"We have a deebot, one that mobs and vacuums. ... Don't even hesitate. This thing cleans. We come home and its clean."
"my floors have never been so nicely maintained."
"I have a Deebot, I use the mopping function 3-4 times per week minimum, 3 levels/floors in my house mapped, and it works flawlessly."

"the real game changers are the Omni-stations. ... You definitely want to buy one with a station, that can empty the dust bin, clean and dry the mopping pads. ... Having to only empty and refill the robot once a week, instead of daily was the hugest step in comfort for me personally."
"Starts when I leave home and when I return it docks and empties. ... I barely see it."
"As it's working, it goes back to its station often, which automatically washes the mop pads and cleans dirt out of the vaccuum with suction."

"a very, very old Ecovacs Deebot which had no navigation"
"a very, very old Ecovacs Deebot which had no mapping"
"It was $1000 CAD and a software nightmare. ... the software made me want to throw my phone everytime I used it because I had to remap almost every time I changed floors even though it can apparently save 3 maps."

"regular inability to locate ... Still hit and miss on the location."
"I did have issues with it freaking out in the kitchen and bathroom when I moved, but some googling revealed Lidar does not like shiny surfaces."
"It wanders around for 5 minutes or so but eventually gives up and says that it can’t find the station. ... I put it back on the floor that the station lives on, pick that map as the active one, and hit return to station and it returns no problem from there."

"Ecovacs has the worst after sales of any company in any place of the world I have ever experienced. ... The company won’t take responsibility and goi around in circles. ... They wasted more than 6 months after talk to multiple people and site visits and it was escalated till the head of the after sales who I will name clearly: Tanmay Gangani, who is an absolute unprofessional and blatant liar with no sense of responsibility and ethics."
"Got it replaced and the cost was 8K. ... the replacement cost was again 8K. ... Their service is expensive. Even to just visit and check the issue they charge 1K."
"oh my GOSH their customer service was horrible. ... will avoid Ecovacs moving forward just because of their horrible customer service."
drizzle_R 1.0It is already listed (with auto emptying) at the polish website [https://irobot.pl/pl/roomba/693-irobot-roomba-max-705-vac-stacja-autoempty-5061042262981.html](https://irobot.pl/pl/roomba/693-irobot-roomba-max-705-vac-stacja-autoempty-5061042262981.html) There was already the Ecovacs T9 Aivi that features a similar setup (its from the ecovacs/irobot teamup) that is pretty awful in terms of cleaning performance (did some quick tests but no uploads) since it looked like they just put the dual rollers on it without adjustment of of the airflow design.
farm_researcher 1.0Ive got the ecovacs t9+ that ive had for about 3 years. They replaced the motor free of charge. It still sounds like an animal is dying and the navigation of my home has veen absolutely shocking for the entire time ive had it. I hope the newer models are better.
Fr0sty5 1.0Mine (Deebot T9+, so getting on a bit I guess) can’t be trusted to run every day. Never know when it’ll get stuck on something stupid, like a chair. It also has that issue where the dustbin doesn’t REALLY clear out the debris from the vac most times. Also sucks the dustbin lid down hard enough to cause it to open, so it always needs some manual intervention.
Godfather_187_ 1.0We got in years ago with a Roomba iRobot thing. No smarts but kept going for years. Moved and wanted an auto empty so got the Ecovac T9 in 2018/2019 and have hated the mapping and regular inability to locate. First one played to do relieved under warranty pretty quick but been running reasonably daily since. Still hit and miss on the location. Friends traded up (still Ecovac) and love the newer software and mapping so I'm sure the wife will convince me soon.
Longjumping-Fudge-99 1.0After sales service in France is impeccable. I bought a T9+ 4 (ish) years ago. I had to send it back due to what I now know is excessive dust under the lidar (4 dogs, 2 cats and living in a rural farm environment - I clean it myself now). It took less than a week! My T9 is now on semi-retirement in a smaller section of the house and I have an X2... Fantastic. I also splurged on a goat which I can honestly say is the best thing I've ever bought... We have 35°+ in the summer months so now I don't have to mow! I recommend Ecovacs to everyone!
Psilan 1.0Ecovacs is horrible though. 950 and T9+ here. Good for a few weeks and maybe reviews. But they get worse and worse.
Yea I need a new one now. Basically an every day mop. Minimal vacuum. I thought they had advanced between 950 and T9, but they are getting ridiculous now. I won't buy another ecovacs.
Suesquish 1.0I don't know about the T50, but I found Robot Wars when researching which robot vac to get and it was fantastic information to have. They don't just run it around their house like many people and actually test suction, noise and true % of picking up debris and mopping spills. I'm a fan. Their reviews and testing helped me decide on the T9 which was brand new at the time. 4 years on and it's still going. I think the only issue it has is it's starting to not feed water properly at the start of mopping. I never had to wet the mopping pad first but will have to now. It's a small inconvenience for the amazing help it provides. People will often reach out for help or in frustration when something goes wrong. This is why we tend to see more complaints online. People who are super happy with something don't tend to post about it.
Issues with warranties are usually due to the country. I'm in Australia and we have excellent consumer rights. Ecovacs would have no choice but to replace their products if they had a major fault or were not fit for purpose. I've had my Ecovacs T9+ for about 4 years and still love it. I did have issues with it freaking out in the kitchen and bathroom when I moved, but some googling revealed Lidar does not like shiny surfaces. So I covered those areas and it works great. It's getting a bit old now so the water feed for the mopping is starting to have intermittent issues. It still vacuums like a dream and mops up dirty boot marks when tradesmen come to fix things. Unfortunately I think all products are going to have lemons here and there and it's just luck whether we get one or not. I have learned when it comes to robot vacs, we get what we pay for (usually).
Old-Independence5768 0.0I feel you on the 2 kids + 3 pets struggle, floors are basically a combat zone. If the Qrevo isn't doing it for you, definitely check out the Ecovacs Deebot line (especially the T series when on sale). Their "Ozmo" mopping tech is a beast for sticky messes and pet tracks. You can often snag them under $500, and they might actually give you the "oomph" you're missing.
bart_grewup 0.0I had a Deebot before (their first self empty doc). It kept falling off WiFi and wouldn’t clean. I dropped it and went to a Roborock S7 and that’s been fine. Back in the market to upgrade and I worry about X11 for this reason. But the spec list looks pretty solid. Torn…
That sucks. I took a 2 year old Ecovacs Deebot back to Costco in the states because it wasn’t working right. Sorry to hear it’s not that way off shore.
goinbacktocallie 0.0I have an ecovacs deebot that does both vaccuuming and mopping. I used to have a Eufy, but this one is way nicer. They're expensive, but really amazing, and I was able to buy mine from their website on a payment plan. The one I have has a big tank for clean water and one for the dirty water. As it's working, it goes back to its station often, which automatically washes the mop pads and cleans dirt out of the vaccuum with suction. When it's done, the station has a hot air dryer that keeps the mop pads dry. I have a few sets of pads, and I wash them in the washing machine regularly. I agree with the other commenter to make sure you get one with smart mapping, mine does and it works great!
