Quick Verdict Eufy vs. Roomba, which smart vacuum cleaner brand is the best? Eufy is a better option for those on a budget looking for a high-performance intelligent robot vacuum cleaner. If you’re looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner with advanced features and are willing to cash out more, consider Roomba. Keep reading for a complete guide on the differences between the two brands.

Next to Ring and Arlo, Eufy is a home security company that offers customizable devices to its users. The brand is a division of a broader electronics company called Anker.

They have a wide range of products, including robotic vacuum cleaners, smart scales, wireless security systems, lighting systems, video doorbells, alarm systems, and much more.

Those looking to experiment with smart products will appreciate that Eufy is one of the rare companies that doesn’t require monthly subscriptions. You can pay for their additional features if you wish, but it’s not a requirement to access the features.

When it comes to their robotic vacuum cleaners, they go under the name RoboVac. There are currently 16 models available on their website, but we’ve only reviewed four of the best-selling ones to keep the review shorter and more accessible. For more information about the remainder of Eufy vacuum cleaners, you can visit their official website.

Roomba is an iRobot series of robotic vacuum cleaners first introduced in 2002. These automatic devices are equipped with a set of sensors that make navigating around the house a breeze. These robust sensors can detect obstacles, dirty spots, or sense steep doors, stopping them from falling downstairs.

The Roomba vacuum cleaners come in four series: s9, i7, i3, and 600. For our review, we picked one model from each series. Except for the s9, all of these models are disc-shaped and measure between 13.3-13.9 inches in diameter and 3.4-3.7 inches in height.

What makes the s9+ and the i3+ models special is they have a self-emptying bin feature. They transfer the dirt into a bag that can securely hold the content for 60 days’ worth of debris. Of course, this depends on how often you vacuum your space and how much dirt accumulates.

Overall, Roomba is known for its high-end, advanced-technology vacuum cleaners, and it’s the go-to option for customers with deeper pockets.

Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge is one of the company’s most popular robotic vacuum cleaners. This intelligent device comes with a Smart Dynamic Navigation 2.0, including the sensor that allows the device to track its path. It’s a well-built vacuum of a compact size, and it does a great job getting under low-lying obstructions.

The device has its own app for Android and iOS, and there has been a massive improvement in terms of app functionality. Setting the device is effortless, and there are straightforward controls whether you want to start the cleaning, schedule one, or view your cleaning history.

There’s a handy option for families with kids or pets that lets users exclude specific areas such as the kid’s play area or a pet bed. Also, its 2000Pa of suction power makes sure most debris gets picked up on all surfaces, including rugs.

One of the best things about this vacuum is that it’s surprisingly quiet.

Design-wise, RoboVac G30 Edge is a circular machine, just like many of its competitors. There’s a small roller brush at the bottom, between two rubber wheels. Be aware that it can be a bit tricky to remove dog hair. Therefore, do so carefully to avoid damaging the vacuum.

A slight downside is that the dustbin opens too easily, so you may send out dust particles in the air more often.

In case the robot gets too adventurous and you lose track of its whereabouts, you can use the “Find my Robot” feature, and it will make a loud noise.

Overall, this is an excellent solution for anyone looking for an affordable, high-quality robot vacuum cleaner with voice control.

Pros:

• Boundary Strips feature
• Compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa
• Robust suction power
• Easy to use

Cons:

• Shorter battery life compared to competitors

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, the RoboVac G30 Edge costs $219.99.

What’s in the box:

• RoboVac G30 Edge
• One charging base
• Boundary Strips
• AC Power Adapter
• Two Side Brushes
• Unibody Filter
• Five Cable Ties
• Welcome guide
• One-year warranty

 

One of the latest additions to the Eufy robot vacuum cleaner family, RoboVac L70 Hybrid is nothing to sneeze at. Its hefty design comes with height adjustments, therefore, it’s a bit taller than its predecessors.

The L70 Hybrid is the first RoboVac from Anker to come with laser navigation, making it more effective than the previous models in finding its way around the house. It comes with an all-white, plastic design with a matte finish.

