Overview
The A30 Pro is one of the cheapest lidar robots that comes with a self-emptying station. Vacuum Wars measured excellent suction and airflow, 100% pet hair pickup and little hair tangling, but found the mopping weak and the small 200 ml bin limiting. There is no obstacle avoidance, and the ILIFE app had the worst user ratings Vacuum Wars has recorded for a live robot vacuum app. ILIFE has since raised the stated suction from 5,000 Pa to 10,000 Pa on its own page without renaming the model, and sells the dockless A30s alongside it. The step-up model with a larger dust bag is the T20s.
