The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are known for being easy to use. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with an remote control that allows for easy application operation. It also has boundary strips and has the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology is able to transfer from tile, wood and area rugs, to low-pile and area rugs. Other features that are standard include drop detection and obstacle detection that allow it to avoid bumping against furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line includes many models. However, certain features are common to all. One such feature is Boost IQ technology that is designed to assist your robot move seamlessly from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting as well as area rugs. It will automatically increase suction power when it runs over a particular type of surface in order to get the best robot cleaner possible clean.
Another great feature is the ability to change between a variety of cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick, 30-minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in a large space without changing modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
The Eufy robot is equipped with all the basic features, including obstacle and drop detectors as well as an auto-emptying base. Most robots have an obstacle and drop detection. This stops them from hitting walls or furniture.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that inform you of what they're up to, similar to a digital clock. A solid green means the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue means it is active and functioning. And a solid orange indicates that your eufy has run out of power and needs to go back to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a highly rated model that's an ideal fit for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with an extended run time as well as the ability to reach the farthest corners of your home. It features a slim design that fits under furniture and in tight spaces, as well as the glass cover is tempered and scratch-resistant. There is also physical controls and smart sensors to assist with navigation, as well as various cleaning options. It's missing some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This robot vacuum has an impressive suction of 2,000 psi that is ideal for removing food crumbs, cereal crumbs, and other debris or dust on low- to medium pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also removes dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstery furniture. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards while the brush that rolls pulls up dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled from a smartphone app or by voice when paired with smart home speakers such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner while not being used.
All eufy robotic cleaners come with several standard features. They include drop and obstacle detection, which prevents it from crashing into objects or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the RoboVac 30C Max have advanced navigation systems that create and store the virtual map so that it knows the direction it should take (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can designate certain areas and tailor cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without using the Alexa compatible app or voice controls. You can also separate sensitive rooms, such as areas that house toys for children or console tables. This eufy model also comes with a pair of border strips that can be bundled to let you block off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is among the top-performing robotic vacuums in our tests and has received high marks for cleaning ability and navigation. Its design is simple, having one button to start it up and an on/off switch below for a permanent shut-off. It also has an tempered glass surface with ten sensors that help avoid obstacles and a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. Its new navigation system has been redesigned and equipped with iPath technology, which creates and stores a floor map for your floor. It utilizes this information to quickly navigate to each area of your home and make sure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
As is the case with many robotic vacuums on the market, eufy's models come with smart features that allow you to control your device remotely. You can plan cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to stop your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and utilize the'return to base feature'. Some even let you create a map of your home and mark areas where you'd like to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners include a special navigation system called'smart mapping', which analyzes the floors of your home and builds a map that it uses every cleaning. This lets the vacuum effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and then back without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C, for example, is a perfect example of this model. It comes with three suction power settings you can select via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which boosts the efficiency of the machine when cleaning floors that are not clean and "Max", which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
Its battery performance is outstanding and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum has a built in indicator for the battery that blinks blue when it is charging, then changes to orange when the power is low, and finally it turns blue when fully charged.
Another feature that is cool is the 'Spot Cleaning mode, which allows you to make the vacuum concentrate on a narrow, localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great method to get pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or under furniture, which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The soft RoboVac also does an admirable job with pet hair on different flooring types, but it might need several more passes to clear stubborn patches of hair in low- and high-pile carpeting. Like most robotic cleaners, it's not as adept in removing hair from cracks and crevices as it is on floors that are unfinished however, it does an overall excellent job of picking up pet hair from carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with an automatic return to its base to charge. It's capable of working across several floors and comes with a powerful suction system that can remove everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks with ease. It comes with a tough brush roll as well as an additional brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to reach.
The robo-vacuum powered by batteries can be controlled using the remote control provided or by sending commands over Wi-Fi using your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power based on the kind of floor the vac is working on.
As with other eufy robotics, the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home with the least amount of setup. It takes only a few minutes to connect the rotating edge brushes and connect to your Wi-Fi network at home. Once it's connected to the internet, you can use the app to create a cleaning schedule and voice commands via an appropriate smart home speaker.
This level of customization is available on a variety of elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose which areas you'd like it clean and when. The app allows you to set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from entering areas where there may be electrical cords, or other obstacles.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to calculate the location of furniture and walls, and creates a route to cover them. Other models employ the navigational technology known as iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the designated area is fully covered. The robot then returns to its dock, from where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy vacuums don't have this kind of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are usually the most affordable in the line-up they don't have a digital mapping system instead, they chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating, the eufy robotic cleaner will always cover the same areas. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other hard to reach places.
