The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy is known for making easy-to-use robot vacuums that are easy to use. Eufy's RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes the remote control for simple use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.
Its Boost IQ technology can move from wood and tile to low-pile carpeting and area rug without a hitch. Other features included in the standard package include obstacle and drop detection that allow it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has a variety of models, however there are some features that are standard across their lineup. One of them is Boost IQ technology designed to assist your robot seamlessly transition from hard floors to low- to medium-pile carpeting and rug. It will automatically increase suction power whenever it comes into contact with a particular surface type to make sure it is as clean as possible.
Another feature that is useful is the ability to switch between a variety of 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 corners and walls.
Of course, the eufy robotic also comes with basic features such as drop detection and obstacle detection, as well as a self-emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection system. This means that they are not able to hit walls or furniture.
A number of the eufy robotics come with a variety of LED indicators that can communicate with you, similar to a digital watch. A solid green signal means that the robot is in standby or charging mode. Blue means it is functioning and on. And a solid orange signalizes that your eufy has run out of power and needs to go back to its home base.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a highly rated model that's an ideal fit for those who want an effective robot vacuum with long run times and the ability to reach the most remote corners of your home. It has an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and in tight spaces, and an tempered glass cover that's scratch resistant. It also has an actual control as well as smart sensors that help in navigation, 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 vacuum ideal for removing food particles cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of debris or dust on hard floors as well as carpeting with a low to medium pile. It also gets rid of dust mites, pet hair and other allergens from upholstered furniture. The side-brush that rotates can be useful in getting into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks dust, dirt and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is connected to Wi-Fi and can be controlled via an app on your smartphone or via voice when paired with a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.
All eufy robotic vacuums come with several standard features. These include drop and obstacle detection, which prevents it from running into objects or falling down stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the RoboVac 30C Max have advanced navigation systems that create and memorize a virtual map to help it know where it should go (and avoid) each time it cleans.
You can customize cleaning cycles, set specific areas for the robot vacuum to not use the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. You can also cordon off sensitive areas, like those containing your children's toys or console tables. This model comes with two bundled boundary strips that let you cordon off larger areas.
The eufy RoboVac11S Max is among our most efficient robotic vacuums, earning high marks in navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple and has one button at the top to turn it on and an on/off switch beneath for a permanent turn-off and also a glass-tempered surface and ten infrared sensors that steer clear of obstacles and a 0.15-gallons or 0.6-liter dust bin. Its re-engineered navigation device comes with iPath laser scanning technology that builds and stores a map of your floor. It then uses that map to quickly navigate to each area of the house and make sure it covers every inch of your floor.
Convenient App Control
As is the case with many robot vacuums on the market the models from eufy come with smart features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to set cleaning times, designate virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms that are stuffed with electrical cords) and set the'return to base' feature. Some even let you draw a a map of your home and mark areas where you want to clean.
The top eufy robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping', which analyzes the floors of your home and builds a map that it refers to each cleaning. This lets the vacuum effortlessly transition from plain floors to area rugs, and back without skipping any steps.
The RoboVac 25C is a great illustration of this model. It comes with three suction power settings that can be selected via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo" which boosts the performance of the machine in cleaning floors with no dust and "Max", which is designed to clean flooring with high piles.
Its battery performance is also excellent and allows the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum comes with an inbuilt indicator for batteries that blinks blue when it is charging, then turns orange when the power is low, and then solidifies blue when fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is another cool feature. It lets you force the vacuum cleaner to focus on a specific area by pressing a button on the base of the. This is ideal for getting pet hair or crumbs out of corners or from under furniture, where a traditional vacuum would be unable to reach.
The elegant RoboVac is a great choice for cleaning on pet hair, however it may require several more passes in order to eliminate hairy patches from high and low pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as adept in removing hair from crevices and cracks like it is on floors that are unfinished however, it does a great job of removing pet hair from carpeted and un-floored surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning time, with a self-return to its base to charge. It's able to work across several floors and comes with a powerful suction that can take everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks of dust with ease. It has a durable brush roll, and a side brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots may not be able to access.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be controlled using the remote control provided or by transmitting commands over Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature which maximizes suction power depending on what kind of floor the vac is working on.
Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to be able to work in your home and requires the least amount of installation. Snap on the edge brush that rotates and connect to your Wi-Fi network in less than a minute. Once connected, the app allows users to create a cleaning routine and use voice commands via a smart home speaker that is compatible with.
A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of flexibility that lets you choose the specific areas you want to focus it on and the time you would like it to clean. The app allows you to define virtual boundaries that are used to stop the robot from entering rooms where there may be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd rather not vacuum up.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses sensors that determine the position of furniture and walls, and shows a route for covering the area. Others use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is more advanced. In these instances the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to create the path and follows it until the designated area is covered. The robot returns to its dock and is charged, waiting for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of eufy's robotic vacuum do not have this level intelligence. These entry-level models are usually the cheapest and do not use an electronic map system. Instead, they chart a random path every when they start cleaning. Although this can be frustrating at times, the robot is always able to cover the same areas repeatedly. Moreover, it rarely does not miss any corners or other hard to reach places.
