Changed to 1 Star: Comes with 1-bag and you can't order new ones. Have ordered 4 separate dust bags on Amazon, including the only one with the right picture, and the bags are all wrong size/dimension. These bags aren't even on ecovacs website. Good luck when the maker doesn't support the necessary accessories…
I read some of these reviews and you can't help but think it is marketing regurgitation from AI bots or maybe RoboVac owners new to the game. Here's an honest review from somebody who has owned almost every RoboVac out there. Our Home => Golden Retriever, Brand New LVP.
Verdict: Don't buy this for the mopping but great as a vacuum & vacuum combo…
Pros:
1.App [Easy: A] – Easy to map the house, divide the rooms, draw zones etc. Would be nice to link to videos describing the feature toggles
2. Vacuuming Suction [Great: A] – Other than wifting (see below) and high-battery consumption on max setting, it is better than any robovac I've owned. Zero-Tangle tech works pretty well / not perfect. Wish it had less collisions.
3. Combo Vacuum [Great B+] – Wish Amazon had the Sku with the Power Brush also included but needs to be purchased separately. Not nearly the power of a Dyson stick vacuum but very convenient & works great for simple messes. I don't plan on using the combo vacuum as a whole house vacuum like you would a Dyson so / perfect for my needs
3. Setup [A] – Out of box to vacuuming in a few minutes
4. Shipping[A] – Fast + Nice Packaging.
Cons:
Mopping wrecks the experience incl. quality, battery life. We see ourselves going vacuum only, swifter mop.
0. Vacuum + Hair [OK: C+] Only had for less than a week. I'm having to manually service hair that gets caught up in the front swivel wheel, side wheels, and in the roller brush (although better than most). See also#3 why hair gets in mop.
1. Mopping Quality [Poor: D]: So new home, new LVP floors. I can take a Swifter Mop to any high traffic area the T30S has finished and it comes out dirty for even just a single, simple, 1 foot wipe. Vacuum is definitely better than mopping quality. See also Wetness Con which absolutely contributes to poor mopping quality.
2. Mopping [Wetness Fades to Dry Mopping: D]: We excitedly follow it around but noticed in the mopping phase, it starts out with "some" wetness eventually becoming bone-dry for a long period of "mopping." This is despite the wetness setting set to MAX. I believe this is why such poor mopping results.
3. Mopping [Carpet Drag: D]: We have a nice semi-plush rug in Living room. The mopping pad lift isn't high enough so the pads drag even after lift. We tried drawing an exclusion zone in the app for (no mopping) but the problem is the wet pads can still drag in the 1-pass mode. So we now trying the 2-pass mode (vac then mop). 2-pass obviously x2 the battery requirements. Vacuum is now going through multiple recharges throughout the day to finish the home BUT by the time we get to the mop portion it is many, many hours AFTER the vacuuming and the mops getting a bunch of pet hair/rotating on a tiny rock etc. that would not be present in the 1-pass mode (with the aforementioned undesirable dragging wet mop on carpet). Could be better if lift was higher allowing 1-pass cleaning…
4. Collisions [C]: Even with the Setting "True Detect 3D Sensitivity" set to "High Sensitivity =>Avoid obstacles more sensitivity", the front plate of my vacuum looks like it got into a bumper car fight with my furniture and i've only had it for a week. (See Pic). New home / don't want this thing scratching up my house. if it keeps up, just going to make my own zones avoiding edges and furniture.
5. Battery [Needs Fast Charge: C]: OK – got this for the 11k Pa suction. High Suction EATS the battery fast that then takes 5 hours to recharge. So with the combination of #3 (2-pass vac then mop setting) and #4 (high suction), it takes many passes and multiple charges to do the home in 24 hours with the aforementioned problem of by the time we get to mop, the vacuum stage of the room was many hours previous = pet hair etc. now stuck in mop. Would be nice if faster charge 4sure. Rated 3 because we can't really use the 11Pa mode in our larger home
6. Wifting (i.e. pushing away debris it needs to vacuum in its path prior to vacuuming): As the vacuum approaches, we notice the some pet hair etc. can be "wifted" out of the path of the vacuum prior to vacuum suction. Vacuum DOES get majority, but when it leaves pet hair for the mopping stage (which doesn't wift) = mops end up pretty "hair gross" pretty fast.
7. Feel [Construction: <time will tell>] – main vacuum unit is kinda squeaky & front is marred after only a week. It doesn't seem it will last the test of time. One of those, buy a new one in a year purchases methinks
8. Initial Box Contents [Need more]: Mentioned a few times, but you don't get any cleaning fluid in the box and only 1-vacuum bag. You'll have to order as a side by side.
