Anker Eufy G30 Robot Vacuum Review - Is This The Best Robot Vacuum?

[@TopHomeowner]

Do you have a RoboVac?

[@raykupal]

yup we do! it even has a name..... Robo-me 😑

[@TristanBurgener]

Yep! We have the Robovac 11s. It’s been a lifesaver with a toddler. She loves it and always tries to put her toys on it while it’s on the move 😂

[@TopHomeowner]

😂

[@TopHomeowner]

That is cute! I caught my 3 year old getting on it yesterday!

[@ThePoushal]

There should be two brushes right?

[@matthewlewis5841]

Looking at one now for Black Friday. Your review helped. Thank you!

[@BlueChipAdvance]

Great review and great robovac! Purchased this item for $110 off eBay brand new. Our kids love it as well.

[@Flyer7375]

❤️ Specifics make a review authentic, and that's how I evaluate yours. Decibel meter, 2 hrs 30 mins battery life over 1200 sq feet, specifics on servicing & replacements, the Q&A offering precise answers make it a genuinely valuable review. Thank you, and I loved it I'm a senior, living in a 800 sq feet, single floor, all laminate condo, and think this model to be the perfect fit. I'll appreciate if you can comment on how often would the bristle brush require replacement if used just twice a week.

[@TopHomeowner]

Thank you, your comment brightened my day! So far we have not had to replace the bristle brush and we use it 3-4 times a week. I do try to clean out the bristles every other use. My hair (I'm Mark's wife) sheds bad and I remove the bristles to cut the hair and strings it has accumulated off. The rubber gasket around the bristle portion has fallen off (which is replaced at the same time as the bristles) but we haven't noticed a difference in the performance. We have owned it about 6 months and I will let you know when we finally replace the bristles. We will also do an update video to help answer questions that we have received but want to make sure we put it through the tests too. Thank you again for your comment.

[@Flyer7375]

@@TopHomeowner Got it, and it's fair for me to conclude thence, that I won't be needing a brush replacement for at least 12 months, if not more. Thanks for that lightning-fast response that gives me the nudge to proceed with the purchase. 😊

[@caddy67]

Thanks for the honest review, where even the first setup in the new vacuum was real. You really helped us make the decision to purchase the G30!

[@TopHomeowner]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annmanson1218]

Have just purchased this model today couldn't get it connected to my phone WiFi so just pressed the manual button,I live in a 1 bed flat it did a great job 👍

[@TopHomeowner]

Sorry to hear that, have you been able to get it conected to WiFi yet?

[@ThePoushal]

Check if your wifi is 5Ghz. Should be 2.5Ghz unfortunately for the pairing. Once that's done, it will work when you're on 5Ghz. Annoying but it's common in the smart home devices.

[@sunflowerzelda45]

my robot 30 same model, and has a spot for both brushes.. I love this thing.

[@smitty2jones]

I have had the eufy 25c for like 6 years and it's been amazing. Much better, more reliable than my i3+. I'm going to upgrade and the 25c has put higher end eufys on my short list. Plus I already have some replacement parts for this!

[@cwmoser]

Very nice review. You convinced us to buy one - no problem convincing the wifey:-) We purchased the Eufy G30 Verge - Walmart Black Friday for $149.99. It really does do a great job of getting up Pet Hair and Dust Bunnies along with ordinary dirt. We have mostly hardwood and ceramic floors with a few throw rugs. We really like it. Thanks for the great review.

[@TopHomeowner]

Sure thing! Glad I could help and it sounds like you got a great price too :)

[@HarryDangler69]

Would you prefer this or the roomba 694 for pet hair on hard floors?

[@TopHomeowner]

We have a black lab, and the eufy does a good job of picking up all the hair. That said, I don't have any experience with the Roomba 694 so I can't say if it's better.

[@Lee-dh9it]

Does it has map setting of house to auto clean entire house?

[@wpongtepupathum]

Got Eufy G30 last night. Love it.! Highly recommend.

[@TopHomeowner]

Great to hear!

[@littlevoice_11]

Can you set the vacuum to begin cleaning from your phone if you aren't at home? E.g. be at work and tell the Vacuum to clean whilst out?

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes as long as it is connected to wifi you can set it up.

