Price history
ILIFE A30 Pro specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the store 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 3.8 in of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 11.2 in wide and 5.7 in deep.
Suction and brushes 2 facts
- Suction power
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
- Carpet detection
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.
- detects carpet and boosts suction
Mopping 2 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Water tank in the robot
How much clean water the robot carries. It sets how long it mops before a refill, which a dock does by itself.
- 200 ml
Dock 5 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- no
- Dust bag capacity
How much the dust bag in the dock holds.
- 2.5 l
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 49 days
- Dock size (w × d × h)
The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.
- 11.2 × 5.7 × 10 in (28.5 × 14.5 × 25.3 cm)
Navigation and obstacles 4 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognizes more.
- LiDAR turret
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 0.6 in (15 mm)
- No-go zones
How you keep the robot out of a place: a zone you draw in the app, a virtual wall or a magnetic strip on the floor.
- zones in the app
- Stair-edge sensors
Sensors under the robot that see a drop, so it stops at the top of a staircase instead of falling down it.
- yes
Robot 3 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 3.7 in (9.5 cm)
- Robot diameter
How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.
- 13 in (33 cm)
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with a self-emptying dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 200 ml
Battery 1 fact
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 180 min
Smart features and warranty 1 fact
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa, Google Assistant
