Ecovacs Deebot T30S

Research Notes (December 2025)

Important Model Clarification: After extensive searching across official Ecovacs channels, Amazon, Best Buy, retail databases, and user forums, the “Deebot T30 Plus” or “TEO Plus” does not appear as a current official product from Ecovacs as of December 2025. References to “T30 Plus” appear only in:

• Third-party spare parts listings (AliExpress, Walmart)
• Possibly a regional/discontinued variant
• Potentially an older generation model or rebranding

Most Likely Scenarios: You may be referring to one of these current T30 family models:

• Deebot T30 Omni (first-generation with station; being phased out)
• Deebot T30S (newest generation, base model – most popular)
• Deebot T30S Pro (newest with AI features and 6400mAh battery)
• Deebot T30S Combo/Combo Complete (with handheld vacuum)
