Tapo RV30 MAX Plus Robot Vacuum vs Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL

The Tapo RV30 MAX Plus is the stronger pick for most homes. It vacuums and mops in one run, maps with LiDAR, and empties into a sealed bag, so you touch dirt less often. The Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL is a solid carpet vacuum with a self-cleaning brushroll and a bagless base, but it does not mop and its navigation is less precise. Owners rate the Tapo higher, though the Shark has far more reviews and a longer track record.

• Choose the Tapo RV30 MAX Plus if you want vacuuming and mopping from one robot, precise LiDAR mapping, and a sealed bag that keeps dust out of the air.
• Choose the Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL if carpet is your main floor, you want a bagless base with nothing to buy, and you prefer a self-cleaning brushroll for hair.
