TP-Link introduces Tapo RV30 Max Plus Gen 2 robot vacuum

TP-Link has expanded its smart home portfolio with the Tapo RV30 Max Plus Gen 2, a second-generation robot vacuum and mop. The new model features a significant increase in suction power, rising from 5,300 Pa in the previous generation to 13,000 Pa, placing it in competition with high-end models from brands like Dreame and iRobot.

Key technical upgrades include a new brush system with active hair-cutting capabilities to prevent tangles and an extended side brush for better edge cleaning. Navigation is handled by next-generation dToF LiDAR technology, which allows for precise obstacle avoidance and the ability to map up to four floors. The device can also detect carpets and automatically increase suction power.

The robot includes a mopping function with three levels of water flow regulation. It is supported by a docking station that automatically empties the dustbin into a 3.3-liter bag, which can last up to 90 days without replacement. The unit features a 2600 mAh battery providing up to 150 minutes of vacuuming time and can navigate thresholds up to 18 mm high.
