I started out. Loving this. The vacuum works much better than I was expecting, the mop feature is equal to a light mop. Mapping is great although I haven’t figured out how to put up physical barriers yet. Mostly my fault haven’t played with it enough. The bad news I’ve used it maybe 6 times and the rubber “sweep” on the brush is falling apart. I have shoulder length hair it got caught up in the sweeper and ripped it. Life expectancy on the roller is 50 hours I didn’t even get 10. For this reason I am thinking about returning and trying a different brand. I paid too much for it to replace the roller monthly.

great work on the carpet, easy to use, you program it and you no longer worry about cleaning your floors, great device, I love it!

I own the Neato Wifi which is 4 years old, and with testing I left the Neato plugged in for it’s normal weekly routine, then after the Neato finished, I immediately used the ECOVACS which picked up a lot of debris that the $1000 Neato missed or failed to pick up. I learned that the more a product cost doesn’t mean it’s better than the lower priced.

PROS: -Good suction and mopping -Great looking -Killer app and smarts CONS: -Sometimes doesn’t dock properly -Cleaning pad covers some sensors needed for mapping -Map sometimes gets randomly deleted. DESIGN: The Deebot Ozmo 930 is a great looking little bot. The body is all plastic, but the finish makes it look on par with many high-end vacuuming robots. The robot has a ton of sensors around the bottom of the bot and on the front, which helps guide it when cleaning. On top is the Smart Navi disk that it uses to produce a 2D floor map. Included in the box is the pad attachment that clicks on and off the bottom when using the mopping feature. This blocks some of the sensors needed to produce a floor map, which was a little frustrating so you will have to keep this off for at least the first cleaning cycle. The dirt bin is smaller than I would like but the bot seems to do a good job of stuffing it full of dust and lint. The bottom has two brushes for sweeping in dust and debris along with the pick-up roller. You can also swap this for a tangle free suction only solution for hair. Additionally, since this bot does mopping duty too, it has a tank for water that sits on the back that is easy to fill and install. Lastly, the handle on top is sturdy when you must carry it and sits flush along the top panel for a clean look. CLEANING: The Deebot Ozmo 930 has many of the intelligent cleaning capabilities you would expect from a modern-day robot vacuum. I’ll leave the app related features to the next section. First off, the bot does a great job of picking up dust and cleaning. Like other bots it can adjust depending on the surface increasing the suction for thicker carpet. Thanks to the mapping technology it can make a back and forth path like how a human would. I’ve been happy with the vacuuming capability – what is unique with the Ozmo 930 is the mopping capability. The bot comes equip with a water tank and mopping pad and it did a great job of spraying the floor and leaving little water behind. You can adjust the water spray in the app if it turns out to be too much. The mopping feature is an awesome idea that works well and means you don’t need two robots for different floor types. What does this bot do differently? Keeping reading to find out. APP+SMARTS: Along with all the cleaning capabilities of the robot, the app is among the most intelligent I have seen. It offers so many features which help heavily differentiate this bot from others. The great mapping technology in this bot is what enables all these smarts. From the first time you clean the Deebot Ozmo 930 begins producing a floor map which it retains. From the app you can see the map being created as it cleans. This is cool, but the selling points comes with what you can do with that map. You may have noticed that I have not discussed any barriers or wall accessories used to keep the bot out of certain areas. That’s because the Ozmo 930 doesn’t need any – from the map you are able to draw out your own virtual boundaries eliminating the need for extra hardware. The downside to this of course it that you need to let the bot run at least once before setting them up. Next, by taking the map data the Ozmo 930 can divide the map into rooms – you can later go in and names these. Did you make a mess in the kitchen – you can hop in the app to tell the bot to only clean that room. You wouldn’t vacuum your whole house if only the kitchen needed it right? Well, not the bot will do that too! You can also select custom areas to clean as well. The app does all the cool basic things as well like seeing the status, start/stop clean, and errors if the bot gets tangled. My only complaint with the app is since I live in the United States I would love to have square feet instead of meters – a small ask that could easily be addressed in an app updated. SUMMARY: This feature filled bot pulls many high-end capabilities down to a great price point. With a bunch of unique smarts and the double duty vacuuming and mopping capability this bot is perfect for anybody looking to make the jump with a product that is as comprehensive as they come.

I tend to become frustrated when setting up new technology if set-up instructions are inaccurate, vague or just plain wrong. Upon unboxing I encountered the first vague instruction: download the Ecovacs app; A search in the App Store yielded two apps by Ecovacs: Ecovacs Home and Deebot 2017...there was no "Ecovacs" App. I decided to try Ecovacs Home , completed the set up and then started the initial cleaning cycle for which there is nothing in the instructions or quick start guide that tells you what to expect. I didn't feel any exhaust coming out of the machine and it was so quiet that I figured it couldn't possibly be picking up anything...and I was right. I decided to look at the webs site and see if there was any information I may have missed and I was further frustrated by the fact that the website shows pictures of options within the app for my specific device that aren't in the app (that's two vague/unclear/wrong details). Finally I decided to go back through the app with a fine tooth comb; I found the additional help section where Brian S (Ecovacs Advisor) is giving a tip to leave the house while Deebot is mapping for the first time...which is odd because the instructions tell you to monitor the device in case there is an issue...that pretty much did it for me. This robot is listed at $629 on Ecovacs web site...for that kind of money, I think it's safe to expect CLEAR AND ACCURATE INSTRUCTIONS. I would also go so far as to expect consistently in the information provided in the trouble shooting guides...and finally I would expect a A VACUUM THAT ACTUALLY VACUUMS. This robot came home with me today...it will be going tomorrow. It took me less that 24 hrs to be totally turned off by this brand. Barely any suction at all, I observed it unable to pick up small pieces of paper several times, and after a "Full cleaning cycle" there was barely anything in the dustbin at all. This is my second robot vac, and ironically it exemplified the very concerns I had before I purchased my first robot vac which was a was a Neato Botvac D5 (GREAT VAC). I hopped on this for the mopping function, but that's trash too (won't even go there b/c this review would become a book by the time I was finished). When did $629 start getting you mediocrity? Would you pay $629 to someone for a job done less than well? The details matter with Tech, i.e. Tech his short for Technology which happens to be Technical which means specific, which Ecovac doesn't seem to comprehend quite yet. Avoid this brand.
