About the Product

Features
A budget robotic vacuum cleaner is rare and this one matches up to its promise by providing WiFi connectivity, Alexa and Google Home compatibility, smartphone control and a long battery run.
It has several features that make it hassle-free and convenient to operate and be on top of that deep cleaning expedition through your home.
It offers options for weekly scheduling, sports a spacious debris bin, has multiple cleaning modes, a robust filtration system and extra power performance for scaly and rough surfaces.
#1: Deep Cleaning
It uses BoostIQ technology, matched with a three-point cleaning system and high powered suction of 1,200 Pascals to adequately clean most surfaces.
It also has a power boost tool that can work well with medium-pile carpets. If your pet sheds a lot this cleaner is great news because it has a triple filtration mechanism and large-sized bin that easily disposes of the pet hair.
It has an ergonomic design that enables it to crawl to various nooks and corners. It is fitted with high-traction wheels that give it mobility across different carpet types.
It also has multiple side brushes that synergise to sweep and stack away dust and debris along the sides and corners. A wide rolling brush concentrates on accumulating fur and hair that may be stuck to the carpet or surfaces.
#2: Triple Filtration Process
The technology is based in the triple filtration system consisting of two regular filters and a HEPA filter. A range of dirt particles including fine dust to hair strands, allergens, pollen and dirt trapped in carpet fibres get tracked and cleaned out with the strong filtration system.
The filters are designed to facilitate popping in and out. The bin provides for easy disposal with a large capacity of over half a litre.
#3: Multiple Cleaning Modes
The normal mode has a long battery life of 100 minutes. Depending on the area to be cleaned and time, different cleaning modes can be selected through the remote control.
- Auto Mode: The vacuum works on default, covering the room in the most efficient manner. It changes modes as it makes its way through different surfaces.
- Spot Cleaning Mode: It whirls in a spiral movement along one focus area. This is specifically to counter highly concentrated dirt particles in a small area.
- Edge Cleaning Mode: The robotic cleaner automatically detects corners and walls and moves alongside, cleaning away the dust on the sides.
- Single Room Cleaning: The RoboVac would remain in an enclosed area and not move outside the boundaries or corners.
- Manual Cleaning: You can choose from the remote control navigation and direct the cleaner to focus on a specific area.
#4: Easy Scheduling Options
The Eufy RoboVac 11c has a special feature where it can be operated through the remote control app. Once a user account is created on the app, you can select the scheduling options that suit you.
Even while you are away, you would get updates and notifications. The home remains clean, even while you are not around. This can be done by scheduling certain cleaning modes for different days and times of the week.
#5: Hands-Free
The robotic cleaner responds to voice commands once it is connected with Amazon Alexa. For instance, to begin the cleaning process, you just need to say aloud, “Alexa, ask RoboVac to start cleaning.”
This unique feature makes it fun to operate and convenient to control. You can easily multi-task or just sit around and watch your home getting cleaned up with zero effort.

My Verdict
