i found this side by side comparison

https://www.rtings.com/robot-vacuum/tools/c...pro/46161/60895

*update

wow... i just noticed both those 2 models dont even have a hepa filter. My cheap tapo rv30 max plus does. all it is, is just a hepa block filter where vacuum is. so that fine particulars dont free float. i'm assuming it only blocks it when exhausting to the dock dust bag, not fully sure. bottomline it has one.

so not sure why these more expensive robots dont have it. could it because the older robots did not have this feature back then? seems like the robot vaccum is moving at a quick pace. Wait long enough and the competition get left in the dust laugh.gif (hopefully cheaper too)

ok i been using Dreame top of the line robot since Dec 2023. Bought it during 12.12 the best period to buy this robot because that time they gave me accessories and additional 1 year warranty on top of the official 2 years. Total damage 3.8k and the model is L20 ultra.

Been using it non stop 2x mop+sapu everyday since day 1. Now my final schedule is sapu+mop 1 cycle morning. Then night sapu once and mop twice. I need to seperate the mopping because the battery cannot last for the whole dinner schedule, end up have to work half way then recharge and continue again which is already 11pm very noisy. Now my robot quietly mop at night.
Once my robot was out of commission for 3 weeks due to my own fault.

My thoughts.
- House significantly cleaner. It's nice having clean shiny floor all the time. I run mine without detergent also can have smooth shiny floor.
- accessories very cheap, buy in bulk from China.
- honestly think the model L10 also can work the same. You dont need kuat vacuum power, the most important part is the battery so u can just set it to do 2x/3x cycle. The manufacturer smart enough to route it so it do criss cross pattern on each subsequent cycle. I also never use the hot water function.
- Few things u really need to take care for smooth operation. Arrange furniture away especially chairs around dining table, so it can clean up nicely. Quite a lot of time my robot stuck between legs of chair. And it will still jam if u got lego size toys, or paper on floor or nerf gun bullet. I dont have pet, but i guarantee u it will ais kacang the pet shit into the roller and spread it everywhere while it "clean". You have been warned.
- Also most annoying is the robot will run out of battery even though it's idle after stuck. Need to carry it and park it back to the station.
- the water tank is not big. My routine requires me to top up every alternate day. Or it wont run because "insufficient water". Best if u can top up $$$ do the auto top up installation. cost about 1k last i check, you cannot DIY this cos they include some sensor for the auto top up thing and the wall drilling. I checked.

So far i am very happy with it. No parts broken yet. Battery still okay after 18 months.

my L20 ultra no hot water function. lol.

I have another robot bought 2024 12.12 x30ultra model for top room. But i dont use it cos parquet flooring. New model macam downgrade cos smaller water tank. Function all seems no difference to me, tbh i didn't really look into it.

Both model works the same. Same kind of stuck, functioning as intended.

Maybe some days when i got the mood i swap both unit and test run.

Honestly think L10s model 2k+ work good enough compared to those expensive 4k punya. That time both models also second top, the highest one retail for 5k price tag. crazy.

do u use default to make it that pattern in blue section? or is that a custom setting to make it like that?

My tapo robot clean pattern is more like ur yellow room, it's very similar.

It's the blue one only if i set 2x cycle

They actually have the 3x cycle settings but i never try. Main issue i have is the battery. Not enough to cover whole routine for single charge.

I noticed that. Even this rv30 max plus on release was 1k something. Now is cheaper.

This is exactly why I wouldn't rush to buy even if it's amazing, not until the price starts to make sense or fall into my spending budget

9k 15k, wtf 😭
Anyway I c we both have the same plan 😊

3k for qrevo? Im not familiar with this model. I will YouTube it later.



hmm.gif
Not long ago lowyat posted some robot vacuum stores opening mid valley or somewhere? And they had promo prices then. I wasnt in market to buy back then 🥲
https://www.lowyat.net/2025/340716/roborock...ramid-starling/
😬 Just only priced at... Marketing speak as if ur getting it at a good deal price 😅
*update

ooo qrevo master priced at RM2,679 (probably lesser with discount voucher if u got shopee vip vouchers or something maybe)
saw the vacuum wars review for the qrevo master, seems to have all the bells and whistles i need, so then, what exactly does the Saros 10R have over it to justify such a huge price increase? the newer obstacle avoidance system? but according to the reviews, seems like the qrevo master is doing great as is, so....

https://global.roborock.com/pages/robot-vac...cleaner-compare

https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/..._qrevo_masters/
guess i'm not the only one who thought so  hmm.gif
@malz89

how is the qrevo master detangle for the roller? does it actually work? or do u have to manually remove the hair from roller each time to clean it?

