ECOVACS - T30S

Yeah, more expensive ones might be better, but that doesn’t mean we all need to spend so much. I got my ecovacs t30s for around 500 bucks, and I use it to vacuum my rugs and mop the hardwood floors. I just do a few things after using it, like refilling the water tank, changing the dust bag every month or two.

I got an ecovacs t30 and it definitely did a good job on keeping my floor clean, no hair tangle issue so far. Imo auto emptying and auto mop washing is a must, and it's quite enough for daily cleaning routine. But if you have low furniture clearance, then ecovacs t50 pro might be a better alternative.

It’s mostly hardwood in my place, but about 60% of the floor is covered with rugs. I’m using a deebot t30s to handle the cleaning, and I hardly have issues with the dustbin getting stuck. In fact, I haven’t really needed to clean the dustbin inside the robot much; I mostly just change the dust bag at the dock.

Longtime Neato, Roomba, and Braava owner here. Tried smarter bots and found the Ecovacs Deebot T30S disappointing but am very happy with two Dreame X50 Ultra bots, one white and one black. My Roomba 980 and Neato XV Signature Pro are still good for turning loose in areas the new ones can't get to by themselves. Tried a new Roomba Combo to future-proof those areas but it was basically a downgrade. We wore out the little Braava 380t, but I haven't looked for parts because the Dreame bots do a much better job with much less effort from me.

In USA they seem to cover warranties without argument. I don't think much of the features or the quality, but Ecovacs did replace my Deebot T30S when the dock started leaking. The replacement is for sale now because I've moved on to Dreame, but I may try an Ecovacs window bot as they seem to have unique expertise in that area.

Read the reviews. The Dreame X50 has won awards and most of their lineup is highly regarded. I haven't tried the top-of-the-line Ecovacs but I had a midrange T30S and the Dreame X50 Ultra is so vastly superior I bought a second one to replace the Ecovacs.

I had a T30S which is a mid-range model so this is not a 1-to-1 comparison with the top-of-the-line Dreame X50 Ultra. I suspect T50 is also mid-range and that something like the Ecovacs X90 would be a better comparison. Having said that, I'll just say that the T30S drop sensors, optical encoders, climbing, navigation, mapping and app features are inferior to the X50 Ultra's. When the T30S dock sprung a leak, Ecovacs would not engage with me about a replacement part and just replaced the whole package — a leak and a swap being situation normal with any of these Chinese brands — so since I was going to lose the map anyway I decided to replace the replacement with a second Dreame X50 Ultra. Have not regretted it one bit.

I’d get the MOVA P10 pro ultra as MOVA/dreame’s obstacle avoidance is one of the best. It’s also a de facto flagship robot at the same price range as the other two which are mid range robots and will blow them out of the water. The roborock QX Revo only has structured light which isn’t very good for obstacle avoidance anyway. The ecovacs has pretty bad obstacle avoidance too but this is mainly due to a lack of an LED fill light and poor firmware. https://youtu.be/wbkEQ03wZEM When i run everyday to vacuum first then mop, the floors were noticeably cleaner and my wood floors had a sheen to them and felt softer over time. Much more barefoot friendly if you ask me.

Roborock and MOVA / dreame generally have better navigation and mapping than ecovacs. As for less maintenance, the MOVA P10 pro ultra has a self cleaning mop washboard which is the same as the L40 which generally moves most dirt and dust to the drainage area. Not a fan that the bottom isn’t completely removable like roborock so this is a flaw that can be a dealbreaker for you. https://youtu.be/QjUASR3DdIE

I’ve got ecovacs model too, and it is t30s. A robot vacuum really saves me a lot of time with floor cleaning, and this one I’ve been using it for a few months now, no major problem so far.

If mopping is your first priority, I guess you might look into some roller mop models, since those tend to be better at it. But if you are also considering other types, I've been using T30s for quite a while, it's a dual spinning model and I think it works pretty decent. I haven't found any major issues.

My bf got us an ecovacs t30 for our 3-cat household. Not sure how much it cost, but knowing him, I don’t think he’d spend a ton on it lol. It’s been vacuuming solid on both floors and carpets, picking up fur pretty well for about 6 month now.

Our Ecovacs T30s performs well on carpets with a suction power of 11,000Pa. It doesn’t drag the carpet around or avoid it on purpose, and doesn’t bump into walls either.

Last year, I got a Golden Retriever to my home, and I also got an Ecovacs T30 robot vacuum. I set it to run 2-3 times a week to pick up my dog's long hair in my house. After walking the dog, I'll let the robot mop the floor to clean up the paw prints.

What's your budget? I'm using the ecovacs t30s to deal with my pets' messes.

This is why I don't trust Vacuum Wars anymore. There's so much stuff I've experienced with my Ecovacs T30s in a minimal amount of time that should have been picked up in testing. This willful ignorance regarding subbrands and rebrands is the cherry on top. This guy isn't serious about making true reviews.

It's all stuff I can work around but I wouldn't suggest them to my folks, family and friends unless I was directly involved in troubleshooting and analysing some weird behaviors. All in all, I'm decently happy with mine but I know I can bring it back to Costco whenever I want. Without the Costco warranty, I would be hesitant.

Might look at bigger brands like Ecovacs and Roborock, their products usually have a long-term stability and official support. I have an ecovacs t30s for a year, it still works well, but I'd suggest look for a newer model, like the x9 if you want to get one for now.

My girlfriend has long hair, and she sheds a lot after bathing and drying her hair. I got a deebot t30 for our place, and in fact it does well cleaning up that hair. For mopping, since most of your place is tile, it might not be bad to get one. Our place is mostly carpeted, so we don’t use the mopping function much, but it works well when we need it.

I just got my ecovacs T30. It seems to be doing a good job for me in the first few clean runs. I had it vac and mop hardwood kitchen and it worked great. Sometimes I use it just to vacuum the carpet.

I agree. I picked it up during black friday sales, and it's been keeping my little rental house super clean. I usually vacuum first and then mop, I like its suction, it's strong enough to pick up the crazy hair I shed, and I haven't had any issues so far.

I've only used t30s so far, I think it's awesome for vacuuming. The suction power is great, and after vacuuming, I use the mopping function, which works pretty well too. Their customer service is really good too, I asked some questions about the features, and they got back to me super quickly.
