ECOVACS - DEEBOT T9

It 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.

Ive 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.

We 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.

After 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!

Ecovacs 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.

I 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).

I have a T90AI. It doesn’t navigate thresholds well. It doesn’t update the map. It got stuck on a cord and the battery ran dead. It won’t take a charge with a dead battery. You have to send it in for repair if it is dead because it is not user serviceable. I have chargers from RC cars. Took it apart and charged the battery for ten min. Worked for a few months until it did it again. Repeat process.

I have a reasonably-older DeeBot with the laser and yes, it does well with avoidance and the mapping works very well -- when I transport it to the basement it knows and uses that map, and vice-versa. The only complaint I have with them is that the main brush motor gear assembly is buried and ALL of these, no matter who make them, have plastic gears in said motor assemblies -- they WILL fail over time (as will the batteries, like any other lithium pack), and when they do the availability of parts from other than "small packet" via China may be slim and none. These things are silly expensive to trash over a $20 part so parts access and capability to disassemble it and change components like this (and the parts are CHEAP -- if you can get them) is and should be a MAJOR consideration lest you wind up tossing it as soon as one of these parts go bad out of warranty.

I 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!

Just ordered the Roborock Qrevo Curv X this morning with the Black Friday sale. We used to have a cheaper Ecovacs Deebot and hated it/sold it because it would get stuck all the time on our carpets and couldn't get over our bathroom threshold. We recently moved into a multi story unit with hardwood floors and excited to see how this new one goes.