Also because it marketed the mop pads as highly automated for clean and swap, is it totally hands of for maintenance? or do u still have to manually maintain the mop or not? this is what i'm curious about  hmm.gif
*update
the differences are

- Auto Detergent Dispenser
-  FlexiArm Riser Side Brush
-  High-speed Sonic Mopping
https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/...tating_mopping/
-  Automatic Mop Detaching
-  3D ToF Navigation ( the master uses  LDS Laser Navigation. Seems the 10R replaced that for this 3D Tof Nav)

master has bigger water tank and covers more square feet, yet the 10r has a bigger battery.
the auto detergent dispender sounds interesting. any good? and seems the saros 10r is their first model to have this feature
https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/...e_doubts_about/
But the qrevo master supports detergent, but u got to add manually
https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/...g_qrevo_master/
wow... avoid curtain, so how? not too big a deal for me. the tapo i have brushes slightly against the curtain, but then it stays away, so no issue for it. so i'm assuming the saros 10r works similar, or does it keep a further distance? no idea.
qrevo master ranked 19 on vacuumwars, behind the edge, curve, slim, no idea y.


here they say to pass on master and go pro instead  hmm.gif

By comparison the Saros 10R scored rank 3. But its vastly more expensive  sweat.gif
https://vacuumwars.com/vacuum-wars-best-robot-vacuums/#19
unless you want really need the detergent auto dispenser, doubt i would go for the saros 10r for that price, when the qrevo master does a bang job as is with very few caveats (according to the reviews) for much cheaper. it doesnt do the mop swap, but at least it cleans it. master seems the better value buy in the 2-3k range unless somebody has a different reco?

roborock even has 2 new physical stores in malaysia which doubles up as repair center, so if anything goes wrong, u know where to go.
summary

- u want a cheap usable robot just for vacuum but ok with mediocre mopping, and don't mind less automation, then Tapo rv30 max plus (500-700 price range). But is it the cheapest? no, because i saw different brand models like the MOVA Robot Vacuum E10 selling for RM474 but it has no dock for unloading trash into a bag. Not everyone wants a bag so may or may not be a big deal to you.

- u can spend for mid-range, something good for mopping,more automation, and better obstacle avoidance, then qrevo master (2-3k price range). maybe there is another similarly like it but cheaper, but what that is, i dont know

- money is no object, you want the best even if the gains might not be best bang for bucks necessarily but is an improvement nevertheless, then Saros 10R it is ( 5 -6k price range  shocking.gif  ). In vacuumwars they mention other top performers like the Ecovacs X9 Pro Omni, Dreame X50 Ultra among others. so i'm not necessarily saying Saros 10R is the #1, just that based on the review i saw seems to do pretty much everything for the high end segment. Maybe the competition does it better for cheaper for their high end model. u have to dyor.
If u have a different opinion for this, feel free to share, i would like to know also
*update

sorry, the qrevo master is rm4349 lazada. so u can ignore 2-3k cause that is wrong.

https://my.priceme.com/Roborock-Qrevo-Maste...-928416459.aspx
RM2,679 is for the qrevo PRO. which is what the youtuber recommended over the master. requires further investigation. doesnt matter if something is good, if the price is not right to make it a good buy  sweat.gif
*
I still have to do some manually at times to remove the hair lodged between the rollers. But maybe once a month? The good thing about master is that it is easy to clean, not much hassle hence I chose it over S8 back then.

Yes, u don't need the top end robots because they obsolete very fast. But if can afford why not right? Haha ..

