ECOVACS Robotics - DEEBOT T8+ Vacuum & Mop Robot with Advanced Laser Mapping and 3D Obstacle Detection & Avoidance - Grey

Best overall value IMO if you have primarily hardwood floors. This does well on area rugs, great on hardwood (vac/mop combo) It vacuums great--navigation is on par with other similar lidar based bots. I have a roborock as well and its just as good--mapping is fast and it creates rooms pretty easily. The empty station works well and the built in mop is decent. I think this has more value than AIVI cam detection--much cheaper and I threw cords in front of it and it avoided them pretty well. (see pics below) For the savings I bought the pro mop ($99) which performs better than any all in one vac/mop period. In pics below you can see unit rolled up past cord slightly--then detected it and went around.

This is my 4th ECOVAC debot. Each one has shown improvements. This is the best thus far. My biggest issue with past debots was bumping into furniture. This one does not bump into furniture .... unless the battery gets too low and it tries to return to the charging base quickly. The dual brushes that extended beyond the edge make perfect sweeps around the chair legs while the robot does not run into the chair legs. In the pic you can see the path the robot has taken. The circles are the robot going around the legs of chairs and tables. I have not used the mop feature, yet. I do recommend this robotic vacuum.

Ive had it for a week and its just ok. Pros Cleans well when it wants too Great map blueprints Alexa compatible App works well Cons Auto clean does not clean out filter well. I have to manually clean it out every other day. Gets stuck ALOT. I have to manually help it or clean the drop sensors non stop because it gets stuck for some dumb reason Robot doesnt listen to no clean zones. I put several in my house and it just ignores them and cleans the area non stop. It even gets stuck in them thnking the rest of the house is the no clean zone. Likes to over clean some spots and just skip others. It ignores my bedroom most of the time with the door wide open. Also hasa bad ha it of cleaning some areas religiously and then say house is clean.

The mapping of this robot vacuum is truly impressive with the lidar and other features it has. That's it, that's the only good thing. The mopping is subpar at best and can barely clean tiled floors. The bin itself in the robot vacuum is truly garbage. It has a really cheap plastic shroud that does something, no idea what, but it's made out of the cheapest plastic ever. The auto emptying holes on the vacuum are incredibly small and get clogged when it tries to auto empty the bin. Their suggestion for the bin getting clogged is to empty it by hand, which defeats the purpose of the auto empty station... When you contact tech support, you get very poor broken English that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It's a shame that the product itself is so bad compared to the mapping ability of the device. The app is slow to respond, slow to load, and overall just a clone of another app from a competitor minus it working properly.

I have to say that this thing is AMAZING!!!! I have had almost 3 weeks and let me tell you...... dust is noticeably less. Dog hair is less. Floors look amazing!!!! It has mapped our unties house with 2 runs. The LIDAR scanner on top is great and makes this things very intelligent! It has not bumped ANYTHING!!! My wife was dead set against it at first but now she can’t live without it! TRUST ME!!! You will not regret this purchase.

I had trouble to create the mapping but the customer service was very good and nice and patient to help me solve it! Thank you very much! Also taught me more skills! I bought it mainly for mopping. I like super clean and I don’t wear shoes inside the house. I realized it didn’t clean very well even I sprayed the cleaner on the floor before started. I tested it witha yellow cloth. But the floor looked very clean. Two days later, I used it back to back for four times. It was still dirty on the pad at the fourth time. (I didn’t mop for over a month before using it). Then I spin mopped very clean two days later. Next day I dry mopped with my swifter before using it. It’s still dirty. Then I used it everyday, every other day, every two days. It can maintain cleanliness within 1-3 days, with my clean bare feet. I haven’t tried more than 3 days yet. I normally used mopping twice, third (more) wetness, today I stopped the robot in the mid process and washed the cloth and then resumed it. I found doing this made the floor cleaner! The pad at the end wasn’t that dirty. Now I understand how to clean the floor better. Start with not too dirty floor. Wash the pad like at least every 30 mins, depends on how dirty the floor is. Spot clean first if too dirty. Hope it helps everyone who wants super clean floor. I can lie on the floor doing exercise everyday now. I believe this machine was designed to mop very often for bare feet at home. The dirt on the pad as the last attached picture is nothing if you put it in a bucket of water. By the way, I was amazed by how precise the mapping skills was! Fantastic! Lastly, I bought it on sale. Then received an email from Best Buy that was out of stock! Then the store called me for available and ready for pick up?! I was disappointed and then excited. Thank you very much for South Torrance store. Sorry, forgot the staff name. He gave me back the discount price. He even helped me to put it in my trunk. It was very very heavy. Thanks a lot! Thank you Best Buy! Great service!

I did a lot of research before purchasing. I think a lot of these reviews need to understand the limitations of robot vacuums that also mop. This thing isn’t going to scrub your floors. However with a few tweaks, it works great. There’s a Facebook group called “deebot tips and tricks” that helped a ton with these tweaks. One being to ditch the paper or reusable mopping pad that comes with the unit and use the “O Cedar Pro Mist” reusable pad (not the pro mist max) instead. Makes a great deal of difference with the mopping ability. Also, soaking the pad in water helps out a ton too. It’s also helpful BEFORE mapping to turn on “continuous cleaning” and “advanced mode”. A lot of people have reported issues with mapping but if you turn on these features prior to mapping it helps out a lot. That Facebook group also has ways of recovering lost maps as well. The vacuuming part of this robot works great and it has plenty of features. The auto empty works great even in a household with pets but i do recommend scheduling it to run often so it doesn’t build up too much. I will update if anything changes

I owned a bobsweep sweeper and it wasn’t that great because it kept getting stuck everywhere. I bought this one and it is absolutely amazing. This thing never gets stuck and it doesn’t an absolutely amazing job!
