DEEBOT X1 PLUS

Walmart has the ecovacs deebot x1 plus. I'm loving it. Even has a camera and a home patrol feature as a home surveillance on demand feature. 5000pa suction and 2 side brushes. I never understood the single brush. Got it for $199 with a $34 4yr full warranty.

I bought an Ecovacs X1 and would buy it again in a heartbeat. App controlled, animal poo detection, the maps are really good, different cleaning options, was really thorough too at least for tiles and hardwood floors. Has a software set no go zone in the app, base station alerts in the app and with audio if the vacuum bag or dirty water container is full. Only downsides for me was cleaning the base out periodically, also if you move the base station it freaks out and occasionally it got stuck on a rug. Oh it auto recognizes when the mops are disconnected too. I'm pretty sure there is a newer version but have t looked into it. Good luck!

I must say, it is REALLY nice having it be mostly* automated with even just a Deebot X1 from FBMP for ~$200 from my perspective. The vacuum dustbin auto empty and mop washing is so nice. It’s set it and forget it unless the robot gets stuck or breaks which can happen within any price range

I recently upgraded to the X9 from the X1 when the X9 was $500 off. The X9 seems to do much better mopping my floors and in just watching it operate it just seems smarter. So after three years of my X1 getting stuck in the middle of a room somehow, and the cleaning sink getting clogged, the X9 seems like an amazing upgrade so far.

I just got the MOVA Z60 too and for the first time in 3 years my tiled floors are really clean. Such a big upgrade from my previous Ecovacs N30 and Ecovacs X1

A robovac is a nice thing. It does not keep everything 100% clean. But if you set it up to run daily, it definitely outperforms cleaning yourself every now and then. That being said, parts of the robot degrade after just a few hundred hours of use, so that isn't necessarily the frequency you want to use it for. I personally have an Ecovac Deebot X1 and its docking station, and while it used to forget where it was and everything, it was still very useful and still does a good job cleaning. Be aware that this thing likes to connect to their cloud tho.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a robot vacuum that’s actually great at mopping? The kitchen and dining areas at my place are always a mess. Between dried sauce stains and greasy spots, my current robot basically just slides over them with a damp cloth and doesn't really get anything off. It’s gotten to the point where I’m manually splashing a bit of water or cleaner on the floor right before it reaches the dirty spots just to help it out, but it's honestly a bit much. I'm using the ecovacs x1 right now, but I’ve been looking at new models, maybe the x12? That apparently have a water spray feature, I’m curious if that actually helps the mop clean any better. Has anyone tried a model that’s actually effective on stubborn stains? Or do these areas just always need a manual scrub in the end?
