To be fair, my first gen Xiaomi robot vacuum that I replaced last week vacuums way better than the ecovacs T20 omni that took its place.
I mean, it can be both of the things. That Xiaomi vacuumed perfectly, it literally almost never missed a spot, so I can't really imagine how there can be any improvement over perfection ahah In my case I upgraded mostly because I wanted to add mopping, better map management and less noise, and I paid so little for the T20 that I'm fine if it gets 99% of the older robot.
I'm using the ecovacs deebot T20 - vacuum is great. Mop does the job, but not as well as my parents would ideally like. It also leaves spin marks on the ground. Happy with it in general, but the software is buggy as all hell. The app keeps resetting the map, with some weird workarounds required to restore it each time. I really liked the hardware, the app makes it so frustrating though. I'm eyeing the new roborock offerings, they look practically designed for India, they're just too expensive for me.
Ecovacs T20 mop and vac 3 years, over 200 hours on it.
I’ll say something good about them! I’ve had 3, T20, X5 and the X9 which is the best so far. I’ve moved them to my other home as I upgrade and still running great. Now the X5 I had to return, the vacuum box door didn’t close tight, I asked for just the dust bin but they said send it all back so I did, no problems here.
My old T20 was my first one and still going strong. Now have the X9 and love it because of all our wood floors.
I started with the T20, still going at our cabin upstairs, X5 got moved to our cabin main floor, gave my X9 to my daughter since they have a dog, X11 at my main home. Everyone is running perfectly. Of course the X11 does the best cleaning.
I returned my shark matrix 2 in 1, I returned my ecovacs t20. Both out of the box would not return to the station. The shark cleaned ok and had a terrible map. The t20 cleaned great and had a good map, but the app froze every single time. The eufy x10 Omni cleans great and works.
Upgraded from the robot that drags the mop around to an ecovac with a water station and spinning mop pads. It’s definitely an upgrade, although still won’t clean any stuck on stains. You need their cleaning solution. My tank stays clean however my friend bought the same model, she doesn’t use the solution and tank gets super stinky.
Depends on the model you buy, I’ve got the one you just drop a capful in the tank. I don’t use it every time I fill up but I think it has something in it that stops bacteria. The model I had before was also ecovac, the software wasn’t great. I think the main complaint was the map disappearing but they’ve fixed that, you can save maps and restore now. Software on the new one is excellent. It also maps your entire house in a few minutes now compared to the old one that would take an hour. I’m pretty happy with it, most of the complaints I’ve seen are for stupid things, like not docking ( they don’t have the base clicked in properly, or have put it in a spot that doesn’t allow enough width etc)
I think maybe Ecovacs Deebot T20 Max is a steal pet hair pickup on your floors is top tier, mop removes fast and beats J7+ hands down.
I've had great success with my Ecovacs T20 Omni. Ecovacs in general is at the top of the Vacuum Wars list again as well.
I got 5 cats in the house and i got a deebot t20 for $300 new on woot and it had been amazing! The floors are so clean. I just gotta keep up on the tanks because the cats like to hop on it and it activates.
