Description
The eufy Robot Vacuum Cleaner G40+ has a sleek and tiny design, measuring only 2.85 inches high, allowing it to effortlessly go under furniture and into tight areas. It has a powerful 2000Pa suction power that effectively collects dirt, dust, and debris. The vacuum has a rechargeable battery that may give up to 100 minutes of continuous cleaning time.
The gadget comes with a set of side brushes to help gather waste from walls and corners, as well as a huge 0.6L dustbin that requires less frequent emptying. The G40+ also has an anti-scratch tempered glass cover to ensure longevity and simplicity of maintenance.
Using Your RoboVac
Important Tips Before Use
- Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac.
- Fold tasseled edges of rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in / 26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
- 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.
- Keep RoboVac away from wet areas during cleaning.
- RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in / 16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
- 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, or dark-colored floors. Place physical barriers to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.
Eufy Robot Vacuum Cleaner G40+ Preparation
- Remove the foam blocks beside the bumper before use.
- Install the side brush before use.
- Turn on the main power switch on the right side of RoboVac.
- Place the auto-empty station on a level surface and against a wall.
Install the supplied protective pad under the auto-empty station before using it on a carpet.
- Remove objects within 3.3 ft/1 m to the left and right sides and within 6.6 ft / 2m of the front of the auto-empty station. If you cannot remove the objects, check whether RoboVac can return to the auto-empty station normally. If not, contact eufy Customer Service for help.
Connect the power cord to the auto-empty station and a wall outlet.
When the auto-empty station connects to AC power, the LED indicator on the auto-empty station is steady white.
TIPS
- The auto-empty station has two versions: high-voltage and low-voltage. The voltage information can be found on the bottom of the device. Make sure you have purchased the device with the correct voltage, otherwise it may not work normally.
- Install the auto-empty station in a location that RoboVac can easily access. It is recommended to place the auto-empty station against a wall, and on a hard, level surface rather than on rugs or carpets.
- Always keep the auto-empty station plugged in, otherwise RoboVac will not automatically return to it.
Use the Auto-Empty Station
- RoboVac will return to the auto-empty station at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
- Make sure the power cord is connected to a power outlet and the dust bag is properly installed.
- Based on eufy's internal laboratory tests, the dust bag can lock 99.7% of allergens (such as dust, garbage, dust mites, pet dander, etc.) to prevent them from emitting into the air.
- If the cleaning time or the time period between two cleaning sessions is too short, the auto-empty station may not empty the dust box automatically.
- The emptying function will not be activated if you have selected the Do- Not-Disturb mode in the eufy Clean app.
- Certain noise may exist when the auto-empty station is working. You are recommended to place the device in a proper location or select the Do- Not-Disturb mode in the eufy Clean app to prevent noise interference.
Attach RoboVac to the auto-empty station by aligning its charging pins.
- RoboVac starts charging automatically.
- If RoboVac has finished a round of cleaning (more than 15 minutes), it will empty the dust box automatically by default when it returns to the auto-empty station.
LED Indicator | Status of Auto-Empty Station |
Steady white, with 50% brightness | Standby |
Flashing white slowly | Working normally |
Flashing white quickly | Working abnormally (Refer to the "Troubleshooting" section in this manual for solutions) |
- Turn off the main power switch if RoboVac will not be used for a long period of time. To preserve the battery's lifespan, recharge at least once every 6 months.
Store Accessories
Store your frequently-used accessories in the storage compartment of the auto-empty station, such as the filter, side brush, dust bag, and cleaning tools. To prevent any damage or unpleasant smells, things that are damp should not be stored inside the auto-empty station.

Schedule Cleaning
With the eufy Clean app, you can schedule RoboVac to start cleaning at a particular time.

RoboVac automatically returns to the auto-empty station.
Press to start cleaning in Auto-Cleaning mode.
In the eufy Clean app, RoboVac can be set to return to the auto-empty station automatically if the battery level becomes low. Once recharged, RoboVac will resume cleaning.
- By default, RoboVac starts in Auto-Cleaning mode when it is turned on.

Select BoostIQ feature
In the eufy Clean app, select the BoostIQ™ feature according to your needs. RoboVac will automatically increase suction power if it detects that stronger power is needed to ensure the best clean. BoostIQ™ is ideal for cleaning thicker carpets and hard-to-sweep messes, which will reduce the total cleaning time but increase the noise level. If the vacuuming noise caused by BoostIQ™ disturbs you, you can disable this feature.
