From the Anker headquarters and manufacturing locations in Changsha, Hunan, China, Eufy is meant to be the Anker brand that specializes in smart home appliances. The self-empty station has a triple-filtration system to reduce dust exposure, with a deodorization rate of 96.2% within a day’s timeframe. For those who are savvy, the allergy care capability of the G40 Hybrid+ is certified by TUV Rheinland. To assess the true performance and capabilities of the Eufy G40+ robot vacuum, we conducted rigorous hands-on testing in a variety of real-world environments. This included: We know this is a lot to think about, but we want you to have all the key information before making any sort of final decision. How does eufy compare to Roomba and Shark? After multiple cleaning runs, we observed how well and easily the self-emptying base functioned. We monitored for any clogging, issues, or errors during emptying.

Eufy has added some significant navigation skills to the G30 Edge and they’re worth having. The G30 Edge isn’t as sophisticated at map building and learning about its environment as rival models like the Neato Botvac D7 Connected but the basic mapmaking displayed here is better than the trundle and bump navigation we’ve seen on Eufy’s cheaper models, such as the 15C. When shopping for a robot vacuum to clean your home's floors, you'll want to consider a series of features and qualities. Depending on the depth of clean you're aiming for, the size of the space you have, and the ultimate conveniences you hope to benefit from, you will find that you have several options to suit your wants, needs, and budget, most of all. eufy rarely makes self-emptying robot vacuums, but this time, it has bestowed a hybrid one upon us, and the result is good, hinting to a possibly bright future of similar products as eufy hones its craft. As the name suggests, these hybrid models can vacuum and mop simultaneously. Each robot has a compartment that holds the dustbin in the upper chamber and the water tank in the other. Underneath this combination box is where you attach the mopping plate along with the microfiber pad. When it comes to the app, the cleaning history shows the cleaning area and time. The G40 Hybrid+ cleans in a zigzag pattern, and after cleaning is done, the bot will clean edges and corners by following your residence’s edges. That said, the app seems quite limited this time around. ConclusionComprehensive Accessory Kit: The model comes bundled with handy extras, including an additional filter, a side brush, zip ties, and a cleaning tool. These are not just conveniences but essential components that enhance the device’s longevity.

This is worth doing if you can’t tidy a particular knot of cables out of the way, as I did experience some problems with it getting tangled with cables lying on the floor. However, it did a good job of climbing from hard floor onto rugs and even doormats without getting beached. We consider pet hair, too. Using the real thing sourced from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, our expert grinds it into the carpet to create a worst-case scenario before putting each vacuum to work.In Auto mode, the robot makes straight lines like you would when cutting grass. In Spot mode, it cleans a specific area in a spiral pattern for two minutes. That little turret is where the robot houses its laser sensor. This tech enables the robots to measure the distance between the objects around them, thus allowing you to create precise virtual boundaries using the EufyHome app. If you already have magnetic tapes in place, the robot will also respect those boundaries. When it’s time to head home to the auto-empty station, slow and steady was the name of the game for the G40 Hybrid+ since it relies heavily on infrared sensors and an outdated algorithm, rather than the more advanced LiDAR scanner technology and smart mapping. This puts the G40 Hybrid at a disadvantage. Using this robot to clean an entire house will likely require a bit of human dependence, especially for large homes with intricate spaces or complex layouts. The G40 Hybrid will spend a lot of its time repositioning itself. Wrapping Up Even better, eufy offers a varied lineup of robovacs for every budget and every floor cleaning need, so you can find the perfect one to fit your lifestyle. What should you look for in a eufy robot vacuum? The RoboVac G30 has four suction options to choose from: Standard, Turbo, Max, and BoostIQ. By default it’s set to BoostIQ, which automatically adjusts the suction power based on your floors and the level of debris detected. With BoostIQ enabled, it will increase the suction when it moves over carpets and heavily-soiled areas. Setup and Maintenance

However, in our tests the RoboVac X8 wasn’t as good at coping with serious spillages as some of its rivals. Although we wouldn’t recommend any robot vacuum cleaner as a first responder to a dropped bag of flour, it’s not desperately reassuring that the X8 can’t prevent its edge brush scattering as it cleans. Have a big mess on your hands? Got dust in hard-to-reach places? Make cleanup a breeze with the HomeVac S11 Infinity. Li-ion Battery: A durable battery ensuring extended and consistent performance throughout its lifespan. When you open the app while the robot’s working, it shows how many square feet the robot has covered and the duration of that cleaning session. You can also see how much battery it has left. Under the hood are 31 sensors, including infrared and a hall effect sensor, which enable the robot vacuum to move around your home avoiding any large furniture. The latter uses magnetic fields to identify position and distance. Unlike some robot vacuums on the market, such as the Ecovacs T8 Aivi, the Eufy RoboVac G30 Hybrid doesn’t have a built-in camera to help it see obstacles.
