I am very happy with my TP-Link Tapo RV30 plus, it is fully controllable locally via the official app and the Home Assistant integration, have it blocked from the internet. Amazing buy for the 230 euros. Also has basic Matter support now, however the Tp link integration in HA has a lot more available. The mopping feature is click on like most in price range and does a good enough job to get most dust and easy specs off, although don't expect industrial grade mopping. Vacuum is quite strong and has no troubles with mats and small carpets. Next vacuum I would however probably get auto mopping feature (auto clean and attach), although not sure if I find it worth the added price, I mop once or twice a week and daily vacuum. Edit: have it for almost a year now and no critique yet, doesn't do less or worse than my brothers Roborock double the price.
I just bought a Tapo RV30 max plus for $180. Works fine. I had one of the first Roomba's about 10 years ago. It was a POS. Then I bought Roborock about 3-4 years ago for $500; it worked great at the time but this new $180 Tapo works so much better than it ever did. Look these things are getting better and better every year; the $1000 ones today are going to be crap in a couple years. Just buy a cheap one today and you wont feel so bad when the 2029 models are orders of magnitude better.
When my roborock Q5 broke down (after 3+ years of daily cleaning), I searched around and found the Tapo RV30 max plus for only $180 on Amazon. It got some great you tube reviews plus it was recommended by Wirecutter and had got a PC Editors Choice award.. I bought it last week and it works great; well the mopping isnt that good but the vacuuming is better than my old roborock. The only downside is that it takes a long time to recharge so when it docks in mid-cycle its a few hours before it resumes. But anyway for the price I don't think you can beat it.
We have a TP-Link Tapo RV30. This is a vacuum and mop, but the RV30C version is just a vacuum which may suit you. We have a 6yo kid and 3 cats. We paid $399 several months back and it seems to work well still. It has a traditional roller brush and hair tends to get stuck there, so it needs regular cleaning. A few clips on the bin have broken off (part of one of the hinges, and part of the latch that allows opening and closing of the bin) but I can still open and close it easily enough. There is a version with an auto empty dock, but we didn't get that. For a 3 bed home it regularly has a full bin after one cleaning session. We had a Roborock S7 with auto empty bin before this which was considerably more expensive but didn't last more than 3 years. In the last year, it easily got confused, and eventually was losing power from the motors.
I like the Tapo rv30 max plus. It’s my first one and so far very good
Just picked up the RV30 Plus today and I’m very impressed so far. If it was gonna get stuck our house (as it was) would’ve seen it stranded easily, but it coped very well and we’re in the process of changing our habits to allow the robot to just work without us having to tidy up first (2 young children with lots of toys everywhere). It’s a great machine, very impressed with how easy it was to set up and the mopping function works great. Our first foray into Robovacs but I am extremely happy with it.
Unfortunately I’ve been away for the last 3 weeks - but up until I left it was definitely still a recommendation.
I’ve had this for several months now and overall I’m still impressed. I don’t have pets but I do have long hair which is starting to become an issue for the main brush, twice in the last two months he’s stopped during a clean and I’ve had to cut the hair off the brush. According to the app it is 82.9% used and it gives me an estimate of how many hours until I need to change it so I’ll probably do that and see if there’s an improvement. Otherwise I’ve not used my big hoover for anything other than specific things like hoovering out carpet spills and edges. I originally anticipated that I’d have to probably do a vacuum every now and then and let the robot maintain but it surprised me how well he is able to keep on top of the place without that. I do live alone though so it’s never too bad.
Confirmed. Mine runs every night and it’s amazing.
I bought Tapo rv30 max plus a few weeks ago for £196. I think it's ok for the money saves me a lot of time. My downstairs floor is wooden and upstairs is carpeted, I am quite happy with the purchase and it's only £179 right now. It has mopping but I haven't used it.
So far they haven’t been bifl because I keep upgrading. From basic no frills -> one with mop -> one with mop and self-empty. Still haven’t leveled up to the ones with the water refill. That said, I’m liking my Tapo self-emptying one (RV30 max plus)
I went from ecovacs n8 to tapo rv30 max plus...omg., world's apart. The tapo has 2x suction and about the same loudness as the ecovacs..to me it's quieter. Self emptying.. house hasn't distorted after 12hours and 680m^2 . Cleans well. Object avoidance is good for permanent furniture. For objects left, it gives it a bump and goes around it not a hard bump..I'm.ok with that
