Tapo RV30 Max Plus Gen2 Review

13,000Pa suction  |  dToF LiDAR  |  Compact auto-empty dock  |  Up to 170 min  |  Tangle-free brush

Overview

The Tapo RV30 Max Plus Gen2 raises suction to 13,000Pa across 5 levels and uses dToF LiDAR navigation. Tapo lists a tangle-free cutting brush and pet hair collection, anti-drop and anti-stuck sensors, carpet boost, no-go zones, 3+1 maps, a child lock and Do Not Disturb.

It mops with electric water control (3 levels) and a 300ml tank. The compact auto-empty dock takes a 3.3L bag that Tapo says lasts up to 90 days. The 2,600mAh battery gives up to 170 minutes and charges in about 4 hours, and Tapo lists 52-55dB. It uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, works with Alexa, and has an E11 HEPA filter.