It may be less convenient due to its height, but it sure makes up for it, performance-wise. For example, the 11S Max model still relies on the bump-and-move navigation method, while the L70 Hybrid uses an S-shaped pattern to avoid bumping into walls. There’s also a boundary strip that lets you limit the area which the vacuum covers, such as pet areas, water bowls, and so on.

Also, with its 2200Pa, L70 has the strongest suction of all Eufy models.

Another brand-new addition feature-wise is the mopping capability. When you purchase the device, you’ll also receive a mopping plate that goes to the rear of the RoboVac, along with a microfiber cloth. The only thing you’ll have to do is fill the tank with water, and the intelligent machine will do all the vacuuming and mopping.

Overall, this is the company’s most expensive vacuum cleaner, but for good reason. The laser navigation, mopping capability, and advanced mapping technology offer great value and just as great performance.

Pros:

• Laser navigation
• Mopping capabilities
• Mapping technology

Cons:

• On the pricey side

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, RoboVac L70 Hybrid costs $319.99.

What’s in the box?

• RoboVac L70 Hybrid, one item
• One Charging Base
• AC Power Adapter
• Pad, waterproof
• Mopping Module
• Mopping Cloth, washable
• Installation Guide
• One-year Warranty

 

Are you looking for an entry-level, budget-friendly robotic vacuum cleaner? Eufy’s RoboVac 30C is among the cheapest and best-selling vacuum cleaners on the market.

This device has everything a basic RoboVac needs: Wi-Fi connectivity, Alexa and Google Assistant control, boundary strips, strong battery, and much more. If the L70 Hybrid is too expensive, this older brother gets the job done just fine.

The RoboVac 30C has a circular shape like most other models, and it also has a low profile. This makes it suitable for reaching tight spaces like under the couch or coffee table. Also, it can run for 100 minutes when fully charged – way more than many more advanced models! Once it runs low on battery, it recharges itself at the power base.

There’s also nothing more you could ask for connectivity-wise, as you can use your smartphone, remote control, Google Assistant, and Alexa to control your device.

In terms of design, there’s nothing remarkable about RoboVac 30C on the outside. Its 12.8 x 2.9-inch size makes it pretty slim and compact. The top of the device is made of tempered glass, with a bronze design running across the surface. You’ll find a generous 20 oz dustbin at the back of the vacuum, and there is a swivel wheel, a roller brush, two spin brushes, and a brush guard at the bottom.

You can schedule the device to clean on specific days, experiment with different cleaning modes (Auto, Spot, Quick, etc.), and switch suction strengths (Standard, Max, BoostIQ.) The BoostIQ is a special mode that increases suction power when vacuuming thick carpets or when there is more mess than usual.

Overall, this vacuum cleaner is a perfect solution for anyone searching for robust cleaning devices without breaking the bank. Not only is it quiet and powerful, but it also comes with solid app controls and a voice assistant compatibility for just $30 more.

Pros:

• Super quiet
• Affordable
• Google Assistant and Alexa compatible

Cons:

• Lack of Laser Room Mapping

Cost at time of review:

At the time of review, the BoostIQ RoboVac 30C costs $169.99.

What’s in the box?

• One RoboVac 30C
• Boundary Strips
• Remote Control
• Charging Base
• Power Adapter
• Cleaning Tools
• Additional Filter Set
• Side Brushes
• Cable Ties
• Introductory Guide
• One-year Warranty

 

Here’s yet another best-seller at Eufy’s. This affordable device is highly versatile, as it uses its strong suction power to clean hardwood, tiles, carpet, and other flooring types.

At first glance, there’s nothing special about this machine. It’s just a regular entry-level robotic vacuum cleaner. However, it is currently the most reviewed product on Eufy’s website and among the most frequently purchased. People finally don’t need to spend a fortune on a robotic vacuum cleaner.

Design-wise, it’s pretty similar to RoboVac 11. It comes in a circular shape, dark color, and is slightly smaller than its predecessor. It measures 12.8 x 2.8 inches, making it more versatile to fit under furniture and other low-profile elements.

One downside compared to most other products is that you can’t schedule future cleaning sessions. Once you set a specified time period, the vacuum will clean every day at that time.

