Trouver K30: 180° tilt angle, no blind spots, fast drying, 18,000 Pa!

The Trouver K30 upright wet/dry vacuum, priced between $320 and $400, boasts the ability to mop horizontally, an automatic suction boost mode that reaches 18,000 Pa, a dual-sided roller, and a quick-dry function for the roller using hot air. These are among the most sought-after features a wet/dry vacuum cleaner should have in 2025. Below, I'll thoroughly test the Trouver K30, highlight its pros and cons, and then share my personal opinion. Let's get started!

Equipment

Let's start with the package contents. The wet/dry vacuum cleaner arrived in a branded box like this:

The package includes:

1. Main block.
2. Removable handle.
3. Base for charging, self-cleaning and drying the vacuum cleaner.
4. Spare roller.
5. Spare HEPA filter.
6. Brush for cleaning the tank and cleaning module.
7. Branded cleaning product.
8. And the operating instructions translated into Russian.

The kit is well-equipped! It includes all the necessary spare parts and even a cleaning solution to improve cleaning results. That's a plus!

Appearance

Now let's look at how the Trouver K30 works. It's designed in a familiar way: clean water is supplied to the roller as it rotates, after which the waste water is collected by scrapers and sucked into the dirty water tank.

The roller extends to the edge of the body on both sides, which allows for better cleaning of the area along walls and furniture.

The top cover is removable. The roller is removed from the side; its structure is familiar – made of soft bristles. The roller is held in place by a cross-shaped holder, similar to the new Dreame H-series products.

Behind the roller there is a plastic comb for untangling tangled hair and fur, as well as scraping debris from the surface of the roller, a rubber scraper for collecting residual liquid from the floor and a suction hole.

Above the cleaning module are the water tanks. Both are combined in a single housing mounted at the rear. The clean water tank holds 600 ml. The dirty water filtration system includes a coarse filter, HEPA filter, and mesh. Electronic water level sensors are located underneath. The dirty water tank holds 500 ml when using the wet/dry vacuum cleaner vertically, and 350 ml when using it horizontally.

The Trouver K30 is controlled by buttons on the handle. These buttons turn the power on/off, switch operating modes, and initiate the self-cleaning function. There are four operating modes: automatic, ultra, maximum, and a dry-vacuum mode. In automatic mode, the Trouver K30 automatically adjusts suction power based on how dirty the floor is.

All information is displayed on an informative LED display. Everything is intuitive, and the vacuum cleaner also features a Russian-language voice assistant.

The horizontal floor cleaning function deserves special attention. Folding it 180 degrees allows you to clean floors in gaps up to 14 cm high. I'll just note that the maximum setting is not available in the horizontal position. The other three modes are active, so the suction remains active.

The docking station charges the vacuum cleaner, self-cleans, and dries the roller with hot air heated to 60 degrees Celsius. Drying is fast, removing all residual moisture from the roller in just 30 minutes.

The pros and cons of this design will be discussed during the final review. Let's move on!

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Trouver K30, as stated by the manufacturer, are displayed on the screen:

• Battery: Li-Ion, 2600 mAh
• Power consumption: 300 W
• Suction power: up to 18,000 Pa
• Working time: up to 30 min
• Clean water tank: 600 ml
• Dirty water tank: 500 ml
• Noise level: 73.5-75.5 dB

I personally tested the noise level and found it to be between 73.5 and 75.5 dB, which is in line with similar devices.

Testing

A detailed video review with all tests has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Well, finally, the tests are in! The Trouver K30 handles daily floor cleaning with ease—both laminate and tile. It leaves no streaks, and it's safe for delicate surfaces, too, if used correctly.

The vacuum cleaner not only cleans floors but also picks up liquids. In my case, it passed my durability test with flying colors—an egg and flour mixture disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, the Trouver K30 perfectly removes even slightly dried-on dirt. And here's what we see: the floor is clean, without any marks or streaks.

