The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review
Eufy robot vacuums are renowned for being easy to use. Its eufy RoboVac 30C model is Wi-Fi-enabled and includes a remote control for convenient use via the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a 100-minute battery life.
Its Boost IQ technology lets you move from wood and tile to carpeting with a low-pile and area rug without any hassle. Other standard features include obstacle and drop detection which allow it to avoid bumping against walls and furniture.
Boost IQ Technology
The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with many models. However certain features are common to all. Boost IQ is one such feature, which helps your robot mop vacuum move smoothly from hard flooring to medium to low pile carpeting and area rug. It will automatically increase its suction power when it runs over a particular type of surface in order to get the most effective cleaning possible.
An important feature is the ability to manually switch between cleaning modes. The Quick Clean mode is perfect for a quick, 30-minute sweep of the floor. Auto will work in the vast space without changing modes. Edge will focus on corners and walls.
The eufy robot has all the essential features such as obstacle and drop detectors and an automatic emptying base. The majority of robots come with an obstacle and drop detection system. This prevents them hitting furniture or walls.
Certain eufy robots come with LED indicators that let you know what they're doing like the digital clock. A solid green signal means that the robot is in charging or standby mode. Blue indicates that it is on and working. And a solid orange means that your eufy has run out of power and needs to return to its base.
The RoboVac 11S by Eufy is a top-rated model that's a good fit for those who want an effective robot vacuum with an extended run time, including its ability to reach the farthest corners of your home. It's slim lines that fit under furniture and tight spaces, as well as the glass cover is tempered and resistant to scratches. It also has an actual remote control, smart sensors for navigation, and several cleaning modes. It doesn't come with many of the sophisticated features that some of the other models in the line do, such as digital mapping or app-based control.
Powerful Suction
This robot vacuum has a powerful suction of 2,000 pa that is ideal to remove cereal crumbs, food particles, and other debris or dust on medium- to low pile carpeting and hard flooring. It also collects pet hair and other tougher allergens off furniture upholstery. The side-brush that rotates is useful 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 Wi-Fi and can be controlled using a smartphone app or by voice when it is connected to a smart home speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant. It also comes with a small charging station that houses the vacuum cleaner while not being used.
All eufy robotic vacuums include several standard features. These include drop and obstacle detection, which keeps it from running into objects or falling down stairs. Certain models, such as the eufy RoboVac11S or its re-engineered predecessor, the eufy RoboVac 30C Max, provide advanced navigation systems that create and memorize the virtual map to know where it is supposed to go (and avoid) every time it cleans.
You can create specific areas and customize cleaning cycles for the eufy robotic vacuum, without the Alexa compatible app or voice controls. Additionally, you can block off rooms with fragile items, like your kids' toys or console tables. The eufy comes with two boundary strips that allow you to fence off larger spaces.
The RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best-performing robotic vacuums we tested with high marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to get it going and an on/off switch below to ensure a constant shut-off. It also has a tempered-glass surface with ten sensors that help steer away from obstacles and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. Its redesigned navigation system is equipped iPath technology, which creates and stores a map for your floor. 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
Eufy's models have smart features that let you control your device remotely. You can set up cleaning times, set virtual boundaries to prevent your robot from entering certain rooms (such as those with electrical cords) and use the'return to base feature'. Some allow you to create an outline of your home and mark the areas you wish to clean.
Some of eufy's top-of-the-line robotic cleaners feature a specific navigation system called'smart mapping', which examines the floors in your home and builds a map that it refers to each cleaning. This enables the vacuum cleaner to move seamlessly between plain floors and area rugs, and back again, without missing the step.
The RoboVac 25C, for example, is a fantastic illustration of this model. It comes with three distinct suction power settings that you can select through its companion app: 'Standard' as well as 'Turbo' which boosts the machine's performance for cleaning floors with no carpet and 'Max' which is designed for high-pile carpeting.
Its battery performance is excellent it allows the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its default 'Standard' mode. The vacuum is equipped with built-in indicator for batteries that flashes blue when it's charging, then turns orange when the power is low, and finally solidifies blue when fully charged.
The "Spot Cleaning Mode' is a amazing feature. It lets you force the vacuum cleaner to focus on a localized area by pressing a button on the bottom of the. This is a great way to get crumbs or pet hair out of tight corners or under furniture where a conventional vacuum might struggle to reach.
The soft RoboVac does a great job on pet hair, but it might need to make a few more passes in order to remove hairy patches from both high and low pile carpeting. It's not as adept at removing hair from crevices and cracks on carpeted floors as it is on naked floors. However, it does a great job picking up pet fur from both naked and covered surfaces.
100 Minutes of Cleaning
The eufy robot vacuum can be cleaned for up to 100 minutes, then automatically return to its charging base. It's capable of working across many floors and is equipped with a powerful suction that can take everything from cereal chunks to glitter specks with ease. A durable brush roll and a side brush let it reach corners and crevices that aren't within reach for other robots.
The battery-powered robo-vacuum is controlled using the remote control that comes with it or by sending commands over Wi-Fi with your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also alter Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power according to the type of floor that the vacuum is working on.
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 attach the rotating edge brushes and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once connected to the internet, you can use the app to create an agenda for cleaning and voice commands through a compatible smart home speaker.
This level of customization is available on a variety of eufy robotic vacuum cleaners. You can choose the areas you'd like it to clean and when. The app lets you set virtual boundaries that prevent the robot from entering areas where there may be electrical wires, or other obstacles.
Certain models of eufy include an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to calculate the location of furniture and walls and shows a route for covering the area. Other models use an algorithm for navigation called iPath, which is a more advanced. In these cases the robotic vacuum employs an algorithm to intelligently 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 eufy's robot vacuum do not possess this level of intelligence. These models, which are typically the cheapest in the lineup do not have a digital mapping system but instead draw an unpredictably zig-zag route each time they begin a cleaning session. While this can be frustrating at times, the eufy robot is always able to cover the same spots over and over again. It is also not able to miss corners or other hard-to-reach areas.
