking soda spilled on the floor.
The eufy robot comes with all the basic features like drop and obstacle detection as well as an auto-emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is pretty standard on most robots as it helps them avoid bumping into walls or furniture, while the latter keeps them from falling down stairs or other areas which could pose danger.
A number of the eufy robotics have a variety LED indicators that can communicate with you, much like the digital watches. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's on and working and a solid orange indicates that the eufy's low on power and needs to return to its base.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a top-rated model that's an ideal fit for those who want an effective robot vacuum with a long run time, including its ability to reach the farthest corners of your home. It has an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's scratch resistant. It also has an actual control as well as smart sensors that help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning options. However, it lacks the same advanced features that some of the other models in the line include, such as digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks, cereal crumbs, and other dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors as well as low- to medium-pile carpeting. It also collects pet hair as well as other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush picks dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled using apps on smartphones or via 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 several standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to avoid running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered predecessor the RoboVac 30C Max provide advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map to help it know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) each time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles or set specific areas to the robot vacuum to not use the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. Additionally, you can block off rooms with fragile items, like the toys of your children or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips that permit you to fence off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac11S Max is among our top-performing robotic vacuums, receiving the top marks for cleaning and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to wake it up, an on/off switch below to ensure a constant shut-off. It also comes with an tempered glass surface with ten sensors that help steer away from obstacles, and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. The re-engineered navigation system is fitted with iPath laser scanning technology that builds and stores an image of your floor. It utilizes this information to swiftly navigate to each area of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models come with intelligent features that allow you to control 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 full of electrical cords), and set the return to base feature. Some let you create a map of the house and mark the areas you would like to clean.
The top of the line robotic cleaners from eufy include the navigation system known as "smart mapping" that scans your home and builds maps it uses each time it cleans. This enables the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between bare floors and area rugs, and then back again, without skipping one step.
The RoboVac 25C, for example, is a perfect example of this model. It has three different suction power settings that can be selected via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the performance of the machine when cleaning floors that are not clean and "Max", which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
Its battery performance is also excellent, allowing the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its default Standard mode. The vacuum has an inbuilt indicator for batteries that flashes blue when it's charging, then turns orange when the power is low, and then solidifies blue when fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is a cool feature. It lets you make the vacuum cleaner concentrate on a specific area by pressing a button on the base. This is a great way to get pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners and under furniture which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The elegant RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning of removing pet hair, but it may require some more passes to remove hairy patches from low- and high pile carpeting. It's not as good at taking hair off of cracks and crevices on carpeted floors as it is for naked floors. However it does a fantastic job picking up pet fur from both naked and read more covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning, with a self-return to its base to charge. It can work on multiple floors, and is equipped with an efficient vacuum that can pick up everything from cereal pieces to glitter specks. It comes with a tough brush roll, as well as an additional brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots might not be able to reach.
The battery-powered robo vacuum works on carpets and hard floors and can be controlled via the remote control included or by using your smartphone or smart home assistant to transmit commands via Wi-Fi. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power based on the type of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home, with the least amount of set-up. It takes just a minute to snap on the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, you can make use of the app to create cleaning schedules and voice commands using an appropriate smart home speaker.
This level of personalization is offered on a wide range of eufy robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose which areas you'd like to clean and when. The application also lets you set virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to sweep up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses sensors that determine the location of furniture and walls, and creates a route to cover them. Others use a more sophisticated navigational technology known as iPath. In these cases the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to intelligently generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the designated area is fully covered. The robot then returns to its dock where it charges and awaits its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuums do not possess this level of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are usually the cheapest in the lineup do not have the digital mapping system, instead, they chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating however, the robotic cleaner will always cover the same areas. It also rarely does not miss any corners or other hard to reach areas.
