ECOVACS DEEBOT OZMO T5

Hello team, My home is 100% carpet free compromising of tiles only in 2 bathrooms and toilet and rest of home is laminate. Here in New Zealand, I can get Roborock, Dreame, Ecovacs, Roomba easily. I currently have Ecovacs Osmo 950 which I am not happy with. I have never used its mopping function and the vacuum works ok but a lot of hair gets tangled in brushes, internal bin is small and there is no big bin in dock to empty internal bin into so Inhave to empty is everyday. Also the mapping sucks. It screws up my mapping too often. I have 2 questions. 1. What is the best vacuum only robot? 2. What is the best vacuum + mop only robot? I can get Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, Saros 10R, Saros 10 etc, Ecovacs X11 Omni, Dreame Matrix 10, X series etc. A huge range is available here from these models. Ideally something which I don't have to worry about maintaining for 3 or 4 days would be good. Long hair is an issue with 2 girls in the house + a kitten. Kids make a mess on the laminate floors after every meal.

Thanks! That dreame model is also twice the amount of money. I currently have a ecovacs 950 which is just working fine for 5 years now. So I hope the newer T50 is at least as good if not better lol

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

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.