Seems like dreame has more options compared to roborock. But why does your battery deplete so fast? Usually cleaning my whole house, which is about 850sqft I'll be left with 80% battery.

if ur house so big why not get 2 robot vacuum? then u can split the clean area. this solves the issue of having to wait hours for the robot vacuum to recharge before it resumes cleaning.

the main issue i noticed, if ur robot battery size too small and uses power too fast, it may then want to go to dock to charge backup before resuming again. that's not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on your robot, charging may be fast or slow. mine charges very slow, so that is a big problem. If my job is done for the day since it completed the full clean in one go on a single battery charge, then it doesnt matter if it charges for the rest of the day since it wont be in use either way. the problem is if job is incomplete and it needs to resume on same day, then u have to wait on how fast it can recharge. on budget robots they dont recharge fast sad.gif

but since my clean area is much smaller, i can do 1 maybe 2 full clean runs without worry of having to go back charge before resume.

there is also a do not disturb mode, so during wee hours i dont think the robot will operate so it will go back dock to charge, then when time expire, it will resume the cleaning operation. i havent managed to test if it really resumes after disturb mode period ends or not.

point is, for smaller home this rv30 max plus battery is a non issue for a full house clean. but bigger home it might be, because to wait for full recharge takes a couple of hours, which is pretty damn long. at that point you may want to consider splitting clean area between 2 vacuum robots instead of just 1 hmm.gif


malz not sure why his is draining so fast. but maybe its the settings. by default all the vacuum is set to lowest (probably they can look good in how long the vacuum can operate for. but as soon as u set to max vacuum, that number will dwindle. so as example, if the spec say the robot can operate for 2 hours on the battery, that may be true UNLESS u change the vacuum to max then it will be less). Also he is doing 2 passes so that's gonna take longer to do, so he has to use the battery for longer. maybe thats why his battery is almost exhausted (or even had to dock back to recharge which seems to be the case)

u said u got it for 3k? for that price ok lah. but then when i checked, it was 4k+ shocking.gif

if can afford its definitely good, me? i'll wait longer for the price slashes. Some reviews i saw, they were noting how some models quickly got outdated after only 3 months or so. That's how fast these robots development is. So since i already got a robot to cope with, i can wait it out for some good deals, no rush laugh.gif


side note: was wondering about the robot vacuum electricity bill, seems neglible
https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comme..._cleaners_mops/

will see when they bill comes sweat.gif my schedule is set to daily vacuum, and mop once a week. will report back the bill next month i guess

also i noticed when my robot finished cleaning area then moving to the next, it will turn off the vacuum to save power, while traversing through areas its already cleaned, to get to the next room to start vacuuming again. it's very efficient wub.gif

seems eufy has a new model

eufy RVC Omni E25
https://www.lowyat.net/2025/355412/eufy-rvc...tine-smart-way/







QUOTE
I’m deliberately comparing the E25 to the X10 Pro Omni, since I see the E25 as its natural successor. Especially now that Eufy has clarified its product lines: With the S-series for high-end models, the E-series for mid-range, and the C-series as entry-level

It’s clear that the E25 is positioned as the next step after the X10 Pro Omni in their lineup.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comme...e_new_eufy_e25/




can self clean and dry the mop at the dock, supports cleaning fluid which u refill at the dock, has a roller mop design that seems effective and designed in a way as it's mopping it will also clean the mop so less likely to leave any smears on floor when mopping, dock has a dust bag, and the water is separated between dirty waste water and clean water. It also has 2 side brushes. The vacuum roller is a dual roller as well with detangling feature (is the detangle effective? no idea), has mop lifting. if not mistaken those side brushes can extend and also retract to reach corners better. And it says it has AI for obstacle avoidance (most of the new robots have AI now. is it effective? no idea)

for privacy they say. is it good? no idea, but they got the certification for it and addressed this question unlike ecovacs that remained quite when they were questioned about their security issues doh.gif
https://www.kaspersky.com.au/blog/ecovacs-r...real-life/34514

more review about eufy privacy/data collection policy (note: this video is in reference to their doorbell cams, not robot vacuums. but is useful to see how they treat data collection if any regardless)



QUOTE
Omni E25 has successfully passed the ETSI EN 303 645 Cybersecurity Certification, which ensures compliance with fundamental security requirements for IoT devices, including data protection and user privacy measures.


did i mention it has 20k pa? wow... seems like lots of robots getting outdated now at a lower price point laugh.gif

Example, Roborock Qrevo Slim Robot Vacuum 11000Pa selling for RM3,759.00, and the Roborock Saros 10 Robot Vacuum 22,000Pa selling for RM5,844. Way more than the Eufy E25 20,000Pa selling price of Rm 2999


what cleaning liquid solution does it use?
https://www.reddit.com/r/eufy/comments/1kqf...ning_solutions/

wow 2 bottles for eufy solution cost $24.99 usd. i didnt even see it listed on shopee only on their eufy website. the bottles are so small so when mopping often, u r gonna be replacing these real fast ohmy.gif eufy's own solution already is diluted to be compatible with their robots, so can't u use ur own floor cleaner solution and just dilute it yourself? i have yet to see anyone comment on their solution to this. otherwise you'll just end up using water only

https://www.eufy.com/products/t29C3121?flyi...=42570698686650

QUOTE
You can use it without the cleaning solution cartridge (my review unit did not include one), but if you want to use cleaning solution with it, eufy's bottles last a long time, as it uses a very small amount per cleaning.

