The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and comes with an wireless remote control making it simple to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can transfer from tile and wood to carpeting with a low-pile and area rug without a hitch. Other features that are standard include drop detection and obstacle detection, which allows it to prevent bumps against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has several models. However certain features are common to all models. One of them is Boost IQ technology that is specifically designed to aid your robot seamlessly transition from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting and rug. It will automatically boost suction power when it comes into contact with a particular type of surface to ensure it is as clean as is possible.
Another great feature 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 a large space without changing modes. Edge will focus on corners and walls.
The eufy robot comes with all the essential features such as drop and obstacle detection as well as an auto-emptying base. Obstacle and drop detection is standard on most robots as it prevents them from bumping into walls or furniture and keeps them from falling down stairs or other areas that could be hazardous.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that tell you what they're doing like an electronic clock. A solid green signal means that the robot is standby or charging mode. Blue means it is on and working. And a solid orange indicates that your eufy is out of energy 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 and the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. It's a slim design that fits under furniture and in tight spaces, as well as an tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. There's also an actual remote control as well as 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
This robot vacuum has an impressive suction of 2,000 pa, which is great for picking up cereal crumbs, food crumbs, and other debris or dust on low- to medium pile carpeting and hard floors. It can also remove pet hair, dust mites and other allergens off of upholstered furnishings. The rotating side brush is great for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick dust, dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to WiFi and is controlled by an app on your smartphone. It can also be controlled via voice commands when paired with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also comes with a handy charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner while not being used.
All Eufy robot vacuums have a number of standard features, like obstacle and drop detection to prevent it from running into things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered successor the eufy RoboVac 30C MAX have advanced navigation systems that create and keep a virtual floor map so it is aware of where to go (and which areas to stay clear of) every time it cleans.
You can set up certain areas and tailor cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum without using the Alexa compatible app or voice commands. You can also block off rooms with fragile items, like the toys of your children or console tables. This eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to secure larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac11S Max is among our most efficient robotic vacuums, receiving the top marks for navigation and cleaning. Its design is pared-back with a single button on the top of the unit to get it going and an on/off switch underneath for a permanent turn-off, as well as a tempered glass surface and ten infrared sensors that steer clear of obstacles, and the 0.15-gallons or 0.6-liter dust bin. Its new navigation system has been redesigned and equipped with iPath technology that creates and stores a map for your floor. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each part of your home and ensure that it covers every square inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
As is the case with many robot vacuums on the market the models from eufy come with intelligent features that allow you to control your device from a distance. You can plan 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 allow you to create a map of your home and mark areas you'd like to clean.
Some of the top-of-the line vacuum cleaners made by eufy have a navigation system dubbed "smart mapping" that scans your home and builds a map it refers to every time it cleans. This allows the vacuum cleaner to seamlessly move between plain floors and area rugs, and then back to the beginning, without missing a step.
The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great illustration of this model. It has three suction power settings that you can choose through 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.
The battery life is impressive it allows the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum also comes with an inbuilt battery indicator that flashes blue when it is charging, then turns orange when it's low on power, and solidifies to blue once it's fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is another cool feature. It allows you to force the vacuum cleaner to concentrate on a specific area, by pressing a button at the bottom of the. This is great for getting pet hair or crumbs out of corners or under furniture, where a traditional vacuum would be unable to reach.
The elegant RoboVac also does an admirable job of removing cleaning robots pet hair from different types of floors, although it might need some additional passes to get rid of stubborn patches of hair in carpets with high and low pile. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as adept at getting hair out of crevices and cracks as it is with floors that are bare however, it does an overall excellent job of removing pet hair from carpeted and un-floored surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum provides an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning, with automatic return to its base to charge. It's able to work across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction system that can pick up everything from chunks of cereal to glitter specks with ease. A sturdy brush roll and a side brush let it reach corners and crevices that might be out of reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be controlled using the remote control that comes with it or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi using your smartphone or smart-home assistant. You can also alter the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power according to the kind of floor it is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home and requires minimal installation. Simply attach the edge brush rotating and connect to your Wi-Fi in only a few minutes. Once it's connected and you're able to make use of the app to design an agenda for cleaning and voice commands through the compatible smart speaker.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of personalization, which allows you to select the specific areas that you would like it to focus on and when you want it to clean. The application can also create virtual boundaries, which can be used to block the robot from entering rooms where there might be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd rather not vacuum up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses sensors to calculate the location of furniture and walls, and shows a route for covering them. Some models employ a more advanced navigational system known as iPath. In these cases the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to generate the path and follows it until the specified area is completely covered. The robot then returns to its dock and is charged and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuums do not possess this level of intelligence. These entry-level models are usually the cheapest and do not employ an electronic map system. Instead, they plot a random path every when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same spots over and over again. It also rarely misses any corners or other difficult to reach places.
