eufy RoboVac G30 Edge Vacuum Review

The eufy G30 Edge feels decently well-made. It's mostly made of hard, dense plastic, though its bumper and wheels are made of rubber. The top plastic surface of the vacuum has a glossy finish that gives it a glass-like appearance and features three control buttons. It feels quite sturdy overall, though its dust bin feels somewhat cheap, as though it could break if you drop it. Thankfully, the out-of-the-box setup is quite simple, as all you have to do is fit the side brushes into place and plug in the dock station.

The eufy G30 is somewhat difficult to maintain due to the high number of parts that require regular maintenance, though they're fairly easy to access.

• Dust bin: You can remove the dustbin by pressing the release button. It should be emptied after each use.
• Brush guard: You can remove the brush guard by pressing the release tabs and pulling it out. It should be cleared of stuck-on debris once a month.
• Brushroll: You can access this part by flipping the vacuum over, removing the brush guard, and unclipping the brushroll from its housing. It should be cleaned once a week with the provided cleaning tool, or, in cases where there's a more noticeable buildup of debris, a separate vacuum cleaner.
• Filter: The filter is located in the dust bin lid. It should be cleaned once or twice a week, depending on if you have a pet, by tapping it against a garbage bin to dislodge stuck-on debris.
• Side brush: The single side brush can simply pulled out of its socket. You should clean it once a month by hand or with a damp cloth.
• Swivel wheel: The swivel wheel can be removed from its socket. It should be cleared of stuck-on debris or hair wraps once a month
• Sensors: The sensors should be cleared of any stuck-on dust or dirt with a clean cloth or cleaning brush.

The eufy RoboVac G30 Edge has many recurring costs.

The eufy RoboVac G30 is remarkably easy to store. It has a compact body and a low-profile charging station with room for any excess power cord length.

The eufy G30 Edge has a small dirt compartment. It falls some way short of the advertised claim of 0.6L and doesn't have a max fill line indicator to let you know how full it is.

The eufy G30 Edge has a virtually unlimited range, as long as it has room left in its dirt compartment and sufficient battery life. That said, it can't climb or descend stairs.

The eufy G30 Edge is very portable. It doesn't weigh too much, which makes it fairly easy to carry to another room despite its lack of a carrying handle.

The eufy RoboVac G30 delivers excellent battery performance. In its most powerful 'MAX' suction mode, it still yields more than 70 minutes of continuous runtime. If it's configured to run in its default 'Standard' mode, you can expect over 110 minutes of cleaning time.

The indicator light makes it simple to check the current battery status. When charging, it changes from solid orange to solid blue once it's fully charged, which takes roughly four hours. If you want something that recharges more quickly, take a look at the iRobot Roomba 614. In normal operation, the light changes from solid blue to flashing blue to signal that it's returning to its charging dock. A flashing red light means that it has encountered an error.

The eufy G30 has a couple of quality of life features. There are four suction modes to adapt to different surface types: 'Standard', which is the default, 'Turbo', 'MAX', and 'BOOST IQ'. The latter mode allows the vacuum to switch automatically between the 'Standard' and 'Turbo' suction modes depending on the detected surface type. Two different cleaning modes affect how the appliance approaches the cleaning task. 'Auto Cleaning' is the default mode, while 'Spot Cleaning' intensely cleans a small, localized area.

The eufy G30 Edge doesn't have many tools. It's fitted with one side brush that pushes debris on the edges of the vacuum's cleaning path into the way of its main brushroll. It comes with an additional replacement side brush as well as a cleaning brush with a hook blade to help remove stuck-on debris from these parts.

This vacuum doesn't have any alternative configurations.

The eufy G30 has an okay performance on bare floors. It clears small debris like rice without an issue but has quite a bit of trouble with pet hair as well as bulkier material like pieces of cereal.

The eufy G30's performance on low-pile carpet is poor. It really struggles with fine debris like baking soda. It may also take quite a few passes to fully suck up pet hair and larger sand-like material.

This vacuum performs poorly on high-pile carpet. It doesn't suck up all that much pet hair and really struggles with both fine debris like baking soda and larger, coarser material like sand.

The eufy G30's maneuverability is alright. In its 'Auto-Cleaning' mode, it maps out the room before it starts cleaning it. While it does use smart-pathing to plot a route, obstructions can throw it off and cause it to veer in unexpected directions. It also struggles to climb onto high-pile rugs, and tassels and electrical cords get stuck underneath it. Thankfully, it's small enough to easily navigate under tables and couches.

This vacuum has an amazing suite of navigation features. With its companion app, you can schedule cleaning times, check cleaning session history, change suction and cleaning modes, and even remote pilot it with directional buttons. Also, it comes with a couple of physical boundary strips that can be used to keep the vacuum from entering certain areas, unlike the eufy RoboVac 15C. While you do miss out on a couple of options without its companion app, the vacuum can function without an internet connection.
