Suction Power and Cleaning Features

The Tapo RV50 boasts a decent suction strength, reaching up to 15,000 Pa. Its central brush is designed to remove tangled hair, enhancing cleaning efficiency, while a secondary side brush helps cover more floor space. This vacuum is equipped with two mop heads that rotate 180 times per minute and exert a downward pressure of 8N. Additionally, the extendable mopping arm allows the robot to clean along edges and into corners effectively.

Advanced Self-Cleaning Dock

At the “advanced self-cleaning docking station,” users can detach the mops before the robot goes over carpets, preventing any moisture damage. After mopping, the dock automatically cleans the mop heads with hot water at 60°C (140°F) and dries them with air at 50°C (122°F) for future use. The robot navigates your home using lasers, detecting and avoiding obstacles along the way. It comes powered by a 5,200 mAh battery. In the Tapo app, users can set no-go zones, schedule cleaning times, and start the robot remotely. Additionally, this device is Matter compatible, allowing it to fit within different smart home systems.
