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.

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.

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.

We got a Eufy vacuum only a few years ago and after having to sweep everyday due to having 2 dogs and a cat, it was this amazing luxury I couldn't even imagine. It ran really well for a long time. Then it did need to be replaced. We got the same model but this one had some issues rather soon. The remote stopped working which was a little important since i had a non mapping model. I still ran it but it would push dining room chairs around, get stuck on the base of our fan and cat scratcher. During Prime we splurged on a Ecovac Deebot that mops. Wow it is such an upgrade from what we 1st started with. We are really happy with its performance, my floors have never been so nicely maintained. Totally worth it.

I’ll never ever gonna buy Ecovacs again. Cheap parts, horrible app, just overall a very frustrating experience.

Have a Deebot. Insane quality. But they could really up their game in terms of software - for old and new models.

I haven’t seen many good reviews of irobot here, and it doesn’t seem that many people use it. I use an ecovacs deebot myself, and if you’re not in a rush, the X8 pro omni might be worth a look. I’ve had it for a few months and it’s been really reliable so far.

I owned a DeeBot and I sent it back after a week. The mapping function was terrible. It was amazing at cleaning but I don’t want to fight with a vacuum. Customer service suggested I join their support group on Facebook for assistance. I can’t even make this mess up. I’m not joining a group to use a vacuum. Instead, I bought a cheap mop/ vacuum combo from Inova and it was amazing. I still use it 2.5 years later. I’m in the market for an upgrade now that budget is larger.

We have a deebot, one that mobs and vacuums. Don't even hesitate. This thing cleans. We come home and its clean. spill something, he comes mop it up. Its even entertainment for the dog.

I have an Ecovacs Deebot, and it does a decent job. It has the self-empty, but doesn't work on cat hair unfortunately. However, the vacuum picks up a lot of cat hair.

I bought an anti-tangle roller for my robot vacuum and it works pretty well. I have a Deebot but I'm sure they make them for other brands, too.

I equate robot vacs to hand sanitizer. They do the job, but at the end of the day, soap and water make your hands feel the cleanest. I have both an ecovac deebot and a roomba 405. Honestly, the cheaper deebot worked more consistently than the Roomba. Their app is dodgy as heck. If you have pets with fur, I've found the old school janitor brooms to be the most efficient and effective on floors. Too much fur tends to clog up Roomba vacs. Go cheap to dip your toes in the robot waters.

Do NOT go for ecovacs deebot... What a shitshow... Worst 800€ I ever spent...

$500 is a critical threshold. I have had different Deebots for years and they are very helpful, but 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. The real magic of these robots is, if you have to interact with them, as little as possible. Having to only empty and refill the robot once a week, instead of daily was the hugest step in comfort for me personally.

I have a eufy S1. I chose it because I wanted something that was near-flagship, but <$1000. I also really wanted a roller mop as opposed to spinning mop pads. I hated the idea of smearing dirty pads around the floor. I've had it for about a month and am in love after replacing a very, very old Ecovacs Deebot which had no mapping nor navigation. The improvement is night and day.

Using ecovacs deebot and thoroughly satisfied

My Roborock has been great for me and it was about $700CAD so well within your budget. Vacuums, mops, all those things. The one I had before was a Deebot Ecovacs. It was $1000 CAD and a software nightmare. Cleaned well (not better than the Roborock though) but 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.

I had a deebot for a couple of years and it was good. So, when it died, I got another one. That one didn't work right and oh my GOSH their customer service was horrible. I ended up returning it and got a Shark. I have no experience with Roborock but will avoid Ecovacs moving forward just because of their horrible customer service.

Bought ecovacs Deebot. The sensors stopped working after 2 years. Got it replaced and the cost was 8K. A year later, the sensors again stopped working and the replacement cost was again 8K. A friend of mine who bought the Deebot 1 year after me had the same issues with the sensors. Their service is expensive. Even to just visit and check the issue they charge 1K. So don’t buy Ecovacs.

My deebot has been decent 🤷‍♂️

I live by mine. Deebot with self emptying. Has full map and Lidar so barely gets caught. Starts when I leave home and when I return it docks and empties. I barely see it.
