Every year the market for robotic vacuum cleaners becomes more and more diverse, but it is difficult to find a device that can handle cleaning the house without compromise.
Today I suggest you pay attention to two models of the famous ECOVACS brand: T30S PRO and T30S COMBO. We promise that we have our advantages and high efficiency, but our method has its own characteristics.
Let’s figure out why these vacuum cleaners are so good.
Briefly:
Rich equipment in both cases
Design and ergonomics
Running time is excellent in modern models
Cleaning efficiency. Comparing two giants
They are convenient to use
Which one is suitable for whom?
Rich equipment in both cases
Let’s start with improving the box. Both devices come with an impressive array of accessories, but the distinguishing features are clear:
T30S PRO:
► Robot vacuum cleaner with dust container and water tank
► Omni Station base with the function of automatic cleaning, drying mops (wet wipes/mops) and refilling water.
► Two mops and replaceable filters
T30S COMBO:
► Robot vacuum cleaner with dust container (275 ml) and removable hand vacuum cleaner
► Combo Station base, which also cleans the dust bin and dries mops.
► Handheld vacuum cleaner with a set of attachments: for furniture, crevices and hair
If you’re looking specifically for versatility and manual cleaning, the COMBO benefits from its modularity. And if the emphasis is on automatic cleaning of large areas, FOR is your choice.
More details about everything below.
Design and ergonomics
ECOWAX T30S PRO
When you pick up the T30S PRO and T30S COMBO, you immediately notice their excellent build quality. However, the difference between the models becomes obvious after a few days of use.
T30S PRO is literally designed for lower furniture, its height does not exceed 10 cm. In my case, it easily cleaned under the sofa and bedside tables without getting stuck.
The T30S COMBO is taller (10.4 cm), and this sometimes makes it difficult to get a little into the same tight spaces, although for most basic conditions there is little to no difference.

Both devices are made of durable matte plastic. The material not only protects the device from scratches, but is also resistant to dust – I cleaned the cases a couple of times and they looked like new. The combination of black and silver colors gives it a premium feel, especially if the robot is in a prominent place.
About the docking station
This is where the T30S PRO wins. His omni-station is real harvesterwhich carries out all the maintenance: unloading garbage, washing mops, drying with hot air and refilling with water. This level of automation turned out to be a salvation: in a house with a constantly shedding husky, I completely forgot about manual grooming.
The tank volume in the vacuum cleaner is 55 ml, and in the docking station – 3 liters. There is no need to add water often.
The T30S COMBO has a more compact base, which makes it convenient for small apartments. It copes with unloading garbage and drying mops, but does not have the function of refilling water.

But built-in compartments for accessories A handheld vacuum cleaner is useful.
These should be installed in all vacuum cleaners, and I’m not even talking about robots now, but I’m also talking about vertical models.
Running time is excellent in modern models
ECOWAX T30S PRO
T30S PRO and T30S COMBO are equipped with powerful 6400 mAh batteries, which provide up to 180 minutes of operation in standard mode. This is exactly what the manufacturer says.
What to replace?
In my relatively small apartment, the T30S PRO dealt with the connector in one go and still had about 70% charge left. This includes wet cleaning and carpets, which automatically increase in power.
The T30S COMBO drained slightly faster in similar conditions as it frequently used the power function to clean carpets.

A separate advantage of COMBO is a handheld vacuum cleaner, which works autonomously up to 30 minutes. This time was enough to remove hair from the sofa and bed or dust from the cracks in the wood.
It turns out to be a 2-in-1 device. He will wash the floors himself and help with manual cleaning.
Cleaning efficiency. Comparing two giants

Let’s linger here for a bit. I’ll tell you about the features of each model in different modes.
Dry cleaning
• T30S PROPower: 11000 Pa power is great for cleaning all types of floors and carpets. Even in standard mode, it handled dust, hair, and crumbs. On carpets, the “proshka” traditionally increases power, deeply cleaning the pile in two passes.
• T30S COMBO: Its suction power also reaches 11000 Pa. The effect is comparable to PRO, it pulls out the smallest particles from carpets and leaves nothing behind, including wool, which is typical for some more inexpensive models.
Wet cleaning
Here the T30S PRO came out ahead thanks to its vibration mops. They easily cope with dried stains and stains. Even a coffee stain was removed the first time, which is rare with robot vacuum cleaners.
ECOWAX T30S PRO
The T30S COMBO wet cleaning system is suitable for everyday use. For heavy soiling it is required more passesbut the result is still the same – it just takes a little more time.
Working with carpets
Both models are equipped with a mop lifting device (by 9 mm), which allows you to wash carpets during wet cleaning. In my apartment, high-pile carpets were left clean and sunny, unattended by the aisles.
And if you really need it, you can turn on the carpet running mode in both devices via the app.
They are convenient to use
ECOWAX T30S PRO
The Ecovacs Home app was surprisingly user-friendly. Provide accurate room map models, include task of cleaning zones, suction power and humidity.
So, T30S PRO supports up to four cards, which is ideal for multi-storey buildings or, say, for a house or a summer house. The robot itself will determine where it is and begin cleaning correctly.
With the built-in handheld vacuum cleaner, the T30S COMBO lets you vacuum up furniture, cars, and even balconies while you do the robot work.
Both robots are quieter than 67 dB in standard mode, which is comparable to background noise. Even at high volume, the room was comfortable, and no one complained.
Triple filter system (includes built-in HEPA filter) effectively retains up to 99.9% of dust particles, which is especially cool. A useful option for allergy sufferers like me.

Navigation via LiDAR cameras and built-in AI (Where would we be without it in 2024? The whole system is called TrueEdge) help to accurately recognize changes. Both robots calmly drove through or around wires from adapters or dog toys.
Finally, these models can be controlled via Dynamic Island in iOS, as well as with Apple Watch.
Which one is suitable for whom?
The T30S PRO is the ideal choice for those who want maximum automation. Its Omni Station base takes care of all the maintenance of the robot, and vibrating mops limit deep wet cleaning.
T30S COMBO is the choice for those who need flexibility. A removable hand adapter opens up additional possibilities, including the function of cleaning furniture, cars and other areas, available for standard robotics.
By promotional code TPSRS9F2F8E0 You can get a discount of 8,000 rubles on a glass of a vacuum cleaner.
The choice will be yours: automation or versatility? One thing I can say for sure is that both models attract attention.
