And even in Max mode it doesnt drain too much of its ample three-hour battery life.
Mopping, however, is a lot more basic.
Where it really shines is how much control the companion app provides.
So you will still need a decent amount of floor space to store the whole machine.
While its listed on Tapos US website, the RV30 Plus isnt available to buy just yet in America.
Replacement bags will cost 17.99 / AU$49 for a pack of three.
If it wasnt for theTapobranding on the top of the lidar dome, it could be any robot vacuum.
What is surprising is how much wider the vacuum itself is compared to its auto-empty docking station.
Also on the underside is the 2-in-1 dustbin and water tank.
It took about seven tries for my review sample of the RV30 Plus to pair up with the app.
This is likely an isolated case and I wouldnt worry too much about it.
Future updates can be set to automatically install overnight.
The next step in the app is to get your home mapped.
You just start it and the RV30 creates an accurate map of your home remarkably quickly.
you could always set up a spot clean for the no-mop zones.
I really like the Tapo app everything is laid out neatly and it works very well.
TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus review: Performance
Ive already mentioned how well the RV30 can vacuum.
As excellent as the vacuuming is, the mopping functionality isnt anything to write home about.
This, however, isnt washable, but its so light that its easy to ignore.
What does need maintenance is the bar brush as hair can get tangled around it very easily.
The HEPA filter inside will also need dusting out regularly note that it isnt washable.
Leaving the mop plate on overnight can make the wet pad start to smell.
Should I buy the TP-Link Tap RV30 Plus?
Keep an eye on its price during sales to increase its value.
Youll only need to swap out the dust bag once every couple of months, if not longer.
you’re free to even carry it to another floor if necessary and start it again.
Also consider
Not sold on the prowess of the Tapo RV30 Plus?
Below are a couple of alternatives that it’s possible for you to consider.
However, it wont refill its mop water like the Roborock listed above, and its quite expensive.
I also had some dusty footprints in the living room.
I washed the mop cloth in the washing machine to see if it held up.
