The Eufy Robot Vacuum Review

Eufy is a household name for its easy-to-use robot vacuums. The Eufy RoboVac 30C is Wi-Fi enabled and includes wireless remote controls to make it easy to use the app. It also comes with boundary strips and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes.

Its Boost IQ technology lets you move from tile and wood to carpeting with low pile and area rugs without any hassle. Other features that are standard include drop and obstacle detection, which lets it avoid hitting walls and furniture.

Boost IQ Technology

The Eufy robotic vacuum line comes with many models. However, certain features are common to all models. Boost IQ is one such feature, which helps your robot move smoothly from hard floors to low to medium pile carpeting and self cleaning robot vacuum area rugs. It will automatically increase its suction power when it comes across a specific type of surface to ensure the best possible clean.

Another great feature is the ability to change between various cleaning modes. These include Quick Clean, which is great for a 30-minute fast sweep of your floor, Auto, which will work in an open space without switching modes, Edge, which will really focus on your walls and corners and Spot which is the best when there's a small area that requires extra attention, like baking soda spilled on the floor.

Of course, the eufy robotic also has the basic capabilities like drop and obstacle detection, as well as a self-emptying base. Most robots have a standard obstacle and drop detection. This means that they are not able to hit furniture or walls.

Some eufy robotics come with LED indicators that inform you of what they are doing similar to an electronic clock. A solid green signifies that the robot is in standby or charging mode while blue means that it's active and working, and a solid orange indicates that your eufy is low on power and has to go back to its base.

The RoboVac 11S is a highly rated robot vacuum, is perfect for those seeking a powerful machine with a long-lasting running time. It is also able to get to the most remote corners of your house. It's an ultra-slim design that can fit under furniture and tight spaces, and a tempered glass cover that's scratch resistant. There's also an actual remote control, smart sensors for navigation, and multiple cleaning modes. It's not equipped with some of the more advanced features of other models, like digital maps or apps-based controls.

Powerful Suction

A powerful suction level of 2,000 pa makes this vacuum ideal for picking up food chunks cereal crumbs, food particles, and other bits of dirt or dust that accumulate on hard floors as well as low- to medium-pile carpeting. It also gets rid of pet hair, dust mites and other allergens from upholstery furnishings. 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 stick to surfaces.

The 25C is wirelessly connected, and is controlled by a smartphone app. It can also be controlled with voice commands when used with an Amazon Echo or Google Assistant smart home speaker. It also has a compact charging base that holds the vacuum when it is not in use.

All models of the eufy robot vacuum come with several standard features, such as drop and obstacle detection to avoid running into objects or falling down the stairs. Certain models, like the eufy RoboVac 11S and its re-engineered eufyRoboVac 30C MAX have advanced navigation systems that build and remember the virtual map of your floors so it is aware of where to go (and the best places to stay away from) every time it cleans.

You can personalize cleaning cycles and set specific areas for the eufy robot vacuum, self cleaning Robot vacuum and set specific areas to avoid using the app or Alexa-compatible voice controls. And you can also cordon off rooms that contain fragile items, like your kids' toys or console tables. This model includes a pair of bounding strips that allow you block off larger areas.

The eufy RoboVac 11S MAX is one of the best affordable robot vacuum-performing robotic vacuums in our tests, earning the top marks for cleaning capability and navigation. Its design is simple, with one button to wake it up and an on/off switch below for a permanent shut-off. It also features a tempered-glass surface and ten sensors to steer away from obstacles, and it comes with a 0.15 gallons/0.6 milliliters of dust bin. The re-engineered navigation system is equipped with iPath laser scanning technology that creates and stores an image of 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 are equipped with intelligent features that allow you to control your device remotely. This includes the ability to schedule cleaning times, set virtual boundaries that block your robot from entering certain areas (such as rooms full of electrical cords) and set the'return to base' feature. Some allow you to create the map of your home and mark areas where you want to clean.

Some of the top-of-the line vacuum cleaners made by eufy have a navigation system called "smart mapping" that scans your home and builds an image of the map it is referring to every time it cleans. This enables the vacuum cleaner to effortlessly move between bare floors and area rugs, then back again, without skipping a step.

The RoboVac 25C, which is eufy, is a good example of this type of model. It has three distinct suction power settings that you can select through its app companion: 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.

The battery life is excellent, allowing the vacuum to run for up to 100 minutes in its standard 'Standard' mode. The vacuum comes with an inbuilt battery indicator which flashes blue while it is charging, and then turns orange when power is low, and then solidifies blue when fully charged.

Another great feature is the 'Spot Cleaning mode, which lets you make the vacuum focus on a small localized area by pressing a button on its base. This is a great way to remove pet hair or dust particles out of corners or under furniture, which is where a traditional upright vacuum would have trouble.

The eufy RoboVac does an excellent job of removing pet hair, but it may require some more passes to remove hairy patches that are difficult to remove from high and low pile carpeting. It's not as good in getting hair out of cracks and crevices on carpeted floors as it is on plain floors. However, it does a great job of removing pet fur from both bare and covered surfaces.

100 Minutes of Cleaning

The Eufy robot vacuum offers an impressive 100 minutes of clean-up, with a Self Cleaning Robot Vacuum-return to its base to charge. It can work on multiple floors, and is equipped with powerful vacuums that can pick up anything from cereal crumbs to glitter tiny specks. It has a sturdy brush roll and an additional brush that helps it reach crevices and corners that other robots might not be able to reach.

The battery-powered robo-vacuum can be operated via the remote control included or by sending commands over Wi-Fi via your smart-home assistant, smartphone, or even a smart device. You can also adjust Boost IQ which will optimize the suction power based on the type of floor that the vac is working.

The G30 Edge, like other elegant robotics, is designed to move around your home in a minimalist way. It takes just a minute to snap on the rotating edge brushes and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app allows you to set up an cleaning routine and also use voice commands using a smart home speaker compatible.

A lot of eufy robotics offer this level of flexibility that lets you select the specific areas you want to focus it on and when you want it to clean. The application allows you to set virtual boundaries, which are used to prevent the robot from entering rooms where there could be electrical cords or other obstacles you'd prefer not to clean up.

Some eufy models include an intuitive map that uses a combination of sensors to calculate the location of walls and furniture and plots a route to cover them. Some models employ a more advanced navigational system known as iPath. In these cases the robotic vacuum uses an algorithm to intelligently generate an iPath path, and then follows it until the specified area is completely covered. The robot returns to its dock and is charged, waiting for its next scheduled cleaning.

Other models of the eufy robotic vacuum do not have this level of intelligence. These models that are entry-level are typically the cheapest and do not use an electronic map system. Instead, they plot an undetermined path each when they begin cleaning. Although this can be frustrating however, the robotic cleaner always covers the same areas. It also doesn't miss corners or other difficult-to-access areas.
