The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review

Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes the remote control for simple use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and has the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.

Its Boost IQ technology can move from wood and tile to low-pile carpeting and area rug without a hitch. Other features included in the standard package include drop and obstacle detection, which lets it avoid hitting walls and furniture.

Boost IQ Technology

The eufy line of robot vacuums provides a wide range of models, however there are some features that are common across their line. One of these features is Boost IQ technology that is designed to assist your robot effortlessly move from hard floors to low- to medium-pile carpeting and rug. It will automatically increase suction power whenever it comes across a certain surface type to ensure it is as clean as it can.

An important 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 walls and corners.

The eufy robot comes with all the basic features like drop and obstacle detection as well as an automatic emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is standard on most robots as it prevents them from bumping into walls or furniture and also prevents them from falling down stairs or into other areas that might be dangerous.

Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that tell you what they are doing, similar to an electronic clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue means it is active and functioning. And a solid orange means that your eufy has ran out of energy and has to be returned to its original location.

The RoboVac 11S is a highly rated robot vacuum, is perfect for those who are looking for a robust robot with a long running time. It can also reach the furthest corners of your home. Its slim design fits under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with an tempered glass cover that is scratch-resistant. There is also an actual control, smart sensors to help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning modes. It's missing some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or app-based controls.

Powerful Suction

This vacuum cleaner has an impressive suction power of 2,000 pa, which is great to remove food crumbs, cereal particles, and other debris or dust on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It also collects pet hair and other tougher allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side brush helps to get into corners and along baseboards while the rolling brush picks dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.

The 25C is wirelessly connected, and is controlled by a smartphone app. 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 base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.

All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with many standard features, including drop and obstacle detection to stop it from running into objects or falling down the stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the RoboVac 30C Max offer advanced navigation systems which create and store the virtual map so that it knows the direction it should take (and avoid) each time it cleans.

You can designate specific areas and customize cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. And you can also isolate rooms that contain delicate items, like the toys of your children or console tables. This model comes with a pair of bundled boundary strips that let you cordon off larger areas.

The RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums that we have tested with the top marks for cleaning capabilities 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 features an tempered-glass surface and ten sensors to avoid obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system is equipped with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores an image of your floor. The system then uses this information to swiftly navigate to every room in your house and ensure that it covers every inch of your floor.

Convenient App Control

Eufy's models are equipped with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, designate virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are stuffed with electrical cords), and set the return to base feature. Some even let you create an outline of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.

Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system known as'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it refers to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to seamlessly move between plain floors and area rugs, and back again, without missing one step.

The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a fantastic example of this model. It comes with three suction power settings that you can choose via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the efficiency of the machine in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max" which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.

The vacuum's battery life is also excellent. It can operate in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum also features an inbuilt indicator for batteries that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, then turns orange when the machine is low on power, and then solidifies to blue once it's fully charged.

Another feature that is cool is the "Spot Cleaning mode, which lets you force the vacuum to concentrate on a tiny localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is a great way to remove pet hair or dust from tight corners or under furniture, which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.

The soft RoboVac does an excellent job on pet hair, however it might need to make some more passes to eliminate hairy patches from low- and high pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as effective in removing hair from cracks and crevices as it is on bare floors but it does an overall excellent job of removing pet hair from bare and carpeted surfaces.

100 Minutes of Cleaning

The eufy robotic vacuum can be cleaned for up to 100 minutes, here then automatically return to its charging base. It is able to work on multiple floors and comes with an efficient vacuum that can pick up anything from cereal chunks to glitter tiny specks. It comes with a tough brush roll, and a side brush that can help it get into crevices and corners that other robots might not be able to access.

The robo-vacuum powered by batteries can be controlled using the remote control included or by sending commands over Wi-Fi with your smartphone or smart-home assistant. You can also alter Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power according to the kind of floor on which the vac is working.

As with other eufy robotics, the G30 Edge is designed to be able to work in your home with minimal set-up. Snap on the rotating edge brush and connect to your Wi-Fi in less than a minute. Once connected, the app allows you to create cleaning routines and utilize voice commands with a smart home speaker compatible.

This level of customization is available on a variety of eufy robotic vacuum cleaners. You can select which areas you'd like it clean and when. The application allows you to define virtual boundaries that are used to stop the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd rather not vacuum up.

Some eufy models include an intuitive map which uses a combination of sensors to calculate the position of furniture and walls and creates a route to cover them. Others use a more sophisticated navigational technology known as iPath. In these instances, a robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to create an iPath path, and then follow it until he covers the designated area. The robot then returns to its dock and is charged in anticipation of its next scheduled cleaning.

Other models of the eufy robotic vacuum don't have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are generally the cheapest in the lineup, don't use a digital mapping system instead, they chart a random zig-zag path every time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same areas repeatedly. In addition, it never does not miss any corners or other difficult to access areas.
