3. Using Your Omni C28

All UI images shown in this section are for illustration only, and they may be subject to change due to software updates. Please refer to the actual app interface for the most accurate information.

3.1 Important Tips Before Use

  1. Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac.
  2. Fold tasseled edges of rugs underneath to prevent tangling the RoboVac. Avoid cleaning high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 0.71 in / 18 mm, as they may cause the RoboVac to malfunction.
  3. It is strongly recommended to place physical barriers in front of fireplaces and certain areas (i.e., air vents) that may cause damage to RoboVac if entered.
  4. Avoid vacuuming large amounts of water, as it will potentially damage the device.
  5. RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.79 in / 20 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
  6. Anti-drop sensors will prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops in most cases. Sensors are less effective if dirty or used on carpeted / reflective floors. Place physical barriers or set a “No-Go” zone to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.

3.2 Mapping

This feature is designed to help your RoboVac efficiently learn the layout of your home, ensuring thorough and systematic cleaning. By creating a detailed floor plan, your RoboVac can navigate and clean with precision. To maximize the efficiency and accuracy of the mapping process, please follow these steps:

  • Open All Doors: Ensure all doors within the cleaning area are open. This allows the robot to access and map each room seamlessly.
  • Block Off Restricted Areas: If there are specific zones you don’t want the robot to enter, use physical barriers to block these areas. This can enhance mapping accuracy and prevent the robot from entering unwanted spaces. After the mapping is completed, you can remove physical barriers and set up restricted areas to prevent the robot from entering those areas.
  • Remove Obstacles: Clear any objects, such as toys, cables, or small furniture, that might obstruct its path or become entangled in its brushes. This helps RoboVac move freely and map the area without interruptions.
  • Do Not Move the Base Station: Once the floor plan is created, avoid relocating the base station. RoboVac relies on the base station as a reference point for navigation and mapping. Moving it may disrupt the accuracy of the floor plan.
  • To start the mapping process, tap “Start” in the app.Eufy Omni C28 Robot Vacuum 18

3.3 Set Up No-Go Zone and No-Mop Zone

With the eufy app, you can set up a “No-Go Zone” or “No-Mop Zone” as a restricted area. This eliminates the need to use physical barriers, including boundary strips. This feature is only designed for dividing the cleaning zones, not for isolating hazardous areas.Eufy Omni C28 Robot Vacuum 38

3.4 Schedule Cleaning

With the eufy app, you can schedule RoboVac to start cleaning at a particular time.Eufy Omni C28 Robot Vacuum 19

  • You can set the time and customize cleaning schedules from Sunday to Saturday on the eufy app. This function is only available in the app.

3.5.2 Room Cleaning Mode

In this mode, your house is automatically divided into several rooms for cleaning in the eufy app. You can also customize your room settings in the app. RoboVac will clean the selected rooms only and return to the Omni Station after cleaning.Eufy Omni C28 Robot Vacuum 21

3.5.3 Zone Cleaning Mode

In this mode, you can set up a cleaning zone and customize its size in the eufy app. RoboVac will clean the selected zone only.

4. Using the Mopping System

  1. Start cleaning. RoboVac will automatically vacuum and mop. During mopping, you can choose between three water levels via the eufy app.
  2. To prevent the development of odors in the roller mop, be sure to activate the drying function after each mopping task. We strongly recommend setting the drying mode to “Standard Drying” every time to ensure optimal drying results and reduce unpleasant smells.
  3. Regularly empty and clean the dirty water tank to prevent mildew or unpleasant smells. For instructions on how to clean the dirty water tank, refer to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section in this User Guide.
  4. Using RoboVac with Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant Compatible Devices
    With Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant compatibility, your RoboVac is just a voice command away from cleaning every corner of your house.

Before you start, make sure:

  • RoboVac is attached to the Omni Station to ensure there is enough power.

Eufy Omni C28 Robot Vacuum-FAQs

How long do Eufy robot vacuums last?

Eufy robot vacuums typically last between one and two years with regular use, though lifespan can vary depending on maintenance, cleaning frequency, and floor type. Replacing consumables like filters and brushes on time and keeping sensors clean can extend usability. Battery health also plays a major role, and performance may gradually decline after extended daily use.

Is the Eufy Omni C28 a good robot vacuum?

The Eufy Omni C28 is designed as a hands-free cleaning solution with automatic features that reduce manual effort. It generally performs well on hard floors and low-pile carpets, offering reliable suction and smart navigation. It is best suited for users who want convenience and automated maintenance without stepping into the ultra-premium price tier.

Can the battery in an Eufy Omni C28 be replaced?

Yes, Eufy robot vacuum batteries are usually replaceable, including models in the Omni lineup. Over time, lithium-ion batteries lose capacity, leading to shorter runtimes. Replacing the battery can restore performance and extend the vacuum’s overall lifespan. It’s recommended to use official or compatible high-quality replacements to ensure safety and proper functioning.

How does the Eufy Omni C28 compare to Dreame robot vacuums?

When compared to Dreame models in a similar category, Eufy robot vacuums often focus on simplicity and ease of maintenance. Dreame units may offer more advanced mopping systems in certain models, while Eufy typically emphasizes dependable debris pickup and user-friendly operation. The better option depends on whether you prioritize mopping performance or balanced everyday cleaning.

Is Eufy better than Shark robot vacuums?

Eufy robot vacuums often require fewer replacement parts and may offer longer runtimes per charge, making them cost-effective over time. Shark models, on the other hand, can excel at maneuvering and may handle certain carpet types more aggressively. The choice depends on your flooring type, budget, and preference for maintenance costs.

What are the common problems with Eufy robot vacuums?

Common issues include navigation errors, difficulty docking, reduced suction due to clogged filters, and battery degradation over time. Most problems are maintenance-related and can be resolved by cleaning sensors, emptying the dustbin regularly, and replacing worn components. Software updates and proper setup also help minimize connectivity or mapping issues.

What are the negatives of robot vacuums like the Eufy Omni C28?

Robot vacuums may struggle with high-pile carpets, cluttered spaces, or very dark flooring that interferes with sensors. They also require routine upkeep, such as cleaning brushes and replacing filters. While convenient, they may not fully replace a traditional upright vacuum for deep cleaning, especially in homes with heavy debris or thick carpeting.

Which Eufy robot vacuum series is best?

The best Eufy series depends on your needs. Omni models are ideal for users wanting automated emptying and mopping features. X-series models are often suited for stronger suction and pet hair management, while entry-level RoboVac models focus on affordability and simplicity. Your floor type and desired level of automation should guide your choice.

Is the Eufy Omni C28 good for pet hair?

The Eufy Omni C28 can handle pet hair effectively on hard floors and low-pile carpets thanks to its suction power and brush system. However, regular maintenance is important to prevent hair from tangling around the roller. Homes with multiple shedding pets may still require occasional manual deep cleaning for best results.

Is Eufy a reliable brand for robot vacuums?

Eufy is generally considered a reliable brand known for practical features, competitive pricing, and user-friendly designs. The company focuses on delivering value without excessive complexity. While premium brands may offer cutting-edge features, Eufy strikes a balance between performance, convenience, and affordability, making it a popular choice for everyday home cleaning.
