Ecovacs Deebot N30 Robot Vacuum and Mop

Pros

• Floor Drying Time 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.7
  Floor drying time is often described as fast, helped by controlled water use and hot-air pad drying. Some users report floors drying in minutes in open spaces, though this depends on flow settings and room conditions.
• Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.6
  Hair and tangle control is consistently strong, with ZeroTangle-style brush design keeping the main roller noticeably clean even with long hair and pets. A minority note carpet-deep hair can still be harder to fully extract on thicker piles.
• Edge‑Following Accuracy (Robot) 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
  Edge-following and path control are methodical, often hugging room contours and furniture closely. A few users note corner misses can happen depending on room geometry and settings.
• Build quality & durability 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Build quality impressions are positive, with the robot and dock feeling robust for the price segment. Most concerns center on software or documentation rather than hardware fragility.
• Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Hair pickup on hard floors is consistently strong, with pet hair and longer strands collected efficiently. The anti-tangle system reduces mid-run maintenance.
• Suction & Airflow 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.5
  Suction is repeatedly praised at the 10,000Pa class, with strong pickup on hard floors and solid carpet results for the segment. A few tests note scattered large debris on hard floors that may require a second pass.
• Pet-Ready Features 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
  Pet owners are a core target: strong suction, solid edge cleaning, and excellent anti-tangle behavior suit fur and litter. The main limitation is that thick carpet and very messy floors can still benefit from an occasional manual deep clean.
• Emptying & Mess Control 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  Auto-emptying keeps mess control high and reduces daily bin emptying, especially in pet homes. A few reviewers note large-debris scatter can leave some pieces outside reach, requiring occasional manual pickup.
• Packaging quality 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.4
  Packaging is frequently described as secure and well organized, with most parts pre-installed and protected for shipping. Setup steps are typically limited to snapping on a brush/ramp and plugging in the dock.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  Fine dust pickup on hard floors is strong, with good results on flour, litter, and daily debris. Best outcomes often come from vacuum-first then mop, rather than simultaneous vac+mop in very dirty zones.
• Assembly and Setup 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  Setup is generally straightforward: minimal assembly, app pairing, and quick first mapping runs. A few users mention accidental child-lock activation or firmware updates that delay first use.
• Battery & Charging 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  Battery life is strong for its class, with long runtimes on lower power and enough capacity for larger floor plans on mixed vac+mop. Full recharges can take several hours, but real-world endurance reduces the need to top up often.
• Adaptive chassis lift 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.4
  The chassis and wheel design can handle modest thresholds and some taller rugs better than many bots, improving room-to-room coverage. Extremely tall steps remain out of scope and require manual moves.
• Ease of use 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.4
  Day-to-day use is easy thanks to schedules, scenarios, and hands-off dock routines. Weak points are mainly app quirks and the need to pre-tidy cords or manage problem rugs.
• Self-cleaning cycle 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.4
  Self-cleaning behavior is a major convenience: reviewers highlight mop washing plus hot-air drying that reduces mildew smells and hands-on pad cleaning. Washing water temperature is a point of disagreement across sources, but drying effectiveness is consistently praised.
• Price & Value 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 11 reviews 4.4
  Across reviews, value is a standout: you get an auto-empty, self-washing dock plus strong cleaning for mid-range money, especially when discounted. Several reviewers still note fierce competition at similar prices, particularly on mopping toughness.
• Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.3
  Edge and baseboard cleaning is a highlight when TruEdge is enabled, cleaning closer to walls and around furniture legs than typical dual-pad bots. Some tests still saw minor smearing on wet spills or residue near edges.
• Noise level 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.3
  In-run noise is frequently called quiet, with higher suction audible but not disruptive. The biggest spikes happen at the dock during auto-empty or maintenance cycles.
• Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 11 reviews 4.3
  Dock automation is broadly reliable: auto-emptying, mop washing, and hot-air drying keep day-to-day maintenance low. A few scenarios mention docking sensitivity on very thick/shag rugs or that dock actions are the loudest part of operation.
• Aesthetic design & finish 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.3
  The robot and dock are generally seen as minimalist and easy to blend in, with some reviewers appreciating a refreshed dock look versus older boxy designs. Aesthetics are rarely a deciding factor compared with performance and app behavior.
• Water tank 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.3
  Water tanks on the dock are easy to access and support regular mopping, but you still need to refill clean water and dump dirty water. Some guidance suggests emptying dirty water after each mop run to prevent odor buildup.
