The G20’s excellent bare floor cleaning and 144-minute battery life make it a good value for users prioritizing convenience and affordability. However, those seeking good pet hair pickup and air filtration performance should look elsewhere.
The Eufy G20 RoboVac is the brand’s entry-level robot vacuum released in 2022 that has Wi-Fi, Alexa, and Google Assistant compatibility for voice activation. Still, unlike some of the best vacuum cleaners, it doesn’t have a dust-trapping HEPA filter or a self-emptying station.
It uses basic object and edge sensors, an internal gyroscope, and a smart pathing algorithm. It does have an app but doesn’t offer in-app navigational control or sophisticated mapping. It has four power levels and a feature that automatically adjusts suction power to switch between carpet and bare floors.OKeep reading for more detailed info, or browse our list of the best robot vacuums and find out how expert reviewers have answered the question, are robot vacuums worth it?

Eufy Robovac
Consensus
our Verdict
The Eufy RoboVac G20 performs well, collecting 99% of fine dust, 96% of larger debris from hard surfaces, and over 50% on carpet. While it lacks advanced mapping and obstacle avoidance, its affordability, quiet 57 dB operation, and Wi-Fi make it a reasonable value option. The battery life is 144 minutes, longer than average for entry-level models. Its plastic build is scratch-prone, and it lacks a HEPA filter.
With its gyroscope navigation system, it isn’t as efficient as LIDAR-equipped models. It has useful app features, including voice control, scheduled cleaning, and return to home. However, poor hair pickup and allergen filtering make it less appealing for pet owners. Its tested 2500 Pa suction is average for an entry-level Robovac.

Compared to the G20, the Eufy Robovac G30 offers slightly more automation and convenience features, such as magnetic boundary strips. However, the G20 performs better in some tests, with a 144-minute tested maximum battery life compared to the G30’s 114 minutes. It also has a more powerful measured suction. The G30 does have more sensors and does a better job avoiding obstacles.

The iRobot has better build quality and comes with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter. See our iRobot Roomba i1 review for details.

The Eufy G20 Robovac doesn’t have an immediate predecessor, but it shares its basic design with the older Eufy G30 Robovac. Compared to that model, the G20 has improved battery life and suction performance but no longer comes with physical boundary strips.