The E25's base station is substantially quieter than the E28 during self-emptying/mop washing.  The E28's self-washing cycle is loud, but the noise level is acceptable on the E25.  The extra noise doesn't last long of course (about a minute), and hasn't been a problem in my home, but worth noting if it's going to be set up in an area where that wash cycle noise could disturb users. One perk of both robots is that they're quiet while vacuuming/mopping.

Keep in mind the robot flushes the tank and mopping system after each use, so it still stays pretty hands-off. However after many uses, or really bad cleaning jobs, I would remove and rinse the tank out. None of these mopping robots are truly maintenance-free, and it's all easy to get to and clean as needed on the E25/E28. Hope this helps!
they claim it last a long time but i donno. personally i would prefer a diy solution using cheap widely available multi purpose cleaner for tiles and just dilute it with water to be safe enough for use the robot water container. not much info on this other than just use eufy's proprietary solution that cost a lot

the spare parts also for sale on shopee, so its there if u need it but the prices are between like 60-100 so not particularly cheap. the dust bag and roller got china seller, price seems much better for those unofficial sources. not many shops yet, but can always check aliexpress i guess?

The World's First Hydro Jet Robot Vacuum with 20,000 Pa Turbo Suction


basically seems it has most of what you need, and for only RM2,899 on shopee. not sure how much after use vouchers (maybe rm120-150 discount max?). if i am not mistaken, this 3k is an early bird promo price until up to 16th June 2025? at least on their facebook thats what they said
https://www.facebook.com/ankerinnovations.my



seems cheaper than the roborock qrevo master at least hmm.gif but i dont think that lidar is retractable? but the thin profile internal mapping and retractable lidar roborock has for their high end models but those go for 4-5k price range sweat.gif

more discussions on the e25
https://www.reddit.com/r/eufy/comments/1kaj...ad_of_updating/


e25 vs e28
QUOTE
The main difference between the two is the spot cleaner. If you need that, then go for E28. The E25 is just $100 cheaper than E28. And right now, most decent-quality spot cleaners cost more than $100.
QUOTE
Omni E28 includes an industry-first detachable handheld spot cleaner built into its automated base station.


https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comme...get_wait_it_or/

https://vacuumwars.com/eufy-announces-new-r...-cleaner-combo/



so if your budget is rm3k, could this Eufy E25 be the one? hmm.gif


one problem though, does malaysia have a repair center for Eufy? that's what i'm wondering. I know Roborock, ecovacs, dreame, tapo also have service centers locally. As for spare parts? like dust bags, and the parts if need to replace? further research needed. I only investigated for my own robot so far, before i bought (all bases covered so not worried about those things) laugh.gif


i see in the shopee review

Really good upgrade from a tapo Rv30 max plus.



but i already bought the same Tapo robot mentioned, so i'm fine as is. but if i wanted to extend my budget up to 3k and wanted better mopping and more hands off maintenance (its not zero maintenance, just less, and easier to cope with), yeah it does seem much better on paper. and the reviewers who had experienced with the tapo i have are also saying this. but that seems to be promo price, probably less attractive once the regular price sets in sad.gif maybe in 5 years something like this probably be 1-2k range hopefully wub.gif



tldr:


pros
- eufy e25 on paper seems to have enough features for most people to satisfy
- 3k for promo early bird for midrange robot that does most of what u need for robot vacuum sounds reasonable for this type of features for robot as of 2025 when compared against the competition afaik. if u find anything similar for under 2k, let me know
- mopping and vaccum seem to be good on paper. havent yet heard anyone say its terrible, so must be doing a good job at cleaning
- they upped the game by adding 20,000 Pa for vaccum, when most other older robots still marketing 10,000 Pa or less. is this increase Pa effective or make a huge difference compared to the older robots? no idea (check the reviews)
- dust bags, side brushes and mop replacement have a china seller on shopee. i recommend u check aliexpress to see if its there as well and for cheaper first. if u go through official eufy store for these things, expect to pay more sweat.gif (example, china seller has mop with side brushes for rm50 total for both, but the eufy store want to charge 89 + 99 lel)
i like that it has 2 side brush spinners instead of the typical 1. and these are extending side brushes to reach corners better.
- obstacle avoidance seems effective (refer to the first youtube video). if you leave big stuff on floor like shoes or whatever the robot will avoid them quite well.
- roller de-tangler that seems to actually work (refer to the first youtube video)
- easy maintenance and sufficient enough automation (refer to the first youtube video)