[@littlevoice_11]

@@TopHomeowner thank you 😊

[@absolutely1337]

try boiling water in the microwave in a coffee mug. place the spinny brush in the water 30-45 seconds..they will go strait again and remove the twists and curls...not a perm fix, but will extend the life of the brushes 💕❤

[@JennaKlaire_3p]

I have a roomba right now. She’s a stoopid vac. Our living room and kitchen are open and if I want her in one room or the other she won’t stay. She doesn’t clean in a straight line. Will this at least clean in a straight line? I sweep but I use my robo vac as a back up when I’m in another room. I need it cleaning in straight lines and not in sparatic diagonals

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes, this pattern is a lot different than a roomba. It's mainly straight lines...although it does sometimes do a room at an angle for some reason. Much much less chaotic than other brands I've seen

[@NN-hq7xb]

I just order it and can't wait for it to arrive, thank you for the comprehensive review!

[@TopHomeowner]

Glad it was helpful!

[@conwazere96]

Hey, thanks for the review! I have a 2 storey home and I'm looking at getting one of these. Would I be able to set it to do downstairs one day, then carry it upstairs the next and get it to vacuum upstairs?

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes, you can do that. This model actually re-maps every time it runs, so moving it between floors is fine

[@JasonandaCamera]

Hi, great video. I have a Q: how does it work when you pick it up and place it in another room? Example: I have the 25C (love it) and regularly carry it upstairs to clean my bedroom and office. Its dock is downstairs. This is never an issue as it uses random navigation, but the G30 uses smart navigation to more efficiently map its cleaning. So, would pausing it midway thru a downstairs cleaning and bringing it upstairs cause issues such as messing with its path? Given that I would be interrupting it? Or would it know to "refresh" its route once I move it elsewhere? Hope this makes sense, thank you :)

[@TopHomeowner]

It refreshes the map every time it cleans so if you paused it during a cleaning cycle and moved it to an entirely different area... I think it may have some problems. Although I can't say that I've tried this. I assume it remaps every cycle to prevent it from cleaning the same area twice and account for things that can move around like furniture and toys. At first I thought it would map the floor and then remember it for the next time, but it doesn't. Moving to a different floor before it starts should work OK. Every time you pick it up when it's cleaning (or paused) it tells you to put it back in the same place. I hope this answers your question!

[@gispaAPRN]

Great video all around. Just bought one and waiting for it to arrive.

[@TopHomeowner]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[@littlevoice_11]

Do you have a guide/review of the app specifically? It would be really interesting to see how the app works in more detail

[@TopHomeowner]

We do not at this time have more on the app specifically, mainly because they are constantly updating and changing the app to make it more user friendly.

[@littlevoice_11]

@@TopHomeowner is the app the same for x8?

[@littlevoice_11]

@@TopHomeowner have you tried an efuy with an iPhone?

[@blueskythinking8312]

It kept going over this area under a square coffee table and each time it missed the tiny flower petals and other light debris under the table. It kept pushing it away with the brush where it would escape the suction of the vacuum. It just annoyed the crap out of me. Mapping seems shitty too if you have a complicated layout

[@TopHomeowner]

Sometimes our boys have to "rescue" it. I think the more expensive models use a laser as well for mapping and obstacle avoidance

[@Saybooboy]

Ah, this is a great review - just what I was looking for, thanks so much (all the way over in the UK!) Just one question. My parents have some precious furniture and I am worried about it banging into it. From your review I think you say the brushes sweep around anything in it’s way so doesn’t actually touch anything, but I just wanted to check before I go ahead? Thanks so much!

[@TopHomeowner]

The brush helps to sweep debris into it's path. To be clear, the vacuum will still bump into objects lightly and maneuver around them. I personally wouldn't be concerned about it damaging anything because it's really gentle and the front has a soft bumper, and it uses infrared sensors to try and avoid obstacles as well. That said, you understand what's best, so if that doesn't sound like it will work for your parents' furniture then it's always best to play it safe. They have higher-end models that use a laser for mapping as well (like the X8) so that may be a better option for you.

[@kuldeepraj4064]

Awesome job by Top Homeowner, thanks buddy

[@TopHomeowner]

Sure thing!

[@Ickeyland]

Excellent review and that has been my experience as well.

