The Tapo RV50 Omni robotic vacuum is a new model from the tech brand that draws inspiration from one of its pro models, but keeps a strong focus on accessibility to help widen consumer interest. The vacuum features 12,000Pa of suction power, which works with the anti-tangle brush system to automatically remove hair and debris to prevent it from clogging with regular use. The unit features the same chassis, LiDAR navigation and self-cleaning dock that's found with the brand's RV50 Pro Omni with only a handful of feature omissions to achieve the right price point to maximize interest from shoppers.
The Tapo RV50 Omni robotic vacuum is priced at £499.99 and will launch July 31, 2026 but is being promoted with a £319.99 introductory price to position it well below the aforementioned Pro model to maximize affordability.