Moreover, thanks to the roller extending out from both sides of the body, the device is capable of cleaning dirt closer to baseboards and furniture. In reality, the blind zone is approximately 6 mm, while most similar devices have a blind zone of approximately 15-20 mm. Still, the company's engineers still have room for improvement if they so desire.

This wet/dry vacuum cleaner was able to remove tough, dried-on coffee and sauce stains. As with similar products, it took some time to remove the sauce stains. In my case, it took 4.5 minutes to remove all the main stains using the included cleaning solution. This is an excellent result. Many similar products take 8 to 10 minutes to complete this task.

In addition, the washing vacuum cleaner in question can also be used for dry cleaning.

I'm surprised that the roller can even pick up large debris like litter pellets. All debris is collected from the stand, including in the corners and along the baseboards. That's a plus!

Since this is a wet/dry vacuum cleaner, using it for carpet cleaning isn't entirely practical. However, it's possible if you don't add water to the tank or select the liquid mode—that is, simply vacuuming debris without adding water. Despite its fluffy texture, the roller handles pet hair and other debris on low-pile carpet.

The Trouver K30 isn't suitable for use on fluffy carpets due to the structure of its roller. While it can still pick up debris on the surface, it doesn't dislodge it from the pile like traditional upright dry vacuums, as demonstrated by our testing.

Another caveat: debris can clog the filtration system and suction channel. Without water, the suction system doesn't work properly, and the vacuum cleaner is designed specifically for cleaning floors.

Overall, I still recommend cleaning carpets with a regular upright vacuum cleaner, or entrusting this task to a robotic vacuum cleaner of suitable design and power. Even the Trouver line offers suitable options for both robotic and upright vacuums.

After all the tests, the self-cleaning performance of the wet/dry vacuum cleaner was tested separately. After scrubbing away tough stains and running the self-cleaning function, the roller was very clean. The area behind the roller was also clean.

After the egg collection test, both the roller and the area behind it were clean. After washing the floor under normal household conditions and running the self-cleaning function on the base, everything was again clean. This machine's self-cleaning function is well-implemented. And I'd like to point out that during self-cleaning, the roller rotates in different directions alternately, improving the cleaning quality.

Drying is actually effective and very fast. This is another advantage of the vacuum cleaner. But there is a catch. The roller makes a slight noise when self-cleaning. At least that's what happened to me. Apparently, there are design nuances that allow for better cleaning.

Personal opinion

The Trouver K30 upright wet/dry vacuum cleaner was thoroughly reviewed and tested. I'll highlight the pros and cons I discovered, and then share my personal opinion. I liked the following:

1. Horizontal floor cleaning is supported thanks to the vacuum cleaner being able to be folded out 180 degrees.
2. Capable of removing difficult stains faster than its analogues.
3. The roller extends to the edge of the body on both sides to clean the floor closer to baseboards and furniture.
4. High-quality self-cleaning roller with alternating change of rotation direction.
5. Quick drying of the roller with hot air.
6. High suction power, judging by the stated characteristics.
7. Automatic power increase mode when contamination is detected.
8. High-quality waste collection on hard surfaces and low-pile carpets.
9. Informative display on the body.
10. Built-in voice assistant.
11. Good kit, which includes spare consumables and branded cleaning agent.
12. Ergonomic design and stylish execution.
13. Availability of warranty and service.

Among the disadvantages I would highlight:

1. There is still a blind zone between the edge of the roller and the baseboard, although it is smaller than with many similar products.
2. Non-removable battery.
3. Not suitable for cleaning medium pile carpets.
4. There is no way to regulate the water supply level.
5. A little noise when the roller on the base cleans itself.

Overall, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, and almost all the criticisms are common to wet/dry vacuum cleaners. I think this model is a success, as it has demonstrated high efficiency and is equipped with virtually all the latest features. If it also included a light for the cleaning area and an automatic detergent dispenser, it would be a great alternative. Dreame H13 Pro, a review of which is also available on the website.

So, if the Trouver K30 interests you, I see no reason not to recommend it. For under $300, it's definitely one of the best options!

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
