The Eufy RoboVac 30C vacuums well, and supports a lot of features at an attractively low price. Like other robot vacuums in this price range, there are some limitations; such as a basic navigation system. However, if you are on a tight budget, and are looking for a robust robot vacuum, the RoboVac 30C is a solid choice.
You can control the RoboVac 30C through the companion app, voice control Alexa, Google Assistant support, and remote control. The app offers a lot of options, so it is best if you take advantage of its various features to level up your vacuuming experience. The remote control can come in handy if you have family members who don’t have the app. The voice control can only support basic commands, but it can help you maximize your time.
In the app, you can adjust the suction power and the cleaning mode. There are three power modes: standard, BoostIQ, and max. The BoostIQ mode is ideal to use if you have carpets, because it automatically increases its suction power in areas that need it the most. This feature will allow the robot vacuum to maximize its battery life, since higher suction power equates to higher battery consumption. The standard mode has a bearable noise, and the max mode a louder noise level.
You can either use the app or remote control to adjust the cleaning mode of the RoboVac 30C. It has four cleaning modes: auto, edge, spot, and quick cleaning mode. The auto mode enables the robot vacuum to randomly navigate the room until its battery runs low. This mode might, or might not, clean the entire room, but if you live in a small house or an apartment, the RoboVac 30C can manage to clean the whole area.
The edge cleaning mode finds the nearest wall, and cleans the edges of your home. The spot cleaning mode is helpful if you, for instance, dropped something since it cleans a specific area only. The quick cleaning mode lasts 30 seconds, and is designed for a single room.
There is a magnetic strip included in the box that serves as a barrier. It will block off areas that you don’t want the RoboVac 30C to go, such as areas where there are a lot of cables, or pet areas where the water bowls are placed.
The RoboVac 30C has a low profile, unlike other expensive robot vacuums that have a laser turret. With the help of its 2.85 inch height, it can easily go under furniture such as the sofa, bed, or other hard-to-reach areas. The RoboVac 30C can clean areas that are often not given attention, but have a lot of dirt. It can also easily climb a threshold that has a height of 0.63 inches.
The downside of a budget robot vacuum is that it only has a basic navigation system, which means it doesn’t have virtual boundaries or a systematic cleaning pattern. It doesn’t have a mapping capability to help the robot vacuum identify which areas are already, or not yet, cleaned. The mapping feature enables the robot vacuum to clean faster and thoroughly. The RoboVac 30C can also clean thoroughly, but it needs a lot of time to cover the whole room.
Overall, the RoboVac 30C is an excellent choice for those who are new to robot vacuums. You can start with the RoboVac 30C, and experiment as to whether robot vacuums are for you since it has a low price and offers various features. It is great to use for day-to-day cleaning and is worth the price.
