Pros

• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.8
  Large debris pickup is repeatedly strong, with tests showing near-perfect results on items like rice and cereal and high overall debris-removal percentages. It is frequently described as handling a wide range of debris sizes without issue.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  Hard-floor cleaning is consistently reported as excellent, including strong capture of fine particles in both lab and real-home tests. Reviewers commonly describe floors looking visibly cleaner after runs.
• Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.7
• Assembly and Setup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.7
  Setup is typically described as fast and straightforward, often around 10 minutes, with minimal assembly like attaching a side brush or inserting a ramp. App pairing is commonly reported as quick via guided steps or QR scanning.
• Versatility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  The T30S ecosystem is repeatedly framed as an all-in-one setup: robot vacuum + mop plus (on Combo variants) a handheld or stick capability for stairs, upholstery, and quick spot cleans. This versatility is a key differentiator versus typical robot-only competitors.
• Hair Pickup — Hard Floors ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.6
  Hair pickup on hard floors is consistently high, with strong dog and pet hair results reported in testing. Any hair that does catch is generally described as easy to remove during maintenance.
• Aesthetic design & finish ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  Reviewers commonly describe a refined matte-black look for both robot and station that blends into many interiors better than more utilitarian docks. The overall fit-and-finish is often viewed as premium for the category.
• Build quality & durability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  Lab-style testing and several reviewers rate build quality as excellent or exceptional across the robot and station. Minor criticisms include specific fit issues like a top plate that can feel loose during handling, but overall construction is viewed as sturdy.
• Carpet — High-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  High-pile carpet pickup scores well in at least one lab test, suggesting it can handle thicker carpet debris reasonably. Mop clearance over thicker carpet is still a caution point because mop lift height is modest.
• Floor Drying Time ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  After mopping, floors may be left slightly damp but are often reported to dry quickly in normal use, sometimes within a few minutes. Dock behavior and room conditions will influence drying speed.
• Scratch resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  The matte finish is specifically praised for avoiding the visibly scratched look that glossy robots can develop over time. While long-term wear still depends on use, reviewers generally view the exterior as more scratch-forgiving.
• Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Low-pile carpet pickup is generally strong for common debris like cereal and litter with high measured scores. Some limitations appear more with hair or deeply embedded dirt rather than typical surface debris.
• Ease of use ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.6
  Most reviewers find it easy to use thanks to automation, strong default behaviors, and multiple control methods. The main ease-of-use friction points are software tasks like room division or smart home integration, which can be inconsistent by reviewer.
• Dirty water sensor ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The dock includes a dirty-water detection feature that can use water-soil level to decide on extra mop washing or additional mopping behavior. This supports more automated, adaptive mopping maintenance.
• Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.5
  Multiple reviewers highlight very strong raw power, commonly cited at 11,000 Pa, with top-tier suction and airflow that translates to excellent everyday pickup. Deep-cleaning performance can still be only average in certain embedded-carpet tests despite the high power.
• Dried-On Stain Removal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
  Results show the Deebot T30S tied for third in dried stain removal in a multi-run coffee and grape-juice test, and other reviews also report strong performance on sticky or dried messes like ketchup and jelly. Some concentrated liquids can spread or leave lingering smell in pads, occasionally requiring manual pad washing.
• Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  Combo/Complete packages add a handheld (and in some versions a stick wand/floor head) plus common attachments like crevice and brush tools, typically stored in a dock drawer or on the station. A few reviewers note storage is good but not all accessories fit neatly depending on the bundle.
• Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  Overall sentiment is strongly positive: it is commonly described as delivering flagship-like cleaning and mopping at a more accessible tier, and it appears in top-list roundups as a strong mid-level or premium pick. The biggest recurring drawbacks are the oversized dock, mixed software polish for room editing, and only average performance in some deep-carpet or cord-avoidance scenarios.
• Self-cleaning cycle ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  The self-cleaning station washes mop pads with hot water around 70°C/158°F, refills the robot, empties dirty water, and dries pads with heated air, often over 2 to 4 hours. A few reviewers report pads may remain slightly damp even at longer drying settings, but overall automation is considered a major strength.
• Pet-Ready Features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.4
  Pet-focused results are generally strong, driven by solid pet-hair pickup and anti-tangle brush design. Some tests still show weaker dog-hair pickup on carpet and obstacle avoidance is not foolproof around pet-related floor hazards like cords and small objects.
• Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  The Omni station uses a disposable dust bag that can collect debris from both the robot and the bundled handheld, reducing the need to empty multiple bins. Several reviews describe the bag area as accessible and easy to service, with bag capacity lasting weeks in regular use.
• Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.4
  The Omni dock is repeatedly praised for auto-emptying and automated mop maintenance, and it can also empty the bundled handheld into the same dust bag, improving mess control. Reliability is generally described as strong, though at least one test noted handheld bin emptying was not always perfect and the dock size is a major tradeoff.
• Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  The Omni station substantially reduces daily upkeep by auto-emptying and automating pad washing and drying, and some reviewers call it among the lowest-maintenance systems they have used. Large homes may still require frequent water-tank servicing and occasional manual cleaning of pads or hair pathways.
• Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.3
  Mopping is consistently a headline strength: dual spinning pads with pressure plus hot-water pad washing deliver excellent everyday cleaning and strong stain removal. It can still spread certain liquids or leave occasional streaks, so it may not fully replace manual deep mopping for every mess.
• Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
  Anti-tangle performance is frequently praised, with several reviewers reporting zero tangles over weeks and strong long-hair handling. One evaluation found the brush hair-removal feature less effective in a short test window, implying occasional manual cleaning may still be needed.
• Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.2
  The included handheld or stick functionality is widely considered useful for stairs, couch cushions, shelves, and corners the robot cannot reach, with multiple attachments enabling above-floor cleaning. Reviewers note it is convenient and reasonably powerful, though not always as feature-rich or strong as top standalone stick vacuums.
• Debris illumination ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2
  At least one review notes LED lighting on the floor nozzle in the Combo Complete configuration, helping visibility for dust under furniture. This benefit applies primarily to the stick/handheld floor head rather than the robot itself.
• Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.2
  Navigation and coverage are typically above average, with some reviews noting very fast mapping and high efficiency, and others reporting longer first-map runs that improve over time. Room partitioning and editing is the more variable part of the experience, with some users needing remaps or struggling to split rooms.
• Mop lifting system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.1
  Mop pads lift automatically over carpets at roughly 9 mm and raise/lower based on surface detection, enabling combined vacuum+mop runs. The lift is lower than some competitors, so thicker pile carpets may still contact damp pads unless using vacuum-first workflows.
• AI, Smart & App / Automation ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.1
  App and automation features are extensive, including multi-level mapping, virtual barriers, per-room settings, schedules, and scenario-style routines. Experiences are mixed on room partitioning and editing, with some calling it excellent and others finding room division or smart integration unreliable or tedious.
• Controls & UI ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.1
  Control options are broad: app-based control, an onboard voice assistant (Yiko), and physical controls including a station button and a foot-control bumper. Some users report minor UI quirks like finicky mode switching, inconsistent foot-control triggering, or room-division frustration in the app.
• Solution / Liquid system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.1
  The system is commonly used with water-only operation, and multiple reviews note support for an Ecovacs proprietary cleaning solution if desired. There is no consistent mention of automatic detergent dosing, and some reviewers avoid adding soap entirely.
• Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.0
  Positioned as a premium or upper mid-range option, with many reviewers calling it strong value because it bundles flagship features and, in Combo versions, an auto-emptied handheld. MSRP is often described as expensive, but discounts and the two-in-one concept improve the value case.
• Noise level ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.0
• Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Crevice and groove performance is reported inconsistently: one evaluation found it about average, while another measured perfect debris removal. Overall it appears capable, but not always a category leader depending on the test method.
• Energy efficiency (kWh) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  One measured evaluation reported roughly 0.4 kWh for a charge cycle associated with a large clean plus mop drying, and estimated around 15 kWh per month with daily cleaning of about 100 square meters. Standby power draw was also measured as small but non-zero.
• Comparative performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.0
  In comparisons, the T30S is often framed as competing closely with more expensive flagships and even outperforming Ecovacs X2 Omni in select tests like suction and obstacle avoidance. It may still trail the very best competitors on deep carpet cleaning and software polish, depending on the home and expectations.
• Area Rug Handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.9
  Rug handling is improved by automatic mop-pad lifting, allowing vacuuming and mopping workflows that keep many rugs from getting damp. Thicker pile rugs can still be a risk for pad contact, and cords on rugs remain a common challenge.
• Corner Cleaning (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.9
  Corner performance is helped on the mopping side by TruEdge mop extension, but vacuuming corners can be limited because there is no extendable side brush. Some reviewers suggest corners may still benefit from occasional handheld cleanup.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.9
  Carpet hair pickup is mixed: some tests and users report good results, but at least one lab test showed only moderate dog-hair pickup with hair being pushed deeper into carpet by the robot. Homes with heavy shedding on carpets may still need handheld follow-up.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.8
  Medium-pile results are generally strong for surface debris, but deep-clean evaluations for embedded material show more mixed performance. Some testing reports slightly below-average deep extraction despite excellent raw suction.
• Stuck resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.8
  Most reviews suggest it operates reliably without frequent intervention, but it can still snag or run over cords and had occasional reports of unexplained getting stuck. When it does tangle, at least one user noted it tends to stop quickly and is easy to free.
• Dock noise ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.6
  Dock emptying is commonly the loudest operation, with reports around 70 to 78 dB, while mop washing tends to be quieter around the mid-60 dB range. Heated-air drying is lower volume but can be audible for extended periods depending on the selected drying duration.
• Battery & Charging ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
  Battery impressions vary by test and home size: some measurements call efficiency slightly below average at higher settings, while others report long runtimes and fast charging with frequent dock top-ups during mop washing. Large homes may require recharge-and-resume runs and additional dock visits for water and pad maintenance.
• Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
  Obstacle avoidance is generally strong and can score very well when sensitivity is tuned, but it still struggles with cords, thin furniture legs, and small items like shoelaces or small blocks. Overall performance depends heavily on home clutter type and settings.
