The Ecovac vacuum has changed how we cleaned our house. I have had robotic vacuums since the 20/10 from low models to high-end models, and this has been a delight to use.
It’s easy - i’m not joking, nor am I lying from unboxing to cleaning the start button, the Eco vac has made it seamless and easy. When the box was first delivered, I couldn’t believe that what I thought was a large vacuum is a large vacuum fit in this box. It was perfectly packaged with extra foam and disassembled to be easily put back together after five minutes, maybe less of setting it up physically and through the app step-by-step process we were ready to roll.
The app allowed me to map my house first before cleaning and it actually cleaned it while it was mapping the house I live in a rancher so I only need one floor to be scanned, but the vac allows you to save up to three rooms in case you live on multiple floors and would like to bring the vacuum around. Since set up, I literally have had to put zero effort in managing this system. The Eco that goes around cleans my house. It’s able to jump up on and over small thresholds, cords, and other small obstacles. Now I can’t jump over like a toy, but I can fix over something like a doorway, threshold, jam, or power, cord, and things of that size and nature.
The vacuum relies on lidar technology to map your home understand it surroundings and improve its performance. As I mentioned with the set up after one time of map in the house, it essentially knew everything. I’ve only needed to improve the map one time through the app which allows you to combine rooms if the vacuum accidentally thinks one room is multiple rooms or if you need to make boundaries or other adjustments. It was honestly at once and done process however I think because the lidar technology is so well done, including with the app that this vacuum is amazing and one of the best in the market. The lidar technology if you do not know what is 3-D mapping of your home. On top of the vacuum, there is circular cover, which sticks out and houses the lidar system. It’s design was also thought of as it has not got caught on any of my pieces of furniture or items around the house. The housing was put low enough that I can go under almost every single cabinet that I have.
I never used any mop system that came with a robotic vacuum until now. From unboxing I knew this one was built different. It comes with two removal, washable pads, and a tank that swaps out from your typical and normal vacuum system, but what’s nice is that it doesn’t lose the vacuum functionality so it’s still vacuums and then mop your floors. Once you fill the tank up, I used warm water and put a clean pad on. I said it in my kitchen floor and began cleaning my kitchen. It shakes the pad vigorously which you can adjust from low to high. I leave it on high and it does a great job While only using water. Once it was done cleaning my floor it was better than if I mopped it, which I just did a few days ago.
The vacuum also knows not to use the mopping system on carpets at first mine had it struggled with that as it was trying to mop the floor of my dining room, which is carpet, but it has not done this again and has avoided mopping the carpet since.
As I previously noted, the app is amazing from Ecovac. Downloadable on the App Store and Google play store this is a well made application that you will enjoy using while keeping your house clean. The app allows you to see your full mapping of your home and different floors. It allows you to set up schedules and within the schedule section you can select a variety of options like which areas you want the home cleaned at one time and you can set a variety of these or you could just set up a general cleaning schedule and put auto and it will go and clean everything for you without any more thought. As I said prior, you can save up to three different maps, which helps with different floors or different levels of your home. There’s a variety of different settings and options. You can change a lot of which have an auto function to again make things easy. The most important feature with this app is that you can access it from anywhere you do not have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi system. I can be at work and realize oh I forgot to vacuum the living room and click start from my car, work or anywhere.
The final highlight is how the system recharges empties itself and the bagless station. There is a setting in the app called auto empty which allows the vacuum to continuously go back to the station empty and go back to cleaning and resume exactly where it left off. Note that when I was setting up my vacuum, I noticed that this feature was off. Maybe it was just me, but I would highly recommend making sure this feature is turned on. The device will also go back to the Station if it needs to charge and resume cleaning, but I have noticed that this vacuum has cleaned my entire house and has gone back to the station. I checked the app and my vacuum is still in the 70 to 80% battery range. The station is great one click button and you remove the backless container covered over a trash bin click another button. It empties close it up and put it back in the Station. You’re done no more bags on a smart robotic vacuum.
After many days of use, I can say that this is hands-down, one of the best smart and bagless robotic vacuums on the market. The Ecovac is efficient, easy and effortless, which I can say in confidence.
