CONCLUSION

   I haven't had the chance of using and testing many cordless vacuum cleaners to date (only the P10 by Proscenic, JV65 by Jimmy and the V8 Absolute by Dyson have reached my hands with the last only for a single day trial) but even so the X30 Pro with its partial aluminum body looks and feels like a premium product unlike any of those. On top of that its suction performance is truly staggering and rivals even what i get from regular wall powered vacuum models. Out of the three available suction modes it's clear that the mid one offers the best performance/battery life ratio but for certain uses (pet hair included) even the low mode is in some cases sufficient and as you can see from the charts you can use the X30 Pro for up to just over two hours at that setting. The mopping function is as expected very basic but it does achieve a good level of cleaning similar to what we get from most robot vacuums. I also liked the color OLED screen even though i have to admit that I’d have preferred something more similar to what the Proscenic P10 model has (perhaps an OLED screen at the rear with touch capability instead of having to use buttons?). The same goes for the magnetic wall charging mount since neither its material (plastic) nor its color (white) seem to fit the X30 Pro (on the bright side ROIDMI has used a very effective sticker, so much that a piece of the drywall actually came out with it when i decided to re-locate the vacuum). The only two drawbacks of the ROIDMI X30 Pro which i can think of are it's somewhat small dust bin (0.55l) and the weight of the main body (1660g) and even though it's not that much of a difference compared to let’s say the 1503g of the Proscenic P10 model still you can feel it when using the vacuum. Of course, this is clearly due to the aluminum used, the more powerful brushless motor and the larger battery pack so at least in my book the extra weight is well justified.

   Since the X30 Pro / NEX 2 Pro cordless vacuum cleaner was on a crowdfunding campaign until roughly a month ago and most of the current stock has gone as expected to their backers, availability is very low so currently it’s sold at Banggood for a price of USD529.99/448.24Euros (prices should drop even if just by a little as availability gets better). Now the above price would be considered as high if the X30 Pro / NEX 2 Pro was the most expensive one in the market, which is clearly not since there are models that actually cost even more (and offer less). Still yes, the X30 Pro / NEX 2 Pro cordless vacuum cleaner is far from what most people would consider affordable but it delivers exactly what ROIDMI advertises it for and for that alone it deserves our Platinum Award.
