ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner, with Self Empty Station, 2600Pa Suction, Laser Based LiDAR Navigation, Carpet Detection, Multi Floor Mapping, Personalized Cleaning

It requires maintenance, especially if you use it to mop. I have two big pit bulls one is a German shepherd pit bull mix and he sheds a lot!!!! This thing keeps our floors spic and span and smelling great!!! The carpets are always clean too! But I find myself emptying and refilling the water compartments almost every other day. I run this vacuum constantly, however. It does not bother my dogs. Even on full power with the loud noise. Both my dogs are free to roam indoors and out to our big backyard. There is about 2,650 sqft to clean. It gets the job done! We don’t have to clean around the house as much! But we do need to clean and maintain the robot, which is a small ask. I’ve replaced the washing pads and the brushes and filters and emptied the bins about once a month. Also cleaned the water and scrubbed in the back of the compartment of the robot. I highly recommend this robot vacuum but it only works well if you maintain it and take care of it! Don’t just set it and forget it, inspect it after every use and make sure the bags don’t have to be emptied or the water compartments changed and that nothing is stuck in it, etc. we’ve had this vacuum for about a year now, this vacuum is well worth the purchase!Update: we have been using about a half cup of shark vacuums cleaner solution in water for our mop. It is lavender scent and works great! It is only $9 and less than half the price with more oz of solution than the Omni recommended brand. You can find it here.https://a.co/d/641Mw1bThe vacuum does take a long time to charge so it can take an entire day to clean 2,400 sq ft. We usually split up rooms so half the house in one day and the other half the other day.

This thing is great. (The Deebot Ecovacs X1 omni). First of all, in response to another review, you can absolutely schedule tasks in the app [to an absurdly high degree]. I have my ecobot omni wake up every morning at 745 AM to clean three rooms, and each room has a customizable level of intensity for the mopping and the vacuuming. [Kitchen is on max everything, hallway on standard vacuum but heavy mop, etc]. You choose the order the rooms are cleaned in, and how thoroughly. It's great. The app is not always the easiest to navigate, but the option to schedule tasks is there. Just go to AUTO mode in the app [as opposed to custom and area] and scroll down.Additionally, in response to another review, this robot is capable of resuming a task if it needs to stop and re-charge. However, you do have to go into settings to enable this feature. It's not on by default.Third, if you have any issues with this thing -- like it can't find the base station -- be sure to reset both the robot [flip the switch on the top, under the cover] and the base station [by unplugging it and plugging back in]. Fixes it for me.Anyway, here's my review. Coming from a Roomba j7 and Braava Jet M3, there's many massive positives:-Incredibly good at avoiding obstacles/wires and understanding its place in the house for routing. It doesn't have to bump into everything like my roomba! It also navigates back to the base station very intelligently.-Didn't take long to map the whole house fairly accurately with LIDAR. There were some inaccurate rooms but it was easy to fix with the map editor in the app.-Because it uses LIDAR to avoid obstacles and navigate, it works fine without the lights on. It also does not need a light on the robot.-App is very functional. Love that I can customize the intensity of mopping/vacuuming by room, select specific areas to clean [not just rooms, but areas within rooms using the app], adjust duration of heat-drying the mop pads, etc. I can also clearly specify keep-out zones, keep-out boundary lines, and set custom areas for cleaning if needed [ie, more specific zones than an individual room]. BUT -- Keep out zones were not really needed. I was worried it would get stuck on the jumble of wires behind my sofa, but every time it just sees them and avoids them.-It alerts you when the clean water/dirty water is low, using spoken voice.-You can see the exact path your robot took when cleaning is done, and while it's cleaning, traced in the app. Check out my attached screenshot. It shows a white trace of the robot's exact path in cleaning three rooms. Note the kitchen got extra treatment, and the hallway and living room got one pass, as I instructed.-Ability to see video feed from robot, and speak through it like a radio, is a neat security feature. Videos can even be saved.-Aesthetically, the base station and the ecovacs itself look very slick. It's like an apple product.-Magnetic design makes removing pieces/brushes super easy for replacement when needed.-It hot air drys the wet mops after cleaning! Can customize this to take 2 to 4 hours.-Great suction power, especially on the Max+ mode (although it's quite loud)..-Good drop sensors to prevent falling off a cliff in your house.-easy to order replacement parts, both official and cheaper unofficial versions. i actually prefer some of the cheaper, unofficial mop pads more..-Love the voice assist. Don't need to pair it to a phone or anything. Just say, OK YIKO and tell it what to do. You can even say 'clean near me' and it will find you and start cleaning there. It occassionally thinks I said OK YIKO when I did not, but no big deal.Some downsides, which I view as minor:-Battery takes a long time to charge. I'd say I can have it running on max power for around 2 hours before it needs around 5-7 hours to charge. Fortunately it can clean most of my house in 2 hours, although it's a small house.-You have to occasionally clean the base station. Not often, maybe once a month. On the bright side, there is a great maintenance video on YouTube that explains exactly how to do this (as well as how to maintain every other part on the robot) and it's very straightforward and easy. The video is called "06 Deebot X1 OMNI Clean & Maintenance." I'd estimate it takes about 10 minutes to do all the required maintenance every month. You basically just scrub everything down and swap the pads/brushes/bag/filter if needed. The app reminds you of all this and keeps track.-Although the clean and dirty water tanks are each quite big, like 4L, I still find I have to empty /refill them once every couple of days (If I'm cleaning the house each day).-Every couple months or so, it bugs out in some way. Maybe it can't find the base station or gets lost etc. Not a big deal. A quick reset fixes it.-The language translations to English, and the related issues, are a bit confusing. For example, I can label a room a "Tatami" on my map, but not a "foyer." Additionally, emails I receive from Ecovacs, and the instruction manuals, have some obvious grammar errors. This is a pretty minor downside because it never really interferes with the usage of the product, but they should update this for clarity. It's also very out of place on an expensive product like this.Overall, love this thing. LIDAR robots are the future.

