The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with an remote control that allows for easy app operation. It also comes with boundary strips and has a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology lets you move from wood and tile to carpeting with low pile and area rug without any hassle. Other features that are standard include obstacle and drop detection that allow it to prevent bumps against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robot vacuum line has a variety of models, but there are certain features that are common across their entire line. Boost IQ is one of these features, which assists your robot to move smoothly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area rugs. It will automatically increase its suction power when it comes over a particular type of surface to ensure that you get the best clean possible.
Another feature that is useful 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 corners and walls.
Of course, the eufy robot also has the essential capabilities such as drop detection and obstacle detection, as well as a self-emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is standard on all robots since it helps them avoid bumping into walls or furniture and also keeps 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're up to, similar to the digital clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is in charging or standby mode. Blue means it is on and working. A solid orange means that your eufy is out of power and requires to be returned to its original location.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a highly rated model that's an ideal choice for those who want a powerful robot vacuum with long run times and the ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also has an tempered glass cover that is 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, including digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner has a powerful suction of 2,000 psi, which is great for picking up cereal crumbs, food crumbs, and other dust or debris on medium to low pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also collects pet hair as well as other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side brush can help get into corners and along baseboards while the brush that rolls pulls up dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled via apps on smartphones or via voice when connected to smart home speakers such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging station that holds the vacuum cleaner when not being used.
All eufy robot vacuums come with several standard features, including drop and obstacle detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, have advanced navigation systems that create and store the virtual map to know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can designate specific areas and set up cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum, without the Alexa compatible app or voice commands. You can also secure sensitive areas, like those containing your children's toys or console tables. This model includes a pair of bundled boundary strips that let you cordon off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums that we have tested, earning high marks for cleaning ability and navigation. Its design is simple, with a single button to start it up and an on/off switch beneath to ensure a constant shut-off. It also comes with a tempered-glass surface and ten sensors to avoid obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. Its new navigation system has been redesigned and equipped with iPath technology that creates and stores a map for your floor. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each room in your house and ensure that it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Similar to many robotic vacuums that are available, eufy's models come with intelligent features that let you manage your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to block your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and utilize the'return to base feature'. Some even let you draw a the map of your home and mark areas where you'd like to clean.
Some of the top-of-the line vacuum cleaners made by eufy have a navigation system called "smart mapping" that analyzes your home and creates maps it uses every time it cleans. This enables the vacuum cleaner to effortlessly move between bare floors and area rugs, and then back again, without missing one step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy, for example, is a fantastic example of this model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes that can be selected through its app companion: Standard, 'Turbo', which enhances the performance of the machine for cleaning floors with no carpet, and 'Max', which is designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is impressive and allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with an inbuilt indicator for batteries 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 cool feature is the 'Spot Cleaning mode, which lets you force the vacuum to concentrate on a narrow localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to get pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture, where a traditional upright vacuum would have trouble.
The elegant RoboVac is also a great job at removing pet hair on different types of floors, although it might need several more passes to clear stubborn patches of hair in low- and high-pile carpeting. It's not as effective in taking hair off of cracks and crevices in carpeted floors as it is on bare floors. However it does an excellent job of picking up pet fur from both bare and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, then automatically return to its charging base. It's capable of working across multiple floors and comes equipped with a powerful suction unit that can take anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks with ease. It has a sturdy brush roll, as well as an additional brush that helps it reach corners and crevices that other robots may not be able to access.
The battery-powered robovac works on hard floors and carpets, and it can be activated via the remote control included or by using your smart home or smartphone assistant to transmit commands via Wi-Fi. You can also adjust Boost IQ, which optimizes the suction power based on the floor type on which the vac is working.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy are designed to move around your home in a minimally-setup manner. It takes just a minute to attach the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once it's connected, you can make use of the app to design an agenda for cleaning and voice commands using a compatible smart home speaker.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of customization, which allows you to choose the specific areas you want it to focus on and when you want it to clean. The app allows you to define virtual boundaries that stop the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Some eufy models include an intuitive map which uses sensors that calculate the position of furniture and walls and shows a route for covering them. Others employ a more advanced navigational system known as iPath. In these instances robot vacuums use an algorithm to intelligently create an iPath path, and then follow it until it reaches the specified area. The robot returns to its dock and starts charging, waiting for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robot vacuum do not possess this level of intelligence. These entry-level models, which are typically the most affordable in the line-up do not have the digital mapping system, but instead draw an unpredictably zig-zag route every time they begin a cleaning session. While this can be frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same spots over and over again. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other hard to reach places.
