We were looking for the ideal helper in the household: a robot vacuum cleaner that is not only suitable for different floor types, but can also handle a house with pets walking around. We have currently had this product for a few weeks and we noticed the following:
The suction power of the Tapo RV30 Plus is impressive. Whether it concerns PVC, laminate, tiles or a low-pile rug, this vacuum cleaner has no difficulty in thoroughly cleaning every surface. The visible vacuum marks on the carpet after use were a pleasant surprise, the vacuum cleaner recognizes the carpet and adjusts its suction level accordingly! Although the noise production during normal use is acceptable, emptying the dust container is noticeable due to the loud noise. So don't be alarmed by this. Fortunately, our dog seems to adapt well to the vacuum cleaner.
The accompanying app for the Tapo RV30 Plus is very user-friendly. It guides you through the installation steps and offers useful features such as creating multiple maps (useful for multi-storey homes), setting specific zones and adjusting cleaning intensity. The fact that the maps are adjusted when the environment changes makes this vacuum cleaner a smart device.
The Tapo RV30 Plus follows an efficient cleaning route, first along the edges and then systematically zigzagging through the room. Even with manual movements, the device retains its position. It avoids collisions, crosses low thresholds effortlessly and has a smart 'escape function' when it gets stuck. With each new cleaning, the device tries to optimize efficiency. For an area of 25 square meters it takes about 25 minutes, leaving a battery life of 90%! The overview in the app adds a nice dimension.
Maintenance is generally simple, although not completely effortless. The brush is easy to disassemble for removing long hairs, without the hassle of screws. Which I think is a huge plus! The self-cleaning function adds an extra benefit, but we noted that the vacuum cleaner bags are relatively pricey. I can't say yet how long these will last.
The voice function works properly, but due to the loud volume we chose to disable it.
All in all, the Tapo RV30 Plus Robot Vacuum Cleaner has proven itself as a smart and versatile assistant in our household. With its suction power, convenient app control and cleaning behavior, this vacuum cleaner offers excellent performance and ease of use. Although there are some minor concerns, such as the price of vacuum cleaner bags, maintenance and noise, we consider it a lasting valuable addition to our household.
