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.
Mine (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.
I feel your pain. I had an Ecovacs T9+ and its software was atrocious. I am currently using a Dreame X50 Ultra complete and am very satisfied with it. The only negative things that I noticed is, its intelligence while the LIDAR sensor is not very good, its carpet detection is kinda wonky and the detection of the cleaning liquid container appear to not work sometimes. But the overall navigation and function of the Dreame is much better than the Ecovacs I had.
I’ve tried the RR Curve 2 Flow, the Ecovac T90, and Narwal Flow 2 and the Narwal Flow 2 and the Narwal is the best mopper of the 3 by a lot, middle of the pack for vacuuming, quietus, and best navigation. I wanted a roller and the only other contender was the Dreame Aqua 10, but it had too many issues. The other roller on the market, Mova, had bad reviews for battery and clogging. Again, my own experience. The Narwal is far from perfect, but the best I could find tight now.
In my personal experience I cannot suggest ecovacs... I liked them because the features were good, but I had two of them in last two years and in less than one year I had to return both of them because they simply broke. Now I'm looking for another brand with similar features but more reliable
I have an ecovacs deebot forget the specific version but I watched https://vacuumwars.com/ and it was pretty well regarded at the time. The big thing you kinda need to understand about robovacs and their cousins, automowers, is that these don't necessarily replace your vacuum. They compliment it and reduce the number of times you vacuum. It's more of a maintainence mindset.
That said, I've personally had no issue with dog fur being picked up. I have a shiba so he has an undercoat and his fur comes off in tufts all year. I just run it once a day and it picks up most everything.
Whatever robo vac you get, you may need to do a thorough clean before running it for the first time and I recommend having it run once a day or once every other day and spot vacuum any sections that seem to be getting missed. Also do yourself a favor and make absolutely sure the one you get has a charging base that doubles as a vacuum tank. These things don't hold a lot so that'll save you a lot of time emptying the robot itself. They'll vacuum and then empty into their respective dustbin

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
