TP-Link - Tapo RV30 Max Plus

Skip the Braava. It’s just a mop, no suction, so litter/fur stays. The Tapo RV30 Max Plus is a solid pick for the price: suction + mopping, decent mapping, and auto-empty. For $250–300, it’s one of the best all-in-ones imo 👌

Go with the Tapo RV30 Max Plus. Vac + mop, smart mapping, and handles fur/litter way better for the price.

We went to TP link rv30 max plus robots after both of our roborocks stopped mopping. They can connect to home assistant using matter. It's not ideal but it's enough for now. S5 MAX doesn't pass water through anymore and vacuum mop doesn't recognise mopping platform.

i ended up ordering a tp-link tapo rv30 max plus [https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tapo-rv30-max-plus/](https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tapo-rv30-max-plus/) it doesnt have cams, only lidar, so for privacy there is that. it still requires an account to be logged in, and also internet access to their cloud. thats the only downside for that. but i havent heard any security issue yet for it, and it doesnt have cams. so i opted for this. has a very basic mop, but i'm mostly using it for vacuum so is ok. paid only $138 usd for it brand new (using discounted vouchers). the bag needs replacing but those r cheap and seem to last between 2months to a whole year based on reviews. have to manually clean the mop pad, hepa filter mostly and some minor maintenance every now and then, but thats acceptable for me. obstacle avoidance seems poor (probably due to lack of cameras). So it ends up playing bumper cars mode, but the reviews say it still works despite that quirk. But u most definitely want to clear your floors of any tiny obstacles before letting the vacuum robot do its thing. if ever a security issue arose, i can simple shut it down and not use. i didn't pay particularly much for it. so this was my first entry into robot vacuums. maybe in future the security issue will be improved and not required internet/cloud to operate; and better mopping, obstacle avoidance, AI, all become more affordable to the masses. so this rv30 max plus will get me by till then.

I just picked up a TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max Plus and I'm really happy with it so far. It was only $209 on sale when I got it and has all the same features of more expensive vacuums. It has a Home Assistant integration from TP-Link that works even after you block the robot from the internet.

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?