When it comes to performance, the RoboVac 11s does a great job at tackling dust – just like many other vacuums double its price. It can pick up hair, dirt, and debris without much effort, and the BoostIQ mode enables it to clean carpets and similar surfaces with more dirt. Many users will appreciate that the BoostIQ mode runs automatically, so there’s no need to manually adjust the strength once the vacuum starts running. The 11s will make ping pong motions around the room with no apparent patterns. However, the important part is that it clears every corner of the room.

If you’re up for an affordable robotic vacuum without phone or voice control, this cleaner is a great option.

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, you can purchase the RoboVac 11S for $129.99.

What’s in the box?

• One RoboVac 11S
• One Remote Control with 2 AAA batteries
• Charging Base
• AC Power Adapter
• Cleaning Tool
• One Additional Filter
• Four Side Brushes
• Five Cable Ties
• Welcome Guide
• One-Year Warranty

 

Thanks to its affordable price and robust features, this basic Roomba 614 vacuum cleaner is one of the company’s best-selling products.

This robot vacuum cleaner has proven to be more reliable and repairable compared to other brands. It does a great job on many different surfaces, including rugs. The built-in navigator hardly ever gets stuck. Although it’s recommended to have it clean no more than four rooms at a time for best performance.

You should be aware that the 614 is an entry-level model that still lacks some of the advanced features of its competitors on the upper end. However, what’s important is that it performs excellent at vacuuming dirt, debris, and hair.

This budget-friendly vacuum comes with excellent battery life, although it has basic automation features. Also, it’s best used on hardwood or linoleum floors.

As you let the cleaner do its job, you may notice how it goes over the same place more than once. If it spends more time in one area, it’s simply because there’s more work to be done there. This is due to its iAdapt technology that uses tiny sensors to detect dirt. This same technology also lets the vacuum maneuver around the furniture, go under it, or detect walls. Also, it’s able to predict sudden level changes, so you won’t have to worry about the 614 falling down the stairs.

A great thing about this model is that it comes with a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, unlike many other competitors with a nickel-metal hydride alternative. Sure, the Li-ion batteries can be on the pricey side, but they also last much longer. What you get here is a budget-friendly robotic vacuum cleaner with a long-lasting battery – bingo!

Overall, Roomba 614 is an excellent solution for everyone who wants a basic robotic vacuum cleaner with many conveniences but without some premium features of other models.

Pros:

• Affordable
• Robust Navigation
• Excellent battery life

Cons:

• No Voice Control
• Air Filtration Could Be Better

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, the price for Roomba 614 is $260.48.

What’s in the box:

• One Robot Roomba 614
• One Charging Station
• Line Cord
• One Extra Filter
• One Cleaning Tool
• Owner’s Guide

 

If you’re looking for a robust robotic vacuum cleaner with a self-emptying dustbin, you’ve found one.

You may not be impressed with its list of features, but the i3+ does a pretty decent job in most areas. It’s one of the market’s least expensive self-emptying dock cleaners. The Clean Base uses disposable vacuum bags to keep the dust far away. If you’re not interested in the self-emptying feature, you can also purchase it without the Clean Base addition for a lower price.

When it comes to design, it’s not the same shiny black bot we often see with competitors. Rather, it is made of nicely textured plastic to provide a good grip. It has a matte black design to encase the sides, just like its s9 counterpart.

You can easily connect the Roomba i3 to your iOS or Android device, as well as to your Wi-Fi. Once connected to the internet, the device will create a map of the places it has cleaned, but it won’t save these maps or edit them. This feature is only available with the i7 and s9 Roomba models, however.

Overall, iRobot Roomba i3+ is a great robot vacuum. It has a decent performance, thoroughly cleans the floor, and finally makes for a reasonably priced vacuum with a self-emptying bin.

Pros:

• Self-emptying bin
• Auto-detection of dirty areas
• Great hardwood performance

Cons:

• Loud clean base

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, iRobot Roomba i3+ costs $529.00.

What’s in the Box?

• One Roomba i3+
• A Clean Base Dirt Disposal
• Two Dirt Disposal Bags
• Additional Filter

 

iRobot’s latest robot vacuum cleaner, s9+, brings these powerful devices to a new level. An upgrade from s7+, it comes with a better shape and four times stronger suction power. There are tons of sensors and camera navigation that help it learn the layout of your home over time.

