INTRODUCTION

   It may have taken over 30 years for robot vacuum cleaners to earn their place in countless homes all over the world but now that they have it's hard to imagine going back to how things were before. Now i may sound like a broken record but ever since i started using robot vacuum cleaners many years ago I’ve spent an inconsequential amount of time cleaning the floors of both my house and office/lab and that's coming from someone with pets. Yes, not all robot vacuum models are created equal but for the most part they all work have something to offer, especially when manufactured by a well-established company. Eufy last year released their RoboVac LR30 Hybrid+ Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and after quite a few reader requests i decided to check it out and see just how it does.

   The LR30 Hybrid+ is yet another robot vacuum cleaner that uses LiDAR navigation with LDS laser mapping algorithms and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technologies to navigate, avoid obstacles and create a valid 3D map of the area (eufy calls this iPath Laser Navigation technology). Just like with most robot vacuum cleaners to get introduced into the market lately the LR30 Hybrid+ comes ready with its own auto empty station which thanks to its 25.000Pa motor and 3 litre dust bag can hold up to 60 days’ worth of dirt. Of course, that's not all the LR30 Hybrid+ offers and so inside the chassis we find a 3000Pa motor (4 suction modes), 360 degree sensors (including anti-fall and edge cleaning ones), dual-purpose bin with mopping pad (200ml for dust and debris and 200ml for water - allows for vacuuming and mopping at the same time - 3 mopping modes), dual size brushes, main roller brush and a 3200mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack which always according to eufy can keep the LR30 Hybrid+ going for up to 145 minutes (quiet mode). Needless to say, via the eufy SmartHome Android/iOS app you can pretty much control all aspects of the LR30 Hybrid+ (compatible with amazon alexa and Google Assistant).
