Our Verdict
Like its predecessors, the Deebot T30 Omni Professional impressed us. With its suction energy elevated to 11,000Pa and the brand new extendable mop arm, it ensures good cleansing outcomes all spherical and doesn’t let pet hair or obstacles cease it from doing its job.
The brand new design can also be advantageous. The contemporary and soiled water tanks are actually situated on the bottom station and will be simply eliminated. They’re additionally flatter and subsequently match higher beneath a faucet.
Ecovacs set the bar excessive with final yr’s Deebot T20 Omni and Deebot X2 Omni fashions. The brand new mannequin comes with even higher expertise and efficiency in addition to a modified design.
Word: There may be additionally the T30 Omni mannequin with out the “Professional” within the title. It’s barely cheaper and doesn’t have the Yiko voice management and clever mud detection. The mannequin can also be solely obtainable in black. The opposite options are equivalent.
Design & Construct
As you’d count on, the Deebot T30 Omni Professional additionally is available in a big package deal, which at 44 × 47 × 76cm is greater than the boot of many small automobiles. The mix of docking station and robotic vacuum weighs in at round 18kg.

In comparison with its predecessor, the T20 Omni Professional, the bottom station is barely extra compact and it’s additionally smaller than the X2 Omni, measuring 43 × 40 × 48, in comparison with 43 × 45 × 58cm (W×D×H respectively).
Each the station and the robotic in our assessment system got here in a white and silver plastic housing, though in some international locations it’s additionally obtainable in pink.
At first look, the equipped parts make a high-quality impression after unpacking and earlier than meeting.

Arrange is an easy course of: the bottom station is assembled from 4 components and linked to the facility provide. The robotic is able to go inside a couple of minutes with the pre-assembled mops and the cleansing brush we hooked up. We didn’t even want to take a look at the printed working directions.

There are two necessary issues to contemplate when selecting the set up location: an influence connection is required and the bottom station have to be simply accessible from above in order that the 2 water tanks for contemporary and soiled water will be eliminated. Whereas the water tank is identical measurement as its predecessor at 4L, the soiled water tank solely holds 3.5 litres, 500ml much less.
App Options
The set-up works within the common means for Ecovacs gadgets: the Deebot T30 Omni Professional is added as a brand new system within the Ecovacs app utilizing the QR code that may be discovered beneath the ornamental plate on the robotic.
Some further capabilities can be utilized when the system is linked to an present Wi-Fi community. These embody, for instance, entry to the robotic from anyplace through the Ecovacs cloud or voice management utilizing Yiko, Alexa or Google Assistant. Throughout setup, we obtained a firmware replace to model 1.55.0. New updates can be put in mechanically when they’re obtainable – between 00:00 and 6:00am.
The default settings within the app are usable. You’ll be able to change them at any time. The app itself is straightforward to know and principally intuitive to make use of. First, it’s best to perform the mapping. The Deebot T30 Omni Professional does this mechanically. It scans the rooms and its TrueMapping 2.0 laser system detects partitions, edges and obstacles.

The app permits you to view the maps in 2D or 3D. The names of the rooms can be utilized to set off cleansing just by voice command.
The app is properly designed, however detailed. You must take a while to discover the settings and customise the robotic to your personal surroundings. For instance, you may title rooms on the map, outline restricted zones and mark objects. You obtain standing messages in your smartphone or through voice output so as to react instantly.

To begin cleansing on the contact of a finger, you may choose the specified cleansing programme as a favorite for fast entry. Then, for instance, you can begin cleansing the kitchen simply earlier than you permit the home.
Efficiency & Options
The Deebot T30 Omni Professional has three management buttons on the highest in entrance of the laser tower. You should use the Dwelling button to ship the robotic again to its base station. With the Spot Clear button, you can also make the T30 Omni Professional clear a small space precisely the place you will have positioned it. There’s additionally an on/off swap.
The Ecovacs robotic will get to work with a loud noise. In line with the producer, it could actually attain as much as 65 decibels – that’s as a lot as a standard vacuum or a hair dryer. However you don’t should cowl your ears on a regular basis. The Deebot T30 Omni Professional is at its loudest when it’s cleansing and drying the mops.
The robotic doesn’t have its personal water tank, which is why it has to return to the station each jiffy. There, the mops are cleaned and moistened with water heated to 70°C (T20: 55°C). This removes cussed filth. This may be clearly seen from the residue within the base station’s soiled water tank.

A small disadvantage: the T30 Omni Professional doesn’t have a detergent additive or a separate tank for one, as is the case with the Dreame L20 Extremely. You need to dose a cleansing answer your self and add it to the contemporary water.
What was used for the primary time on the X2 Omni and is more and more changing into commonplace throughout rivals is the extendable mopping arm on one aspect of the T30 Omni Professional. This permits higher cleansing outcomes and will get nearer to edges.
Ecovacs depends on TruEdge, an modern operate of the Deebot T30 Omni Professional. The robotic travels a further path alongside the perimeters when mopping, guaranteeing higher cleansing of corners and edges which are usually troublesome to succeed in.

Utilizing a laser and a digital camera to recognise obstacles, it measures the gap with LIDAR. The navigation labored properly in our check.
On tiled flooring, the T30 Omni Professional does an excellent job of vacuuming and mopping. Dust, mud and the white hair from Pointer-Dalmatian combine Eddy land within the robotic’s assortment bin. It’s a little small, so it must be emptied within the base station fairly often.
The Deebot T30 Omni Professional can carry its mops to take away filth from carpets. It is a actual problem for a lot of robotic vacuums. The Ecovacs system stops mopping when a carpet is detected and will increase the suction energy.
Like its predecessors and competitor merchandise, the robotic can’t fairly make it over a door threshold in our house that’s round 2.5cm excessive – others of 1.5cm are not any drawback. The Deebot T30 Omni Professional recognises a downward staircase and brakes in good time.
Pace is much less necessary, because the vacuum-mopping robotic can clear the house through the day when no one is round. It took the T30 Omni Professional slightly below 55 minutes to wash our 34 sq. metres of tiled flooring.
As quickly because the robotic has completed its work, the suction station takes care of the cleansing. The robotic docks onto the station, the place its mud container is emptied, the mops are washed with scorching water (70°C) after which dried with scorching air. This prevents unhealthy odours and ensures optimum hygiene.
