DEEBOT NEO 2.0 Plus

I dont think the L40AE can handle that, but there are plenty of robots with threshold climbing abilities that can The Qrevo Curv, Mova V50 are proabbly the cheapest that can climb that. Id do with the V50 personally

I'd go T90 out of this bunch, with the understanding that Ecovacs can be kind a poor user experience but once you get it set up its really good vacuum. If you want a more seamless user experience and better app, Id pick a dreame. Aqua 10 is the better mopper, but if you have pets I would get the X50.

I picked up an Ecovacs Deebot Neo 2 Plus from my local Aldi special for AU$379, which I think is the most I'd pay for a robot vacuum as I need only good vacuum performance on hard floor, and ok performance on carpet. The unit certainly does that and the auto emptying station works well with no dust left inside the robot's bin. Navigation works well and certainly better than my old Neato! Looking at various online comparisons, most mopping robots have clear drawbacks and performance issues, and costly.

that's great - we have a dishwasher but hadn't thought about the advantage of 2 drawers. will file that for when I need a replacement!

ours is just an ecovac from aldi - bought it a few yrs ago though so there would be much better models now. I like the idea of the ones that self empty - next time I need a replacement!

4 in my house. Mostly hardwoods on the 1st floor and the roller mop on the ecovac T80 Omni does a great job. Living room is a step down so that has another Ecovacs auto empty, same for 2nd floor, and basement. Pretty much they all run on schedule but once in a while one gets stuck.

The roller mop is probably better in terms of cleaning results. If you get one with a station, it can wash and dry itself. I usually just wait for the deebot to finish, let the roller mop clean and dry itself, and then do a quick check to make sure there’s nothing left on it.
