Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni Review
The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni offers quite a bit for its mid-range price, including a self-cleaning, self-draining base and an anti-tangle brush. While the vacuum’s performance impressed on hard floors and was adequate on carpets, its mopping ability fell short compared to similarly priced competitors, some of which offer better results for less.

Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni: Introduction
- Type: Robot vacuum cleaner with mop
- cosmic union: Self-cleaning and self-emptying spring
- Navigation system: LiDAR
Due to its price, the Deebot N30 Omni is considered something of a mid-range product, but the progression in technology when it comes to robot cleaners in recent years means that you’re getting a lot of cutting-edge features, for example. a price. -label that would have cost twice as much just a couple of years ago.
Technology like a 10,000 Pa suction rating, ZeroTangle Anti-Tangle 2.0, hot water mop washing, and a TruEdge Adaptive Edge mop system.
Ecovacs has been a pioneer in the robotic mop, being one of the first brands to introduce rotating microfiber pads for deeper cleaning.

However, with the Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni, it is clear that the market has evolved.
The Deebot N30 Omni is part of a super-crowded space and faces stiff competition from brands that have refined their offerings to deliver better overall performance.
So while there’s nothing particularly “wrong” about the N30 that should deter you from purchasing it, you may want to look at similarly priced options, such as the Eufy X10 Pro Omni, the Roborock Q Revo Slim, or the Dreame L40 Ultra, all which performed better in our tests.
Read on for our full Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni review.
Design and components
- Self-cleaning and self-emptying spring
- Camera-based obstacle avoidance
- Anti-tangle brush design
As mentioned in the introduction above, the Deebot N30 Omni highlights how advanced robot vacuum cleaners have become.
This mid-range model includes a docking station that not only empties the robot’s trash can, but also refills its water tank and washes its scrubbing pads – features that, until a couple of years ago, were only available on the high-end models.
And it’s not just basic mop cleaning, you also get a base with 60°C hot water mop wash, plus 40°C hot air drying, so you never have to deal with the dreaded odour. damp.

Upstairs you will find two water tanks; One tank (3.5 liters) stores clean water, while the other (3 liters) collects dirty water.
The base also allows you to add detergent, although none is included in the box, which is a bit annoying.

The powder is emptied into 2.6-liter disposable bags that Ecovacs says can last up to 75 days. Replacement bags cost around $20 / £20 for a pack of three.

The Deebot N30 itself has a fairly standard design, with a LiDAR dome on top for navigation and mapping, as well as a front-facing sensor for obstacle detection.
Underneath, there is an anti-tangle carpet brush, a single-sided sweeper, and two mopping pads; one of which extends for corner cleaning.

These pads are raised 9mm off the floor to avoid low-pile carpets, but cannot be removed completely, making thick carpets a challenge. In our US test lab, there was extremely shag carpet and the cleaning maps were definitely in constant contact.
That long mat also caused problems for the N30 to find its footing, although those problems were eradicated by placing the stand on our trusty brand-name mat or a hard floor surface.
The application and features.
Everything is controlled through the Ecovacs app, which is quite comprehensive and comparable in terms of features to heavy hitters like Roborock. However, it is a bit cluttered with some of the usual coupon and community based nonsense that is often the case with Chinese brands.

When I first paired the N30, I had major problems with a mandatory firmware app that kept getting stuck and rebooting. It finally worked, but it took over 24 hours to update and I couldn’t use the robot in that time.
Once you’ve synced everything to the app, you’ll be prompted to create a map before anything else.
Creating and managing maps is very similar to what we’ve seen from the big names in the industry, like Roborock and Dreame.
You can merge or split rooms, give rooms names, create no-go zones, and much more.

Cleaning modes are extensive, with options for vacuum only, mop only or a combination of both, and there are also four vacuum modes (quiet, standard, strong or maximum), three water flow modes and a three-mode option cleaning. speeds (fast, standard or full), plus you can choose a single or double pass for cleaning.
You can also modify settings such as suction power for carpets, areas to avoid, and edge cleaning behavior, adapting the robot to different cleaning scenarios.
If you want, you can have the extendable mop constantly out, although I found that it worked when I needed to extend its reach on its own.

You can also use the maps saved in the app to create different cleaning methods for different rooms.
In the app you can also manually initiate base actions, such as cleaning and mopping, and there’s also a Solid Floor Cleaner mode, which uses the solid detergent option for a deeper mopping application.

You also have complete programming flexibility, with the ability to create custom scenarios.
These scenarios allow you to choose which rooms to clean and which cleaning modes to use, perfect for quick cleans, like after meals, or for deeper cleans if the dog has muddy paws all over the hallway… again.
Performance
- Fought with tough stains
- Good suction on hard floors.
- Decent obstacle avoidance

During testing, the N30 Omni navigated quite well, avoiding most obstacles, although it occasionally collided with objects near its base.
On carpets, it handled surface dirt reasonably well, removing most of the flour in Max mode after two passes with its 10,000 Pa suction.
However, it had problems with embedded debris, requiring additional passes to achieve only a moderate improvement.
Performance on hard floors was better, with the N30 Omni efficiently picking up loose dirt like dried mud or kitchen crumbs.
Edge cleaning, with the help of the extendable mop pad, was quite good, although there were some stains on wet spills, below the Roborock Qrevo Slim and Dreame L40 Ultra.
Scrubbing tests on dry stains further revealed its limitations. Coffee and wine stains took several passes to remove (the image below is after two passes), and tougher marks like ketchup and mud proved too difficult.

While spin mops helped, they lacked the pressure or cleaning power of their main rivals to achieve a truly sparkling clean.

Vacuuming again and picking up hair was excellent, with no tangles during testing.
Noise levels were a comfortable 62.9 dB, making it easy to work in the same room.
Battery life, estimated at up to 320 minutes on low power, easily covered one step of our fairly large (1,815 square feet) US test lab ground floor plan; and that was a combination of deep vacuuming carpets and mopping tiled areas.
Final thoughts
The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni offers solid features and good value for money, but it struggles to stand out in a crowded market.
While vacuuming is decent, mopping performance lags behind models like the Eufy X10 Omni and Dreame L40 Ultra, both of which offer better overall cleaning.

how we test
When we publish our reviews, you can be sure that they are the result of “living with” long-term testing.
Cleaning robots typically live within an ecosystem or range of products that supposedly all work in harmony. And they are designed to offer a variety of different cleaning options. It is therefore impossible to use a robot cleaner for a week and give a verdict.
Because we test the smart home kit all day, every day, we know what matters and how a particular smart cleaning machine compares to alternatives you might also be considering.
Our reviews are complete, objective and fair, and of course, we are never paid directly to review a device.
