Because of these traits alone, the 30C is perfectly capable of cleaning homes with pets, as well as areas that tend to gather a lot of dirt. And for those who are tech-savvy, this choice is sure to impress with its WiFi capabilities and compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant.

The Good

Powerful Cleaning: The Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 30C is known for its 3-Point Cleaning System that uses three brushes and strong suction power to effectively loosen, extract, and vacuum dirt to give a superior clean. To add on to that, this robovac sucks up dirt and dust with 1500Pa of suction for a spotless clean that you can see and feel. This vacuum takes on dust-busting around your home so you don’t have to, and with multiple cleaning modes and auto-clean scheduling ensure an effortless, thorough clean while you relax.

Excellent Features: This robovac uses large wheels to roll over carpets and climb over door ledges to get to the mess. It also cleans up to 100 mins per charge, so you get to enjoy a completely clean home from a single charge. Its anti-collision infrared sensors help to avoid bumping into obstacles so it can clean non-stop without help from you. Apart from that, the RoboVac 30C uses drop-sensing technology to avoid falling downstairs and off of ledges. It’s advanced brushless motor significantly reduces vacuuming noise and runs at a volume no louder than an operating microwave, so you can run the vacuum with no disruptions.

Advanced Technology: Its specialized Dual-Hall Sensors detect Boundary Strips to ensure the RoboVac 30C only cleans the areas you want. And with Wi-Fi built-in, you can accomplish all your cleaning needs from your smartphone. In addition, the EufyHome app in collaboration with Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant voice control-services let you accomplish your vacuuming needs with zero effort from you.
And if you have heavy-duty needs, this robovac can automatically increase suction power within 1.5 seconds when extra vacuuming strength is needed—so you get the best clean.

Improved Design: The RoboVac 30C has been refined from the inside and out, with its reduced height of only 2.85” — this allows for cleaning under low-lying furniture with ease. A larger 0.6L dustbin allows this robovac to pick up more dirt and dust to take full advantage of 100 minutes of continuous cleaning, eliminating the need to empty it halfway through cleaning. You also get more than you pay for since it includes 13.2 ft Boundary Strips, a remote control (2 AAA batteries included), a charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, 4 side brushes, 5 cable ties, and their worry-free 12-month warranty.

The Bad

While many people are pleased with the RoboVac 30C’s performance, it also comes up short in a few aspects.

App Not Fully Working: Unfortunately, for people who own an iPhone, the app that this robovac comes with doesn’t seem to work. One customer complained about how she tried to download the app onto her iPhone 8s, only to fail to connect after trying to do so 10 times. She then tried to update the firmware on her router, even going as far as making a new password and rebooted it but it still didn’t work. Finally, she called tech support but they were not able to assist with her problems, leading her to assume it must be a defective unit. However, even after getting a new unit, the same problems occurred and she had no choice but to use her RoboVac 30C without WiFi capabilities.

Battery Not As Advertised: Another frustrated customer complained about how the battery on his RoboVac 30C would only last 45 minutes before dying without finishing the cleaning job for his small apartment. He also noted that because it doesn’t have mapping technology, it tends to clean the same spots over and over again.

The Bottom Line

In the end, the Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 30C may be far from perfect but it is the closest device to providing us with everything we need out of a robot vacuum cleaner. What it lacks in its app compatibility and its supposedly low battery life, it more than makes up for in its quiet operation, superior suction power, and its thoughtful design. Combine all that with a modest price tag of $279 and you’ve got yourself a real bargain in the form of a highly maneuverable and flexible robot vacuum. And with its smaller build, it not only cleans the visible areas of your home but also under furniture to deliver cleaning like no other.

Overall, this robot vacuum can be an exceptional addition to any home, whether you’re working from home or away 24/7. And while there may be a few flaws in these units, you can be sure that once you get a good model, it will be your partner in home cleaning and you’ll never look for another vacuum. This product will work best in apartments or homes with busy areas and busy owners since you can use the app to schedule cleaning anytime you want. And with its brilliant features, you get so much more than you bargained for, and it will always deliver value for money.
