The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are renowned for their ease of use. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and comes with wireless remote controls that makes it easy to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and the capacity of a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can move from wood and tile to carpeting with a low-pile and area rugs without any hassle. 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 includes several models. However certain features are common to all. One of these features is Boost IQ technology, which is designed to assist your robot move seamlessly from hard floors to low to medium-pile carpeting and rugs. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs across a certain surface type to ensure that you get the best clean possible.
Another feature that is useful is the ability to manually switch between various cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick, 30-minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in an area with a lot of space without switching modes. Edge will focus on the walls and corners.
Of course, the eufy robot also comes with basic features such as drop detection and obstacle detection, as well as self-emptying bases. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This prevents them hitting walls or furniture.
Many of the eufy robots come with a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, much like a digital watch. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode, while blue indicates that it's on and working, and a solid orange indicates that your eufy is low on power and has to go back to its original location.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model that's an ideal choice for those looking for a powerful robot vacuum with a long run time as well as the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. It features an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and in tight spaces, and the glass cover is tempered and scratch resistant. It also has a physical remote control as well as smart sensors to help navigate, and a variety of cleaning modes. However, it doesn't have many of the sophisticated features that some of the other models in the line include, such as digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction rate of 2,000 pounds makes this vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of dust or debris on hard floors as well as carpets with a low-to-medium pile. It can also remove dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstered furniture. A rotating side-brush helps get into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush pulls dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled from apps on smartphones or via voice when connected to a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small base for charging that can be used to store the vacuum when not in use.
All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with a number of standard features, including obstacle and drop detection to avoid hitting things or falling down the stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, have advanced navigation systems that create and store a virtual map to help it know where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles or set specific areas to the eufy robot vacuum, and set specific areas to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice control. And you can also cordon off rooms that contain sensitive items, such as your children's toys or console tables. This eufy has two boundary strips that allow you to fence off larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S MAX is among the top-performing robotic vacuums in our tests and has received high marks for cleaning capabilities and navigation. Its design is simple, with only one button to get it going, an on/off switch below for a continuous shut-off. It also has a tempered-glass surface with ten sensors that help avoid obstacles and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 liter dust bin. Its redesigned navigation system is equipped with iPath technology that creates and stores a floor map for your floor. It uses this information to quickly navigate to every area of your home and ensure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models have smart features that let you control your device remotely. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, define 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 of them allow you to draw a a map of the house and mark the areas you would like to clean.
The top of the line robotic cleaners from eufy include the navigation system known as "smart mapping" that analyzes your home and creates an image of the map it is referring to each time it cleans. This enables the vacuum cleaner to effortlessly move between bare floors and area rugs, and then back again, without missing the step.
The RoboVac 25C is a perfect illustration of this model. It comes with three distinct suction power settings that can be selected through its app companion: Standard and 'Turbo'. This boosts the machine's performance for cleaning bare floors and 'Max' which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is outstanding it allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with built-in battery indicator which blinks blue when it is charging, then turns orange when power is low, and finally it turns blue when fully charged.
Another great feature is the 'Spot Cleaning' mode that lets you force the vacuum to concentrate on a narrow specific area by pressing a button on its base. This is ideal for getting pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or from under furniture where a conventional vacuum would be unable to reach.
The eufy RoboVac also does a fantastic job at removing pet hair on different types of floors, although it may require several more passes to get rid of hairy areas that are stubborn in low- and high-pile carpeting. Like most robotic cleaners, it's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on floors that are unfinished, but it does a fantastic job of removing pet hair from both carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The robot vacuum's suction can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, and then it will automatically return to its charging base. It's able of working on multiple floors and comes equipped with a powerful suction system that can pick up anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks of dust with ease. A tough brush roll as well as a side brush let it reach crevices and corners that might be out of reach for other robots.
The robo-vacuum powered by batteries can be operated via the remote control included or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smartphone or smart-home assistant. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature, which optimizes suction power based on the kind of floor it is working on.
Like other eufy robots, the G30 Edge is designed to be able to work in your home, with minimal installation. It takes only a few minutes to connect the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your Wi-Fi network at home. Once connected, the app allows you to create cleaning routines and utilize voice commands using an intelligent home speaker compatible.
Many eufy robots provide this level of personalization, which allows you to select the specific areas that you want it to focus on and the times you'd like it to clean. The app can also create virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent robots that vacuum and mop the robot from entering rooms where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to clean up.
Some of the eufy models include an intuitive map, which utilizes a combination of sensors to determine the positions of walls and furniture. It then plots a route that will cover the area. Others employ a more advanced navigational system known as iPath. In these cases, the robotic vacuum applies an algorithm to intelligently generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the designated area is fully covered. The robot then returns to its dock where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuums do not have this level intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the cheapest and do not employ a digital map system. Instead, they chart a random route every when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same areas over and over again. In addition, it never fails to cover corners or other hard to access areas.
