The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are famous for their ease of use. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes the remote control for simple application operation. It also comes with boundary strips and an endurance of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can transfer from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rugs without any hassle. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle and drop detection, allowing it to avoid bumping into furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line includes a variety of models. However certain features are common to all. Boost IQ is one of those features that assists your robot to move smoothly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically increase suction power whenever it comes across a certain surface type to ensure it is as clean as it can.
Another useful feature is the ability to manually switch between various cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is perfect for a 30 minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without having to switch modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on your walls and corners and Spot which is the best when there's a small space that requires attention, such as spilled baking soda.
Of course, the eufy robot also has the essential capabilities like obstacle and drop 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.
Some of the eufy robots come with a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, just like a digital watch. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's on and working, and a solid orange means that your eufy is running low on power and needs to return to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model and an ideal fit for those who want a powerful robot vacuum with long run times 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, and an tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. It also has physical controls as well as smart sensors that help with navigation, as well as various cleaning modes. However, it lacks the same advanced features that other models in the line include, such as digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this vacuum ideal for removing food particles cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of debris or dust on hard floors and carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also removes pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from upholstered furniture. The rotating side brush is great for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks dust, dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to WiFi and can be controlled by a smartphone app. It can also be controlled via voice commands when paired with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.
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 stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S as well as its re-engineered eufyRoboVac 30C MAX even offer advanced navigation systems that build and keep a virtual floor map so it knows where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) each time it cleans.
You can designate specific areas and set up cleaning cycles for the eufy robot robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum without using the Alexa compatible app or voice controls. You can also secure sensitive rooms, such as areas that house toys for children or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips which allow you to fence off larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S MAX is among the top-performing robotic vacuums in our tests, earning top marks for both cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple with one button at the top to wake it up and an on/off switch beneath to turn off the vacuum permanently, as well as a glass-tempered surface and ten infrared sensors that keep away from obstacles and an 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system comes with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores the floor map. It uses this information to swiftly navigate to each part of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Like many robotic vacuums available on the market the models from eufy come with smart features that let you control your device remotely. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that stop 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 the map of your home and mark areas where you want to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system called'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it uses every cleaning. This allows the vacuum to move seamlessly from bare floors to area rugs and back again without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C is a perfect illustration of this model. It has three suction power settings you can select through 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 high-pile flooring.
The battery life is outstanding and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum has a built in indicator for batteries that flashes blue while it is charging, and then turns orange when the power is low, and finally solidifies blue when fully charged.
Another cool feature is the "Spot Cleaning' mode that allows you to make the vacuum focus on a small, localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to get pet hair or crumbs out of corners or under furniture where a conventional vacuum would struggle to reach.
The elegant RoboVac does a great job on pet hair, however it might need to make several more passes to remove hairy patches that are difficult to remove from both high and low pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as effective in removing hair from crevices and cracks as it is on floors that are unfinished but it does an overall excellent job of removing pet hair from both carpeted and un-floored surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, then automatically return to its charging base. It can work on multiple floors, and is equipped with powerful vacuums that can remove everything from cereal pieces to glitter specks. It has a durable brush roll, as well as an additional brush that helps it get into crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to reach.
The battery-powered robovac works on hard floors and carpets and can be activated via the remote control that comes with it or via your smartphone or smart home assistant to transmit commands via Wi-Fi. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power according to the kind of floor it is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy are designed to move around your home in a minimalist manner. Snap on the edge brush rotating and connect to Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once connected, the app lets you to create a cleaning routine and use voice commands using an intelligent home speaker compatible.
This level of customization is available on many eufy robotic vacuum cleaners. You can select 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 wires, or other obstacles.
Certain eufy products come with an intuitive map that uses a combination sensors to calculate the locations of walls and furniture. Then, it draws a route to cover the area. Other models use a navigational technology called iPath which is more advanced. In these cases the robot vacuum employs an algorithm to create the path, and then follow it until it covers the area that is designated. The robot returns to its dock, from where it is charged and waits for its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuum do not have this level intelligence. These models, which are typically the cheapest in the lineup, don't use a digital mapping system instead, they chart an unpredictably zig-zag route each time they start cleaning. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot always manages to cover the same areas over and over again. It also rarely misses corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
