The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review

Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and comes with a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery life of 100 minutes.

Its Boost IQ Technology can easily move from wood, tile and area rugs, to low-pile and area rug. Other features included in the standard package include drop detection and obstacle detection which allow it to avoid hitting furniture and walls.

Boost IQ Technology

The eufy robot vacuum line offers a wide variety of models, however there are certain features that are standard across their line. Boost IQ is one such feature, which allows your robot to move effortlessly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area carpets. 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.

An important feature is the ability to manually switch between cleaning modes. This includes Quick Clean, which is ideal for a quick 30-minute sweep of the floor, Auto, which will work in an open area without switching modes, Edge, which will specifically focus on your walls and corners and Spot which is the best when there's a small area that needs extra attention such as 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. Obstacle and drop detection is standard on most robots as it stops them from bumping into walls or furniture and also prevents them from falling down stairs or into other areas which could pose danger.

Some of the eufy robots come with a variety of LED indicators that communicate with you, similar to the digital watches. A solid green signifies that the mini robot vacuum is in standby or Mini Robot Vacuum charging mode while blue indicates that it's working and on, and a solid orange indicates that the eufy's low on power and must return to its home base.

The eufy RoboVac 11S is a top-rated model that's an ideal choice for those who want a powerful robot vacuum with a long run time and the ability to reach even the most remote corners of your home. Its slim design can be tucked under furniture or in tight spaces. It also comes with an tempered glass cover that is scratch-resistant. There's also physical controls as well as smart sensors that help in navigation, and a variety of cleaning modes. It lacks some of the more advanced features of other models, including digital maps or app-based controls.

Powerful Suction

A powerful suction level of 2,000 pa makes this robot vacuum great to remove food pieces 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 removes pet hair and other tougher allergens from furniture that is upholstered. The side-brush that rotates can be useful in getting into corners and along baseboards. The rolling brush picks up dust, dirt and other debris that sticks to surfaces.

The 25C is Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled via apps on smartphones or via voice when connected to a smart home speaker such as an Amazon Echo or Mini Robot Vacuum Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging station that can hold the vacuum cleaner while not being used.

All eufy robotic cleaners come with a number standard features. These include obstacle and drop detection, which prevents it from running into objects or falling down the stairs. Some models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, offer advanced navigation systems which create and memorize an electronic map to know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.

You can tailor the cleaning cycle and set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum to stay clear of using the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. You can also cordon off sensitive areas, like areas that house toys for children or console tables. This model includes a pair of border strips that can be bundled to let you secure larger areas.

The RoboVac 11S Max is one of our best-performing robotic vacuums, receiving the top marks for navigation and cleaning. Its design is simple, having one button to get it going and an on/off switch beneath for a permanent shut-off. It also features an tempered glass surface and ten sensors to steer away from obstacles, and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 Liter dust bin. The new navigation system is equipped with iPath technology, which creates and stores a map of your floor. It makes use of this information to navigate quickly to every area of your home and ensure it covers every inch.

Convenient App Control

Eufy's models are equipped with sophisticated features that let you control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, define virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms stuffed with electrical cords) and set the return to base feature. Some of them allow you to draw a a map of the house and mark the areas you want to clean.

Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners come with a unique navigation system called'smart mapping', which examines the floors in your home and creates a map it uses every cleaning. This allows the vacuum to effortlessly transition from plain floors to area rugs and then back to the original location without missing any steps.

The RoboVac 25C from Eufy is a great example of this type of model. It comes with three suction power settings that can be selected using the companion app "Standard", "Turbo", which increases the machine's performance when cleaning bare floors and "Max", which is designed to clean flooring with high piles.

The vacuum's battery life is also very good robot vacuum. It can be used in its default "Standard" mode for up to 100 minutes. The vacuum comes with a built in indicator for the battery that flashes blue while it is charging, then changes to orange when power is low, and finally is fully charged and solid blue.

Another feature that is cool is the "Spot Cleaning' mode that lets you make the vacuum focus on a small, localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great method to clean pet hair or dust particles out of corners and under furniture which is where a traditional upright vacuum would struggle.

The elegant RoboVac does an excellent job on pet hair, however it may require some more passes in order to get rid of hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. Like many robotic cleaners, it's not as effective in getting hair out of crevices and cracks like it is with floors that are bare however, it does an overall excellent job of picking up pet hair from both carpeted and un-floored surfaces.

100 Minutes of Cleaning

The eufy robotic vacuum can provide an impressive 100 minutes of clean-up, with automatic return to its base for charging. It's able to work across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction unit that can take anything from cereal pieces to glitter specks of dust with ease. It has a durable brush roll, and a side brush that helps it reach corners and crevices that other robots may not be able to reach.

The battery-powered robot vacuum operates on hard floors and carpets, and it is controlled by the remote control that comes with it or by using your smart home or smartphone assistant to send commands over Wi-Fi. You can also alter Boost IQ which can optimize the suction power based on the type of floor that the vac is working.

Like other eufy robots the G30 Edge is designed to work around your home, with minimal set-up. It takes only a few minutes to connect the edge brushes rotating in a circular motion and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app lets you to create cleaning routines and utilize voice commands via a smart home speaker that is compatible with.

This level of personalization is available on many elegant robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose which areas you'd like it clean and when. The app can also define virtual boundaries that can be used to block the robot from entering rooms where there may be electrical cords or other obstacles that you'd prefer not to sweep up.

Some eufy products include an intuitive map that makes use of a combination of sensors to determine the location of furniture and walls. It then plots a route that will cover the areas. Others employ a more advanced navigational technology known as iPath. In these cases, the robotic vacuum applies an algorithm to intelligently generate a path, then follows it until the specified area is covered. The robot then returns to its dock, where it is charged and waits for its next cleaning.

Other models of the eufy vacuum do not have this level of intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the most affordable and don't utilize a digital map system. Instead, they plot an undetermined path each when they start 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 corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
