Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge isn’t great on carpet, but it boasts top marks for cleaning bare floors. This model is top-notch at navigation—not all robotics are—earning an Excellent rating. It’s also great at cleaning along the edges of walls and corners, and runs rather quietly compared with competing bots. Unlike the other Eufy models on this list, the G30 Edge is WiFi enabled, meaning you can control it from your smartphone. It offers decent data security in our tests, but its data privacy could be better (though it’s not any worse than many competitors).

amazon.com

  The roller brush will get tangled with hair and will require cleaning. This is to be expected but on one occasion, after cleaning the brush and reinstalling it, the vac made a clicking / grinding noise while running. I had to take the brush out again and after reinstalling it, the noise didn't come back. This seems odd, considering the brush was cleaned and not tangled

 It can see walls and will slow down and gently tap the wall before switching directions.  The vac navigates its way through and around table and chair legs, shoes, and other obstacles, remembering where it has already been (presumably by using the mapping feature). It seems to only need a few inches of space between objects (like chair legs) to be able to get in there and clean and rarely gets stuck in those areas.  It also is able to work around some spots that are troublesome in one direction, but ok in other directions

  The runtime appears to be as advertised, which is around 60 minutes on BoostIQ mode (variable suction power). Also, the BoostIQ mode seems to work as it should, increasing suction on carpet and decreasing it on bare floors.  This device is easily added to Google Home by linking the eufy account to Google. Then you can add the device to the home and simply tell google to have robovac (or whatever you name it) start cleaning and/or go home

 This is much better than other models that randomly run around the house with the goal of eventually getting everything clean.  It does not bump into walls full force. It can see walls and will slow down and gently tap the wall before switching directions.  The vac navigates its way through and around table and chair legs, shoes, and other obstacles, remembering where it has already been (presumably by using the mapping feature)

An OK budget vacuum option (short test, in-depth results)

 It loses the little rotating brush on the front occasionally when encountering our thin throw rugs. It does not have enough suction to deep clean carpet well. Our house is about 1600 sq ft on the main floor and the battery usually does not last long enough to do the whole thing. And due to the design it does not clean within 4 inches of walls or other objects where the rotating brush does not reach

 It has to back up and turn around so often, it runs the battery down prematurely. You have to pick up any shaggy throw rugs and move any electrical cords on the floor. It loses the little rotating brush on the front occasionally when encountering our thin throw rugs. It does not have enough suction to deep clean carpet well

Works well on hard floors

 I managed to narrow the noise culprit to the rolling brush, but even after removing the brush and guard, there was still additional noise. A few quick emails to Eufy support with videos of the vacuum and noise resulted in a brand new unit being delivered. 5 stars for customer service and support!  With a new unit in hand, I decided to try and repair the original unit. After disassembling the unit, I found the bearing used to drive the rolling brush fill to the brim with dirt, causing the bearing to stick

Great vacuum with flawed, but fixable design issue

 I thought for sure the vacuum wouldn't navigate between kitchen chairs and under the very tight spaces of our couches and ottoman, but it handled it with ease. When the vacuum did get pinched, it found its way out and I didn't have to intervene. I am very impressed how far these have come since the first days of the iRobot models.  The vacuum sneaks into areas and grabs dust bunnies, hair and particles that your average upright vacuum will miss

First the pros: We have roughly 1600sq ft downstairs of which this vacuum was able to identify 1200sq ft and clean it accurately before the battery ran out. The mapping feature is GREAT and I was very impressed with how well the G30 navigated all of our furniture and what I thought were impassible spaces. I thought for sure the vacuum wouldn't navigate between kitchen chairs and under the very tight spaces of our couches and ottoman, but it handled it with ease. When the vacuum did get pinched, it found its way out and I didn't have to intervene

 This was our main motivation for getting a robovac. Before the first run through our house, we did a cursory sweep of the big areas of our house. Even with the larger dust bin, I had to empty the container after ~600sq ft and it was full. I wish this model would notify you when the bin was full via an optical sensor or something

5 hours before the battery ran out and it still had a couple of areas left to complete, so prepare accordingly. After the battery recharges, (roughly 3.5 hours later) it resumes where it left on the original map to complete the house. The vacuum is VERY thorough, but this takes time to complete

