ECOVACS - T10 OMNI

Has been using Ecovacs omni t10. small hiccups with the software, but overall good experience so far

No, I think there may be something wrong. Keep an eye on it while it auto empties. See if you can remove the cover or even the bin during the auto empty to feel if it's sucking. Maybe the station itself is clogged. Make sure all the lids are closed and that all the gaskets are there too. I had a similar issue with my Deebot T10. However, that vacuum was programmed to only empty once at the very end of a run, and also it had two ports on opposite sides to suck dirt out, which was a terrible design. However, newer Deebot models, some roborock models and two Eufy models have just one port and they empty multiple times during the cleaning session, so this is a non issue for me. It's not an unreasonable ask, that's the whole point of an auto empty bin.

I've tested the Omnicyclone variant since about a month and half. There are 4 highlight features which i really liked - 1. Powerboost charge - Basically fast charging at 180W while washing the roller if extremely large house, you can put it on extreme setting which will ensure that it does not run out of charge. I tested it on standard default settings, with every wash cycle, its battery went up by 4-5%. I started robot at 52% and after finishing the house cleaning it had 82% left. So, was really impressed by that. 2. Bagless Auto empty - I kid you not, but the cotton filter on it is still as good as new. It does not even have 1 particle of dust on it to trap. Which means their big cyclone and other 14 small cyclones are so powerful that they are filtering almost everything. The maintenance is also very easy. No additional cost for bags. 3. Side brush and main brush lift - It does that when in AI mode and if it detects a heavy stain. The side brush and main brush lifts up to tackle the heavy stain till it is cleaned up. Detection of stain can be wonky depending on the colour, floor and lighting in the room. 4. 24mm threshold climb - This is not really that impressive because of other brands having better feature than this. 4mm does not relaly make a lot of difference. I just liked how they have installed its mechanism along with wheel. Its pretty cool.

Yeah, i guess. It has never been a standout point for ecovacs. I think only the omnicyclone has a competetive edge over other robots in market. Sometimes i feel that they have maybe over engineered it. Cause i really tried extremely hard to get the dilters dirty. But it just does not!!!

Cleaning solution helps wash the roller properly. If you explore a bit more, you can label the areas as "heavily soiled" that tells the robot to use the heavy solution. I've not really tested it by running without solution. But as per my experience, it keeps the roller quite clean. You can try without the solution and let me know how it hold up

Yes, hot water has quite high temperature. So it is able to wash the roller. Floor mopping without detergent is good as it remops soiled areas multiple times

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 love ours. I do NOT recommend the Roomba however, as their mapping software is awful and I have to spend a lot of time babysitting and reprogramming it. Having a self emptying vacuum is essential, otherwise it's not worth the hassle. I love the self washing mop option. Ecovacs Omni self emptying combo vacuum / mop is great on our hard surface floors but mediocre on rugs and carpet. I believe Roborocks may hit the sweet spot of vacuuming carpets well with the double roller design that works so well for Roomba, while having decent map handling. All that being said, an alternative that made a big difference for us is a good stick vacuum from Dyson or Shark. Take the time to hang the charger in as place where you can quickly grab the vacuum as needed. I bought a second "stick" so we call swap between the carpet head and hard surface floor head quickly and easily. Do your research now and then wait for Black Friday sales. You can check online but are likely to get better prices actually going into a store to get the item if possible. Costco and Target have had great sales on these in the past.

Yeah, my Ecovacs with lidar cruised through our open floorplan house and made the map in under 10 minutes, as compared to days of clearing the floor and running the Roomba for hours. And the Ecovacs doesn't continuously override the map and add or delete rooms, move the base station to think it's *inside* the wall, or do any of the other idiocy that Roomba keeps doing.

The roller and track mops are awesome and totally replace mopping. The disk mop type do not. If you get a Dreme Aqua, do not get one with the roller guard/drip guard. The roller has this. The "track" does not. Get the Aqua 10 track. Or the ecovacs omni roller. Or eufy e25. Reason..... The aqua 10 roller guard can drag and scratch the floor. It doesn't scratch tiles, but it will scratch urethaned or wooden floors. I'm about to take mine apart and remove the roller guard. I wish I got the aqua track model or a roller but a different brand that doesn't have the guard, like eufy e25. The Dreame app is slow and takes patience, but hey once it's set up and tweaked, you don't have to use it too often. But a snappier app would be nice

Ok so I have bought 3 robovacs in the last month. a cheap roborock with no dock, a j15 ultra and a ecovacs omni. By far the best mapping was roborock. But the other two vacs are better as they mop and have docks. The eureka j15 pro ultra is the best but the ecovacs isn't much worse for half the price. I paid 250 for the roborock, 650 for the ecovacs and 1200 for the eureka j15. My favourite is the j15 pro ultra and its not much different to the j15 ultra going for 900 now. The battery lasts way longer than the ecovacs omni but both do about the same level of cleaning. I run both mine twice a day just to see how they go and my floors have never been cleaner, whatever way you go a robot vac is awesome. Just schedule in and it cleans, best m9ney I've spent in a while. And yes I do need a couple as I have a large house. This is australia pricing aswell and I bought on the Amazon sales so they were cheap.

I got an ecovacs omni and it was broken right out of the box. So probably not that one

We have this one too and it is so good. Vital for us now with two cats who like to shed. Initially it was a little bit expensive but so so so worth it.

Plenty of YouTube channels that do objective testing and reviews. I've got the Ecovacs Omni with the docking station and it's great. Docking station is a must in my opinion. Especially if you have a larger home. It's the difference between the whole house being vacuumed, and just the remainder of the capacity in the robot, which varies depending on when you emptied it last. Ours mops as well, a handy feature if you have hard surfaces too.
