Tapo Ultra-Slim LiDAR Robot Vacuum and Mop Self-Emptying, RV20 Max Plus

I’ve had four different robot vacs in the past 10 years and this one is the best. It mapped easily and I was able to program no-go zones. It rarely gets stuck and cleans hard floors and rugs very well. I have not used the mop feature so no comment on that. Overall, great vac for the price.

WOW! I'm totally impressed. I've only used it once but was impressed first with its mapping ability. It went all around the house sucking up dirt very easily in its first pass as it avoided baseboards. Then it went all around the house again using its mapping to get close to the baseboards. The little sweeper easily swept the dirt and crumbs into its suction mouth. When it went through doorways it went back and forth over the crack between carpet and hard surface. It vacuumed under beds (with no floor frames), sofa, and a futon, none of which my vacuum is low enough. None of my carpets are too shaggy for it. I didn't have to "rescue" it even once. When it was finished it docked and obeyed the command its robotic base made, to empty the contents of its work into the bag. The sale price was excellent to entice me to try a robot vacuum cleaner. I'm very glad I bought it.

One of the best investments I've ever made. Very thorough and awesome little guy. Keeps my home nice and clean on a schedule. I gave it 4 stars because I honestly don't get the mopping part of the device itself. You just fill it with water, and the mop strip is too small to even look like it does anything. Doesn't really seem to mop. I use a swiffer or other swivel mop right after. 04/15/2026 update. Mop does work, but only does so lightly. I saw a moist trail after it today but will spot clean and try it out at some point to see just how good it cleans.

With two toddlers and a puppy, this vac-mop has it's work cut out for it. My overall impression is that it's is a great vac-mop for the price. In retrospect, I would have paid more for better mopping capabilities, but this is fine for now! The good: - the smart mapping feature is super easy to use and I appreciate how user-friendly the app is - the vacuum hits every area and does a good job getting into corners - the suction is adequate, and the mop feature does a decent job - this genuinely makes my life easier and saves me time cleaning The less good: - attaching and detaching the mop is kind of annoying because you have to do it manually - when the mop is attached, my vac-mop gets stuck on thicker rugs. Makes sense, but still requires an extra step when I want a quick clean. - the mop is mediocre. I'd say it gets 70% of the mud my pup drags in, and then I have to go over it again myself.

One year update: battery is dead and vacuum is not functioning. Battery warranty is 6months. Cannot find a replacement battery either. Original: It is a good vacuum but has issues. The mapping software is good. It mapped the entire area quickly. You can set up rooms and virtual walls. Scheduling is fine but for some reason some schedules were skipped. The Vacuum works well. The issues are 1. Gets stuck on anything that has a slight incline like a lamp base or a fan base or a rubber mat. I will attach photos. 2. It bumps into everything and has issues navigating around non-linear objects. 3. Wont find the way back to the dock. It needs a ~5 feet clearance in front of the dock. I had a table leg about 3 feet in front of the dock and it kept bumping into it trying to return to the dock and finally gave up. It could easily have navigated around even the thin leg with enough clearance around it. The only way it docks is by aligning about 5 feet ahead of the dock and backs into it. Even a small obstacle causes the docking to abort. It sometimes gets lost and errors out in other rooms and cannot locate the dock. 4. It needs a bag for the dock which is not available. Look for the bags before buying the vacuum. If you try to buy the bags, it takes you to amazon and they are unavailable. 5. This vacuum did not come with any spare brush, bag, rollers or filters. I have run the vacuum 5 times and it has errors 4 times and the vacuum stuck every time. I am attaching a picture of the errors. I have not tried the mopping function and really dont plan to use it.

So I’ve had this for about a month and figured I would actually do a review on it before we had the IHome. So my family has had experience with these kind of vacuum cleaners. The reason I wanted to purchase this is because all of our cameras around our house use the same app as the vacuum cleaner my husband said just because a company makes a camera doesn’t mean they can make a good vacuum cleaner. This one can make a good vacuum cleaner and here’s why. The battery life all this works really well. We live in a two bedroom single wide trailer and it cleans the whole house. The problem with the eye home was it wouldn’t bring itself back after it is finished cleaning This one actually does. I like seeing you have different sets of cleanliness. The lowest setting is very quiet and of course, the higher you go in suction the louder it’s going to get. The sturdiness of this vacuum cleaner is amazing; we have three dogs and they trip over it and it just keeps going like nothing ever happened to it. I don’t feel like it looks any different than our old one that we had but I did move it to a smaller section because the back is a little thinner, which works well if you’re trying to put it in a tighter spot overall I would definitely purchase this again. I did get it on sale after Christmas.

