The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has a remote control for convenient app operation. It also comes with boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ Technology is able to move from wood, tile and area rugs, to low-pile and area rugs. Other features included in the standard package include drop and obstacle detection, which allows it to keep from hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robot vacuum line has a variety of models, however there are certain features that are common across their lineup. One of them is Boost IQ technology, which is specifically designed to aid your robot move seamlessly from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting as well as area rugs. It will automatically boost suction power when it comes across a certain type of surface to ensure it gets as clean as is possible.
An important feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will operate in an open space without having to switch modes, Edge, which will really focus on your walls and corners, and Spot, which works best when there's a small space that requires attention, like spilled baking soda.
The eufy robot comes with all the basic features like drop and obstacle detectors as well as an automatic emptying base. Most robots have an obstacle and drop detection system. This prevents them hitting furniture or walls.
Some of the eufy robots have a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, just like the digital watches. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's working and on and a solid orange indicates that your eufy is low on power and has to go back to its home base.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a highly rated model that's an ideal fit for those who want an efficient robot vacuum that has a long run time, including its ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. It's slim lines that fit under furniture and tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. It also has a physical remote control and smart sensors for navigation, and several cleaning modes. It lacks some of the more advanced features of other models, including digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction level of 2,000 pa makes this robot vacuum great for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors as well as low- to medium-pile carpeting. It can also remove pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from upholstered furnishings. The side-brush that rotates is great for getting into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick up dirt, dust and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and is controlled by an app on your smartphone. It can also be controlled with voice commands when used with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a small charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner when not being used.
All eufy robotic vacuums come with a number standard features. These include obstacle and drop detection, which prevents it from hitting objects or falling down stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, have advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map so that it knows where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can create specific areas and customize cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum, without the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. And you can also block off rooms with delicate items, like your children's toys or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to cordon off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is among the top-performing robotic vacuums we tested with the top marks for cleaning ability and navigation. Its design is simple, having only one button to get it going and an on/off switch beneath for a continuous shut-off. It also has an tempered glass surface, ten sensors to avoid obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system is equipped with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores the floor map. It utilizes this information to quickly navigate to each area of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Similar to many robotic vacuums available on the market the models from eufy come robot vacuum with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to prevent your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and utilize the'return to base feature'. Some of them allow you to draw a an image of the house and mark the areas you would like to clean.
Some of the top-of-the line vacuum cleaners made by eufy have a navigation system called "smart mapping" that scans your home and builds a map it refers to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and then back to the original location without missing any steps.
The eufy RoboVac 25C, for example, is a great example of this model. It comes with three suction power settings you can select using 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 flooring with high piles.
The battery life of the vacuum is also impressive. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum also comes with a built-in indicator for the battery that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, then turns orange when the machine is low on power, and solidifies to blue when fully charged.
Another cool feature is the 'Spot Cleaning mode that lets you make the vacuum concentrate on a narrow localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great method to get pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture, which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The elegant RoboVac is also a great job of removing pet hair from different types of floors, although it might need a few extra passes to clear stubborn patches of hair in carpeting with a high or low pile. It's not as good at taking hair off of cracks and crevices in carpeted floors as it is with naked floors. However it does a fantastic job picking up pet fur from bare and covered 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 multiple floors and comes equipped with a powerful suction that can remove anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks in a matter of minutes. A sturdy brush roll and a side brush let it reach the corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robot vacuum operates on carpets and hard floors and is controlled by the included remote control or using your smartphone or smart home assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also adjust Boost IQ, which optimizes the suction power according to the floor type on which the vac is working.
The G30 Edge, like other elegant robotics are designed to move around your home in a simple manner. Simply attach the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi in less than a minute. Once it's connected, 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 that you would like it to focus on and when you want it to clean. The app lets you define virtual boundaries that stop the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to determine the position of furniture and walls, and plots a route to cover them. Some models employ a more advanced navigational technology called iPath. In these instances, a robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to create the path, and then follow it until he covers the specified area. The robot returns to its dock and charges and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuum don't have this level of intelligence. These entry-level models are usually the most affordable and don't utilize an electronic map system. Instead, they plot a random path every when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating at times, the robot will always cover the same spots over and over again. It is also not able to miss corners or other difficult-to-access areas.