cons
- proprietary floor cleaning liquid solution pricey. also didnt find local availability yet. where to get? any diy solutions to self dilute would that work?
- spare parts expensive. ur not going to need them for a long while but when u do if something breaks, then u'll need to buy the replacement part ya? so check prices if u r wondering
- no local service repair center? at least i couldnt find it listed


*update

noticed the Roborock Qrevo Pro normal price RM2,679.00 is going for a sale discounted price of RM1,924.00 from 8PM, 14 JUNE


so the Roborock Qrevo Pro vs the Eufy E25 during the sale period is about rm1k cheaper, just thought i should mention that.

roborock cleaner solution for 200ml is rm 34. for the 1liter is rm 99







*update

saw a eufy e25 listed for MYR1,725.18 on aliexpress. i believe it to be a scam, it's too good to be true. something is dodgy here. china seller


for spare parts like bag, rollers, side brush etc i saw aliexpress "Rise Vacuum Cleaners Parts Store" sell at a good price. so 1 less issue to worry about. official store too expensive. didnt see hepa filter etc, for those u can use official store, but u rarely going to replace those too often, by then maybe aliexpress has those in stock, since the e25 is a rather new model.


*update

alternate to the eufy e25, on vacuumwars they mentioned mova p10 ultra. but when i checked shopee, only mova p20 ultra was listed. someone from singapore also had a similar question
https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comme..._and_e30_ultra/


on shopee the mova p20 is RM2,775, whereas eufy e25 RM2,899 (there is a voucher for rm100 discount not yet tallied into the listed price) so they are competing directly at a very similar price point

weirdly i could not find any reviews or mentions of the p20 vs p10. recap mova p10 got praised to the sky by vacuum wars for bringing more features for less price than the competition for 2025, so thats what the hype is about for that p10 model. so why is p10 missing and only p20 on shopee? that i have no clue




only thing i could find is the mova website (presumably is the official site i'm guessing) which lists the features and specs for it
https://www.mova.com.my


on mova's about page, seems they started in 2024. so no wonder they r introducing this many features close to under rm3k (at least on shopee) for the Mova P20 Ultra model. give it a few more years and i'm sure the other brands will have to compete on feature/price since at least 2 other brands are bringing in the heat.

What thresholds can MOVA robots handle?

All current S- and P-series models climb up to 20 mm (about .86″), which covers most transitions from hard floor to carpet. Upcoming V-series robots are rated for 60 mm (about 2.4″) thanks to its lifting legs.




*update

for 2-3k range there is the Dreame D20 Ultra selling @ rm2,079, it has a lot of features similar to the Eufy E25 but for less by almost rm1k. I did not see any proper review for the D20 Ultra, but seems to be a SEA region product. i would be very reluctant to buy something without a review, so dyor.

if ur house so big why not get 2 robot vacuum? then u can split the clean area. this solves the issue of having to wait hours for the robot vacuum to recharge before it resumes cleaning.

the main issue i noticed, if ur robot battery size too small and uses power too fast, it may then want to go to dock to charge backup before resuming again.  that's not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on your robot, charging may be fast or slow. mine charges very slow, so that is a big problem. If my job is done for the day since it completed the full clean in one go on a single battery charge, then it doesnt matter if it charges for the rest of the day since it wont be in use either way. the problem is if job is incomplete and it needs to resume on same day, then u have to wait on how fast it can recharge. on budget robots they dont recharge fast  sad.gif

but since my clean area is much smaller, i can do 1 maybe 2 full clean runs without worry of having to go back charge before resume.

there is also a do not disturb mode, so during wee hours i dont think the robot will operate so it will go back dock to charge, then when time expire, it will resume the cleaning operation. i havent managed to test if it really resumes after disturb mode period ends or not.