• Odor control 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Hot-air pad drying and regular dock hygiene help control damp smells, and some testers report no odors even when dirty water was left for short periods. Long-term odor risk still depends on how quickly you empty dirty water and clean the tray.
• Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.2
  Mapping and pathing are usually fast and accurate for multiple floors, with strong room-merge/split tools. A recurring nit is aggressive room subdivision or fiddly fine-tuning on a phone screen.
• Mopping performance 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 11 reviews 4.2
  Mopping is generally effective for everyday grime, with good edge coverage thanks to the extending pad/arm. Multiple reviewers say tough, dried stains can take extra passes and some rivals scrub harder at the same price.
• Maintenance requirements 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2
  Maintenance is low thanks to auto-empty and mop wash/dry, but you still need to clean the tray occasionally and manage dirty water. Limited included spares mean some owners plan ahead for bags, pads, and filters.
• Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.1
  Low-pile carpet pickup is generally good, especially on higher suction and with two passes. Performance is strongest on surface debris and pet hair rather than deeply embedded grit.
• Bin & Bag 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.1
  Dust handling is solid with an internal bin feeding a disposable dock bag, and clogging during auto-empty is rarely reported. Bag capacity is a mild complaint for heavy-debris homes because it can fill faster than larger docks.
• Mop lifting system 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.1
  Mop lifting helps the robot transition between hard floors and carpets in one routine, but lift height has limits on plush rugs. For homes with lots of thick carpet, dedicated vacuum-first routines or no-mop zones work better.
• Controls & UI 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.0
  Controls are primarily app-driven, with onboard buttons for start/return/spot-type actions. Some users miss more convenient dock buttons or note that certain functions are easier via the app than physical controls.
• Child lock 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.0
  Child lock exists and can be accidentally enabled during setup, but it is easy to undo once discovered. Most reviewers treat it as a minor learning-curve item rather than a blocker.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Hair pickup on carpets is strong for surface hair, especially with the anti-tangle brush design. Some tests still note that deep hair in thicker carpet fibers can require extra passes.
• AI, Smart & App / Automation 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.0
  App controls are feature-rich with room/zone cleaning, schedules, and scenario presets, but software polish is mixed. Some users report firmware/update friction, time zone or DST quirks, and spot-clean behavior that is less reliable than custom-area runs.
• Stuck resistance 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.9
  Stuck resistance is generally good, with the robot recovering from minor traps and handling uneven floors. Edge cases include pedestal chair bases, thick rugs, or snaggy floor clutter that benefit from no-go zones.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.9
  Medium-pile carpet results are mixed: many users see respectable cleaning, while lab-style tests show embedded dirt and tangled hair can remain visible after a run. Two-pass cleans improve outcomes but may not fully match top competitors.
• Dried-On Stain Removal 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
  For dried-on stains, results range from very good on lighter dried spills to mediocre on tougher marks like ketchup, wine, or baked-on grime. Many reviews suggest vacuum-first, higher water flow, and extra passes for the best outcome.
• Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  Ongoing costs include disposable dust bags and replaceable filters/pads, and some reviewers call out the lack of included spares. Budgeting for consumables is sensible if you run daily cleans.
• Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 3.8
  Obstacle avoidance is decent for the price tier, but not flagship-level around cords and very small hazards. Several reviewers recommend basic pre-tidying for cables, and there are edge cases near the dock where avoidance can be less consistent.
• Dock noise 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  Noise during cleaning is typically comfortable, while dock emptying and wash/dry cycles are the noisiest moments. Most owners still consider it acceptable for daytime or overnight runs.
• Streaking / Residue 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.7
  Streaking or residue is generally low on routine cleans, but some tests report smearing on wet spillages or slight stickiness after heavy mopping. A follow-up pass after pad washing usually improves the finish.
• Carpet — High-Pile Pickup 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.7
  High-pile and very thick carpets are a tougher fit, with mop lift height sometimes insufficient to prevent contact. The robot can traverse some taller rugs/thresholds, but deep cleaning on shag can lag.
• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.7
  Large debris intake is good overall, but multiple tests mention some scatter or fling of cereal/rice on hard floors from the brush. On carpets, scatter is reduced and pickup rates improve.
• Area Rug Handling 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
  Rug handling is usually fine for normal rugs, but thick throw rugs and tassels can cause issues such as pushing, flipping, or being treated as debris. No-go zones or folding tassels back are common workarounds.
