ECOVACS - T30S Pro

All I know is the ecovac literally doesn’t work. I had to return mine

I’ve had both the T30 and now I’m on the T50. I sent the T30 back as it kept thinking that the wood grain on my wood floor was an object and kept trying to avoid it. I ended up having to turn off object detection, which defeated the point of me purchasing it. T50 is much better with wood grain floors for me. But, although suction power on the T50 is reported as being higher, the airflow on the T30 seems better to me. In the UK they’ve just released the T30S with even better suction. IMO the T30 has a better brush bar too… If you don’t have wood floors with wood grain finish, I would probably get the T30.

I have t30 pro since last December. Pretty decent. Try buying directly from them, might even get additional discount (i bought through them only)

We have a t30 pro and it does exceptionally well for a house with a dog and 2 cats. Only time it really gets clogged up is when it picks up a chunk of cardboard from the kiddos. They are timed. Or it can be room by room. It'll get emptied everytime it needs the water filled. I've also read if your not using the genuine bags they can play up sometimes as well.

I'm not an expert but I did buy / return many and found one I liked a year or so back. Roborock Qrevo Curve. Was over $1000 when I bought it. Down to $700 now I think. It seldom gets stuck. Can run multiple programs. Mine currently vacuums only the whole house 2x week. Washes/mops only the whole house 1x a week. It mops and vacuum combo the kitchen floor every night after 9p and all the cooking is done. It has been easy to maintain. I fill the water tank once a week, empty the waist water tank at the same time. I get about 3 months out of a vacuum cleaner bag before swapping. It handles high thresholds better than anything I've seen. I have an old house with a 2" threshold in one of the rooms. No issue getting over. Great mapping with good options to limit it from rooms or areas in the room. Dream L40 - Was the first high end mop/vac I owned. It's AI obstacle avoidance was the best I've ever seen. The issue I had was it dropped the mops automatically when running vacuum only. This should be a good thing and was until it somehow lost the ability to pick them up and would fault out. I returned it. Mapping was excellent. It did have pretty good threshold passing but could not get over the 2" threshold. Ecovac T30-AI. I still own this because I had some shit hit the fan at the end of the return window and missed the return window. Worst mapping of any I've mapped with. It missed rooms and had a very hard time crossing thresholds. All the thresholds. Once a map was made, it didn't' update it at all. The others all add rooms or areas if they find them. If I map with a door of a room closed and later open the door, that room will never be entered by the ecovac, the others all just updated their maps. As far as cleaning goes, if the path is flat, no thresholds, it does a pretty good job on the vac+mop setting. But it can only program one setting. So I can not vacuum 5 days a week and mop one of those days. It runs at the time you set, on the mode you left it last. I have a sunken room that the Roborock can't get to. I used to just move the Dream and later the Roborock into that area once a week. Now the Eco lives in that room. Should be a perfect case. But here is it's biggest flaw. If the batter runs dead, it will not charge from the dock. You have to dismantle the robot, pull the battery, charge the batter on an external charger, and then reinstall the battery. This is not practical for 90% of the owners. Most don't have a batter charger for that type of batter. If I wasn't an RC Car guy in my youth, I'd have no idea what to do. I own it. It's been running for over a year and doing an OK job. I would not recommend it to anyone. Various Roomba. I've owned 4 or 5, bought my parents 1 or 2. set them all up. These are very basic machines and over priced for what they do. They are existing on name recognition these days. They don't suck but there are better out there for less money. My parents love theirs.

I own a RoboRock QrevoCurve and a EcoVacs T30AI. The Qrevo RR has been running for nearly a year now with little to no issues. It crosses thresholds well, better than most. It seldom gets stuck and when it does, 70% of the time I can just send it back to base from my phone and it clears itself of the obstical. You can set multiple programs. I have it vac and mop the kitchen every night. Vacuum the house 3 days a week and mop the house 1 day a week. The EcoVac has also been around for about a year, a month longer than the QRevo. It would have been returned after I got the Qrevo but I missed the return window. It has caused me to post on here about dead batteries. If it gets stuck, it will run it's batter dry. When the battery is dead/dead, it will not charge in the dock. I have to take the bot apart, pull the batter and charge it on my RC car charger using a MickyMouse wired rig. This takes 30 min or so, start to finish. I've had to do this 4 or 5 times now. Once because it got stuck on a business card. No joke. Other than that, EcoVac does a good job mopping and vacuuming. It does a poor job mapping and crossing thresholds. I use it in a single room and I still occasionally have dead battery issues. It will only run one setting. You can make multiple schedules but can not change the function. IE I can vacuum M-T-W in the morning and T-F-S-S at night if I want. But I can not program it to Vacuum on Monday and Mop on Tuesday. The function of Mop/Vac, Mop Only or Vac only cannot be programed into the schedule. It runs the schedule on whatever function you have set.

i'm glad you like it. but currently am not a big fan of ecovacs and their sub brands. i had bad experience with one of their models going in and out of repair.

I have a roborock s5 max that works perfectly for almost 5-6 years and I have an ecovacs t30 pro that I’ve had for the past six months or so and it’s now in repair under warranty for the third time. I’m trying to find a new robot with s5 max level of reliability and I don’t how.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I have two robots at home, one that is working flawlessly for the past 5-6 years (Roborock s5 max) and it’s replacement that I bought after reading reviews for a week or so (ecovacs t30 pro). The ecovacs has been a horrible experience, I have it for a little over six months and I just sent it in for repair for the third time. So I’m trying to find another Roborock s5 and not another ecovacs t30

My t30s ai no issue at all after 18mths of use daily /twice daily 1000sq ft engineered hardwood and wools rugs

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.

I honestly want nothing to do with the new models. I have A T30S. I've had it for two years and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Personally, I would stick to the older models That have a decent track record. The new models are too expensive and you can find them for 50% off just 18 months later.

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.
