Pretty good for the price
I bought this unit for under $300 so I was prepared to be forgiving if it wasn’t fabulous but so far, pretty good. Easy to set up and get going. It is picking up fine dust and light dog hair wherever it travels but it missed a section of this floor plan. I think I can train it by starting it off in different positions. It didn’t throw itself down the stairs.

Excellent price and great app
It works really well for this price and the ability to setup a map of your house with dedicated zones for carpet etc is excellent. I can also schedule it to clean everyday, and it automatically returns home to be charged and then continues to clean the rest of the house itself. Keep in mind, it does get tangled over wires / cords or loose cloth from furniture, so either setup a nogozone, or be prepared to help it out (you’ll receive a notification it’s stuck). The mapping function is really good. Mopping is not so great, more of a wipe but good for floorboards.

Great for the price!
The product vacuums well, covering all rooms. I particularly like the wet feature that gives a smear free finish.

Great robotic cleaner
This robotic vacuum is great for busy households I can set it to come on when everyone’s at work and the children are at school so we can come home to nice clean floors. Works great on carpets and hardwood floors. I would highly recommend this product.

Roving Robot
This vacuum effectively vacuums the entire apartment, including under furniture. It is also super quiet and returns to its docking station when finished.

At a glance
The TP-Link Tapo RV20 Max Plus is a robot vacuum and mop with an auto-empty dock, built for busy homes that want lower-maintenance floor cleaning. It suits households with mixed floors, pets, and furniture with low clearance thanks to its slim 8.3 cm body and 5300Pa suction. App controls and multi-floor mapping add convenience. Its main limitation is that it lacks the more advanced obstacle handling and premium automation of higher-end models.
What it’s great for
- Daily floor maintenance
- Pet hair pickup
- Hard floor cleaning
- Light carpet cleaning
- Vacuum-and-mop sessions
- Busy households
Where it works best
- Homes with hard floors
- Mixed-floor homes
- Apartments
- Family homes
- Pet-friendly households
Who it’s for
- Busy households
- Pet owners
- Apartment dwellers
- Families
- First-time robot vacuum buyers
Things to consider
While it offers strong suction, app mapping and auto-empty convenience, it does not match premium robot vacuums that provide more advanced obstacle recognition, deeper carpet-specific cleaning logic, or more automated mop maintenance.
Pet hair performance score
8/10 - strong 5300Pa suction and auto-empty dock make it well suited to routine pet hair cleanup.
Smart home integration score
6/10 - app-based control, scheduling and zone management are useful, but advanced ecosystem integration is not clearly specified.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Best on hard floors and suitable for everyday carpet cleaning, especially low to medium pile.
Noise level vs category average
8/10 - at 55 dBA, it is relatively quiet for routine robot vacuum operation.
Allergy friendliness
7/10 - HEPA H11 filtration and a sealed 3 L dust bag help reduce dust exposure during cleaning and emptying.
Warranty
1 year manufacturer's warranty

TAPO-RV20MAX-PLUS
Key benefits
- 5300Pa suction: strong pickup power helps remove everyday dust, crumbs and pet hair from hard floors and carpets.
- Auto-empty dock with 3 L sealed dust bag: stores collected debris for longer between manual emptying.
- 8.3 cm slim profile: reaches further under beds, sofas and other low furniture where upright vacuums often miss.
- HEPA H11 filtration: helps capture fine dust for cleaner exhaust air during vacuuming.
- Vacuum and mop modes: handles dry debris and light mopping in one cleaning session.
- Multi-floor mapping with navigation sensors: supports organised cleaning across different levels of the home.
- App control with virtual walls and no-go zones: gives you more control over where and when the robot cleans.
- 55 dBA operating noise: runs quieter than many full-size vacuums, making daytime cleaning less disruptive.
Q: Can it vacuum and mop in the same cleaning run?
A: Yes. TP-LINK Tapo RV20 Max Plus supports wet and dry cleaning, so it can vacuum and mop in one session. The mop function is best for everyday dust and light marks, not heavy scrubbing of dried-on spills.
Q: Is this robot vacuum good for homes with pets?
A: Yes. TP-LINK Tapo RV20 Max Plus combines 5300Pa suction with a sealed auto-empty station, which suits regular pickup of pet hair and dust. Loose cords, fabric ties and similar clutter should still be cleared so the robot does not get stuck.
Q: Will it fit under low furniture like beds and sofas?
A: Yes, in many cases. TP-LINK Tapo RV20 Max Plus has an 83mm profile, so it can reach under furniture that many taller robot vacuums miss. Check the lowest clearance point first, especially on sofas with low rails or centre supports.
Q: How often do you need to empty the auto-empty station?
A: Not very often for normal use. The auto-empty station uses a 3L sealed dust bag, so it can hold debris for extended periods before needing attention. Homes with pets, carpet or heavier dust will fill the bag sooner than lighter-use homes.
Q: Is the Tapo RV20 Max Plus quiet enough for daytime use?
A: Yes. TP-LINK Tapo RV20 Max Plus operates at 55dBA, which is quiet enough for daytime cleaning in most homes. It is still audible while running, so it is less suited to rooms where complete quiet is needed for calls or sleep.
Q: Can it remember more than one floor in a home?
A: Yes. TP-LINK Tapo RV20 Max Plus supports multi-floor mapping, so it can store and recognise more than one layout. That is useful in multi-level homes because the robot does not need to learn the floor plan again each time.
