The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are famous for their user-friendly. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and has an wireless remote control to make it easy to use the app. It also has boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology allows you to transfer from tile and wood to low-pile carpeting and area rugs without a hitch. Other features that are standard include obstacle and drop detection which allow it to prevent bumps against furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line includes many models. However certain features are common to all of them. One of these features is Boost IQ technology specifically designed to aid your robot move seamlessly from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting and area carpets. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs over a particular type of surface to ensure the best clean possible.
Another useful feature is the ability to switch between various cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of the floor, Auto, which will work in an open area without switching modes, Edge, which will concentrate on the corners and walls, and Spot, which works best when there's an area that requires extra attention, such as baking soda that has been spilled.
The eufy robot has all the basic features, including drop and obstacle detectors and an automatic emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is pretty standard on all robots since it helps them avoid hitting furniture or walls and also prevents them from falling down stairs or into other areas that could be hazardous.
Some of the eufy robots also come with a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, similar to a digital watch. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's on and working and a solid orange means that your eufy is running out of power and has to go back to its base.
The RoboVac 11S, a top-rated robot vacuum, is perfect for those who are looking for a powerful robot with a long run time. It also has the ability to get to the most remote corners of your home. It has a slim design that fits under furniture and in tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's scratch-resistant. It also has a physical remote control, smart sensors for navigation, and multiple cleaning modes. However, it lacks many of the sophisticated features that some of the other models offer, like digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner features a powerful suction of 2,000 psi that is ideal for removing cereal crumbs, food particles, and other particles of dust and debris on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard floors. It also gets rid of dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstery furniture. A rotating side brush helps to get into corners and along baseboards while the rolling brush picks up dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is wirelessly connected, and can be controlled via a smartphone app. It can also be controlled with voice commands when connected to an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robotic vacuums come with several standard features. They include drop and obstacle detection, which prevents it from hitting objects or falling down stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the RoboVac 30C Max have advanced navigation systems that create and memorize a virtual map to help it know the direction it should take (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles and set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum, and set specific areas to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. You can also block off rooms with sensitive items, such as your kids' toys or console tables. This eufy has two boundary strips that permit you to cordon off larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S MAX from Eufy is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums in our tests with the top marks for cleaning capabilities and navigation. Its design is simple, with just one button on the top to turn it on and an on/off switch under for a permanent turn-off and a tempered glass surface with ten infrared sensors to avoid obstacles, and the 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. The new navigation system is equipped iPath technology that creates and stores a map for your floor. It then uses that information to swiftly navigate to every area of the house and ensure it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models have sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to set cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that prevent your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are stuffed with electrical cords) and set the'return to base' feature. Some allow you to create an outline of your home and mark areas where you'd like to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system called'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it refers to each time it cleans. This lets the vacuum effortlessly transition from plain floors to area rugs and then back without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C, for example, is a great example of this model. It has three suction power settings that you can choose via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which improves the performance of the machine in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max", which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
Its battery performance is also excellent it allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default Standard mode. The vacuum also has a built-in indicator for the battery that flashes blue when it is charging, then turns orange when the machine is low on power, and then solidifies to blue once it's fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is a cool feature. It lets you use the vacuum cleaner to concentrate on a specific area, by pressing a button at the base. This is a great way to remove pet hair or dust from tight corners or under furniture, where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.
The soft RoboVac also does an admirable job with pet hair on different flooring types, but it may require some additional passes to clear stubborn patches of hair in carpets with high and low pile. It's not as effective in removing hair from cracks and crevices on carpeted floors as it is for plain floors. However, it does a great job of removing pet fur from both bare and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with an automatic return to its base to charge. It can be used on a variety of floors, and comes with powerful vacuums that can pick up anything from cereal crumbs to glitter tiny specks. A durable brush roll and a side brush help it reach corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is controlled using the remote control provided or by sending commands via Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also alter Boost IQ which can optimize the suction power in accordance with the type of floor that the vacuum is working on.
Like other eufy robots, the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home, robotic hoovers with minimal installation. It takes just a minute to snap on the rotating edge brushes and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once connected and you're able to use the app to create cleaning schedules and voice commands through the compatible smart speaker.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of personalization that lets you select the specific areas that you want to focus it on and the times you'd like it to clean. The application can also set virtual boundaries, which can be used to block the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to sweep up.
Some eufy products include an intuitive map, which utilizes a combination of sensors to determine the location of walls and furniture. Then, it creates a route to cover them. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances, a robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to intelligently create a path and then follows it until it reaches the specified area. The robot then returns to its dock and is charged and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robotic vacuum don't have this level of intelligence. The entry-level models, which are usually the most affordable in the line-up they don't have an electronic mapping system, instead, they chart an unpredictably zig-zag route each time they begin cleaning. Although this can be a bit frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same areas repeatedly. It is also not able to miss corners or other difficult-to-access areas.
