The Eufy Robovac 30 is a wonderful little vacuum! It has far surpassed my expectations. After replacing carpet with dark hardwood floors in most of our 2400 sq. ft. home, I was finding it difficult to keep the dust bunnies at bay. I didn’t know anything about robot vacuums so I went online to do some research. I considered a lot of different brands but what caught my eye about the Robovac 30 was a combination of the positive customer service comments, price, and boundary strips. We have a combination of hardwood, low-medium shag carpet, vinyl, and tile. I was pleased to see that the Eufy Robovac 30 was reported to be effective on all of these surfaces and I have not been disappointed in the Robovac 30’s performance in my home.
I was so happy about the effectiveness of my Robovac 30 and the amount of time it saved me that I encouraged my daughter to try it in her home for a few days to see if she would like me to get her one for Christmas. My daughter and son-in-law live in a 2-story home and have 2 indoor cats. After using my Robovac 30 she was sold so I ordered them one for Christmas. The Robovac 30 works wonderfully in her home keeping it free of cat fur. They have a combination of light wood, tile, and carpet. It cleans everything except the stairs. Her Robovac 30 did fall down the stairs once but she said she now leaves on a light and it has never fallen again. She also only cleans when she is at home and does not schedule cleanings. She has had her Robovac 30 since Christmas 2018 and it is still performing well.
After about 10.5 months, my Eufy Robovac 30 began turning itself on and cleaning at random, making a really loud grinding sound when cleaning rugs and maneuvering over transition pieces, and it seemed to get confused and clean in circles or keep going over the same area again and again. I cleaned my Robovac 30 thoroughly, replaced the side brushes and cleaning brush, and cleaned the sensors but it continued to be much less effective and noisy. After trying different things for about 3 weeks, I called Eufy customer service, and talked to a representative who was extremely polite and helpful. She asked me a few questions and had me try a couple of things. She then stated that it should not be acting that way and I was sent a replacement in a few days. She did ask me to write a review discussing my experience.
I have waited several weeks before reviewing my replacement Robovac 30 since I wanted to see how the new machine works. Something I noticed with both Robovac 30s, they seem to clean better and transitions more easily through the house after 2-3 weeks of use. They both seemed to stay in one area and not move easily from once type of flooring to another at the beginning. After several weeks, I am very pleased with my replacement Robovac 30.
Features and Comments:
-Running time – On hardwood floors with different size area rugs, my Robovac 30 will clean for between 90 – 105 minutes when fully charged. Running time is less on carpeted areas. For reference, I section off my house into small areas since I like to clean each area thoroughly. It takes 2 full charges to clean my entire house.
-Thoroughness of cleaning – I can’t believe how thoroughly this vacuum cleans. It is truly amazing. I used to vacuum my floors with a canister vacuum and then Swiffer with dry cloths before mopping. Now I just run the Robovac 30 while doing something else and then mop. Amazing! I also love that it will clean under most of my furniture, especially under the beds.
-Finding its way back to the docking station – I only use my vacuum when I am at home due to the fact that I still have some area rugs with fringe and long drapes that puddle on the floor in some areas. Also, my elderly mother lives with us and I am afraid that she might trip over the vacuum if I am not there to supervise. Therefore, I use the boundary strips to block off certain areas so that I know where the vacuum is at all times. If the Robovac 30 is able to get to the docking station when its battery starts running low, it does an amazing job of docking; however, I typically just pick it up and return it once I hear it slowing down.
-Remote and scheduling cleanings– I don’t often use the remote and never schedule it to clean for the reasons mentioned above. The few times I have used the remote, I have been mostly pleased. It works wonderfully for spot and edge cleaning. I will occasionally use the manual cleaning to direct the Robovac 30 to a certain area but for me it is faster to pick it up and move it rather than using the remote. I have never scheduled a cleaning so I can’t comment on that feature.
-Boundary strips – I love the boundary strips since we have a very open floor plan and they easily allow me to block off certain areas and confine the Robovac 30. Due to convenience, my floor plan, different floor textures, some rooms getting more use than others, and my mother’s safety, I section off my house into segments of about 300 sq. ft. to clean at a time. This way I can target the rooms that get used the most and are therefore need extra cleaning, keep the Robovac 30 out of rooms that have clutter or things that need to be removed, and know where it is at all times. I also feel that the rooms are more thoroughly cleaned. If not confined, the Robovac 30 will randomly move throughout the house and some areas may not get cleaned before the battery dies. I have cut and taped sections of the boundary strips to yard sticks and use these to block off areas. The Robovac 30 won’t run over the magnetic strips but it can push the yard stick across the floor, so it is necessary to either place the yard stick in a doorway so that the door frame prevents the yard stick from being pushed through the door or place something heavy either on or behind the yard stick so it can’t be moved. It is then easy to store the yard sticks standing up in a closet and have them ready to lay down each time they are needed.
-Babysitting – Since I remove items that the Robovac 30 can get tangled in, I rarely have to rescue it.
-Cleaning the Robovac 30/maintenance – Cleaning is easy but it is necessary to do so on the recommended schedule. After cleaning each area that I have sectioned off in my house, I empty the dust bin. This may not be necessary but cleaning effectiveness will be decreased if the bin is allowed to get too full and it is amazing how fast it can fill up. I don’t consider this a flaw in the Robovac 30, but a fact applying to all robot vacuums. I did originally have difficulty removing the roller ball to clean it. To easily remove the roller ball, use a small pair of needle-nosed pliers. Gently squeeze the pliers on the sides of the roller and pull straight up. This does not take a lot of force and works well.
