The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are famous for being easy to use. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with an remote control that allows for easy application operation. It also has 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 or area rug. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection that allow it to avoid bumping against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line provides a wide range of models, but there are certain features that are common across their lineup. Boost IQ is one of these features, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically increase its suction power when it comes over a particular type of surface in order to get the most effective cleaning possible.
An important feature is the ability to manually switch between cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without having to switch modes, Edge, which will really focus on your walls and corners, and Spot that is best when there's a small area that requires extra attention, such as baking soda that has been spilled.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the basic capabilities like obstacle and drop detection as well as a self-emptying base. Drop detection and obstacle detection is a common feature on most robots as it helps them avoid hitting furniture or walls, while the latter keeps them from falling down stairs or other areas that might be dangerous.
Many of the eufy robots have a variety LED indicators that communicate with you, similar to a digital watch. A solid green means the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue indicates it's on and working. And a solid orange signalizes that your eufy has run out of power and requires to go back to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a top-rated model that's a good fit for those looking for an effective robot vacuum with an extended run time, including its ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. It has slim lines that fit under furniture and tight spaces, and the glass cover is tempered and scratch resistant. There is also an actual control, smart sensors to help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning options. However, it lacks many of the sophisticated features that some of the other models in the line do, such as digital mapping or app-based control.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner has an impressive suction power of 2,000 psi that is ideal for removing food crumbs, cereal crumbs and other particles of dust and debris on low- to medium pile carpeting and hard floors. It also removes pet hair and other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards while the rolling brush picks dirt and other debris that clings to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled using an app on your smartphone or via voice when paired with a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also has 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, such as obstacle and drop detection to stop it from running into things or falling down the stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, provide advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map so that it knows where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can tailor the cleaning cycle and set specific areas for the robot vacuum to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice commands. Additionally, you can isolate rooms that contain delicate items, like the toys of your children or console tables. This eufy has two boundary strips which allow you to fence off larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S MAX is among the top-performing robotic vacuums in our tests and has received top marks for both cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is minimalist, with just a single button on the top of the unit to get it going and an on/off switch underneath to turn off the vacuum permanently, as well as a glass-tempered surface and ten infrared sensors that steer clear of obstacles and the 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. The new navigation system is equipped iPath technology, which creates and stores a floor map for your floor. It utilizes this information to quickly navigate to each area of your house and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Like many robot vacuums that are available Eufy's models have advanced features that let you control your device from a distance. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that prevent your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms full of electrical cords) and set the'return to base' feature. Some even let you create a map of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners include a special navigation system known as'smart mapping', which examines the floors in your home and creates a map it references every cleaning. This enables the vacuum cleaner to effortlessly move between bare floors and area rugs, and then back again, without skipping a step.
The RoboVac 25C, which is eufy, is a great example of this type of model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes that can be selected through its app companion: Standard, 'Turbo', which increases the efficiency of the machine when cleaning floors with no carpet, and 'Max', that is designed for high pile carpeting.
The battery life of the vacuum is also excellent. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 mins. The vacuum also has a built-in indicator for batteries that flashes blue when the vacuum is charging, turns pulsing orange when it's low in power, and then changes to blue when fully charged.
Another feature that is cool is the "Spot Cleaning mode that allows you to force the vacuum to concentrate on a tiny localized area by pressing a button at its base. This is ideal for getting crumbs or pet hair out of tight corners or from under furniture, where a traditional vacuum might struggle to reach.
The soft RoboVac does an excellent job of removing pet hair, but it may require some more passes to get rid of stubborn patches of hair from both high and low pile carpeting. It's not as good in removing hair from cracks and crevices in carpeted floors as it is on naked floors. However it does an excellent job of picking up pet fur from both naked and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum provides an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with a self-return to its base for charging. It can work on multiple floors, and is equipped with a powerful vacuum that can pick up anything from cereal chunks to glitter tiny specks. It has a durable brush roll, and a side brush that helps it reach 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 included remote control or using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also alter Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power according to the type of floor that the vacuum is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other elegant robotics, is designed to move around your home in a minimalist manner. It takes just a minute to connect the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app lets you to set up an cleaning routine and also use voice commands using a smart home speaker that is compatible with.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of customization that lets you choose the specific areas you would like it to focus on and the times you'd like it to clean. The application allows you to create virtual boundaries, which can be used to block the robot from entering rooms where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd prefer not to clean up.
Certain eufy products come with an intuitive map that makes use of a combination of sensors to determine the positions of furniture and walls. Then, it plots a route that will cover the areas. Others use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is more advanced. In these cases, 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 website its dock and starts charging and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuums do not have this level of intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the least expensive and do not use an electronic map system. Instead, they map an undetermined path each time they begin cleaning. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same spots repeatedly. It also rarely misses corners or other difficult-to-access areas.
