The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are known for their ease of use. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also has boundary strips and has an endurance of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology is able to move from wood, tile and area rugs to low-pile and area rugs. Other standard features include obstacle detection and drop detection which allow it to prevent bumps against furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has many models. However certain features are common to all of them. One of these features is Boost IQ technology that is designed to assist your robot move seamlessly from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting as well as area carpets. It will automatically increase its suction force when it comes over a particular type of surface to ensure that you get the best possible clean.
A great feature is the manual switch between cleaning modes. These include 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 really focus on your walls and corners, and Spot that is best when there's a small space that requires extra attention, like baking soda spilled on the floor.
Of course, the eufy robotic also has the essential capabilities like obstacle and drop detection, as well as self-emptying bases. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.
Certain eufy robots come with LED indicators that let you know what they're up to similar to an electronic clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's active and working and a solid red indicates that the eufy's low on power and has to go back to its base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model that's a good fit for those looking for a powerful robot vacuum with a long run time, including its ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. It features an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and tight spaces, as well as a tempered glass cover that's scratch resistant. There's also an actual control, smart sensors to help with navigation, and different cleaning options. It lacks some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful 2,000-pa suction level makes this robot vacuum great for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors as well as carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also collects pet hair and other tougher allergens from furniture that is upholstered. The rotating side brush is useful for getting into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick up dirt, dust and other debris that stick to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled via an app on your smartphone or via voice when connected to smart home speakers 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 eufy robot vacuums come with many standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to stop it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, offer advanced navigation systems which create and memorize a virtual map to help it know where it should go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can set up certain areas and tailor cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without using the Alexa compatible app or voice-controlled controls. You can also secure sensitive areas, like areas that house toys for children or console tables. This eufy model also comes with two bundled boundary strips that let you cordon off larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S Max is one of our best-performing robotic vacuums. It has received top marks in both navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, with just one button on the top to wake it up and an on/off switch underneath for a continuous shut-off and also an tempered glass surface with ten infrared sensors to avoid obstacles and an 0.15-gallons / 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system comes with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores the floor map. It then uses that information to quickly navigate to each part of your home and ensure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
As is the case with many robotic vacuums available on the market Eufy's models have intelligent features that let you control your device from a distance. You can set up cleaning times, establish virtual boundaries to stop your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and also use the'return back to base feature'. Some of them allow you to draw a a map of the house and mark the areas you wish to clean.
The top of the line vacuum cleaners that eufy makes use of include a navigation system called "smart mapping" that analyzes your home and creates an image of the map it is referring to each time it cleans. This allows the vacuum to move seamlessly from bare floors to area rugs, and back again without skipping any steps.
The eufy RoboVac 25C is a perfect example of this model. It has three different suction power settings you can select through the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which boosts the efficiency of the machine in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max", which is specifically designed to clean floors with high piles.
The vacuum's battery life is also impressive. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum comes with an inbuilt indicator for the battery that flashes blue when it's charging, then turns orange when the power is low, and finally solidifies blue when fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is another amazing feature. It allows you to force the vacuum cleaner to focus on a specific area, by pressing a button on the base of the. This is a great method to get pet hair or dust from tight corners and under furniture in areas where an upright vacuum would have trouble.
The elegant RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning on pet hair, however it might need to make a few more passes in order to eliminate stubborn patches of hair from low- and high pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices as it is on bare floors however, it does a great job of removing pet hair from both bare and carpeted surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum provides an impressive 100 minutes of clean-up, with automatic return to its base for charging. It is able to work on multiple floors, and is equipped with powerful vacuums that can remove anything from cereal chunks to glitter particles. A durable brush roll and an additional side brush allow it to reach crevices and corners that are out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is operated using the remote control included or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant or smartphone. You can also adjust Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power in accordance with the kind of floor on which the vac is working.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy are designed to move around your home in a minimalist way. Simply attach the edge brush that rotates and connect to your Wi-Fi network in less than a minute. Once connected, the app allows you to create a cleaning routine and use voice commands with a smart home speaker compatible.
Many eufy robots offer this level of personalization that lets you choose the specific areas you want to focus it on and when you want it to clean. The app allows you to set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map which uses a combination of sensors to determine the position of walls and furniture and creates a route to cover them. Other models use a navigational technology called iPath which is more sophisticated. In these instances robot vacuums use an algorithm that creates an iPath path, and then follow it until it reaches the specified area. The robot returns to its dock where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuum do not have this level intelligence. These 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 robot cleaner with mop they begin cleaning. Although this can be a bit frustrating but the eufy robot cleaner always covers the same areas. Moreover, it rarely misses any corners or other difficult to reach areas.
