I bought the Tapo Rv10 about 10 months ago due to it's affordability. I now strongly believe it was a waste of money and you are better of investing a bit more for a better robot. The lack a proper sensor means this blind robot will keep cleaning the same circle in repeat and ignore rest of your floor space. Additionally, it has no sense of direction. To elaborate, even after my Rv10 bumps into a wall, it proceeds to do a 360 u-turn and keeps driving repeatedly into the wall. It probably assumes it is covering distance while it is stuck in one spot. I have come home to my furnitures being reorganized because it uses all it's might to move things around even after it detects an obstacle by repeatedly driving into the said obstacle. I highly recommend anyone planning on buying a budget vacuum robot to put in some extra money and get something slightly better. I just don't want others to suffer the same annoyance I face daily. Can it clean? Yes. Does it get stuck every day? Yes. Does it send "I'm stuck on a cliff" alarm after forcing itself under chairs and topling them over? Yes. Did it scratch my door by driving into it on repeat? Yes. Save yourself the hassle.
r/RobotVacuums • Do not buy Tapo RV10 (experience review) ->Not at the moment, I'll probably suffer for another few months until becomes unbearable haha. Might stick to Tapo because I use a lot of TpLink devices already but depends on the product features and marker review. Also seen Xiaomi ones to be performing well.
r/RobotVacuums • Do not buy Tapo RV10 (experience review) ->Yes, removed all the plastic films on day 1. I clean the bot at least once a week which is enough since my flat is really small. As per the specification, it should only have an Infrared sensor. Doubt much can be done with that alone.
