Availability of replacement filters, brushes, and the dock unit warrants periodic verification as inventory thins.
Bottom lineThe brand renaming is primarily a commercial signal: the G30 is no longer part of an active product line, and its long-term parts and software support horizon is undocumented.
ImpactOn autonomy
- No change to on-device navigation or gyroscope capability.
- App scheduling and Wi-Fi connectivity unaffected by brand renaming.
- Level II classification unchanged; firmware support status unconfirmed post-transition.
On readiness
- Retail availability shifted to clearance at major outlets, reducing new-unit supply.
- Replacement consumable availability (brushes, HEPA filters) dependent on Anker's parts pipeline.
- Owner-reported Wi-Fi app continues functioning; long-term app maintenance timeline unannounced.

Brand Transition Context
Anker Innovations introduced the eufy Clean designation for newer robot vacuum models beginning in 2023-2024, while continuing to sell products under the RoboVac name. A full retirement of the RoboVac brand has not been confirmed. The G30 (model T2118), introduced in 2020, was not succeeded by a Clean-branded equivalent at the same gyroscope-tier price point. The Clean line’s entry models shifted to LiDAR and camera navigation, eliminating the gyroscope-only tier the G30 occupied.
Retail and Parts Status
Major US retailers shifted G30 listings to clearance or discontinued status through late 2023 into 2024. HEPA filter replacements and brush accessories remain listed on Amazon under third-party and eufy-branded SKUs as of the entry date. Dock availability is not confirmed through the manufacturer’s own storefront. Owner reports on Amazon describe purchasing third-party brush kits as OEM availability reduced.
App and Firmware
The eufy Home app continues to support the G30’s Wi-Fi scheduling and remote-start features as documented by owner reports. No firmware update for the G30 is documented within the 2023-2024 window. The app version that ships with Clean-branded robots is the same platform, but eufy has not published a compatibility assurance for legacy RoboVac models beyond current app versions.

eufy RoboVac G30 launches with systematic mapped navigation and app control
eufy brought its RoboVac line into systematic, mapped cleaning with the G30, which plots a gyroscope-based row path instead of the random bump-and-turn pattern used on earlier budget models.

Coverage did not confirm whether the mapping data persists between cleaning cycles.
Bottom lineThe navigation change is real; the Edge's added accessory, not a different sensor set, is what separates the two models.
ImpactOn autonomy
- Cleaning path moved from random bump-and-turn motion to systematic, gyroscope-based coverage.
- The companion app displays basic mapping data during and after each cleaning run.
On readiness
- A 2.85 inch profile lets the G30 reach under low-clearance furniture other models miss.
- App and voice control extend scheduling options beyond the physical start button.

What Changed
eufy released the RoboVac G30 alongside the pricier G30 Edge, moving the budget line from the random bump-and-turn cleaning pattern used on earlier non-mapping RoboVac models to a systematic, gyroscope-based row path. The companion app displays basic mapping data generated during cleaning, though the units carry no LiDAR or camera hardware. Rated suction is 2000 Pa, above the 1500 Pa rating of the eufy RoboVac 30C two years earlier, with a stated runtime near 100 minutes. The unit stands 2.85 inches tall, letting it reach under furniture that blocks taller robots.
G30 vs. G30 Edge
Reviews describe the G30 and G30 Edge as sharing the same suction, runtime and navigation hardware. The Edge’s distinguishing feature is a magnetic boundary-strip accessory that blocks the robot from crossing into restricted areas; the plain G30 does not include it.
Verification Note
Coverage reviewed for this entry did not specify whether cleaning maps persist between sessions. That detail was left unstated rather than assumed.