After about 8 months with this vacuum, I can very comfortably say this is not a “smart”vacuum—it’s a stupid vacuum. Does it work? Sure, generally speaking. Does it auto-adjust to your home as advertised? Not really. Does it forget the map of your home at least once a week? Absolutely (Dory would be proud). Is the battery life long? Not particularly. Our vacuum, affectionately named “Bryce Quinlan,” is the subject of my roommate and my ire at least 2-3 times a week (whether it got stuck under the fridge for the billionth time despite the “No-Go Zone”, or has randomly stopped in the middle of the room because of an obstruction that does not exist). She often forgets where she is or gives up midway through the clean (and we live in a 3 bedroom in Manhattan - it is truly not that big, so I shudder to think of how quickly she would give up in say, my parent’s much larger home). Sure, our house is cleaner than it would be without her, but boy oh boy she is definitely not the brightest bulb in the box. We are looking into replacing her, which is definitely a shame given that we haven’t even had her for a year yet. Save your money and just shell out $50-$100 more dollars for a Shark (which my parents have, and is much, much smarter than Bryce from what I understand).

Setup was extremely easy. Once it mapped the house I have it set to vacuum everyday at 12pm. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that love to shed all over my hardwood floors. I was vacuuming EVERYDAY. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to come home everyday and not see animal hair and have to vacuum. I have yet to use the mop feature as I wanted to make sure vacuuming went smoothly. It is constantly learning and improving if things get moved around. Compared to the stick vacuum it’s very quiet. For the 90mins it cleans it docks with 40% battery remaining which I think is pretty good. There are some areas that it’s not able to get due to floor space but I will take having to vacuum 1x a week for 5mins compared to 7x a week for 1hr any day.

First purchase for robot vacuum recently. Tested it. Very very good. Can consider getting one to do your daily mopping and vacuuming. The mapping takes a while to do and to figure out where to section those no go zones. But it works well. 👍

Lots of issues. I have returned the product and still waiting on my refund.

Hasta el momento bien. Reporto en unos meses.

C’est surtout le prix qui m’avait convaincue de l’essayer et finalement j’en ai acheté un deuxième. Il nettoie très bien et j’adore aussi la fonction de lavage des planchers, surtout pour mes planchers flottants. J’aime beaucoup l’application. Ce que je préfère, c’est de pouvoir faire partir automatiquement l’aspirateur lorsqu’on quitte la maison. On revient et le ménage est fait! Par contre, il reste assez souvent pris dans les câbles de charge d’ordinateur et de téléphone lorsqu’ils traînent au sol. Il arrive aussi qu’il se perde, ne retrouve plus son socle et recommence une nouvelle carte. Malgré ces petits désagréments, je l’aime beaucoup. J’en ai même acheté un deuxième! J’espère seulement qu’avec le temps ces petits problèmes ne finiront pas par me faire changer d’idée.

DIdn't work. Could not return home (ie. the dock). Could not detect it's at home (even with manual placement) so it could not charge or maintain/hold it. Battery level can report charged at 95% , then in the next 5 minutes, report that it's close to flat 5%. I know that with any robot vacuum even with highly well known/reputable brands, it's possible to always get a faulty model and that's just a fact of life. Returned product and got a refund, decided to buy a more expensive model under different brand instead, (that specialises more on robot vacuums and is known for that to minimise risk). Tapo appears to be a jack of all trades when it comes to the devices they sell, and the support can be hard to get with longer back and forth correspondance via email/forms. Several things that can be considered red/grey flags. At certain locations around the house it seems that wifi connection can be weak through certain walls/corners. The fact that this product with it's accompanying application came in reporting a firmware update to deal with "returning home" issues (can't remember the exact documentation wordings) is very risky. If the firmware failed to install properly maybe due to unstable network connection at the user's home, it could had literally bricked the vacuum. I guess that was what happened could had happened to me and thus couldn't eventually get to install this properly. Again, don't know the reason why or it could had been faulty right at the start of installation.
