Ozmo T8 AIVI

Is it good? I had a Deebot T8 AIVI for 5 years and it NEVER caused any problems until now. Need a replacement and don't want to spend that much

A bit late but I switched from Ecovacs to Roborock the other day, and holy hell the Roborock app is so much better. Ecovacs app always had issues with map corruption, dividing or merging rooms etc. The Roborock app just works. Jerry had a good life though, loved the T8 AIVI for 5 years.

We got the Dreame Ultra L50, as it was Vacuum Wars top rated robot vac at the time. It’s awesome compared to our previous Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI. The Dreame needs to recharge itself more often but never have any issues with it, unlike the constant remapping required with the Ecovacs. Happy with the mopping function but this is our 1st that mops.

Had a Roborock S5 for about 4 years, worked great but wanted auto empty. Had Deebot T8 AIVI I got refurb on ebay for $120, had it for two years and worked amazingly but sucked up dog poop (lol) so it's been sitting. I just ordered an X1 plus, also from Ecovac's official eBay refurb for $170, supposed to come today! I used to be a big Roborock fan boy and recommended them to all my friends but imo they have gotten too expensive and too complicated. Auto mopping isn't that important to me... because i have pets I have to use my crosswave several times a week.

I like Roborock, but to be fair, Ecovacs does work, at least not worse than Roborock for me. My Roborock S5 is slowly retiring. It used to clean the bedroom's floor, then went downstairs to the living room's first floor, and now it is on a partial retirement in the office room - smallest and easiest to clean :) Downstairs is Ecovacs T8 OZMO, which runs daily, with almost 3,000 runs in its lifetime. Not a single problem! Upstairs is Ecovacs X1 Omni, which runs 2-3 times a week, mopping. No complaints in the last 2 years, never gave me any trouble.

How is the mapping on Ecovacs now? I used to have a T8 and it was awful. The map would constantly get messed up and I would have to make it remap my house every week. It was awful at remapping and I would have to babysit it for hours while it did it. I ended up getting a Roborock Qrevo which has been amazing. I’ve had it a few years and never had to redo the map due to issues with the robot. The one I did have to remap was when I got it back from being serviced, and it perfectly mapped out my entire house on its own in under 30 minutes without me babysitting it. I’m mainly looking for a good mop, so I would be open to Ecovacs again if it’s actually improved now.

Ecovacs DeeBot T8, been running almost daily for 3 years without any issues.