This smart cleaner is also one of the most expensive devices of its kind. However, the smart navigation, self-emptying bin, and robust suction make it high-end for a reason.

Unlike other Roomba models, this vacuum has a D shape that lets it dig deeper into corners and align itself against the walls. Another upgrade from its predecessor is that it comes with sleeker looks, and is smaller in size (12.3 inches in diameter and 3.5 in height.)

You can connect the device to your phone by downloading the iRobot Home app available for Android and iOS devices. When you connect the device, the main screen will show a “Clean” button to start vacuuming. The battery level will show above it.

This device also has Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant integrations. You just need to have their respective apps to connect. Once you do so, you can give voice commands through your phone or other devices to let the cleaner know when to start vacuuming.

The s9+ has excellent navigation capabilities, and you will hardly ever need to manually intervene while it’s vacuuming. It is powerful and intelligent enough to manage and wiggle around chairs and tables easily. It also has one of the strongest suction powers of all robot cleaners. It can suck up different types of debris, including hair and dust.

When it’s done cleaning, the device will automatically head to its Clean Base and empty itself.

Also, there is a handy smart map feature so the cleaner can learn the layout of your apartment after only a few pass-throughs.

However, the S9 has its drawbacks. First, it is a bit louder than most other vacuums. You’ll most likely have to turn up the volume when cleaning in the same room as your TV. Things get even louder when the time comes to empty the bin. However, if you don’t mind the occasional noise, you’ll be fine.

Pros:

• Ultra-powerful suction
• Smart navigation
• Alexa and Google Assistant compatible

Cons:

• Loud
• Pricey

Cost at time of review:

At the time of review, the s9+ costs $1,349.00.

What’s in the box?

• An iRobot Roomba s9+ Vacuum
• Automatic Dirt Disposal
• Two Dirt Disposal Bags
• One Line Cord, North American
• One Filter
• One Extra Corner Brush

 

Roomba i7+ is one of iRobot’s most popular models. The combination of robust cleaning power, intelligent mapping, and automated self-emptying are the highlights of this device.

Design-wise, the i7+ looks like its predecessors at first glance. However, there are numerous differences once you flip the machine over. The bottom of the device is equipped with enhanced rubber rollers with more refined grooves that now have stronger pickup abilities. Also, the LED lights will shine in different colors to let you know about its current state.

Even though it comes with automated bin emptying, at some point, the device will give you notice to replace the bag. The dirt disposal bags for this vacuum cost $14.99 for a pack of three, which means you’ll be facing some long-term recurring costs.

Just like other smart cleaners, you’ll have to give your i7+ a few tries before it learns every corner of your home. It won’t take it too long to create a smart map, and once it does, you can give commands to only clean specific rooms or parts of the apartment.

When it comes to voice control, this device is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Once you connect the machine to one of the services, all it takes is to say, “Hey Google, clean the living room,” and the robot will start cleaning.

Overall, i7+ is an impressive device well worth the investment. If you’re up for a recurring cost of $15 every few months, you’ll get to enjoy one of the most robust robot vacuum cleaners around.

Pros:

• Smart Mapping
• Automatic dust emptying
• Almost 100% automated

Cons:

• Recurring costs

Cost at time of review:

At the time of writing, the iRobot Roomba i7+ costs $639.00.

What’s in the Box?

• One iRobot Roomba i7+
• Five AllergenLock Dirt Disposal Bags
• Clean Base Dirt Disposal
• Line Cord (North American)
• One Additional Filter
• One Additional Side Brush

Verdict: Eufy or Roomba?

Overall, Roomba is more of a high-end robotic vacuum cleaner solution. Its models come with a higher price, more sophisticated features, and a slightly sleeker design. Eufy, on the other hand, is a better option for those looking for a decent robotic vacuum with basic features without breaking the bank. Although Eufy has its own flagship products, such as Hybrid L70, Roomba still offers a higher value overall.

Only 15 years ago, reading about such specs for vacuum cleaners would have sounded like science fiction. Today, it’s reality. Whether you’re tech-savvy and looking for a new addition to your home or just want to test an affordable robotic cleaner, Eufy and Roomba are great brands to try.
