Bought an N20 Pro this month. Pretty good in terms of sweeping and vacuuming.The problem with mopping is that it leaves water stains when used without the floor cleaner. The floor cleaner is very expensive.It finds it difficult when asked to specifically mop an area, especially when the robot is far away from the desired location.
I feel you need to get one without a second thought. Even I was in the same dilemma. But still went ahead and got an Ecovas N20 PRO. They are really helpful for dry cleaning. You will feel the difference in the first use itself. But the mopping sucks, maybe once in a week you can mop and robo can maintain that till the next week. I would recommend you to go with RVC which are under 25k. Since you are considering under 30k, usually RVCs higher than 30 to 40K, have a good mopping function.
When purchasing RVC looks for
* High suction power. ( especially the one under 30k)
* minimum of 7 days of dust collection
* Avoid models which require replacement of dust bags. Since this adds up to the maintenance cost
The usual life of RVC is about 3 - 4 years. So spending 20-25k shouldn't be an issue considering the amount of work which you are doing
Ecovacs deebot n20 pro- using it for 1 year, had issue with charger, the support checked the issue online, sent a new charger without any hassle - great service.
The suction power(8000 Pa) is almost twice of xiaomi, eureka forbes etc. Wet and dry cleaning both.
App is glitchy sometimes but can live with it since rest is all great.
Mom is happy with it, minimal maintenance.
Price 25-28k in any sale.
There is a completely automated self cleaning version for around 55k as well.
Mine cleans in one charge easily - 1826 sq. ft. - maybe depends on battery sie - charges automatically and resumes cleaning- sound depends on mode of cleaning- max mode is a bit noisy - otherwise bearable. Only me and my mom live in the house and we both work so it seems like a good solution as you don’t have to worry about maid timings and leaves etc.
Again all depends on the use case but these things are pretty advanced now as compared to models 3-5 years ago.
Depends on the use case I guess, because with Dyson you have to do it manually and spend time, here it frees up your time and you can wrap up other tasks. Also, depends on the area to be cleaned.
The robo vaccum cost is now a breakeven for me after 1 year tbh - approx 2000/month to the maid and 1 year use of the robo vaccum are pretty much the same in my case. So for my case it’s value for money.
I got a n20 pro plus, which is quite similar to this one. It gets the job done. Although for that price range, I can’t expect more. It doesn’t have the latest tech that can avoid stuff lying of the floor. So you have toys or slippers, it may drags it around. But I never saw it stucks on those, so probably not a big issue.
One thing to note is the overhead clearance. Mine can’t go to the under bed because the hanging frabic under the bed touches the head of the robot. So it completely ignored the bed 😅
We had the N8 for three years until it was dropped. Bought a cheaper version for £130 and it’s not where near as good as the Ecovacs this n20 is also on Amazon at £70 cheaper than the Plus version as a basic version and if you’ve never had one before you’ll be very impressed with that in itself. The ‘plus’ still needs something emptied at some point. Go for the basic.

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