-Customer service – Excellent! I was shocked that I received such courteous customer service and a new vacuum when my original Robovac 30’s warranty was due to expire in less than a month. The replacement vacuum came with a 90 day warranty instead of a full year, but that is understandable.
-Replacement parts – All replacement parts (side brushes, filters, etc.) are easily purchased from Amazon.
Overall, I am very pleased with my Eufy Robovac 30 and would purchase again!

One new cat, 2 robot vacuums and 3 months later, my opinion has been changed
**3 Month Update 12/11/18**I have updated my original 2/5 star review to 4/5 stars. I will keep my original written review below, but I need to commend Eufy customer service for going above and beyond to help me with the issues I was experiencing on the first vacuum I ordered. If it was possible to give the the customer service representatives a 10 out 5 star review I would but alas my updated review is solely based on the product itself.After receiving a replacement vacuum for the first that I can only assume was defective from the manufacturer, I was delighted to see that it was working far better than the first. The second vacuum cleaned much more thoroughly and had a much easier time returning to the docking station. Some of my issues did not go away, such as frequently being stuck at a specific area under my couch where it meets our living room's area rug. The constant need to monitor the dust bin is quite a pain, and for some reason my girlfriends hair just wont stop wrapping around the rolling brush.--------------------For my original 2/5 star review and thoughts read below:I have summed of my thoughts briefly at the bottom of this review for those interested.Note: This is my first robot vacuum, so I am unable to compare this to any other model on the market. I’ve also summed up my thoughts at the bottom of the review for those interested.My first impression:The Eufy RoboVac 30 needs more supervision than my rambunctious toddler. I have used the RoboVac 30 multiple times since receiving it and each time I do, it happens to get stuck in a corner of the room or cleans in such a non-practical way that by the time it’s done cleaning, it needs to go back out again. The only way I can see around this is to purchase 2-3 of these units and set them out at different times throughout the day.For anyone who has never used a robot vacuum, please read this:Be warned, the dust storage bin is extremely small. You will end up having to empty the dust collector multiple times in one cleaning cycle. The dust bin fills up multiple times before the battery life runs out and it has to recharge. This seems kind of counter intuitive. If the dust bin is full and it can’t collect any more debris, what’s the point of still having battery power? I know Eufy claims that the dust collector has a capacity of 0.6L, but that’s being very misleading. I’m sure it can hold 0.6L of LIQUIDS which is fine, but who’s vacuuming liquids? You will NEVER get the RoboVac to collect 0.6L of dust and debris, it’s just not physically possible.Scheduling a cleaning time is a somewhat nice feature. It’s nice being able to set a time, but that’s it. You can only set one timer. I think the vacuum is supposed to return to the charging station when the battery is low, but I’ve never seen it find its way home. It’s always dead on the kitchen floor or stuck under a couch (that has plenty of clearance for its short stature). If they can fix the docking situation (on top of the small dust bin) I would like to see Eufy allow you to make multiple schedules or even an “always on” option, where when the battery is low, it will fully charge itself and return to vacuuming.The boundary strips are completely useless. On top of being very unsightly (see my pictures for yourself), the vacuum never senses them when I’ve used them. I tried to put them down near the couch (so it wouldn’t get stuck underneath) but it just rolls right over them. Even if the boundary strips worked flawlessly, they are very ugly and and impractical. People buy these things to be lazier, but who wants to leave the strips out the whole time or place them around the house every time you want vacuum? Please Eufy, either come up with some other way to create a boundary or just get rid of them all together.Lastly, I’m not sure if it’s a design flaw but the rolling brush (the main brush in front that the debris gets swept into) has a rubber coating that broke after the first use. This was caused by my wife’s long hair that ended up wrapped around the brush so tightly that it must have strangled it. I have added a photograph of the damage in hopes that someone at Eufy notices so they can look into redesigning it. I’m afraid it’s not going to hold up over the long term and it seems like a possible fire hazard if the wrong thing gets stuck around it.PROS:1. It looks nice and the body seems to be made well2. It’s pretty quiet3. When it does what it’s supposed to do it worksCons:1. Very small dust bin storage capacity2. Boundary strips are useless and ugly, save the money get the model without these strips3. Gets stuck very easily4. Not very effective when it’s alone as it needs to be emptied out frequently and requires constant monitoring.Overall, I would not recommend the Eufy RoboVac 30 for anyone not familiar with robot vacuums. I believe you will be very disappointed in its capabilities.

I’m having back surgery soon, so I thought it would be a good idea to get this little Eufy to help keep our home in top shape. It arrived yesterday, and it was easy peasy to set up, and charged itself rather efficiently.
My hubby had already vacuumed our condo in the morning, so I wasn’t expecting the Eufy to pick up much in its first run around the house. (Like I said, we pride ourselves on our clean home.) Anyways...low and behold, when I opened up the Eufy’s dirt receptacle, my mind was officially blown. It was already half full of dirt/dust/etc that the little Eufy had picked up on what we had thought was an already ‘clean’ floor! What?!?! This is amazing!!! So amazing, in fact, that I took a picture to show you all.
Other awesome things are that it’s super quiet, bumps into things gently (rather than ramming into them), and the magnetic boundary strips work like a charm. We put them around our puppy’s pee pad - I’ve heard horror stories of poop being dragged around by robot vacuums, lol, so the magnetic boundary strips are brilliant!
Totally recommend this. We are so, SO impressed!
