ECOVACS - T30S Pro

I have an ecovacs t30s pro and is great at avoidance and vacuuming, mopping is decent, I have the eureka j15 pro ultra and is almost to smart at avoidance, I have most ai features turned off and still avoids everything just not as efficient as the ecovacs. I also have the ecovacs n30 pro omni for the basement and for a mid level robots with self empty self cleaning station it is awesome. No cameras or fancy avoidance but does a kick butt job at vacuuming and mopping and still avoids the fake dog crap and toys with no problem. You are going to get great reviews and bad reviews on every model out there. Took me 6 returns to get the ones I have now and only reason I have the eureka j15 pro ultra is they sent me a completely free one because of my negative review but I only updated the review and not change it after their free gift.

Stay away from ecovacs, I have has nothing but problems with their brand. They have sent out 6 different robots of different models and can't get one that works correctly. Stuck with a t30s pro now since they drug their feet about leaving water puddles everywhere and now the return date has passed and I'm stuck with a faulty robot. They told me they redesigned the mopping plates to fix the issue and waited 2 months for them and they are the exact same as the mopping plates that came with it. They offered and sent free dust bags 3 times now and keep sending the wrong bags and argue that they fit even though I sent pictures of the bags being way to big to fit in the slot of the station. Look elsewhere and get something worth the money. Ecovacs is becoming a major headache

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

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.

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.

I have same size apartment setup. I LOVE my Ecovac Debot T30S AI. It vacuums & mops beautifully. I had it scheduled 3x a week for the first 2 weeks, now I have it scheduled twice a week. My floors are spotless & area rug in living room nice & clean. It also does a great job on the gel mat that runs the length of my kitchen work area. BEST robot vac-mop I’ve owned. Many higher end model features. Highly recommend it.
