The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology allows you to transfer from tile and wood to carpeting with low pile and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include obstacle detection and drop detection which allow it to avoid bumping against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with several models. However, certain features are common to all. Boost IQ is one of these features, which helps your robot move smoothly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs across a certain surface type in order to get the most effective cleaning possible.
A useful feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick 30 minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in the vast space without changing modes. Edge will focus on corners and walls.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the basic capabilities such as drop detection and obstacle detection, as well as a self-emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.
Many of the eufy robots have a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, just like the digital watches. A solid green means the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue indicates it's functioning and on. A solid orange signalizes that your eufy has run out of power and needs to be returned to its home base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S, a top-rated robot vacuum, is the ideal choice for those who are seeking a powerful machine with a long running time. It is also able to reach the furthest corners of your house. Its slim design is a good fit under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with a scratch-resistant, tempered glass cover. There is also an actual control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner has a powerful suction of 2,000 pa which is ideal to remove food crumbs, cereal particles, and other debris or dust on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It also removes pet hair and other tougher allergens from furniture that is upholstered. A rotating side brush helps reach into corners and along baseboards, while the brush that rolls pulls dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.
The 25C is wirelessly 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 compact charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner when it is not being used.
All eufy robotic cleaners come with many standard features. These include obstacle and drop detection, which keeps it from hitting objects or falling down the stairs. Some models, like the eufy RoboVac11S 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 knows where to go (and where to avoid) every time it cleans.
You can customize cleaning cycles, set specific areas for the robot vacuum to not use the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. You can also separate sensitive areas, like the ones that contain toys for your children or console tables. This model includes a pair of border strips that can be bundled to let you secure larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is among the top-performing robotic vacuums that we have tested with top marks for both cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to start it up and an on/off switch below for a continuous shut-off. It also features an tempered-glass surface and ten sensors to steer away from 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 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
Like many robotic vacuums that are available Eufy's models have smart features that let you control your device from a distance. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to block your Robot Vacuum Mops 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 a map of the house and mark the areas you wish to clean.
Some of the top-of-the line robotic cleaners from eufy include a navigation system dubbed "smart mapping" that analyzes your home and creates a map it refers to every time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between floors that are unfinished and area rugs, and then back again, without skipping a step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great example of this type of model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes you can select through its app companion: Standard and 'Turbo'. This enhances the performance of the machine for cleaning floors with no carpet and 'Max' which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
The vacuum's battery life is also excellent. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum comes with an inbuilt indicator for batteries that flashes blue when it's charging, and then turns orange when the power is low, and then is fully charged and solid blue.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is a amazing feature. It lets you make the vacuum cleaner focus on a localized area, by pressing a button on the base. This is great for getting pet hair or crumbs out of corners or from under furniture where a conventional vacuum would struggle to reach.
The eufy RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning of removing pet hair, but it might need to make some more passes to eliminate hairy patches from low- and high pile carpeting. Like most robotic cleaners, it's not as adept in getting hair out of crevices and cracks as it is on floors that are unfinished but it does a great job of removing pet hair from both carpeted and un-floored surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with a self-return to its base to charge. It can work on multiple floors and comes with a powerful vacuum that can remove anything from cereal crumbs to glitter specks. A sturdy brush roll and a side brush help it reach the corners and crevices that might be out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is operated via the remote control provided or by sending commands via Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature which maximizes 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 only minimal setup. It takes only a few minutes to attach the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once connected and you're able to make use of the app to design cleaning schedules and voice commands using a compatible smart home speaker.
Many eufy robots offer this level of flexibility, which allows you to select the specific areas you would like it to focus on and the time you would like it to clean. The app also lets you set virtual boundaries, which can be used to block the robot from entering rooms where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd prefer not to clean up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to calculate the position of furniture and walls, and plots a route to cover the area. Others use a more sophisticated navigational technology called iPath. In these cases robot vacuums use an algorithm to intelligently create the path, and then follow it until it covers the specified area. The robot returns to its dock where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robot vacuums do not have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are typically the cheapest in the lineup, don't use an electronic mapping system, but instead chart an unpredictably zig-zag route every time they begin cleaning. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot is always able to cover the same areas repeatedly. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other hard to access areas.
