ECOVACS - DEEBOT Mini

What’s your budget range? Your place isn’t that big, so you could try looking at the deebot mini. I have one and haven’t had any major mapping issues or problems with bumping into walls in the few months I’ve used it. As for tangling, I don’t have pets and don’t deal with much shedding, so that part might not be very helpful for reference.

My deebot has been running at my place for almost 2 years now.

Most models nowaday do both vacuuming and mopping, so I wouldn’t really go for vacuum-only ones. If your place is small, the deebot mini could be a good option since the dock doesn’t take much space.

I haven’t seen many good reviews of irobot here, and it doesn’t seem that many people use it. I use an ecovacs deebot myself, and if you’re not in a rush, the X8 pro omni might be worth a look. I’ve had it for a few months and it’s been really reliable so far.

Small apartments really need a robovac that doesn’t get in the way. I just stash my deebot mini in a corner, and barely notice it. I don’t need too many features for a tiny place, but it still does pretty much everything I want. I also heard they’re gonna come out with a mini2 soon.

I bought it for my mum a few months ago. Vaccuming is great, mopping not so much. Biggest problem with the size is that dustbin gets full quickly and goes to the station to auto empty too many times. Plus, it needs to go to refill the water again and again. We bought it because mum lives in a 2-storey house and needed something that can be picked up quickly and moved easily. But it is hardly able to finish half the house upstairs before it needs to return to the station to empty the bin. The station is downstairs so it becomes a cunbersome task. If you truly have a small space, then it is good. But if not, you're better off with a bigger robot.

Yeah its a good model if you have a carpet area under 1200 sq.ft , for pets i had labrador it did pick up hair of it. As of now its been working good

I think they're pretty standard size because of on board water tank limitations, but the Deebot Mini is an ail in one option and switchbot has I believe 2 options. your best bet is to get two robots instead of an all in one if space is a limitation. Maybe the switchbot k11+ that is mini and you can find lots of used brava jet 240s.

It’s correct. The spares are too costly and you need to replace them quite often. You do not get 3rd party spares unlike n30. So be aware of it. Check spare cost on Ecovacs home page

I was on a budget when I bought mine, so I went with the deebot mini just for basic cleaning. If your place isn’t that big, it’s more than enough.

I’ve got around 55sqm and use a deebot mini. I’m not too fussy about cleaning, but I do want something that saves me time and can last. So far, it’s been doing a solid job.

I remember my deebot mini was over 200euros when I got it, but it does both vacuuming and mopping. Plus, it's pretty small, so it can squeeze into those little corners in my place.

I currently have a deebot mini model, and I remember it's being within your budget. It’s smaller than regular robots, so it feels easier and lighter to use. But it still has all the usual features you’d expect, like vacuuming and mopping.

Deebot mini? Its station is compact, so it’s easy to store. It can both mop and vacuum as well, which I think is more than enough to handle a relatively small space.

I have been using [Ecovacs DEEBOT mini](https://www.ecovacs.com/th-en/deebot-robotic-vacuum-cleaner/deebot-mini) for ~3 weeks now. At time of purchase I could not find any review in English but I did find some reviews in Spanish, Japanese and Korean (YouTube did auto-translate to English). There were a few discussion on subreddit but nothing solid. Location India. The main reason I choose the mini was beacuse I was looking for Vac+Mop combo with self cleaning station, with mid-tier budget. It was either this or DREAME L10s Ultra (among others in similar price range), I went with Ecovacs for few main reasons: 1. No camera (privacy concern and I don't have pets that need AI detection) 2. Higher suction 3. Others in same budget did not have either self mop cleaning or self dust bag cleaning I have used it twice (Vac only and later Vac + Mop) every day for past 3 weeks and have few things to say. Firstly: - I don't have pets - I have tiled floors with only one mat - I used to vacuum twice a week before and mop once a week manually before. The Good: 1. It sucks up dust pretty well, although it sometimes misses a few larger pieces but it gets them in the second pass. 2. The navigation is better than I expected, it can enter and leave rooms without bumping into things and even if it does it backs up and find an alternative path. 3. Self cleaning station has one storage for clean and dirty water, separated by a pump system, you can add your cleaners into the tank (it does not have a separate compartment to disperse them) 4. The tiny size is actually pretty good for cleaning, the mop pads kind of hang a little outside the main body making it easy to get corners. Also the small size makes it easy to go under chair legs, etc. 5. Relatively silent 6. Hot air drying for mop pads 7. No hair or dust tangle in rolling brush till now The Bad: 1. No mop pad lift aka if you just want to vacuum you will have to manually remove the pads. - Also it won't vacuum the carpet till you remove the pads at-least for me. 2. Smaller battery (it is fine for small houses, numbers below) 3. Cannot re-scan a particular room or area (maybe a software update can fix this) 4. It only has an onboard dust bag and not a water tank, has to go to station to get the mop pads wet 5. The box doesn't have any replacement accessorises, keep that in mind. 6. Lidar and distance detector are dust magnets, have to clean them every 3-4 days, just a light swipe Robot settings usually are: - Suction Power: Strong - Water Flow Rate: Medium - Cleaning Speed: Standard - All setting enabled - edge deep cleaning, obstacle avoidance, suction-boost on carpet - Auto-Empty: High Frequency - Mop Auto-Wash Frequency: 6min (By Time, you can also set by room) Based on these setting I get the following performance numbers - ~15% battery for 30min runtime (Vac only) for 25m-square area - ~25% battery for 40min runtime (Vac+ Mop) for 25m-square area Overall I am pretty happy with the cleaning, this was my first robot vacuum.

I haven't had problem with vaccuming or mopping. Mini is not good for bigger houses (smaller battery), but haven't had any issues with vaccuming.I don't see how size would affect it. Vaccums mainly push dust towards the inlet using the spin fan. The small size also helps with mopping - the mops pads kind of hang outside in mini so it gets to edges easily. I did not consider force tbh, it seems about alright; but I don't have any hard stains on the floor. I got mini for 34k during sale (6k bank discount) and that sealed the deal for me. I would wait for next sale or offer. Between the 2 it would come down to: - House size - Edge cleaning/going between furniture - Sound level - Bank offers/discounts Rest all seems comparable.

Hi OP, I posted a review just yesterday - https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1o2yc4a/review\_of\_ecovacs\_deebot\_mini/.

\> if we run it only on vacuum, then do we have to remove the moping pad? Yes. \> if we do not have any carpet/rug at all, then would it still function for vacuuming with the mopping pad on? As in, we won't be required to remove the mopping pad then, right? You can vacuum and mop together at same time. But if you only want to vacuum you will have to remove the mop. They are magnetic, just lift the robot by the handle remove them and continue.

I've a kitten who sheds like crazy, so I use a deebot mini to help pick up the hair. It's small enough to get under the couch and even catches some of the stray litter. But if there's a lot of fur, I'd still clean it up a bit first, otherwise any robot can get tangled when it's too much.

I have a deebot mini. Sometimes I also set it to clean on a schedule, and when it done, it goes back and cleans itself.

The deebot mini’s quite compact, so it won’t take up much space, and it actually comes with a lot of features.

I’ve been using mine for about 2 months. It just fits under my side table, and I find it’s pretty flexible running under my chair and desk, and doesn’t get stuck in narrow paths.
