ILIFE A30 Pro specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Consumables: a 2.5 l dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 49 days.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 10 cm of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 29 cm wide and 15 cm deep.

10,000 Pa on this model
Lowest
600 Pa Highest
42,000 Pa Middle

When it matters

- Pet hair, sand and crumbs trodden into fibres.
- On hard floors the gain from a higher figure is small: the dust lies on top.
Source: iliferobot.com · checked on 26 Sept
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 10,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
When it matters
- Long hair and pet hair, which wrap around a bristle brush.
- Homes where you would rather not cut hair off the brush.
- Short hair and few pets hardly tangle anyway.

- no (assumed)
- Extending side brush
When it matters

- Mopping in a home with rugs, which have to stay dry.
- Without carpets or rugs it has nothing to detect.

- detects carpet and boosts suction
Mopping 4 facts
- Mop type
When it matters
- Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
- Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
- If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.

- Homes with many corners and table legs.
- In open rooms the strip it leaves along the wall is small.

When it matters
- Homes with carpets or rugs that should stay dry.

Dock 5 facts
- Empties the dust bin
When it matters