Great little vacuum but it's not God's Chariot

 I then turned to the Eufy vaccuums after by-passing them because I didn't thick it would work on our thick pile carpets. I purchased this one based on the then available Amazon price of $249 and $34 for a 3-year protection plan. I never buy those plans but after my prior Neato vaccuum stopped working after a couple of years I decided it was worth getting that protection for these generally unreliable machines. So, after reading reviews over and over again I opted for this Eufy G30 Edge as it was the only reasonably priced one that Consumer Reports said had no observed flaws

I recently purchase the Eufy G30 Edge, after reading various reviews at length including research from Amazon buyers and Consumer Reports, as well as after trying a Samsung R7040. The Samsung drove me crazy with its random, almost psychotic repetitive movements, poor battery life and need to recharge several times to complete just a couple of small areas--it got returned. I then turned to the Eufy vaccuums after by-passing them because I didn't thick it would work on our thick pile carpets. I purchased this one based on the then available Amazon price of $249 and $34 for a 3-year protection plan

 I've only run it twice, but it worked on my carpet acceptably if not admirably; it runs for 60 minutes on my carpet--longer on a floor; basically works on a fairly logical grid rather than psychotic random walk through space; finds its way home to recharge; and gets my upstairs done in a few hours. The Samsung never got anything completed. This Eufy does a decent job given the inherent limitations of these robots. I haven't had to rescue it either

Overall decent performance relative to the cost

 I was wrong. It is amazing just how much dirt is collected each cleaning cycle; we have three small dogs. As a former mentor for my grandson's high school robotics team, I was intrigued at the ability to navigate and map the available cleaning area while also navigating around typical household obstacles, such as furniture legs. The cleaning area is large enough that the G30 Edge needs to recharge, then resume cleaning

 I don't use Alexa or Google assistant. I also don't use the schedule feature, preferring to start the cleaning cycle at my discretion. My primary use of the wifi is to use some of the features only available on the Eufy app - most important to me was to turn ON the Auto-return feature. The Map feature and Cleaning History are also informative

G30 Edge - Excellent navigation and mapping algorithms

Get cleaner floors with less effort—with the Roomba i3 robot vacuum that offers 10X the Power-Lifting Suction* to pull in dirt, dust and pollen. When allergy season hits or peak pet shedding season comes around, it offers extra cleaning sessions to keep your floors looking their best. It even learns your cleaning habits and suggests cleaning times that work around your schedule. Reactive Sensor Technology helps it avoid getting stuck, while Dirt Detect Technology focuses cleaning where its needed most. When you’re ready to clean, use the iRobot Home App or just say the word—Google Assistant and Alexa can tell your robot to clean with just the sound of your voice. Navigating purposefully and logically in neat rows, it powerfully vacuums your floors using Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes—taking vacuuming off your mind, and your to-do list. *(compared to the Roomba 600 series cleaning system) *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon or its affiliates.

The i3 is better than competitors at getting pet hair out of rugs, and its nimble nav system consistently and thoroughly cleans large spaces, though it’s missing a few advanced features. Like any iRobot Roomba, it should be durable.

This sturdy robot vacuum won’t get bored or distracted, so it’ll do a better job keeping pet hair off your floors than anything driven by a human. The i3 is better than competitors at getting pet hair out of rugs, and its nimble nav system consistently and thoroughly cleans large spaces.

CR’s take: The iRobot Roomba i3 is a great option for homes of any size because it navigates in a grid pattern and keeps track of the spots that it has or hasn’t cleaned. A software update in March 2022 enabled the Roomba i3 to learn the layout of one story of your home, and save it as a two-dimensional Smart Map in a companion smartphone app. With this feature enabled, the Roomba i3 won’t have to start navigating from scratch every time it runs, so it should finish the job faster and run into walls and furniture less often. You can also use the smart map to tell the Roomba i3 to clean specific rooms and avoid others. 
The iRobot brand earned a Very Good rating for predicted reliability (based on data from our member survey). Maintenance and repairs are easy to perform at home, and iRobot has a track record for keeping spare parts available for every Roomba model it has sold. The Roomba i3’s cleaning performance is strong, too. The brushless, rubberized rollers are great for pet hair—it earns an Excellent rating on that test. It’s also great at avoiding bot-snarling hazards like power cords.
The same robot is also available as part of the Roomba i3+ package, which includes a dock that automatically empties debris out of the robot and into a vacuum bag at the end of a cycle—a handy convenience feature. It’s also sold as the Roomba i4 (and Roomba i4+) from certain retailers. iRobot recently rereleased the i3 as the Roomba i3 Evo, which the company is billing as the same robot as the original i3 we tested, but with the new Smart Map feature preloaded.

