Using Your RoboVac
Important Tips Before Use
- Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac. You can use the supplied cable ties to organize your wires and power cords.
- Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
- Keep RoboVac away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent RoboVac from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
- Keep RoboVac away from wet areas.
- RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
- Anti-drop sensors prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on reflective/very dark-colored floors. It is recommended to apply the Boundary Strip(s) to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.
TIP: Place physical barriers or Boundary Strips in front of fireplaces and areas that may cause damage to RoboVac if entered.
Preparation
- Install the side brushes before use.
- Turn on the main power switch on the bottom of RoboVac.
TIP: Remove the sticker next to the power switch, and the foam blocks beside the bumper before use. - Place the Charging Base on a hard, level surface and against a wall.
- Remove objects within 3 ft/1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft/2 m of the front of the Charging Base.
- Connect the round connector of the adapter into the power socket on the Charging Base and the other end into a wall outlet.
When the Charging Base connects to AC power, the LED indicator on the Charging Base is SOLID WHITE.
TIP:
- Install the Charging Base in a location that RoboVac can easily access. It is recommended to place the Charging Base against a wall, and on a hard-level surface rather than on rugs or carpets.
- Always keep the Charging Base plugged in, otherwise RoboVac will not automatically return to it.
Charge Your RoboVac
- RoboVac has a pre-installed rechargeable battery that has to be fully charged before use.
- RoboVac returns to the Charging Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
Method 1: Attach RoboVac to the Charging Base by aligning its charging pins with the charging pins on the base.
Method 2: Press on the remote control to return RoboVac to the Charging Base.
TIP: Turn off the main power switch if RoboVac will not be used for a long period of time. To preserve the battery’s lifespan, recharge at least once every 6 months.
Use Your RoboVac with the EufyHome App
To enjoy all available features, it is recommended to control your RoboVac via the EufyHome app.
Before you start, make sure that:

Select a Cleaning Mode
NOTE: You can also select a cleaning mode via the EufyHome app.
Auto cleaning
RoboVac optimizes its cleaning path by selecting different cleaning modes automatically until cleaning is complete. This is the most commonly used cleaning mode.
Press on RoboVac or / on the remote control to start cleaning in Auto Mode.
TIP:
- RoboVac will return to the Charging Base automatically when the battery level becomes low or when RoboVac finishes cleaning.
- By default, RoboVac starts in Auto cleaning mode when it is turned on.
BoostIQTM Feature
When the BoostIQTM feature is enabled, RoboVac will automatically increase the suction power if it detects stronger power is needed to ensure the best clean. BoostIQTM is ideal for cleaning thicker carpets and hard-to-sweep messes, which will reduce the total cleaning time, but increase the noise level. If the vacuuming noise caused by BoostIQTM disturbs you, you can disable this feature. This feature only works in Auto and Quick cleaning modes.
In Auto or Quick cleaning mode, press on the remote control repeatedly to adjust the suction power level.
- The corresponding icon is displayed on the remote control.
NOTE: When RoboVac starts cleaning in Auto or Quick mode the next time, it will clean according to the suction power level you previously selected.
Spot cleaning
RoboVac intensively cleans a specific area in a spiral pattern, useful if there is a concentrated area of dust or debris. In Spot mode, RoboVac will stop cleaning after 2 minutes.
Press on the remote control to start cleaning in Spot Mode.
Edge cleaning
RoboVac reduces its speed when it detects a wall and then follows the wall to ensure the edge is cleaned thoroughly. In Edge mode, RoboVac will clean for 20 minutes and return to the Charging Base.
Press on the remote control to start cleaning in Edge Mode.
Quick cleaning
RoboVac will automatically stop cleaning after 30 minutes and return to the Charging Base in this mode. If any small room or area needs to be cleaned, it is recommended to select this mode to save time and power.
Press on the remote control to start quick cleaning mode.
Manual cleaning
You can direct RoboVac to clean a particular area by using the directional buttons on the remote control.
Use the Boundary Strip
With the Boundary Strip, you can keep RoboVac away from any area or item you do not want RoboVac to clean. RoboVac will recognize the Boundary Strip and will not cross into the blocked-off area.
- Identify the area or item you do not want RoboVac to get close to.
- If necessary, use scissors to cut the Boundary Strip to a shorter length. Be sure to correctly measure the length before cutting.
- Apply the supplied strips of adhesive tape to lay the Boundary Strip flat on the floor.
Make sure the strip is placed FLAT on the floor or under an area rug.
TIP:
- If the Boundary Strip is rolled up, remove and then re-apply on the floor with adhesive tape. Otherwise the Boundary Strip may not work well.
- Make sure the Boundary Strip is placed on the same surface plane RoboVac is used on.
- Be careful not to damage the floor when using adhesive tape. It is not recommended for use on carpets.
- Keep the Boundary Strip away from objects that emit excessive heat.
