The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes a remote control for convenient application operation. It also comes with boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ technology can transfer from tile and wood to carpeting with low pile and area rug without a hitch. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection, allowing it to keep from hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has several models. However, certain features are common to all. One such feature is Boost IQ technology designed to assist your robot effortlessly move from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting as well as area carpets. It will automatically boost suction power when it comes into contact with a particular surface type to make sure it is as clean as possible.
Another great feature is the ability to change between various 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.
The eufy robot has all the basic features like obstacle and drop detectors and an automatic emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is a common feature on most robots as it stops them from bumping into walls or furniture and keeps them from falling down stairs or into other areas which could pose danger.
Some of the eufy robots also come with a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, much like an electronic watch. A solid green signalizes that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's on and working and a solid red indicates that the eufy's low on power and has to go back to its original location.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a highly rated robot vacuum, is ideal for those who are looking for a powerful robot with a long run time. It can also reach the furthest corners of your house. It features an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and in tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. There's also an actual remote control and smart sensors to help navigate, and a variety of cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or apps-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction rate of 2,000 pounds makes this robot vacuum great to remove food pieces cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors and carpeting with a low to medium pile. It can also remove dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstered furniture. The side brush that rotates is great for getting into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick up dust, dirt and other debris that stick to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled using a smartphone app or by voice when paired with 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 it is not in use.
All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with several standard features, like drop and obstacle detection to stop it from running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, have advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map to help it know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can set up specific areas and customize cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. You can also cordon off sensitive rooms, such as the ones that contain toys for your children or console tables. This eufy model includes a pair of bounding strips that allow you block off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums we tested and has received top marks for both cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple with one button on the top of the unit to get it going and an on/off switch underneath to turn off the vacuum permanently and a glass-tempered surface with ten infrared sensors to avoid obstacles and an 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. Its new navigation system has been redesigned and equipped iPath technology, which creates and stores a floor map for your floor. The system then uses this information to quickly navigate to each room in your house and make sure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
As is the case with many robotic vacuums on the market the models from eufy come with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. This allows you to schedule cleaning times, designate 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 let you create an outline of your home and mark the areas you wish to clean.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system called'smart mapping'. It analyzes the floors of your home and creates a map it references every cleaning. This lets the vacuum move seamlessly from bare floors to area rugs, and back again without skipping any steps.
The eufy RoboVac 25C is a great illustration of this kind of model. It comes with three distinct suction power modes can be selected through its app companion: Standard, 'Turbo', which increases the efficiency of the machine when cleaning floors with no carpet and 'Max' which is specifically designed for high-pile carpeting.
The battery life of the vacuum is also impressive. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum is equipped with a built in indicator for the battery that flashes blue when it's charging, and then turns orange when the power is low, and then solidifies blue when fully charged.
Another great feature is the "Spot Cleaning mode that lets you force the vacuum to focus on a small, localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to get pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners or under furniture, in areas where an upright vacuum would have trouble.
The eufy RoboVac does a great job of removing pet hair, but it may need to make several more passes to get rid of hairy patches from low- and high pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as effective in getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on floors that are unfinished, but it does a fantastic job of picking up pet hair from both carpeted and bare surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with a self-return to its base for charging. It is able to work on multiple floors, and comes with an efficient vacuum that can clean anything from cereal chunks to glitter particles. It comes with a tough brush roll, and an additional brush that helps it reach corners and crevices that other robots may not be able to access.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is operated using the remote control provided or by sending commands via Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power according to the kind of floor the vac is working on.
As with other eufy robotics, the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home, with only minimal installation. Simply attach the edge brush that rotates and connect to Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once connected, the app lets you to set up a cleaning routine and use voice commands using a smart home speaker that is compatible with.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of flexibility that lets you select the specific areas you want it to focus on and the times you'd like it to clean. The app allows you to set top robot vacuum virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from getting into areas where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Some eufy models include an intuitive map that uses sensors that determine the location of furniture and walls, and plots a route to cover them. Other models employ 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 desired area is fully covered. The robot then returns to its dock, where it is charged and waits for its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuum don't have this level of intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the most affordable and don't utilize an electronic map system. Instead, they map an undetermined path each when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be a bit frustrating but the eufy robot cleaner always covers the same areas. Moreover, it rarely fails to cover corners or other difficult to reach places.
