Ecovacs T30S Combo review: A solid starter package

Ecovacs makes some sacrifices in combining a robot vacuum and a stick vacuum into a single unit with the T30s, but overall it promises great value.

Pros

  • Intelligently designed
  • Robust cleaning with powerful suction
  • Two cleaners for the price of one!

Cons

  • Repeated mapping issues
  • Anti-tangle brush is a myth
  • Obstacle avoidance a bit hit and miss

I’m a big fan of robot vacuums, but they can’t replace a regular vacuum completely. Even the best robot vacuum can’t vacuum your car or effectively clean cobwebs from behind your furniture.

That makes the T30S combo from Ecovacs such an enticing product. If you’re moving out of home for the first time, or you need to replace your old stick vacuum and get your first robot vac, this is a well-priced option worth considering.

But it’s far from perfect. The stick vacuum itself feels underpowered compared to standalone models, and the mapping on the robot vacuum caused me a whole heap of grief over the course of this review.

But I was able to overcome those challenges, eventually. And given how compact and well-designed the Ecovacs Deebot T30S combo, it’s a solid option for anyone looking for a vacuuming solution for their first home.
