The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and includes an wireless remote control to make it easy to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and an endurance of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology lets you move from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rugs without any hassle. Other features included in the standard package include drop and obstacle detection, which allows it to keep from hitting walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robot vacuum line offers a wide variety of models, however there are some features that are common across their entire line. Boost IQ is one of these features, which helps your robot move smoothly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs across a certain surface type to ensure that you get the most effective cleaning possible.
Another great feature is the ability to switch between various cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of the floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on the corners and walls, and Spot that is best when there's a small space that requires attention, like baking soda that has been spilled.
The eufy robot comes with all the essential features such as obstacle and drop detectors as well as an automatic emptying base. The majority of robots come with an obstacle and drop detection. This stops them from hitting furniture or walls.
Some of the eufy robots also have a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, much like the digital watches. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's working and on and a solid orange means that your eufy is running low on power and must return to its original location.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model and a good fit for those looking for an efficient robot vacuum that has long run times and the ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design is a good fit under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has an tempered glass cover that is scratch-resistant. There's also a physical control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning modes. It lacks some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other dust or debris on hard floors and carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also removes pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side brush can help get into corners and along baseboards while the rolling brush pulls up dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to WiFi and is controlled by an app on your smartphone. It can also be controlled via voice commands when used with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a compact charging base that can hold the vacuum when it is not in use.
All eufy robotic vacuums come with several standard features. These include obstacle and drop detection, which prevents it from crashing into objects or falling down stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered eufy RoboVac 30C MAX, have advanced navigation systems that build and store the virtual floor map so it knows where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) every time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum to not use the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. You can also cordon off sensitive rooms, such as those containing your children's toys or console tables. This eufy model also comes with a pair of bounding strips that allow you block off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S Max is one of our top-performing robotic vacuums, earning the top marks for cleaning and navigation. Its design is simple, having only one button to start it up and an on/off switch below for a continuous shut-off. It also features a tempered-glass surface with ten sensors that help avoid obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device is fitted with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores a map of your floor. It makes use of this information to navigate quickly to each part of your home and make sure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models have sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to prevent your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those that have electrical cords) and use the'return to base feature'. Some allow you to create a map of your home and mark areas where you'd like to get rid of.
Some of the top-of-the-line vacuum cleaners that eufy makes use of include a navigation system dubbed "smart mapping" that scans your house and creates a map it refers to every time it cleans. This lets the vacuum effortlessly transition from plain floors to area rugs and back without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C is a perfect example of this model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes that can be selected through its app companion: Standard and 'Turbo'. This enhances the performance of the machine for cleaning bare floors, and 'Max', which is designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is excellent it allows the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with a built in battery indicator which blinks blue when it is charging, and then turns orange when power is low, and then is fully charged and solid blue.
The 'Spot Cleaning Mode' is another awesome feature. It allows you to force the vacuum cleaner to focus on a specific area by pressing a button near the base of the. 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 does a great job of removing pet hair, but it may require some more passes in order to remove hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as adept in removing hair from cracks and crevices as it is on bare floors however, it does a fantastic job of picking up pet hair from both bare and carpeted surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, and then it will automatically return to its charging base. It's capable of working across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction unit that can remove everything from chunks of cereal to glitter specks with ease. A tough brush roll as well as a side brush let it reach crevices and corners that might be out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robot vacuum operates on hard floors and carpets, and it can be controlled via the remote control included or by using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also adjust robotic cleaner and mop the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power depending on what kind of floor it is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home and requires minimal setup. Snap on the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi in less than a minute. Once it's connected to the internet, you can use the app to create a cleaning schedule and voice commands via a compatible smart home speaker.
Many eufy robots offer this level of personalization that lets you select the specific areas you want to focus it on and the time you would like it to clean. The app allows you to create virtual boundaries that block the robot from entering areas where there may be electrical cords, or other obstacles.
Some of the eufy models include an intuitive map, which utilizes a combination of sensors to determine the location of walls and furniture. It then draws a route to cover them. Others use an algorithm for navigation called iPath which is more advanced. In these cases robot vacuums use an algorithm to create the path, and then follow it until it reaches the specified area. The robot then returns to its dock and charges and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuums do not have this level intelligence. The entry-level models, which are generally the most expensive in the range they don't have a digital mapping system but instead chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same spots over and over again. It also rarely does not miss any corners or other hard to reach areas.
