Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX

The Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX is a budget robot vacuum that has an above-average cleaning performance, compared to its competitors within its price range.

Compared to the Eufy RoboVac 15c, that has a suction power of 1300 Pa only, the Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX has a stronger suction power at 2000 Pa. With this suction power, it can efficiently pick up specks of dirt.

It is also equipped with a BoostIQ feature, which is helpful for those who have carpets in their home. The BoostIQ feature can automatically increase suction power when detecting carpets to provide a more thorough clean, and pick up dirt that is embedded deep in the carpet. However, the increase of suction power when using the BoostIQ also means an increase in energy consumption, which decreases the battery life. When using the BoostIQ feature, the battery life will be about 40-60 minutes.

You can control the Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX using the remote control, app and voice integration. The remote control is great for those who have difficulties in connecting the robot vacuum to the internet, since you don't need an internet connection for the remote control to work (unlike when using the app). Whenever it gets stuck, it sends a notification in the app so you know when to help it. It also supports voice integrations, such as Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free control.

The Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX has a cheap price, but it also lacks some advanced features, such as smart mapping technology. When using the auto cleaning mode, it cleans your room in a random pattern (mainly moving in a straight line), and only changes direction whenever it bumps into furniture. It doesn’t guarantee that it will clean your whole room, but if your room is small, there is a greater chance that it can clean the whole space. Other than the auto mode, it also has edge and spot modes.

It doesn’t support virtual boundaries or magnetic strips, so if you have areas that you don’t want the robot vacuum to go to, you can improvise physical barriers. It is equipped with sensors, such as anti-collision and drop sensors. The anti-collision sensor lessens the impact from the furniture, and the drop sensor prevents the robot vacuum from falling down the stairs.

Overall, the Eufy RoboVac 15c MAX is worth it because, aside from its affordable price, you can control it using various methods, it has a large dust bin, it is great for mid-pile carpets, and produces a low noise level.
