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?

Icic. Thanks for clarification.

Can’t wait to test out the RV30 max plus when it is delivered.

Now still so manual vacuum + mopping which sometimes can be quite time consuming and lazy to do so.

Somemore I only did this every 2 weeks or more so sometimes floor can be dirty with hairs etc. also.

Besides, how often u use this vacuum robot?
Is once a day overkilled?

Icic. Noted. Thanks for the tips. 😊

oh ya. bro, can also check if this vacuum robot supports Apple Siri or not/ which i can start the robot by activiting it with Siri?

Ic. But if I have a speaker that support Google home it will work rite?

Received the item today and quickly tested it out.

1) map creation is quite fast, less than 10 minutes can finish creating the map for a 882 sq ft apartment minus the two toilets and yard and balcony
2) cleaning result (vacuum) is decent. Mopping yet to try out
3) obstacles avoidance to be frank not so fantastic. But can create no go zone so can just get it to avoid going to the area that can get stuck
4) charging speed is normal, abt 3 hours++ to charge from 20% to 100%
5) linked it with Google assistant on my harman kardon speaker, can work. Can control the robot. But find that the most stable way to control is via app.

But overall it is a decent budget vacuum robot especially given the price I paid for.

Rm566.93 nett after considered credit card cash rebate.

To complete the 882 sq ft apartment, took about 46 mins, set to vacuum + mop for one time for every area.

Maximum vacuum power

Returned to charging station time still have 39% battery.
Started at 100% battery.

Seems like apple device can control and monitor the vacuum robot also. Can add to Apple home kit.

tried the rv30 max plus for many rounds.

after setting the virtual walls/no go zone, now pretty much perfect, no stuck at any area while doing the whole house cleaning. set to do vacuum + mop every day at 5:20pm which is the hour i mostly not at home. as it can finish in less than 50 minutes. before 7pm i reached home normally the cleaning will be done by then.

so far happy with this rv30 max plus, can totally eliminate the needs of doing manual vacuum + mop by myself.

and since it is set to vacuum + mop daily, will be even easier to keep the house clean.

onlything i may be regretting in getting RV30 max plus is the height of the device, it is about 10cm in height so it can go underneath my bedframe so it cannot clean it.
wonder if i get RV20 max plus which the height is about 8cm++ will it be able to go thru it?

my minori sofa has very small gap at the bottom so even RV20 max plus should not be able to pass through, but i think RV20 max should be able to pass thru the bottom of my bedframe.

when i configure the robot via app time, there is an option to add to all the smart home services like google home, siri, i click add to siri, there is various commands to add to siri to control the robot, then i played around, and now got ways to add to apple homekit also.

yes, u are rite, it has matter support also.

Can control via HomeKit now as well. Also notification from the robot under HomeKit notification.

while it is not allowed to put the floor washer detergent into the water container.

there is a workaround to it, which i rinse the mopping cloth into the floor washer detergent before the robot starts mopping. the result is better than just simply using plain water.

and if want better result, after each room is cleaned, can just rinse the mopping cloth once to attain the best result (a bit troublesome, but once in a while can do that i will feel in this way can totally eliminate manual mopping)
