Compare Eufy RoboVac Vacuuming Robots: Eufy RoboVac 11 vs. RoboVac 11+ vs. RoboVac 11c
We have recently received many requests for an article comparing the Anker Innovations' Eufy RoboVac vacuuming robots. This is not surprising when one considers that these very affordable robots have been extremely popular and have received mostly excellent reviews.
This article will compare three of the older Eufy vacuuming robots, the Eufy RoboVac 11, RoboVac 11+ and RoboVac 11c. It will describe in detail the features of these three robots, so you may choose the right one for your home's cleaning needs. Note: More recently Anker Innovations have released four newer Eufy vacuuming robots that are improved versions of the three robots listed above. They are RoboVac 11S, RoboVac 15C, RoboVac 30 and RoboVac 30C. If you'd rather see a detailed comparison of these newer Eufy vacuuming robots, please click: Updated Eufy RoboVac Vacuuming Robots Comparison. This article will compare the Eufy RoboVac 11, Eufy RoboVac 11+ and Eufy RoboVac 11c vacuuming robots.

Comparing the Eufy RoboVac Vacuuming Robots
The three robots look quite similar and have the same dimensons. Except for a couple of major differences, their features are also quite similar. The following table describes the various features that come with these vacuuming robots (please read the explanations to the table notes that follow for a better understanding of the features):
Table Notes 1 - 16 Explained:
Note 1:
All three RoboVac robots considered here calculate the room size and optimize the path to be followed by selecting automatically different cleaning modes until cleaning is complete. Their versatile cleaning modes and their low-profile design allow cleaning under most furniture, and they can be used on various types of floors - low pile carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate and more. Note that these robots also use a HEPA style filter that handles very well hair, pet fur, lint, carpet fuzz and other various allergens.
All Eufy RoboVac robots use a 3-stage vacuuming system consisting of:
Note 2:
Wi-Fi support simply means that you will be able to control your robot from wherever you may be using your smartphone!
Note 3:
In Auto mode the robot will calculate the room size and optimize the path to be followed by selecting automatically different cleaning modes until cleaning is complete.
Note 4:
When Spot Cleaning mode is invoked, the robot will intensively clean a specific area in a spiral manner.
Note 5:
When Edge Cleaning is invoked, the robot reduces its speed when it detects a wall and follows the wall to make sure that the edge is cleaned thoroughly.
Note 6:
When you choose Max mode, the robot starts cleaning with maximum suction power. This is great when vacuuming carpets.
Note 7:
Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility means that you can control your robot hands free with voice commands!
Note 8:
The Power Boost (BoostIQ) feature, built into RoboVac 11+ and 11c, automatically increases the suction power when extra vacuuming strength is needed to get the best cleaning results. Note that the maximum suction power of RoboVac 11+ is 1000pa and the maximum suction power of RoboVac 11c is 1200pa.
Note 9:
All three RoboVac robots can manually be directed where to clean by using the arrows on their Remote Control device.
Note 10:
HEPA stands for "High Efficiency Particulate Air" and is a filter grade defined by the US Department of Energy which requires the filter to be able to remove more than 99.97% of allergens, pollen and particles as small as 0.3 micron.
Note 11:
With all three robots considered here, scheduling can be programmed for a specific time for every day of the week. The robot starts vacuuming as soon as the scheduled time is reached.
Note 12:
When batteries run low, all three robots considered here return to their Charging Base to dock and recharge.
Note 13:
Lithium-Ion batteries are designed to provide longer cleaning sessions and last longer before needing to be replaced.
Note 14:
All three RoboVac robots come with a Remote Control device. The device allows various operations such as the cleaning mode selection (Auto/Spot/Edge/MAX), manual orientation of the robot using the arrows, pausing the robot and activating, sending the robot to charging base, setting the time and scheduling.
The Eufy Remote Control device is shown below:

All Eufy RoboVac robots use a 3-stage vacuuming system consisting of:
- A rolling main brush that picks up dust, debris, dirt, pet hair from the floor.
Note that the brush that comes with Robovac 11+ and 11c was redesigned: it is wider and reduces trapping rugs and sheets. - Double 3-prong spinning side brushes that clean along wall edges.
- Finally, an efficient vacuum that pulls dirt and hair off the brushes and directs it into the bin.

So which of these three robots should you buy?
Here we have three of the most popular and affordable vacuuming robots available today. The three robots look alike and are quite simlar in features: They all support the must-have functions of vacuuming robots, such as anti-collision and stairs detection sensors, scheduling, automatic docking and recharging, and HEPA style filters. Most Amazon customers who provided reviews on these robots were extremely happy with them as shown by the 4 and 4.5 stars (out of 5 stars) average rating these robots had received at time this article was written. Chances are you will be quite happy with either of them. However, as the above comparison table shows, there are a couple of important differences you should keep in mind before deciding which to get:
- RoboVac 11c is the only one of the three robots that support Wi-Fi and is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant. So it is the only one of the three that can be controlled using your smartphone or hands-free with voice commands.
- RoboVac 11+ and 11c are the only two that have the additional Power Boost (BoostIQ) feature which automatically increases suction power when extra vacuuming strength is needed to get the best cleaning results.
- If you have pets and want a robot that can deal well with pet hair, you should consider RoboVac 11c which can boost the suction power up to 1200pa.
- The main brush that comes with Robovac 11+ and 11c was redesigned: it is wider and reduces trapping rugs and sheets.
