After two months of daily use with my Tapo RV20 Max, I can confidently say this robot vacuum is a game-changer for pet owners and busy households. That 5300Pa suction isn't just marketing fluff - it once sucked up an entire bowl of spilled cereal without breaking stride (RIP my breakfast).

The real MVP feature? That 3.27" profile. Watching it disappear under my impossibly low IKEA couch to retrieve months' worth of dust bunnies felt like witnessing black magic. The LiDAR navigation is impressively precise - no more drunken Roomba-style bumping into walls at 3AM.

Now for the messy truth: While the mop function works fine for light maintenance, it's not replacing your deep cleans. And that '97% dust pickup' claim? Accurate on hard floors, but you'll want to manually vacuum high-pile rugs occasionally. The app's no-go zones are brilliant...when they work. My unit occasionally develops amnesia about carpeted areas.

Pro tip from experience: Empty the bin after every session unless you enjoy playing 'find the smell' in your living room. Pet hair capacity is decent but not infinite - my two shedding machines proved that quickly.

At its price point, the RV20 Max delivers exceptional value despite minor quirks. Just don't expect miracles from the mop, and maybe keep your old vacuum for backup deep cleans.