point is, for smaller home this rv30 max plus battery is a non issue for a full house clean. but bigger home it might be, because to wait for full recharge takes a couple of hours, which is pretty damn long. at that point you may want to consider splitting clean area between 2 vacuum robots instead of just 1  hmm.gif
malz not sure why his is draining so fast. but maybe its the settings. by default all the vacuum is set to lowest (probably they can look good in how long the vacuum can operate for. but as soon as u set to max vacuum, that number will dwindle. so as example, if the spec say the robot can operate for 2 hours on the battery, that may be true UNLESS u change the vacuum to max then it will be less). Also he is doing 2 passes so that's gonna take longer to do, so he has to use the battery for longer. maybe thats why his battery is almost exhausted (or even had to dock back to recharge which seems to be the case)
u said u got it for 3k? for that price ok lah. but then when i checked, it was 4k+  shocking.gif

if can afford its definitely good, me? i'll wait longer for the price slashes. Some reviews i saw, they were noting how some models quickly got outdated after only 3 months or so. That's how fast these robots development is. So since i already got a robot to cope with, i can wait it out for some good deals, no rush  laugh.gif
side note: was wondering about the robot vacuum electricity bill, seems neglible
https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comme..._cleaners_mops/

will see when they bill comes  sweat.gif my schedule is set to daily vacuum, and mop once a week. will report back the bill next month i guess

also i noticed when my robot finished cleaning area then moving to the next, it will turn off the vacuum to save power, while traversing through areas its already cleaned, to get to the next room to start vacuuming again. it's very efficient  wub.gif
*
I got it when it was on promo with shoppee vouchers all stacked lol. I don't see much difference with the robot. I only charge it 6hrs a day coz to clean the whole house it would be left with at least 70% battery. Basically only consumes 30% of my battery.

By the way i asked tplink tapo regarding this article touching on ecovacs security concerns
https://www.kaspersky.com.au/blog/ecovacs-r...real-life/34514

and this was their response if anyone is interested



QUOTE
Our teams always take the security of our devices seriously and make every effort to protect our users. You can find specifics regarding the security of our devices in this

FAQ: How Secure Are Tapo Devices?
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4336/

Local Communication - Tapo vacuums can work entirely offline and be used without a cloud connection, where your phone would communicate directly with the vacuum over your local network.

You can also use the device's Matter setup, which lets you control the device directly from another device, hub, or server on your home network that's compatible with the Protocol. Just know that when using the vacuum without a connection to the cloud, you will be unable to use Smart Actions, connect to third-party services, or receive firmware updates.


Just to help address some of the concerns about the Ecovacs article:

    The Tapo RV30 Max Plus has no camera, making any real-time video streaming impossible

    The Bluetooth connection for Tapo Vacuums is only active during device setup; afterwards, they will only use their Wi-Fi Connection.

We also always recommend taking every precaution to protect your network, such as using a secure network with a strong password or enabling 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) for your Tapo Account.
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4336/


QUOTE

There is no direct toggle in the Tapo App for Local-Only communication. I believe that you have two different options for local vacuum use.

QUOTE
1. via Matter—Grab the Matter Code for the Initial Matter Setup in the Tapo App (since there is no Physical Code with the RV30Max). Then, reset the vacuum to factory defaults and add the Vacuum directly to another Matter-compatible controller. If you are only using the device's Matter connection, the device shouldn't be able to communicate with the cloud, but you may lose a great deal of control depending on the destination platform.

2. Set the Vacuum up as normal and then block its access to the Internet on your network, or go through the process of setting up a private VLAN that has its access blocked.


If you do choose to continue using the Tapo App for local communication, there will be a small tag on the Robot Vacuum's main settings page that indicates that your vacuum is currently 'Local Only.'
basically they say something like the tapo rv30 max plus can work offline. but how to set it offline? do i have to toss it into a vlan segment for iot that specifically does not have internet access? or is there a toggle in app to make it operate in an offline manner? that is the part i'm unclear on. But it seems that if u do opt for the vlan segmenting option it would work at the very least.

also in the tapo app for the automation for geo related example, if ur smartphone moves away from the home location, tapo will ask for geo location access. there are a few options, like giving advanced geo location positioning or not. So you have to give access if u want to do stuff like create smart triggers if u leave or arrive at/to home for the robot to do something based on that (it uses your smartphone as the device anchor to detect ur position). So is up to u if u want to use that feature or not laugh.gif

just thought others would be interested to know if u r more security minded and worry about these things.


my current setup is a vlan for guest wifi. so it can only see other devices on that guest wifi and not other machines on a separate private vlan where more sensitive data are stored like truenas sweat.gif it still retains internet access. but the robot isn't that high tech so it doesnt have cams, just only lidar, and no robotic arm so there is limited things it can do wrong. at most, if it does get hacked, it would be segmented out away from other devices limiting the damage. so for me that is sufficient for now.

