Tinha um xioami dos primeiros, foi grande mudança para melhor. Agora na casa nova esse foi para o piso superior e para o inferior comprámos um Ecovacs T30C, já aspirou e passou esfregona uma vez e promete cumprir muito bem. Este ultimo consegui por 507€ na amazon

I'd lean toward keeping the T50, it's a newer model with dToF LiDAR, which tends to be more stable and reliable over time compared to the LDS in the T30c. Worth the little extra for the long run.

Great question — all four are solid options, but if **precise, straight-line navigation** and **smart edge cleaning** are your top priorities, here’s a quick breakdown based on real-world usage and reviews: # Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 – Best All-Around * **Straight-line pathing is excellent** thanks to improved AI + LiDAR + front obstacle camera. * **Edge mopping is actually intelligent** (mops extend and trace baseboards). * Very few complaints about zigzagging once mapping is complete. * 7,000Pa suction + mop lifting, self-cleaning dock, and fully automated. Here’s a product link with more details: 👉 [Dreame L10s Ultra Gen2](https://www.dreametech.com/products/l10s-ultra-gen-2-robot-vacuum?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=Reasonable-Cheek-214&utm_campaign=Recs) # Ecovacs T30C / T50 Omni * Great suction and dual mop arms (the T50 improves on the T30). * Pathing is solid, but **edge handling tends to be weaker** than Dreame or Roborock. * App experience isn’t as refined — sometimes gets confused with complex layouts. * T30C lacks some dock automation that the T50 has. # Roborock Q Revo Plus * Clean layout and UI, but **no AI obstacle detection** like the Dreame or Ecovacs models. * Does fine in open spaces, but might **zigzag around furniture** more. * Mops don’t retract — they only lift slightly. # ✅ Verdict: If you want top-tier navigation and the most “set it and forget it” automation, **go for the L10s Ultra Gen 2**. It nails precise movement and doesn’t get lost or spin in circles like older bots — and it’s often **more affordable** than Ecovacs' high-end models with better long-term reliability. Let me know if you want to compare carpet handling, obstacle detection, or app features!

I'm not an expert but I did buy / return many and found one I liked a year or so back. Roborock Qrevo Curve. Was over $1000 when I bought it. Down to $700 now I think. It seldom gets stuck. Can run multiple programs. Mine currently vacuums only the whole house 2x week. Washes/mops only the whole house 1x a week. It mops and vacuum combo the kitchen floor every night after 9p and all the cooking is done. It has been easy to maintain. I fill the water tank once a week, empty the waist water tank at the same time. I get about 3 months out of a vacuum cleaner bag before swapping. It handles high thresholds better than anything I've seen. I have an old house with a 2" threshold in one of the rooms. No issue getting over. Great mapping with good options to limit it from rooms or areas in the room. Dream L40 - Was the first high end mop/vac I owned. It's AI obstacle avoidance was the best I've ever seen. The issue I had was it dropped the mops automatically when running vacuum only. This should be a good thing and was until it somehow lost the ability to pick them up and would fault out. I returned it. Mapping was excellent. It did have pretty good threshold passing but could not get over the 2" threshold. Ecovac T30-AI. I still own this because I had some shit hit the fan at the end of the return window and missed the return window. Worst mapping of any I've mapped with. It missed rooms and had a very hard time crossing thresholds. All the thresholds. Once a map was made, it didn't' update it at all. The others all add rooms or areas if they find them. If I map with a door of a room closed and later open the door, that room will never be entered by the ecovac, the others all just updated their maps. As far as cleaning goes, if the path is flat, no thresholds, it does a pretty good job on the vac+mop setting. But it can only program one setting. So I can not vacuum 5 days a week and mop one of those days. It runs at the time you set, on the mode you left it last. I have a sunken room that the Roborock can't get to. I used to just move the Dream and later the Roborock into that area once a week. Now the Eco lives in that room. Should be a perfect case. But here is it's biggest flaw. If the batter runs dead, it will not charge from the dock. You have to dismantle the robot, pull the battery, charge the batter on an external charger, and then reinstall the battery. This is not practical for 90% of the owners. Most don't have a batter charger for that type of batter. If I wasn't an RC Car guy in my youth, I'd have no idea what to do. I own it. It's been running for over a year and doing an OK job. I would not recommend it to anyone. Various Roomba. I've owned 4 or 5, bought my parents 1 or 2. set them all up. These are very basic machines and over priced for what they do. They are existing on name recognition these days. They don't suck but there are better out there for less money. My parents love theirs.

I own a RoboRock QrevoCurve and a EcoVacs T30AI. The Qrevo RR has been running for nearly a year now with little to no issues. It crosses thresholds well, better than most. It seldom gets stuck and when it does, 70% of the time I can just send it back to base from my phone and it clears itself of the obstical. You can set multiple programs. I have it vac and mop the kitchen every night. Vacuum the house 3 days a week and mop the house 1 day a week. The EcoVac has also been around for about a year, a month longer than the QRevo. It would have been returned after I got the Qrevo but I missed the return window. It has caused me to post on here about dead batteries. If it gets stuck, it will run it's batter dry. When the battery is dead/dead, it will not charge in the dock. I have to take the bot apart, pull the batter and charge it on my RC car charger using a MickyMouse wired rig. This takes 30 min or so, start to finish. I've had to do this 4 or 5 times now. Once because it got stuck on a business card. No joke. Other than that, EcoVac does a good job mopping and vacuuming. It does a poor job mapping and crossing thresholds. I use it in a single room and I still occasionally have dead battery issues. It will only run one setting. You can make multiple schedules but can not change the function. IE I can vacuum M-T-W in the morning and T-F-S-S at night if I want. But I can not program it to Vacuum on Monday and Mop on Tuesday. The function of Mop/Vac, Mop Only or Vac only cannot be programed into the schedule. It runs the schedule on whatever function you have set.

I also have a t30. And for the most part I’m happy. I’m just a bit frustrated since sometimes I notice streaks on my floors after a couple of weeks. I’ve changed the amount of water distributed but it hasn’t made a difference. I replace the mops once a week and wash the old ones and usually look brand new when I take them out. So that’s my main issue. My floor is also terrible that you literally just look at it then it gets dirty.

How long have you owned that I’ve had the T30 for just slightly over a year and it keeps glitching out

Don’t by the T30. Awful. Also customer services with ecovac is awful.

Doesn’t work for me. I have a husky so a bit of dog hair and it struggles. It goes around it as if it’s an obstruction. Ecovacs answer was to turn off the radar which I did. It then gets trapped in the roller. There’s no cutting mechanism so it blocks up quickly and the vacuum isn’t powerful enough to suck it into its storage area. Pretty disappointed. I’m not talking about a big clunk of hair either.

How long did you have the t30 for as they wouldn’t accept mine back when I listed similar issues?

My bf got us an ecovacs t30 for our 3-cat household. Not sure how much it cost, but knowing him, I don’t think he’d spend a ton on it lol. It’s been vacuuming solid on both floors and carpets, picking up fur pretty well for about 6 month now.

Maybe. But the discounts can change from year to year, I got my deebot during last year’s bf. I’m actually proud that I’ve managed to keep up the habit of cleaning it regularly ever since:)
