ECOVACS - DEEBOT T90

From what you described, t90 sounds like it fits your place better. Roller mop for hardwood, stronger suction for the carpeted room. If you’re not in a hurry, then waiting for t90 might make sense.

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.

Yeah, I totally get what you're saying! Honestly, I think we're in that "refinement era" with robovacs, and I'm actually okay with that. The jump from like 60% to 85% capability happened pretty fast, but now these incremental improvements from 85 to 90+ are where it really matters for daily use. The T80 to T90 upgrades you mentioned are exactly the kind of stuff that makes a difference in real life. Fast charging means less downtime, better airflow actually picks up more debris (especially pet hair if you have it), and a longer roller mop covers more ground per pass. These aren't flashy features, but they're the ones you appreciate after a few weeks of use. And yeah, those stair-climbing concepts and robots with arms look cool in demos, but I'm with you—they're probably not ready for prime time. I'd rather have something that does the basics really well than something experimental that breaks down or gets stuck constantly. As for when the T90 drops, I haven't seen an official date yet, but Ecovacs usually announces these things a month or two before launch. Might be worth keeping an eye on their site or signing up for notifications if you're seriously considering it. The T80 is solid too though if you don't want to wait!

I 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.

I have a T80 at home, and honestly the T90 looks like a meaningful upgrade. Better mopping, stronger vacuum, faster charging. Mostly curious how well that 26 cm roller mop works in real life, not just specs.

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 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!

The roller mop is probably better in terms of cleaning results. If you get one with a station, it can wash and dry itself. I usually just wait for the deebot to finish, let the roller mop clean and dry itself, and then do a quick check to make sure there’s nothing left on it.

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.

I have a ecovacs deebot. I've had it a year and a half and have had to replace the brushes on it twice. It's ok to stretch out the vacuuming I have to do with my dyson, but I still need to vacuum about once a week. Twice a week during high shed seasons. It has a mop attachment, but I don't use it as my kitchen and bathrooms are small and the rest of my house is carpet.

Can your parrots roam freely around the house? My two can only stay in the bird room, so there're always feathers and bits of seeds on the floor. When I run my ecovacs deebot, I just let it clean the bird room too. After that, I don't really need to clean it again myself.

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