[@raydawn675]

I got mine on Black Friday at Walmart for 120 bucks and I've had it for 4 days and I have to say I absolutely love it. every time I use it the bin is full of dust and dirt. Much better sucks then my old vacuum cleaner and I love that you can record your own voice for it, I have it cussing up a storm every time it doesn't action LOL. And like everybody has a problem with it getting stuck in the furniture I will have to figure out a way to increase the heights of the bumpers basically give it eyebrows, oh and by the way I've named mine Babette they even make French costumes to put on these things feather duster included LOL

[@TopHomeowner]

Glad it's working well and it sounds like you got it at a great price!

[@Babalutu573]

Hi, very thorough review! I've been thinking about getting this vs a roomba i7, my house is not very big and mostly wood floors but I do have a lot of uh obstacles in the house, which one would you think is better?

[@TopHomeowner]

This is honestly the only robot vac we've used so I can't speak to other brands. One thing we liked about eufy was that the patterns are more logical. Roomba's tend to vacuum in lots of different directions which makes them seem less efficient. To me at least. If you have a lot of obstacles, paying for one that has a laser based scanner as well might be your best option. Hope this helps!

[@kamilamukailova872]

Your kids are very cute. I actually got this model too a few days ago and deciding between this and Roborock E4

[@TopHomeowner]

Thank you! I hope you like it as much as we have.

[@SpectralightPhoto]

Excellent video. Thank you. It looks like you didn't have any problems with the vac starting from an area smaller than the manual suggested. Do you still keep it at the same spot? No problems with that smaller area? We don't have the area they say to use in the manual and are curious how small a starting spot we can get away with?

[@TopHomeowner]

We do keep it in the same spot and haven't had any issues really. It does a really good job of lining up and approaching the base at the correct angle. Maybe once or twice it has pushed it base down the wall or landed on it oddly but I think that had more to do with it docked on carpet vs hard surface.

[@SpectralightPhoto]

@@TopHomeowner Thank you for your fast reply!

[@TopHomeowner]

Let us know how you like it!

[@parminderdeogan5592]

Hi great video will this do all my rooms if I leave all the doors open And will it remember a map of each room and floor in the house so up stairs and down stairs

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes, it will go into the rooms. It looks like it re-learns the floor-plan every time it runs, so moving it between floors should be fine.

[@SniperUSMC]

What kind of deal did you get on this vacuum? I see it with $90 off now

[@TopHomeowner]

I believe I got it on sale for $270 last March

[@gertjevalk4688]

Does he stops mopping when he is on a carpet?

[@TopHomeowner]

This unit vacuums only. I haven't had a chance to try one that mops as well but I think you can setup different cleaning zones in the app.

[@hippopotamus86]

Can it work on two separate floors? Does it need to remap everytime?

[@TopHomeowner]

It actually remaps every time it runs so moving between floors isn't an issue.

[@ericdewey4031]

Did you do a decibel reading on the laminate floors?

[@TopHomeowner]

Do you know the difference between the g30 and the g30 verge?

[@TopHomeowner]

The Verge also includes a 6' boundary strip to block off an area of your home. They are the same spec wise.

[@TheoFennel]

How affective is it with just 1 brush. I've never seen a Robo Vac with 1 brush they normally have 2 on each sides near the front.

[@TopHomeowner]

Seems to do a good job. We still vacuum every couple weeks but the robot does a good job, especially in-between.

It's a gimmick. You can't add soap to the water so the mop feature will rarely get used. But let's wait for our champ's review.

[@dahalsr]

Thanks for your review. I was wondering if you could share your experience with durability of the 30G vacuum since April 21. Has the noise level change? Any other updates to your initial impression?

[@TopHomeowner]

No change to the noise level. The "sweeping" bristles are getting worn down so those will need to be replaced soon. I will say it would be nice if it would figure out the most efficient path from previous cleanings, but it seems like it has to relearn every time.

[@danielacesar6485]

What is your experience on the battery life and charge time? Several comments on other sites show 45 min battery life, 6 hours charge time. Is that accurate?

[@TopHomeowner]

For standard suction, we get between 1 1/2 - 2 hours of runtime. I assume the other settings would reduce the runtime, but we've never tried them because we don't need it. It does take a while to fully charge but I don't think its 6 hours, more like 2-3. It's definitely not a quick solution, but since it vacuums our carpets more frequently than we would, it's great for us. Hope this helps!