Do you hate vacuuming and mopping? Well you will learn to love it again when you realize how little time it takes compared to constantly fiddling with the Deebot Omni vacuum.On day 1 I was excited to replace my current robot vacuum who's battery died and I figured it was time for an upgrade. The first day it worked decently well then the problems started.I have had numerous problems with the Deebot:Clean water tank pipe getting clogged with what looked like sealant or something. There is no clear indication that the robot doesnt fill up with water. I had to take apart the clean water tank and use a toothpick to clean it. (I have only used clean water)Being unable to split or join rooms because the map was corrupted multiple times and having to delete and recreate.The map randomly disappearing and being recreated resulting in all room specifications and barriers being deleted.The bag in the station constantly saying its full when its a brand new bag.Its pretty good about avoiding most cords or getting unstuck but in doing so usually loses a mop pad which results in it stopping anyway.Vacuum setting with anything higher than normal takes over 24 hours to actually vacuum my 1k sq ft downstairs due to charging time and rapid drain of battery.The only way I can get the "Yiko" to work is to play the example audio from the app loudly 3 or 4 times then it will register. Speaking normally it wont register, though it randomly picks up "Hey Yiko" when the tv is on.The final one is the drop sensor constantly registering its dirty and failing every time it tries to vacuum. I have tried cleaning them with a dry, and a damp cloth, but each time it lasts for 0 seconds or 30 seconds of cleaning. This resulted in me needing to send the unit back for my 1 warranty replacement and have to wait 3+weeks.So all in all I have successfully vacuumed/mopped my entire floor 0 times since I have owned it 1 month. I have had about a week total of "success" at 75% vacuum/mopped before running into some sort of problem.My floors are dirty and realized that just regular ol vacuuming and mopping takes significantly less time than fiddling with this vacuum.My previous one got stuck on cords occasionally or large bumps (like transitions), but at least kept the floor clean for 4 years.The picture is of another "drop sensor" issue where it doesnt make it off of its dock even. Constant problems, and lack of cleaning.Edit: 8/19/22While waiting for my vacuum to be fixed still I picked up the new roborock. My previous 3 were older roborock models. Surprise not a single issue vacuuming and mopping. Doesn't pop off the pads and handles transitions much better. Successfully cleaned the same area without an issue multiple times a day for a week that the deebot could never finish once.Edit: 8/27/22Received "fixed" deebot back. Still can't complete a single clean. Meanwhile the roborock has been cleaning the entire time with only one day failure where it bumped some cords off a chair and got trapped.
