Simple answer - no it won't. I'll give you a bit of context and then you decide but from what you've written this won't do your job. So my Y1 does a good job but it got stuck with a dry leaf that has blown in from an open window, it got stuck with a small twine my kiddo pulled from a doll and the dust bag fills up quickly. It works for our home because the mess was already under control. But in your case I think a regular vacuum would be required for the major debris and for regular use, with the dog, I would suggest something which auto empties the bin like the y1 pro plus so you don't spend your time constantly emptying the bin. One more note that nobody, strangely, talks about - these machines are mostly about the software. The first time you use it the house gets mapped. Subsequently you don't have the option to re-map a particular area. You have to re-map the entire house. Also if you want to do the cleaning of a particular area more than once then there is no automatic setting - you have to start the cleaning manually. You can schedule when the cleaning starts but it would clean the full house and you cannot set it to clean a particular area on a schedule. Also there is no way to customize the cleaning depending on what room is being cleaned so you cannot, say, set it to clean the kitchen with a stronger vacuum setting than the rest of the house. These are all things that can be very easily fixed in an update of the software but as of now there are the limitations you'd have to live with.

Hey, I just wanted to share with everyone, my experience about Ecovacs robotic vacuum cleaner. I have never faced such a horrible service from any products in my life. I have been using several electronic devices and appliances, but nothing horrible like this. My experience with this brand has been ridiculous. Firstly let me tell you, all the reviews that you see about this product on Amazon are fake. If u read closely, all the reviews are about product installation and demo. They ask their technicians to persuade customer to leave a review at the time of demo, Even before they actually start using the product. So my machine was a Deebot Y1 Pro, i purchased 9 months back. After 3 months of use, the machine started working erratically. Cleaning was not proper. Initially they changed the driving wheels, then the brush motor, the the main board. Even after this the machine is not pulling in dust. All this took around 6 months. Yes you heard it right. Their service is ridiculous. The technician would come home and then inspect the device and raise a ticket for the spare part. So the spare part will be couriered to the customer directly after 2 or 3 weeks. Once this reaches your home, the technician will come again and replace that part. This is ridiculous. The technician is never provided spares by the technician despite being a huge brand. After 7 such visits, the machine wasn't still working. Water tank was leaking, cleaning was not happening etc etc. I begged them to provide a replacement which they said is not in their policy. They don't provide service, they don't provide warranty. n one of my friends case, they had denied warranty saying there is fungus on board and its caused by water damage. There are some women sitting in their service, and they are not technical at all. They always play around with you. These are all generic chinese devices rebranded and sold here in India. Its not an indian product at all. I think the story of most other brands also is the same. Even for dreame also i have read similar reviews on amazon. Xiaomi might be better i hope. I bought two Xiaomi S10 recently, lets see how it goes. https://preview.redd.it/4u4gjso6xz9f1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=486d396bdbf8d9bd829fc1c17f0a90af9f2cf9ff https://preview.redd.it/66qosig9xz9f1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fa62d8e141b7248f3810994bd9ce201dea71904 https://preview.redd.it/r2g4dy7axz9f1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=48c5a13a72010dc0ae38035e76fa93c6bcf57f66 https://preview.redd.it/ys0ia4saxz9f1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6538fcfa7dd87b93b6eb3fd28b82c27bc7a16bf

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 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 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.

I like having a robot vacuum but the ecovacs app/software is super glitchy. It will just go random places when assigned other areas. It randomly merges or forgets rooms. anyone looking into one should head to the ecovacs and vacuum subs and read up. I’m definitely going with another brand next time.

I know another person spoke about his extremely bad experience with it but for me this is actually price worthy There are some cons yes (and I do intervene for some stuff not being used for vacuuming like sweet and place the dust infront of the deebot wherever it missed which happens sometimes) i.e. having demo areas and some obstacles, but the device is damn reasonable tbh

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!

Mine has never tried to empty the dust bin mid clean, only after completion. It wanders around for 5 minutes or so but eventually gives up and says that it can’t find the station. I put it back on the floor that the station lives on, pick that map as the active one, and hit return to station and it returns no problem from there.

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.

$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.

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.

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.

Ecovacs has the worst after sales of any company in any place of the world I have ever experienced. Basically they sell low quality Chinese products with heavy features that are only work on paper. The Deebot doesn’t work as advertised. The company won’t take responsibility and goi around in circles. They wasted more than 6 months after talk to multiple people and site visits and it was escalated till the head of the after sales who I will name clearly: Tanmay Gangani, who is an absolute unprofessional and blatant liar with no sense of responsibility and ethics. According to them their devices are flawless. After proving all of this unethical behaviour to Amazon, with evidence, I got my money back. I replaced with a karcher robovac whose mrp was lower but performance is 2x and zero headaches.

We started with one iRobot, it worked great! Later decided on a brava (iRobot mop) and it worked amazingly! I was in my doctorate program and didn’t have time to clean the floors. We have two small dogs and five children. The floors are one thing I don’t have to worry about anymore. We recently moved and purchased two combo vacuum and mop, one is iRobot and the other is ecovacs. I like the ecovac more, it seems smarter, however they both do a great job. We have three stories so there are robot vacuum on each floor, they run every day, this keeps the stairs pretty clean and I vacuum the stairs once a week. Our original robot is eight years old and runs fine with daily use.

r/homeowners • Are robot vacuums worth it? I’ve got 4 small kids and I’m always sweeping up the kitchen. Now I have a crawling baby so I’m thinking about getting a robot vacuum, preferably the mop/vacuum kind but they are so expensive! Curious if they are worth it and an investment. ->

I run my whole smart home primarily on smartthings, about 150 devices, so it can definitely work as a great platform. One of the problems though, is that any premium device type that Samsung makes (Washer, dryer, vacuum, tv) they always make the third party integrations either not function or be pretty much useless if it does. They want you to buy the Samsung stuff at a $$ premium. For a vacuum I use an ecovacs vacuum mop combo. It doesn't work with smartthings, but because my robot vacuum doesn't really need to interact with anything else, it's never been an issue. Highly recommend ecovacs, roborock, or eufy as brands.
