TP-Link - RV30 Plus

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.

Confirmed. Mine runs every night and it’s amazing.

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

Tapo RV30 Max Plus is one of the better rated budget vacs. Matter works fine in HomeKit. Only whole house cleaning so far. I think Matter 1.4 supports room-by-room? Apple supports 1.2(?) for vacs.

I got the Wyze upon release & it's vacuumed 500,00 sq feet or something like that and has done it flawlessly with nothing more from me than changing the filter & brushes & some cleaning. That said I recently retired it from the main floor to a smaller area & updated my main vac to a tapo. I got a pre release coupon & ordered it. It has a lot of upgraded features like self emptying, a mop function, greater suction & other things. So far it hasn't been disappointing and for only $50 bucks more it was a no brainier. The self empty function is worth that.

I had one from Tapo that has Matter support but I let it go because it does not let me use it just with Matter. It requires constant internet connection with their own server to enable Matter, which was annoying. I don't really mind using limited features. Can Roborock or Dreame be connected directly to HK, GH, or ST and used without their apps?
