ECOVACS - ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO T5

Currently the best mop available is on the ecovacs t5 series, it’s a dual spinning mop

I have a reasonably-older DeeBot with the laser and yes, it does well with avoidance and the mapping works very well -- when I transport it to the basement it knows and uses that map, and vice-versa. The only complaint I have with them is that the main brush motor gear assembly is buried and ALL of these, no matter who make them, have plastic gears in said motor assemblies -- they WILL fail over time (as will the batteries, like any other lithium pack), and when they do the availability of parts from other than "small packet" via China may be slim and none. These things are silly expensive to trash over a $20 part so parts access and capability to disassemble it and change components like this (and the parts are CHEAP -- if you can get them) is and should be a MAJOR consideration lest you wind up tossing it as soon as one of these parts go bad out of warranty.

It sounds like you need a versatile robot that can handle both mopping and vacuuming without making your rugs and carpets wet. I've tried the Roborock S7, which has a strong vacuum feature combined with a mopping system that lifts when it detects carpet, keeping everything dry. Another option to consider is the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo series, known for its advanced mapping and smart home integration, which helps optimize cleaning patterns. Both offer features that reduce the risk of wet carpets. If you're still unsure, checking out reviews on ConsumerRating could give you a clearer idea since they cover a wide range of models and features.

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 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.
