TP-Link - RV20 Max Plus

Tapo is a home appliances brand under TP Link.

Better to go with Roborock even though both Tapo RV and Roborock Q7 M5 are made by ODM, but Roborock support and consumables are easier to find.

i was in your shoes last year. read reviews online, watch youtube videos and in the end was overwhelmed with information and ended up clueless. Decided to focus on the features that were important to me: 1. Price below $400 2. Decent vacuum power, at least 2500 PA. Don't intend to use the mop function 3. Proprietary app instead of 3rd party app 4. Docking station with dust bag 5. LIDAR navigation Bought the Tapo Rv20 mop plus in the end. It was on sale and i got it for $215. Being using it for 6 months and i have no complains

I have the tapo rv20 mop plus. A slimmer less powerful [2700] model. I only use it for the vacuum function and it does its job. Had it for 10 months but had to RMA once as the side sweeper motor was making weird sounds. App wise has been stable but I had to remap the house once on the 5 month as the robot couldn't locate the docking station. Comes with 18 mths warranty and paid usd 150.

I have the Tapo RV20 Mop plus. It's the previous model to the RV20 Max Plus. Had it for 1 year. I only use it for the vacuum function daily. No complains on the RV20. It functions as intended. I deep clean the robot every 2 weeks and replace the dust bag every 5 months. It has enough battery, even now, to vacuum my home, which is about 90 sqm. Only two issues that happened during the 1 year of ownership. Had to RMA the robot as one of the side brush motor was making strange noises. The other was that the map tends to glitch every 4-5 months and you will need to remap your home again

I went from a Roomba J7 to a Tapo Max Plus something just due to the auto-empty dock and despite being a cheaper buy that made the difference for me. The Tapo definitely has worse object detection but I’m still happy with it overall. Low maintenance auto vacuuming for less than $300 is a pretty good deal imo.

We have the Tapo max pro. I think we just paid $329 (?) at Bunnings not too long ago but it was a sale. We had a stick and regular in between our last robot (4yrs ago) and now. I absolutely love it. We have 2 kids and 2 dogs. The kids (6 &4) have to clean up before we run it so it really helps everything from becoming covered in kid toys. It also maps your house so you can select which rooms. We do our kitchen and 2 lounge areas daily and the bedrooms every 2/3 days. We don’t have carpet, just a few throw rugs so I can’t speak to the carpet part. But we love it so far!
