What reviewers found
eufy 11S Max
- TechHive: The jump to 2,000 Pa lifted more crumbs and pet hair, especially on carpet, and it crossed carpet to hardwood smoothly. It navigates by driving straight and turning on contact, so cables should be tidied. Source
- The Ambient: Removed most of the dirt in its runs and was very quiet in standard mode, but with no app or mapping it bounced around at random, choked on cables and got wedged between chairs. Source
TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max
- Tom's Guide: Tested the RV30 Max Plus, which uses the same robot: 99.7% cereal pickup on carpet and 98.6% on hardwood, 89% and 95.7% kitty litter, but only 67.8% pet hair on carpet. Overall cleaning score 90.7. Source
- TechGearLab (56/100): Tested the RV30 Max Plus: carpet cleaning 7.6/10 but pet hair 4.0/10 (40% cleaned) with frequent tangles; missed flat items like socks and cords, covered about 80% of a test room, and measured 55.5 dB on standard suction. Source
