Eufy robovac L70 hybrid full reviews 2020
Anker’s sub-brand, Eufy, has been making a line of affordable robovacs. Its last two models have been superb, but the company is looking to step things up with its latest model, the Eufy RoboVac L70 Hybrid. Given the added versatility, it only needs to prove it’s smart at tackling mopping to give its contemporaries something to worry about.
Design
What made the two previous Eufy robots we reviewed, the RoboVac 11S Max and 15C Max, so notable was that they featured low-profile designs that allowed them to clear tight spaces. That’s no longer the case here, as the RoboVac L70 Hybrid’s increased height of 105 millimeters means it won’t be getting underneath couches to clean places that aren’t as accessible.
Gone also is the modern, tempered-glass styling that made Anker’s previous robot vacuums some of the more attractive at their price points. Instead, the 11S Max relies on a more conventional design with white, all-plastic construction. Thankfully, the matte finish makes it less prone to smudges and other debris. What it lacks in style, however, the RoboVac L70 Hybrid makes up for with an efficient cleaning routine.
Strong suction power for cleaning
The suction on the RoboVac L70 Hybrid is fantastic and it picks up a ton of dirt and dust on its voyage around our living room and kitchen. The vacuum is slightly louder than previous models, but that can be attributed to the higher suction power. The vacuum is also slightly taller than previous versions, so it may not fit under all of the same furniture, but that’s due to the spinning laser sticking up from the rear of the vacuum body.
iPath Laser Navigation
The more efficient a robot’s cleaning path, the more floor it will cover per battery charge. The RoboVac L70 Hybrid moves in the most efficient way of all – a zigzag pattern. Using AI Map Technology, the robotic vacuum creates and remembers a map of your home after its first pass-through.
Fall-prevention sensors mean you can let the robot clean upstairs without it taking a tumble. It’s also compatible with boundary tape should you choose to buy a roll. Treaded wheels give the 3.96-inch-tall L70 Hybrid exceptional climbing ability, and the robot’s plastic cover is less likely to shatter than tempered glass.
Easy vacuuming
Despite only having a single, front-mounted brush, the RoboVac L70 Hybrid delivers when it comes to cleaning performance. In fact, it has the strongest suction to date in Eufy’s lineup with its 2200Pa of power. It helps, too, when the underside roller brush rotates to funnel debris, pet hair, and crumbs into the bin. The sensors around the unit also allow it to hug walls tightly and turn corners with ease, aiding performance. Unlike previous RoboVacs, the collection bin is accessible via the top lid, which must be removed alongside the washable filter to empty the bin completely. There are more steps involved this time, so cleanup isn’t as quick.
Mopping with water only
New to the Eufy fold is mopping, a feature that adds more depth to an otherwise predictable robot vacuum. The mopping plate attaches to the rear underside of the RoboVac L70, and makes use of a removable microfiber cloth. Before mopping, you need to fill the compartment in the collection bin with water. Once that’s done and the mopping attachment is fastened on, the device automatically goes into mopping mode. It vacuums as it does normally, but dispenses a little bit of water onto the cloth when doing so.
From here, the RoboVac L70 Hybrid will go about its normal cleaning routine — all while mopping the floor and leaving a trail of slick surfaces behind. The water does well to give hardwoods and tiled floors that clean feel, but since it doesn’t utilize any sort of detergent, it doesn’t necessarily make them germ-free. You’ll also want to set up no-go zones over rugs and carpeted areas to prevent the RoboVac L70 Hybrid from attempting to cover such terrain while in mopping mode.
Wi-Fi Connectivity and a 2.5-Hour Runtime
As a Wi-Fi-enabled robotic vacuum, you can control it with the EufyHome smartphone app. From the app, you can block off the robot’s access to any part of your home and select specific zones where you want it to vacuum or mop. With a Google or an Amazon virtual assistant, you can give the L70 Hybrid voice commands too.
Inside the RoboVac L70 Hybrid, there’s a lithium-ion battery that keeps the suction strong no matter its charge level. The battery’s capacity of 5,200 milliamperes provides an amazingly long runtime of 2.5 hours. When the battery needs to recharge, the robot self-docks and continues to clean afterward.
How long will it last?
The Eufy brand continues to grow within the robot vacuum space, proving that the company’s lineup is just as reliable as its competitors. With proper maintenance, the RoboVac L70 Hybrid is likely to last for a long time. Pair physical upkeep with routine software updates designed to enhance the robovac’s cleaning performance and routines, and it’s bound to stay in tip-top shape for years to come.
