The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are renowned for their user-friendly. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and comes with an wireless remote control making it simple to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology allows you to easily move from wood, tile and area rugs to low-pile and area rug. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle and drop detection, allowing it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robot vacuum line offers a wide variety of models, but there are certain features that are common across their lineup. Boost IQ is one such feature, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard floors to medium to low pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes across a certain surface type to make sure it is as clean as is possible.
A great feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open area without having to switch modes, Edge, which will concentrate on your walls and corners, and Spot which is the best when there's a small space that requires attention, like baking soda that has been spilled.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the essential capabilities like drop and obstacle 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.
A number of the eufy robots have a variety LED indicators that can communicate with you, similar to the digital watches. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's active and working and a solid orange indicates that the eufy's running out of power and needs to return to its home base.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a highly rated model that's an ideal fit for those looking for a powerful robot vacuum with an extended run time and the ability to reach the farthest corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with a scratch-resistant, tempered glass cover. There is also physical controls and smart sensors to assist with navigation, and different cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, including digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction rate of 2,000 pounds makes this robot vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other debris or dust on hard floors as well as carpets with a low-to-medium pile. It also sucks up pet hair and other tougher allergens from furniture that is upholstered. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush pulls up dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and is controlled by an app for smartphones. It can also be controlled using voice commands when paired with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a handy charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner when it is not being used.
All Eufy robot vacuums have a number of standard features, including drop and obstacle detection to avoid running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, offer advanced navigation systems which create and memorize the virtual map to know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. Additionally, you can isolate rooms that contain delicate items, like your kids' toys or console tables. This 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 we tested with top marks for both cleaning capabilities and navigation. Its design is simple, having one button to get it going and an on/off switch below to ensure a constant shut-off. It also has a tempered-glass surface with ten sensors that help avoid obstacles, and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system is equipped with iPath laser scanning technology that builds and stores a map of your floor. It utilizes this information to navigate quickly to each part of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models come with sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to prevent your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and utilize the'return to base feature'. Some allow you to create a map of your home and mark areas where you'd like to get rid of.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system known as'smart mapping'. It analyzes the floors of your home and builds a map that it refers to each time it cleans. This enables the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between bare floors and area rugs, and back again, without missing a step.
The eufy RoboVac 25C, for example, is a perfect illustration of this model. It has three distinct suction power modes that can be selected through its app companion: Standard, 'Turbo', which boosts the machine's performance for cleaning bare floors, and 'Max', which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
The battery life of the vacuum is also very good. It can run in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum has built-in indicator for the battery that flashes blue while it is charging, and then turns orange when the power is low, and then solidifies blue when fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is another awesome feature. It allows you to make the vacuum cleaner concentrate on a specific area, by pressing a button on the bottom of the. This is a great way to clean pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or under furniture, where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The soft RoboVac does a great job on pet hair, however it may need to make some more passes in order to remove stubborn patches of hair from both high and low pile carpeting. Like most robotic cleaners, it's not as effective in removing hair from crevices and cracks as it is on bare floors but cleaning robots 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, then automatically return to its charging base. It can be used on a variety of floors, and comes with powerful vacuums that can pick up anything from cereal chunks to glitter specks. A durable brush roll and a side brush help it reach the corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo vacuum works on carpets and hard floors, and it can be controlled via the included remote control or by using your smartphone or smart home assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power based on the type of floor the vac is working on.
As with other eufy robotics, the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home, with the least amount of set-up. Simply attach the edge brush rotating and connect to your Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once it's connected to the internet, you can make use of the app to create a cleaning schedule and voice commands via the compatible smart speaker.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of customization, which allows you to select the specific areas you want to focus it on and the times you'd like it to clean. The application allows you to define virtual boundaries that are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there may be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd rather not vacuum up.
Some of the eufy models include an intuitive map that utilizes a combination of sensors to determine the positions of furniture and walls. It then draws a route to cover them. Other models employ the navigational technology known as iPath, which is more sophisticated. In these instances the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to generate a path, then follows it until the designated area is completely covered. The robot returns to its dock and starts charging and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy vacuums don't have this kind of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are usually the most affordable in the line-up, don't use the digital mapping system, instead, they chart a random zig-zag path each time they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same areas over and over again. It also rarely misses corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
