Ecovacs Deebot T30S Robot Vacuum and Mop

Pros

• Maintenance requirements 4.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.9
  Maintenance is frequently called low effort: auto-emptying and dock washing reduce hands-on work to water tank swaps and occasional consumables. However, heavy mopping or large homes can increase water-related chores.
• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.8
  Large debris intake on hard floors is a standout: reviewers report it clears items like rice/cheerios and party crumbs in few passes, leaving hard floors visibly clean.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
  Hard-floor fine debris pickup is repeatedly rated near the top, with test-based reviews reporting excellent removal of small particles and dust. Performance is generally described as consistent rather than finicky.
• Build quality & durability 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.8
  Build quality is generally rated high, with sturdy construction across robot and dock in test-based reviews. A minor complaint exists about a top plate that can feel loose during handling.
• Floor Drying Time 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.8
  On hard floors, drying time after mopping is often described as quick, with floors left slightly damp but drying within minutes under typical conditions.
• Aesthetic design & finish 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.7
  Design and finish get positive remarks, especially the matte look and a more refined dock aesthetic than some competitors. The main aesthetic drawback is the dock’s sheer size, particularly on Combo/Complete models.
• Pet-Ready Features 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.7
  Pet-focused feedback is largely positive: strong hard-floor pickup, solid mopping, and low tangling make it well-suited to routine pet mess. The main caveat is that carpet hair pickup can be inconsistent depending on carpet type and settings.
• Assembly and Setup 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.7
  Setup is typically straightforward, with most reviewers reporting a quick unboxing/assembly and fast app pairing. Initial mapping can be quick, though a few users needed a second mapping run to capture all rooms.
• Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.7
  Edge/baseboard cleaning is repeatedly praised due to the TruEdge-style extendable mop pad, improving coverage along skirting boards and around furniture compared with typical round robots.
• Suction & Airflow 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
  Multiple reviewers highlight very strong suction/airflow (often cited as 11,000 Pa) and consistently good everyday pickup. Real-world debris tests on hard floors and rugs are especially positive, though deep-clean performance on carpet is more mixed than the raw power suggests.
• Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.6
  Hard-floor hair pickup is usually strong, with pet hair removal commonly praised. When hair does collect in the intake area, reviewers note it is typically easy to remove.
• Carpet — High-Pile Pickup 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.6
  High-pile carpet pickup can be very good in controlled tests, but thicker/longer carpets also expose limits like mop-pad clearance and potential for reduced effectiveness compared with hard floors or shorter pile.
• Versatility 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Versatility is a highlight when considering the broader T30S family: simultaneous vacuum+mop, plus optional handheld/stick tools for above-floor, upholstery, and stairs, makes it closer to an all-in-one cleaning setup than a typical robot.
• Accessories & Tools 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.5
  Combo variants add meaningful accessories (handheld or stick components plus tools) that extend cleaning beyond floors. Accessory usefulness is consistently praised, even by reviewers who still see a performance gap versus premium standalone stick vacuums.
• Bin & Bag 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The system uses a bagged dock for debris collection, which many reviewers find cleaner and easier than frequent manual emptying. Onboard bins are serviceable, and Combo models consolidate robot and handheld debris into the same bag.
• Dirty water sensor 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  A dirty-water sensor and related intelligent re-wash/re-mop behavior are highlighted as advanced dock automation features, aimed at reducing cross-contamination and improving consistency on dirtier areas.
• Scratch resistance 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  A matte finish is noted as a practical choice that hides wear better than glossy finishes, with at least one reviewer calling it less prone to visible scratching over time.
• Stair Cleaning 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Stairs remain a robot limitation, but Combo packages address it with the included handheld/stick vacuum and tools, which reviewers find effective for stair treads and edges.
• Dried-On Stain Removal 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
  Dried-on stain removal is above average, with the T30S placing highly in comparative stain tests and handling dried coffee, grape juice, and ketchup well after multiple passes. A few reviewers still note occasional leftovers or the need for repeat runs on tougher spots.
• Mopping performance 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.5
  Mopping is consistently described as a major strength thanks to dual rotating pads and strong automation. It is effective for routine cleaning and many stains, but reviewers still caution it may not fully replace a manual deep mop for stubborn messes.
• Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.5
  Docking and auto-empty reliability is generally strong for the robot, including bagged emptying and automated mop servicing. A minority of feedback notes the dock may not always fully evacuate debris from the handheld vacuum’s narrow bin when using Combo variants.
• Ease of use 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
  Day-to-day use is broadly considered easy and convenient thanks to automation and strong defaults. Usability can dip if you frequently edit maps/rooms, rely on smart home voice integrations, or have many cords/clutter to manage.
• Self-cleaning cycle 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  The self-cleaning dock is a core differentiator: reviews cite hot-water mop washing, automatic drying, and automated emptying as major convenience wins. Minor complaints include incomplete mop drying in some cases and occasional need for manual pad cleaning after strong-smelling spills.
• Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.4
  Low-pile carpet pickup is generally strong in objective tests and everyday use, with high debris removal percentages reported. Some reviewers still note that carpet hair or deep debris can be harder than surface crumbs on this product line.
• Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Above-floor cleaning is strong in Combo versions, with reviewers citing good results on couches, bedding, shelves, and window sills using the handheld tools. The handheld is typically described as capable, though not a standout compared with top dedicated cordless vacuums.
• Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Anti-tangle performance is a frequent positive. Several reviews report minimal to zero tangles over weeks of use, though one test-based review questions the effectiveness of a brush self-hair-removal feature under short test windows.
• Debris illumination 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.3
  Some Combo Complete packages include LED illumination on the floor nozzle for the cordless attachment, which helps visibility along edges and under furniture when using the handheld/stick component.
• Filtration / Dust Containment 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.3
  Dust containment is generally good thanks to bagged emptying and straightforward filter maintenance. One reviewer highlights a sturdy, easy-to-remove handheld filter design that simplifies cleanup.
• Comparative performance 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.3
  Across lab and hands-on reviews, the T30S/T30S Combo lands in the upper tier for overall capability, often described as delivering near-flagship features at a lower price than top models. It places highly in mopping stain tests and is repeatedly noted for strong suction, but deep carpet extraction and cord avoidance can lag the best-in-class.
• Stuck resistance 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Stuck resistance is generally good, with test-based reports of clearing thresholds around 20 mm/2 cm. Occasional reports of getting stuck still appear, especially around clutter or tricky obstacles.
• AI, Smart & App / Automation 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.2
  The Ecovacs Home app is described as feature-rich, with options like multi-floor maps, virtual barriers, scenarios, and detailed cleaning parameter control. Critiques focus on occasional bugs, room setup not always being seamless, and smart home integration that can be less solid than top competitors.
• Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.2
  Navigation and coverage efficiency are widely rated as strong, with fast mapping and systematic cleaning patterns. A few sources report occasional quirks like incomplete room coverage, needing to remap, or maps that look more basic than competitors.
• Automatic shutoff for obstructions 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2
  When obstructions do happen (especially cords), at least one reviewer notes the robot stops fairly quickly rather than continuing to drag/twist the item, making cleanup easier.
• Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.1
  Crevice/groove pickup ranges from average to excellent depending on the test source. Some reviewers call it only about average in crevice-style evaluations, while others report perfect or near-perfect crevice results.
• Weight 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.1
  Handheld components are described as manageable in weight and comfortable for quick jobs, though the combined system (especially with the large dock) is not a lightweight footprint overall.
• Noise level 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.0
  Noise during cleaning is often considered reasonable on standard settings, but max-power operation and auto-emptying are louder. Reviewers differ based on modes used and sensitivity to noise.
• Controls & UI 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.0
  Controls are generally intuitive via the app and the onboard/ station buttons, with voice assistant support frequently mentioned. Pain points include finicky room-splitting tools in the map editor and inconsistent foot-control/bumper-style start features in some reviews.
• Onboard tool storage 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
  Accessory storage is practical but not always complete: several docks include drawers/compartments that hold most tools, yet some reviewers note not everything fits neatly or it can be a tight arrangement.
• Price & Value 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.0
  Value is often framed as premium performance with better-than-flagship pricing relative to top models, especially when discounted. That said, several reviewers still call it expensive at full price, so deal timing and whether you want the Combo accessories strongly influence perceived value.
• Mop lifting system 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.9
  Mop lifting works reliably for mixed surfaces, letting the robot avoid wetting many rugs. However, the lift height is often described as modest (around 9 mm), so thicker pile rugs/carpets may still need caution or a vacuum-first-then-mop workflow.
• Area Rug Handling 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
  Area rug handling is generally good on standard rugs, especially with mop lift enabled, but thicker rugs can be a risk for pad contact and cords at rug edges can still cause tangles.
• Energy efficiency (kWh) 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.8
  One test-based source measured moderate energy use for daily cleaning, with additional consumption during long charging and mop-drying cycles. Energy draw will vary with cleaning frequency, area, and drying duration settings.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.7
  Medium-pile carpet performance is split: some tests show strong overall pickup, but at least one lab-style deep clean evaluation reports slightly below-average extraction of embedded sand, and another notes a small area of embedded debris that needed extra passes.
• Solution / Liquid system 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.7
  Detergent/solution support is described inconsistently: some reviews recommend relying on water-only mopping and not expecting scented results, while others say Ecovacs’ proprietary solution can be used. Overall, buyers should expect effective cleaning but not a heavy-soap floor-wash experience.
• Battery & Charging 3.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
  Battery experience depends on home size and settings: smaller spaces often finish without issue and benefit from recharge opportunities during dock visits, while larger homes may require multiple sessions. Some test-based sources rate battery efficiency slightly below average on higher power modes and note longer charge times.
