The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and has the remote control for simple use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ Technology can easily transfer from tile, wood and area rugs to low-pile or area rugs. Other features that are standard include obstacle detection and drop detection that allow it to prevent bumps against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy line of robot vacuums provides a wide range of models, but there are some features that are standard across their line. One of these features is Boost IQ technology designed to help your robot effortlessly move from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting and rugs. It will automatically increase suction power when it comes across a certain surface type to ensure it is as clean as possible.
Another feature that is useful is the ability to switch between various 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 area without switching modes, Edge, which will concentrate on your walls and corners, and Spot that is best when there's an area that needs extra attention like baking soda spilled on the floor.
The eufy robot has all the essential features such as drop and obstacle detectors as well as an auto-emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection. This stops them from hitting furniture or walls.
Some of the eufy robots also have a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, much like the digital watches. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode, while blue indicates that it's on and working and a solid orange indicates that the eufy's running low on power and needs to return to its base.
The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated robotic vacuum, is perfect for those who are seeking a powerful machine with a long run time. It can also reach the furthest corners of your home. It has slim lines that fit under furniture and tight spaces, and a tempered glass cover that's scratch-resistant. It also has a physical control, smart sensors to help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning modes. However, it lacks a lot of the advanced features that other models do, such as digital mapping or apps-based control.
Powerful Suction
This vacuum cleaner features an impressive suction power of 2,000 pa, which is great to remove food crumbs, cereal crumbs, and other dust or debris on low- to medium pile carpeting and hard flooring. It can also remove dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstery furnishings. A rotating side brush helps to get into corners and along baseboards, while the rolling brush pulls dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is WiFi-connected, and is controlled by 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 can hold the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robotic vacuums come with several standard features. These include obstacle and drop detection, which stops it from hitting objects or falling down the stairs. Some models, like the eufy RoboVac11S and its re-engineered eufyRoboVac 30C MAX also come with advanced navigation systems that build and keep a virtual floor map so that it knows where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) each time it cleans.
You can set up specific areas and set up cleaning cycles for the eufy robot vacuum without the Alexa compatible app or voice commands. You can also block off rooms with delicate items, like your children's toys or console tables. This eufy model comes with a pair of bundled boundary strips that let you cordon off larger areas.
The RoboVac 11S Max is among our most efficient robotic vacuums. It has received top marks in both navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, with a single button to wake it up and an on/off switch beneath to ensure a constant shut-off. It also comes with a tempered-glass surface, ten sensors to steer away from obstacles, and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation system robot cleaner comes with iPath laser scanning technology, which creates and stores the floor map. It then uses that map to swiftly navigate to every part of your home and ensure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
Similar to many robotic vacuums that are available Eufy's models have intelligent features that allow you to manage your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, establish virtual boundaries to stop your robot from entering certain rooms (such ones with electrical cords) and use the'return to base feature'. Some allow you to create an outline of your home and mark areas where you'd like to get rid of.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners include a special navigation system called'smart mapping', which examines the floors in your home and creates a map it references every cleaning. This lets the vacuum effortlessly move from floors that are not clean to area rugs and back to the original location without missing any steps.
The RoboVac 25C, which is eufy, is a great example of this type of model. It has three different suction power settings that can be selected through the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which improves the performance of the machine when cleaning bare floors and "Max" which is designed to clean high-pile flooring.
Its battery performance is also outstanding, allowing the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default Standard mode. The vacuum also features an internal indicator for the battery that blinks blue when the vacuum is charging, and then pulsates orange when it's low on power, and then solidifies to blue when it's fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is another awesome feature. It allows you to force the vacuum cleaner to focus on a specific area by pressing a button near the bottom of the. This is a great method to clean pet hair or crumbs out of tight corners and under furniture where a traditional upright vacuum would have trouble.
The soft RoboVac also does a fantastic job at removing pet hair on various floor types, though it may require some additional passes to get rid of hairy areas that are stubborn in carpeting with a high or low pile. It's not as adept at getting hair out of cracks and crevices in carpeted floors as it is for naked floors. However, it does a great job of picking up pet fur from both bare and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The robot vacuum's suction can clean for an impressive 100 minutes, and then automatically return to its charging base. It is able to work on multiple floors, and comes with powerful vacuums that can clean everything from cereal pieces to glitter specks. A tough brush roll as well as a side brush let it reach corners and crevices that are out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be operated using the remote control that comes with it or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature that optimizes suction power according to the type of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots, the G30 Edge is designed to operate around your home, with the least amount of setup. Simply attach the edge brush rotating and connect to Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once connected, the app allows you to create cleaning routines and utilize voice commands using an intelligent home speaker compatible.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of flexibility which lets you choose the specific areas you want it to focus on and when you want it to clean. The app lets you create virtual boundaries that block the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles.
Some eufy models include an intuitive map that makes use of a combination of sensors to calculate the location of furniture and walls and creates a route to cover the area. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath which is more advanced. In these cases the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to generate a path, then follows it until the designated area is fully covered. The robot returns to its dock, from where it is charged and awaiting its next cleaning.
Other models of the eufy 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 a random path every when they start a cleaning session. While this can be frustrating at times, the robot will always cover the same areas repeatedly. It also rarely misses corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