And it the very worse case scenario, if things go to hell (i dont imagine it will, but if), i can simply power it off and not use it till i have a solution. one possible solution is this
https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html

but once u flash that, u cannot undo it. so that is a last resort. but at the end of the day i didn't pay much, roughly rm 580, so i'm risking little if in the worse case scenario it becomes a heavy paper weight sweat.gif this is why i didnt want to spend too much on my first robot vacuum. i'm still acclimating so i get a sense of whats good at the lowest budget end, and what features i may need and what price would be appropriate for that. most definitely not 4k+ puke.gif (not for me anyway)



fyi for the tapo rv30 max plus, clean area floor space 37m2 took 42 minutes to complete the daily clean. Used max vacuum suction. fully automated, didn't even get stuck at all. Once it reached dock to unload to dust bag auto and resume charge, it had about 50% charge left. That is plenty of time from now to tomorrow for it to charge back to 100% So for me with little vacuum area, the battery is more than sufficient. And as time goes, battery wears out, so u can expect the charge to get lesser over the years. So i think it should last for the next 5 years at the very least. Maybe 10 if lucky but by then new vacuums probably much affordable laugh.gif

QUOTE
note: cleaning the vacuum for maintenance is not automated, but i can space it out every 2-3 days to check and clean it as necessary. For mopping i do once a week, so ill only check it after a mop job, clean and dry the mop. I got spare mop if i need to quickly replace to run a mop job sooner rather than wait for the old mop to dry first.


if there is a big mess, i think for that i will just mop manually those problematic spots only. this robot mop is too basic to deal with that (too afraid it will leave smears all over). anyway that rarely ever happens. But if u want a robot that can handle something like that, then you need a Eufy E25 or something similar to it for the more advanced/effective mopping feature.


cheaper solution?

QUOTE
Just water, but I pour cleaning liquid on the mop cloth
QUOTE
Same, I spread some liquid soap to the cloth. Adding extra chemicals directly to the water may clog the pump or the tube inside the tank.


https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/..._your_roborock/

price for tile cleaning solution MAGICLEAN Floor Cleaner Fresh Floral, rm11 for 2 liter. This is why i said all these other robot proprietary cleanner solutions are pricey because u get little volume and it cost way more rolleyes.gif

so i'm gonna go with that trick to apply to the mop direct since thats within my budget. i will try tomorrow and report how well it does.




oo review for the tapom rv30 max plus. has voice dub but the review is legit and similar to what i experienced as well



this is my recommendation if u can get it under rm600 (which i did, using shopee vouchers). If for alternatives similar price or up to rm1k, i don't have a good recommendation for that, since i only had experience with this rv30 max plus personally so far. satisfied with it for the price. caveats all mentioned in my previous posts if u r interested.

I have an older Ecovacs and recently got the Tapo RV30 Plus

I would say get the a robot vacuum with external dust bag as my older Ecovacs model would get quite clogged after 2-3 cleaning leading to weaker suction power.

The Tapo RV30 Plus is great cause it auto suck everything into the dust bag at the dock after every cleaning session. The internal dustbin at the robot vacuum is almost fully empty so the suction power is perfect every time.

I don’t need to deal with the messy process of cleaning the robot vacuum every week after switching to this. The dust bag is super easy to replace. Only downside is the cost of replacing the dust bag every 2-3 months.

Old old Ecovacs comes with LiDAR and this new one is pretty much the same. Perhaps it’s a little faster.

Considering this Tapo RV30 Max Plus. Becos it is quite affordable with a lot of features.

Is it still a good buy in 2025?

Icic. Thanks for the confirmation.

I managed to buy one at Lazada yesterday.

Looking forward to try it out.
Do not want to spend thousands on it while the result may not uncertain.

I just need something basic to keep the floor clean without spending so much $$ and again saving the efforts of manual cleaning.

I bought the RV30 Max Plus which it should be good enough.
Also saw the RV20 Max Plus which is slightly cheaper and more compact in size and wonder if it is better than RV30?

RV30 is better with the 360 LiDAR system, better accuracy in mapping
