Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 30C MAX Features and Specifications

When the unit arrives, the box contains Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX robot vacuum, 13.2 feet magnetic boundary strips, remote control unit (with 2 AAA batteries being included), charging base/station, AC power adapter, robot cleaning tool, extra set of high-performance filters, 4 side brushes, 5 cable ties, and welcome guide/manual.

One of the reasons why Eufy robot vacuums are so popular is the fact that they are easy to use, easy to maintain and in the end, they do their job well - Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX just continues the design philosophy from previous models, being very similar to Eufy RoboVac 30C, but with few important improvements.

Note: When the unit arrives, be sure to read the manual thoroughly in order to get accustomed to your new robot vac.

Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 30C MAX is powered using high-capacity lithium ion 14.4V 2600 mAh battery, ensuring on average 100 minutes of operating time on the bare floors, and somewhat shorter operating time on the carpets.

RoboVac 30C MAX is able to locate charging base and recharge automatically when the cleaning task is over, or when the battery is discharged. On average, when the battery is discharged, it takes some 5-6 hours to charge it fully.

RoboVac 30C MAX is WiFi enable unit, allowing the use of more advanced features like smartphone app or voice control.

However, RoboVac 30C MAX features simple navigation system which doesn't enable the unit to resume the cleaning task after the battery is recharged - unit waits next scheduled cleaning task, or the user may manually start the cleaning using IR remote control, Eufy Home App, or the user can tell the unit via Amazon Alexa or Google Home Assistant to start the cleaning.

Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX featrues so-called 3-Point Cleaning System consisting of:

- two side brushes that sweep the floor on both sides of the vacuum and push the collected dirt toward the main brushroll and suction inlet,

- as the main brushroll rotates, it sweeps the floor, ensuring that the RoboVac thoroughly cleans bare floors, and low- and medium-pile carpets,

- collected dirt is vacuumed into the robot via strong suction, with maximum suction being 2000 Pa.

Air filtration is good, although Eufy doesn't state actual HEPA air filtration level. Air filtration is based on primary screen which filters larger objects and pleated 'Redesigned Unibody Filter' - pleated air filter is not washable, but it can be tapped onto the hard surface to remove fine dust and other dirt.

Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX features three suction modes: Normal, Boost IQ and MAX suction mode.

BoostIQ feature allows the Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX to vacuum bare floors using normal suction mode and when the carpeted area is detected, unit automatically increases the suction to improve cleaning.

This way, BoostIQ feature saves the energy stored in the battery and improve vacuuming.

Maximum suction of 2000 Pa is used for thorough cleaning of tough messes and large piles of dirt.

Note: When vacuuming carpets using BoostIQ mode, operating time is ~60 minutes and when vacuuming carpets using maximum suction, operating time is even short and on average around 40 minutes.

Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX is compact unit, weighing 5.95 pounds (~2.7 kg) with physical dimensions of 12.80 inches (~32.5 cm) in diameter and 2.85 inches (~7.2 cm) in height, allowing the unit to climb obstacles up to 0.63 inches (~16 mm) in height and to clean under most beds and sofas.

Dirt bin capacity is 0.6 liters, which is very good capacity for such compact robot vacuum.

Despite dirt bin capacity, it is recommended to empty the dirt bin after each vacuuming.

In order to navigate the home as safe as possible, Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX features broad range of sensors.

Cliff sensors allow the unit to detect stairs and similar 'cliffs', preventing the unit from falling down the stairs.

Magnetic boundary strips allow the user to set no-go zones. When Hall sensors detect the magnetic strip, the robot vacuum will not cross that line - it changes the trajectory and continues with the cleaning task.

 Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX Cleaning Modes

In order to clean the floors more efficiently, Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX features several cleaning modes, including:

- Auto Cleaning Mode is the most common cleaning mode. In this mode, Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX optimizes its path by selecting different cleaning modes automatically until the cleaning is done.

- Spot Cleaning Mode is used for more thorough cleaning of extra dirty areas. In this mode, Eufy RoboVac 30C MAX cleans the selected area in spiral pattern and automatically stops after 2 minutes of cleaning.

- Edge Cleaning Mode is used for cleaning the edges. When the wall is detected, unit slows down and follows the wall, thoroughly cleaning the edge.

- Single Room Cleaning Mode (Quick Cleaning): unit vacuums certain area for 30 minutes, after which it returns to the charging base.

- Manual Cleaning Mode is used directly by the user to clean certain areas when required.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to set the daily scheduled cleaning task to keep the home as clean as possible and to empty the dirt cup after each cleaning.