The iRobot Roomba i3+ earns an Excellent rating in our pet-hair tests, thanks in part to its rubber brush rolls. Beyond that, it excels in its ability to remove debris from bare floors in our tests. It’s one of the bigger models on this list and took on electrical power cords with ease. It comes with a self-emptying docking station, an extra filter, and an extra bag for the docking station. It has Wi-Fi/cellular connectivity, which is always a plus. One downside: You have to purchase replacement vacuum bags for the base.

CR’s take: The I3+ iRobot Roomba (and the similar i3) earn an Excellent rating in our pet-hair tests, thanks in part to their rubber brush rolls. It’s one of the bigger models on this list and took on electrical power cords with ease. One downside: You have to purchase replacement vacuum bags for the base.

 Some of the things i look for here is the ability to pick up fine debris on hard floors on the first pass, which the i3 did effortlessly, even with heavy debris like sand. I also look at its ability to pick up larger debris without too much scattering with its side brush, which, again, the i3 did great with where roombas really shine, though, is with carpet deep cleaning. All roombas have something that other robot vacuums, don't a patented tube brush roll system which is designed to be able to deep clean carpets. This gives roombas a distinct advantage over other robot vacuums for getting deep down debris in carpet

 In any case, in the actual pickup tests, i was more than impressed with the i3. In fact, in terms of the i3's cleaning performance, it seemed to be as good or, i think, even a little better than the i7.

 All roombas have something that other robot vacuums, don't a patented tube brush roll system which is designed to be able to deep clean carpets. This gives roombas a distinct advantage over other robot vacuums for getting deep down debris in carpet. For example, roombas are always at the top of my list when it comes to our deep clean test, where i embed sand into medium pile carpet and weigh their bins. Before and after a 5 minute run, and the i3 was no exception

Welcome to vacuum wars and to our review of the irobot roomba, i3 plus robot vacuum and automatic bin emptying system. I spent the week putting it through a bunch of tests and this video will be our review so links in the description and, let's get started. The irobot roomba i3 plus, is the third robot vacuum from irobot to be equipped with their clean base, bin emptying system, and it's the cheapest of all three of those as well. It'S got some new features i haven't seen before on a roomba, including its new look with a cloth type surface that resists fingerprints and smudges

iRobot Roomba i3+ Robot Vacuum Review - Vacuum Wars

 In a weird shaped room like a hallway or around furniture legs, it is ponderous and feels like it runs over the same spot again and again. In a big room it makes neat, straight, long lines.  For a robot that only knows where it has been by using a tiny sensor on the bottom and the front bumper, it performs remarkably well. Not nearly as well as a LIDAR or camera robot but my wife has privacy concerns about having a live camera in the house so we aren't buying any more intelligent of a Roomba

 We previously had a 600 series and it went through a flood, vacuuming cat pee, numerous disassembly and deep cleanings, it was a tank.  Enter the i3, the robot that is sold as a robot that maps and can do room by room cleaning. Except it doesn't until 3 days later when it decides to update the software to the version that enables that. I opened a ticket with iRobot asking when this was going to be pushed to the robot; I got the software before an answer from them

 But it is a really good deal for a robot that does room by room cleaning and actually has a "proper" supply chain and parts availability.

 Out of warranty repair (thanks for nothing!) is $95. A decision was made to buy a new robot as it would come with new everything and a warranty AND is an iRobot device. We previously had a 600 series and it went through a flood, vacuuming cat pee, numerous disassembly and deep cleanings, it was a tank.  Enter the i3, the robot that is sold as a robot that maps and can do room by room cleaning

I mean, it's OKAY....

- Flic buttons (or some other 3rd party) to allow people in the house to control things without needing to remember obscure routine names.

 Vacuums with this feature typically cost around $1,000, however, which is a lot more than most people are able or willing to spend. That makes the Roomba i3+ EVO especially appealing; at $549.99, it's iRobot's most affordable model with a self-emptying dustbin. Its battery life isn't spectacular and its smart mapping capabilities are limited to a single floor, but depending on your needs and budget, it might be the right model for you
