Customers say

Customers like the value of the robotic vacuum cleaner, saying it's worth it for the sale price. They also say it'd be an awesome product for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable model. However, some customers have reported issues with navigation and stickiness. They say the mapping capabilities are clearly not good enough and the vacuum continues to get lost. They dislike the ability to learn, battery life, and cycle. Customers also disagree on quality and suction.

Great entry level robot vacuum

Great entry level robot vacuum
Our previous robot vacuum broke, so we decided to give the TP-Link RV10 Lite a try. We were pleasantly surprised by its performance, picking up an impressive amount of debris without any issues. The vacuum's scheduled cleaning feature is convenient, and its low noise levels make it easy to run without disturbing our family. The included cleaning tool is a nice touch, making it simple to maintain the roller and filter. Additionally, the RV10 Lite's detachable edge brush, front roller wheel, and base make cleaning a breeze. The inclusion of an extra filter and edge brush is also appreciated.The RV10 Lite's smart path navigation is a standout feature, allowing it to systematically navigate through our house and cover every corner, including tight spaces. This results in fewer omissions compared to random-path robotic vacuums. While the RV10 Lite doesn't have LIDAR mapping capabilities like some of its competitors, its smart path navigation feature is still impressive. Its 800ml extra-large dustbin allows it to hold even more debris and dust, which is convenient.The RV10 Lite's 4-level suction modes, with up to 2000Pa strong suction, make cleaning daily messes and heavy debris effortless. Its lower noise levels, as low as 53 dB when in use, are also noteworthy. We appreciate how easy it is to control the RV10 Lite via the Tapo app or with our voice, allowing us to tailor scheduling and switch clean modes at home or away. It also pairs with Alexa or Google Home to control with voice commands.The RV10 Lite's 2600mAh battery provides up to 3 hours of continuous cleaning, cleaning our whole home on a single charge. Its auto-charging feature ensures it returns to the charging dock automatically when the battery gets low, then restarts where it left off. Its auto-boost feature for carpets increases the suction power when moving from a hard floor to a carpet, making it suitable for hard floors, low-pile, and medium-pile carpets, not for high-pile carpets over 0.5 inches.Another feature we appreciate is the RV10 Lite's ability to effortlessly climb over doorsills and thick carpets under 2 cm / 0.79 in, with anti-drop protection from multiple cliff sensors that prevent falls down stairs and ledges.Overall, the RV10 Lite is a great purchase for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable robot vacuum, especially considering the current $70 discount (which brings the total purchase down to $150). Before the first use, it's important to fully charge the battery and physically vacuum your home. Ensure that all areas you don't want the vacuum to go to are blocked off, and all objects that could cause it to get stuck are removed. While the RV10 Lite doesn't come with a remote control, which some competitors offer at this price range, it's a minor thing. After several attempts, this vacuum has performed well, and we're happy with our purchase.

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2023
Style: VacuumVerified Purchase
This is our first robot vac, so we've learned a lot this month. We have the basic vacuum, without the mop function. We've used it 3-5 times a week for the last 4-5 weeks.

TL;DR: This vac works well as long as the suction is turned all the way up. With or without the suction turned up it is NOT quiet. The vac seems very slow to learn its environment. And its battery life is not enough to clean a 1200 sq ft area without recharging at least once. Charging takes a while.

We chose this particular vac for its low cost, advertised quietness (see below) and battery life compared to similarly priced robot vacs. We have basically replaced our full-sized standup model with the Tapo, which cost one-third what the standup vac did.

If you're reading this wondering whether you should buy a robot vac, it might be helpful to consider the following questions about your home:
- Is my home old, with inconsistent types of flooring, variable door sizes and lots of funny angles?
- Do I have area rugs with fringe that will get sucked into a vacuum's intake?
- Do I light my home with lamps that require long cords? Or does my internet setup have loose cords that lie on the floor?
- Do I work from home? Does background noise bother me?

If, like myself, you answered yes to all of the above questions, a robot vac might not be for you. But if you like clean floors more than you dislike background noise and stopping to free the robot vac from its latest tangle, try it out.

PROS:
- The actual vacuum is pretty good. It's not perfect, but it keeps the floors reasonably clean as long as the suction is on high.
- The vac frees itself from most reasonable obstacles. It rises up on its wheels like a custom low rider to get itself unstuck. Pretty cool.
- This $160 vacuum is doing a better job keeping the floors clean than our $600 standup vac, partly because it goes places the standup did not and partly because it spends 10x more time actually running.
- The little HEPA filter does an excellent job of minimizing dust and odors.
- The dust bin is large enough for one battery cycle, and there is plenty of time to empty it during recharging.
- It's a robot vacuum cleaner! I mean, it vacuums for us!

CONS:
- On normal suction, the vac doesn't even get loose dirt off the kitchen floor. On high suction, it does great.
- Even though it can run for 1.5 hours at a charge, the vac cannot clean our 1200 sq ft of floor space on one charge, probably because the vac gets lost in rooms.
- The battery seems to take almost as long to charge as it does to deplete. If the vac gets stuck a few times, gets lost once or twice, has to recharge, it can take the majority of the day to finish one cleaning.
- The vac's mapping abilities seem extraordinarily weak. It can get lost in our kitchen, which is only one room away from its home base in the dining room.
- The vac does not seem to learn where hazards are. Even after we've freed it three times from the standup desk legs, it just keeps coming back to the same place for more excitement.
- This vac is NOT quiet. One of the advertising points was how quiet it was. It's just not. On the upside, you always know what room it's in.

Our biggest issue with the Tapo is its ability to navigate. To give it credit, it has improved probably 150% since we got it a month ago, but it still will completely miss some rooms on some days. I have watched it switch to homing mode, turn 180 degrees away from its base and slam into the kitchen cabinets for five minutes before I finally guided it back home with my feet. I have watched it get "trapped" between the toilet and the tub and the sink and just keep turning around and banging into the same places when all it needs to do is pick a slightly different angle to free itself. And its mapping capabilities are clearly not good enough for it to remember when it starts to climb up the base of the standup desk legs that it should stop and back up before it gets high-sided.

I've mentioned that it gets stuck, but that's mostly due to our older home. If we're careful about cords and cables and rug fringes, it seems to do okay (except for the standup desk leg bases, which are angled just right and are just thin enough to neutralize the vac's off-road capabilities every time).

I'm hopeful that the Tapo's navigation will improve with future firmware updates. It would be great if it would learn how to find certain rooms that it must certainly know by now, and it would be even better if its trapped pattern could get it out from under a chair in less than 5 minutes. A true bonus would be a hazard memory that reminds it to back up off those desk legs before it keels over sideways like a helpless four-wheeler.

 Edit: I'm keeping the original review below this but updating here.
I returned this item. It builds a map Everytime it runs, but doesn't store or use that map ever. So every time it runs it does a random exploration again, gets stuck again, and runs out of battery after maybe completing two rooms of my home.
Since that means I can never trust it to run on its own, or mark areas to avoid, I returned the item.

Original :

I've tried letting it run 3 times.

It has gotten itself stuck, gotten the brush jammed, or just generally started going in circles. It cannot seem to navigate back to the dock on its own which might be a symptom of it not having a completed map but it can't complete the map!

I have a 1500 sqft home. I'm closing off the bathrooms and the office as I don't need/want it to ever clean those. It should be able to map that.

I'm going to give it maybe one more go, but I'm strongly considering returning it at this point.
