The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also has boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology allows you to move from tile and wood to carpeting with a low-pile and area rugs without a hitch. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection, which allows it to avoid hitting furniture or walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robot vacuum line has a variety of models, however there are some features that are standard across their lineup. One of these features is Boost IQ technology that is specifically designed to aid your robot seamlessly transition from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting as well as area carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes over a particular type of surface to ensure the best vacuuming and mopping robot possible clean.
Another great feature is the ability to manually switch 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 the vast space without changing modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
Of course, the eufy robot also has the essential capabilities like obstacle and drop detection, as well as self-emptying bases. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This means that they are not able to hit walls or furniture.
Many of the eufy robots have a variety LED indicators that can communicate with you, similar to an electronic watch. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's on and working and a solid orange means that your eufy is low on power and must return to its home base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model and an ideal choice for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with a long run time and the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. It features a slim design that fits under furniture and in tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's scratch-resistant. There's also an actual remote control as well as smart sensors for navigation, and multiple cleaning modes. It doesn't come with a lot of the advanced features that other models include, such as digital mapping or app-based control.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum great to remove food pieces cereal crumbs, food particles and other dust or debris on hard floors and carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also sucks up pet hair and other tougher allergens off furniture upholstery. The side-brush that rotates is useful for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks dust, dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled from an app on your smartphone or via voice when it is connected to a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robot vacuums come with many standard features, including obstacle and drop detection to stop it from running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, have advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map to know the direction it should take (and avoid) each time it cleans.
You can designate certain areas and tailor cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. You can also separate sensitive rooms, such as those containing your children's toys or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to secure larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is among the top-performing robotic vacuums that we have tested with high marks for cleaning capabilities and navigation. Its design is simple with one button at the top of the unit to get it going and an on/off switch under to turn off the vacuum permanently and also a glass-tempered surface, ten infrared sensors to steer clear of obstacles, and an 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device is fitted with iPath laser scanning technology that builds and stores an image of your floor. 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 Eufy's models have advanced features that allow you to control your device from a distance. This includes the ability to set cleaning times, designate 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 an outline of your home and mark the areas you would like to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping', which scans your home's floors and creates a map it uses every cleaning. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and back again without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C, for example, is a fantastic illustration of this model. It comes with three suction power settings that can be selected via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the machine's performance when cleaning bare floors and "Max", which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
The vacuum's battery life is also very good. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum also has an inbuilt indicator for batteries that blinks blue when the vacuum is charging, and then pulsates orange when the machine is low on power, and then solidifies to blue when fully charged.
The 'Spot Cleaning Mode' is a amazing feature. It lets you make the vacuum cleaner focus on a specific area, by pressing a button at the base of the. This is ideal for getting crumbs or pet hair out of corners or from under furniture, where a traditional vacuum might struggle to reach.
The elegant RoboVac also does a fantastic job of removing pet hair from different types of floors, although it might need some additional passes to remove hairy patches that are difficult to remove from low- and high-pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as effective at getting hair out of crevices and cracks as it is on floors that are unfinished however, it does an overall excellent job of removing pet hair from carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can clean for a staggering 100 minutes, and then it will automatically return to its charging base. It's able of working on several floors and comes with a powerful suction unit that can pick up everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks with ease. A sturdy brush roll and a side brush let it reach crevices and corners that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robot vacuum operates on carpets and hard floors and can be activated via the remote control that comes with it or using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power based on the kind of floor it is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other eufy robotics are designed to move around your home in a minimally-setup way. It takes only a few minutes to snap on the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app lets you to set up cleaning routines and utilize voice commands using an intelligent home speaker compatible.
Many eufy robots offer this level of customization which lets you select the specific areas you want it to focus on and the time you would like it to clean. The app allows you to set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Some models from Eufy come with an intuitive map that makes use of a combination of sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls, and plots a route to cover them. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances, the robotic vacuum applies an algorithm to intelligently generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the specified 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 don't have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models are typically the least expensive and do not utilize a digital map system. Instead, they chart a random path every when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating, the eufy robotic cleaner will always cover the same areas. It is also not able to miss corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
