Okay, here’s my take on sharing my experience with charging my Eufy devices, mimicking that blog post style you showed me:
Alright folks, let’s talk Eufy charging, ’cause I know you’re wondering how long this whole thing takes. I’ve been messing around with Eufy cams and robovacs for a while now, and figured I’d share my real-world experience.
First off, let’s tackle the EufyCams. When I unboxed my EufyCam 2 Pro, it had some juice already – like 70% or so, if I had to guess. Plugged it into the HomeBase, which, yeah, has that Anker Power IQ thingy.
- The Claim: Eufy says 0-100% charge via HomeBase takes around 4 hours.
- My Experience: More like 3-ish hours from that half-charged state. Not bad, not bad at all. Used the cable it came with, plugged directly into the HomeBase. Didn’t bother with some random phone charger.
Now, I saw some stuff online about leaving the EufyCam plugged in all the time. Yeah, nah. I mean, I get the idea of constant power, but I’m also paranoid about frying the battery or something. Plus, I’m pretty sure it messes with the whole “weatherproof” design if you’re constantly fiddling with the charging port cover.
I did leave it plugged in once, during a massive rainstorm ’cause I was worried about the battery dying mid-downpour. But I usually just charge it up when the app tells me the battery’s low.
Moving on to RoboVacs! I got the Eufy RoboVac 30C. Simple little guy.
- How I Charge It: Just let it dock itself. That’s the whole point, right?
- Indicator Light: Yep, mine goes solid blue when it’s full. No guessing games here.
I did run into one weird situation. My RoboVac wouldn’t charge at all! Turns out, some dust bunnies had built a little nest under the charging base, preventing a good connection. Cleaned that up, and bam! Charging like a champ again. So, pro-tip: keep your charging base clean.
Honestly, charging Eufy stuff is pretty straightforward. The cams last a decent amount of time, and the RoboVac just does its thing. No complaints here. Just remember to keep that charging base dust-free!
One more thing,DON’T use cheap cables! I tried charging my EufyCam with some random USB cable I found in a drawer, and it took FOREVER. Use the cable that comes with the device, or a good quality replacement. Trust me on this one.
So yeah, that’s pretty much my experience with charging Eufy stuff. Hope it helps!
