Brand Transition Context
Eufy (an Anker subsidiary) consolidated its robot vacuum branding under EufyClean in 2024. The transition affected product page naming and app store listings. The RoboVac 30C (model T2108) predates the EufyClean platform and continues to operate through the same cloud infrastructure, now surfaced under the EufyClean app.
Retail Status
Amazon and Best Buy listings for the 30C shifted from standard catalog positions to clearance or reduced-inventory listings. No end-of-support date has been published by Eufy. Replacement parts (brush rolls, boundary strips, filters) remain listed on manufacturer and third-party channels.
App Continuity
The EufyClean app replaced the legacy eufy Home app for robot vacuum control. Owner reports document successful 30C pairing under the new app on 2.4 GHz networks, consistent with the unit’s Wi-Fi specification. No documented firmware version change accompanied the app migration for this model.

Autonomy LadderIIIIIIIVVLevel IIAssisted AutonomyHuman ReadinessReady NowNew to MarketWaitKnown IssuesRobovations Score04055708553LimitedWhat happenedThe change extends the budget RoboVac line into the connected-home market without altering navigation or cleaning performance. Whether the connectivity holds up long-term depends on continued app support, which eufy Clean's later rebrand would eventually test.
Bottom lineThe 30C's news value is connectivity, not a cleaning-performance jump.
ImpactOn autonomy
- Navigation and obstacle handling remain unchanged from the non-connected RoboVac 30 platform.
- BoostIQ's second generation adjusts suction automatically but does not alter the cleaning path.
On readiness
- Wi-Fi and app control let owners start or schedule cleaning away from home.
- Alexa and Google Assistant support add voice commands not available on the RoboVac 30.

What Changed
Anker introduced the eufy RoboVac 30C at IFA 2018 in Berlin as a Wi-Fi-connected variant of the existing RoboVac 30 hardware. The unit adds an onboard Wi-Fi module linking to the EufyHome app and to Amazon Alexa, with Google Assistant compatibility noted in early press coverage. BoostIQ, Anker’s automatic suction-adjustment feature, moved to its second generation. Rated suction increased to 1500 Pa, up from the 1300 Pa of the non-connected RoboVac 11S. The unit stands 2.85 inches tall and ships with magnetic boundary strips to restrict access to specific rooms or objects.
What Stayed the Same
Anker’s own materials and early coverage describe the 30C as the RoboVac 30 platform with connectivity layered on, not a navigation redesign. Reviewers who covered both models found the cleaning pattern, brush layout and obstacle handling consistent with the non-connected RoboVac line, which uses gyroscope-based path tracking rather than LiDAR or camera mapping. The company’s press materials cited a fall 2018 retail window in the United States at a list price near $300.
Verification Note
Precise firmware version numbers and a confirmed U.S. on-sale date were not available in manufacturer or press materials reviewed for this entry.
