The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are renowned for their ease of use. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with an remote control that allows for easy app operation. It also comes with boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ Technology is able to move from wood, tile and area rugs, to low-pile and area rug. Other features that are standard include drop detection and obstacle detection, which allows it to avoid hitting walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The eufy robotic vacuum line has a variety of models. However certain features are common to all models. One of them is Boost IQ technology designed to assist your robot seamlessly transition from hard flooring to low- to medium-pile carpeting and carpets. It will automatically increase suction power when it runs across a certain surface type to ensure the most effective cleaning possible.
Another feature that is useful is the ability to manually switch between various cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of the floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will really focus on the corners and walls, and Spot which is the best when there's a small area that requires extra attention, such as baking soda that has been spilled.
Of course, the eufy robot also has the basic capabilities such as drop detection and obstacle detection, as well as self-emptying bases. Most robots have an obstacle and drop detection system. This stops them from hitting furniture or walls.
Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that let you know what they're up to like an electronic clock. A solid green indicates that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue indicates that it's active and working and a solid red indicates that your eufy is running out of power and needs to return to its base.
The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a top-rated model and an ideal choice for those who want an effective robot vacuum with an extended run time, including its ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. It features an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and in tight spaces, as well as an tempered glass cover that's resistant to scratches. There is also a physical control and smart sensors to assist with navigation, as well as various cleaning options. It's missing some of the more advanced features of other models, such as digital maps or app-based controls.
Powerful Suction
A powerful suction rate of 2,000 pounds makes this vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks, cereal crumbs, and other dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpeting. It also sucks up pet hair and other allergens off furniture upholstery. The rotating side brush is great for reaching into corners and along baseboards. The brush is able to pick up dirt, dust and other debris that adheres to surfaces.
The 25C is Wi-Fi-connected and can be controlled using apps on smartphones or via voice when paired with a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging base that holds the vacuum when not in use.
All eufy robot vacuums come with a number of standard features, including drop and obstacle detection to prevent it from hitting things or falling down the stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac 11S as well as its re-engineered successor the eufy RoboVac 30C MAX, also come with advanced navigation systems that build and keep a virtual floor map so that it knows where to go (and the best places to stay away from) every time it cleans.
You can personalize cleaning cycles, set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. You can also robot vacuum that vacuums and mops secure sensitive areas, like areas that house toys for children or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips which allow you to secure larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S Max is among our most efficient robotic vacuums, receiving the top marks for cleaning and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to wake it up and an on/off switch beneath to ensure a constant shut-off. It also comes with an tempered glass surface and ten sensors to avoid obstacles and it has a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. Its redesigned navigation system is equipped with iPath technology that creates and stores a floor map for your floor. It uses this information to swiftly navigate to every area of your home and make sure it covers every inch.
Convenient App Control
Eufy's models come with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, establish virtual boundaries to stop your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those that have electrical cords) and utilize the'return to base feature'. Some even let you create the map of your home and mark areas where you'd like to clean.
The most advanced eufy robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system, referred to as'smart mapping'. It scans your home's floors and builds a map that it refers to each cleaning. This allows the vacuum to move seamlessly from bare floors to area rugs and back to the original location without missing any steps.
The eufy RoboVac 25C is a good example of this type of model. It comes with three suction power settings that can be selected via the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the performance of the machine when cleaning bare floors and "Max" which is specifically designed to clean floors with high piles.
Its battery performance is also excellent, allowing the vacuum to run for as long as 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with a built in indicator for the battery that flashes blue when it's charging, then changes to orange when the power is low, and then is fully charged and solid blue.
The 'Spot Cleaning Mode' is another amazing feature. It lets you force the vacuum cleaner to concentrate on a specific area, by pressing a button at the bottom of the. This is a great way to clean pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture in areas where an upright vacuum would struggle.
The soft RoboVac does an excellent job on pet hair, but it may require a few more passes to get rid of hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. As with most robotic cleaners it's not as adept at getting hair out of crevices and cracks like it is with floors that are bare but it does a great job of picking up pet hair from both bare and carpeted surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of cleaning, with a self-return to its base to charge. It's capable of working across several floors and comes with a powerful suction system that can pick up everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks in a matter of minutes. A tough brush roll as well as a side brush help it reach the corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robovac works on carpets and hard floors, and it can be controlled via the remote control included or using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also adjust the Boost IQ feature that optimizes suction power according to the type of floor the vac is working on.
The G30 Edge, like other robots that are eufy are designed to move around your home in a simple way. It takes only a few minutes to attach the rotating edge brushes and connect to your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app allows you to set up a cleaning routine and use voice commands with an intelligent home speaker compatible.
Many eufy robots provide 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 app lets you create virtual boundaries that block the robot from entering areas where there could be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Some of the eufy models include an intuitive map that makes use of a combination of sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls. It then creates a route to cover the areas. Other models use a navigational technology called iPath which is more sophisticated. In these cases the robot vacuum employs an algorithm to intelligently create a path and then follows it until it covers the area that is designated. The robot then returns to its dock and starts charging and waits for its next scheduled cleaning.
Other models of the eufy robot vacuum do not have this level of intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the cheapest and do not use a digital map system. Instead, they plot an undetermined path each when they begin a cleaning session. Although this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot will always cover the same areas over and over again. It is also not able to miss corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
