The Eufy HomeVac 30 handheld vacuum is compact however mighty

Not too long ago, I spotted that my automotive deserves higher.

My Subaru Forester — also called the Grey Woman as a result of she’s austere and no-nonsense — has taken me all around the nation, hosted memorable moments, and by no means demanded an excessive amount of. And the way have I repaid her? By treating her as my very own moveable dumpster. She has endured sandy ft, spilled popcorn, and many canine hair.

Whereas my house will get the common Dyson remedy, my automotive has seen no such luxuries aside from the sporadic shop-vac at a automotive wash. I like my Dyson, but it surely’s not best for reaching these awkward crevices and I do not wish to lug it out to my automotive regularly.

So I started my seek for a strong handheld vacuum that would decide up what my Dyson could not, and examined out Eufy’s HomeVac H30 Enterprise. The Enterprise, which prices $159.99, is the least costly mannequin from the H30 sequence.

The HomeVac H30 Enterprise comes normal with two attachments: the 2-in-1 crevice instrument and the multi-tool. The Mate and the Infinity have the identical physique and specs, however supply completely different attachments, which accounts for the completely different costs. As a substitute of the multi-tool, the Mate ($179.99) comes with the 2-in-1 and a mini motorized pet hair attachment, and the Infinity ($199.99) comes with the 2-in-1 and a full-length attachment for mopping and cleansing onerous flooring. You too can purchase the mini motorized pet brush ($29.99), onerous ground attachment ($29.99), different equipment, and additional elements individually, on the Eufy web site.

After utilizing the HomeVac H30 Enterprise for a number of weeks, I’ve decided that it’s a worthy addition to my vacuum household. The design is not excellent, but it surely’s helpful for small areas that my Dyson cannot get to.

First impressions

The HomeVac H30 Enterprise arrived in a smooth black field, concerning the measurement of two shoeboxes laid end-to-end. Arrange was quite simple. All I needed to do was join the battery to the slim physique, which went into place with a satisfying “click on,” after which arrange the charging dock. The dock holds the physique and the 2 attachments effectively, which makes the general footprint of the vacuum and its elements small and tidy. It may be mounted on a wall, however may additionally simply be tucked away in a cabinet or beneath a aspect desk.

So far as vacuums go, the general look is fairly stylish. The cylindrical form is unobtrusive and low-profile, which is one thing I did not understand I cared about on the subject of vacuums. The form additionally makes it best for stepping into small areas like between the seat and the console.

The two-in-1 attachment is slim sufficient to get into these crevices, and a press of the crimson button slides the duster brush down so you should use the attachment with or with out it. The multi-tool is a funnel form, which is efficient for sucking up crumbs and hair from flat surfaces just like the seats and ground. It is a small element, however my solely gripe concerning the attachments is that they do not click on in and misplaced just like the battery does. There’s a tiny little nub that retains them in place, however I’ve checked the instruction handbook, how-to movies, and FAQ boards, and did not discover something about correct elimination. I believe you are supposed to simply pull the attachments off, however there must be some clarification there.

Placing it to the take a look at

Based on the Eufy web site, the H30 fashions take 4 hours to completely cost. The Lithium-ion battery has 2500mAh, which interprets to 20 minutes of energy on “Eco Mode” and 10 minutes of energy on “Max Mode.” Ten to 20 minutes would not sound like quite a bit at first, but it surely’s truly lots when you concentrate on the meant floor areas. On Eco Mode, I vacuumed my sofa in effectively beneath 20 minutes. Later, I used Max Mode on the passenger seat, driver seat, and entrance ground of my automotive which took about 5 minutes. Different critiques have talked about the vacuum’s battery life as considered one of its cons. That could be a downside for some, however I do not plan on utilizing it for large-scale jobs so it hasn’t bothered me.

With a motor energy of 200W and a suction energy of 80 AW/16 kPa, the H30 Enterprise is surprisingly mighty for its measurement. For reference, upright vacuum ought to have 100W or 20kPa, which implies that this handheld vacuum is sort of as highly effective. Sadly its highly effective motor can also be fairly loud at 78dB, which is greater than the common of 70dB.

When utilizing it for longer durations, I additionally started to take concern with the deal with. Whereas I appreciated the H30’s streamlined look, it looks as if its perform got here at the price of its design. The deal with is just too huge to grip comfortably whereas holding it for lengthy durations of time, and though it supposedly solely weighs 1.eight kilos, it felt heavier than that.

My favourite characteristic is the little flashlight beneath the nozzle that turns mechanically with the vacuum. I by no means realized what number of darkish corners a automotive has, and the overhead mild within the automotive simply would not reduce it. It’s unbelievably helpful on the subject of vacuuming beneath the automotive seats and the ground beneath the steering wheel/glove compartment and it makes me marvel why all vacuums haven’t got it.

The underside line

After two weeks of utilizing the Enterprise, I can confidently say that it provides worth to my cleansing routine. My automotive is unquestionably cleaner, and I discover myself extra inclined to scrub it because it’s really easy to do a fast go. Equally, the Enterprise is useful round the home after I’m too lazy to tug the Dyson out of the closet. Spilling espresso grinds all around the counter the opposite day did not appear to be the standard catastrophe. Just a few fast passes throughout the counter and all was resolved.

The $159.99 price ticket makes it an even bigger funding than different handheld vacuums. And people eager about higher ergonomics and an extended battery life may wish to keep on with a full-size vacuum. However the highly effective motor and compact measurement make it a stable alternative.
