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.

I honestly want nothing to do with the new models. I have A T30S. I've had it for two years and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Personally, I would stick to the older models That have a decent track record. The new models are too expensive and you can find them for 50% off just 18 months later.

Longtime Neato, Roomba, and Braava owner here. Tried smarter bots and found the Ecovacs Deebot T30S disappointing but am very happy with two Dreame X50 Ultra bots, one white and one black. My Roomba 980 and Neato XV Signature Pro are still good for turning loose in areas the new ones can't get to by themselves. Tried a new Roomba Combo to future-proof those areas but it was basically a downgrade. We wore out the little Braava 380t, but I haven't looked for parts because the Dreame bots do a much better job with much less effort from me.

In USA they seem to cover warranties without argument. I don't think much of the features or the quality, but Ecovacs did replace my Deebot T30S when the dock started leaking. The replacement is for sale now because I've moved on to Dreame, but I may try an Ecovacs window bot as they seem to have unique expertise in that area.

Read the reviews. The Dreame X50 has won awards and most of their lineup is highly regarded. I haven't tried the top-of-the-line Ecovacs but I had a midrange T30S and the Dreame X50 Ultra is so vastly superior I bought a second one to replace the Ecovacs.

I had a T30S which is a mid-range model so this is not a 1-to-1 comparison with the top-of-the-line Dreame X50 Ultra. I suspect T50 is also mid-range and that something like the Ecovacs X90 would be a better comparison. Having said that, I'll just say that the T30S drop sensors, optical encoders, climbing, navigation, mapping and app features are inferior to the X50 Ultra's. When the T30S dock sprung a leak, Ecovacs would not engage with me about a replacement part and just replaced the whole package — a leak and a swap being situation normal with any of these Chinese brands — so since I was going to lose the map anyway I decided to replace the replacement with a second Dreame X50 Ultra. Have not regretted it one bit.

I’d get the MOVA P10 pro ultra as MOVA/dreame’s obstacle avoidance is one of the best. It’s also a de facto flagship robot at the same price range as the other two which are mid range robots and will blow them out of the water. The roborock QX Revo only has structured light which isn’t very good for obstacle avoidance anyway. The ecovacs has pretty bad obstacle avoidance too but this is mainly due to a lack of an LED fill light and poor firmware. https://youtu.be/wbkEQ03wZEM When i run everyday to vacuum first then mop, the floors were noticeably cleaner and my wood floors had a sheen to them and felt softer over time. Much more barefoot friendly if you ask me.

Roborock and MOVA / dreame generally have better navigation and mapping than ecovacs. As for less maintenance, the MOVA P10 pro ultra has a self cleaning mop washboard which is the same as the L40 which generally moves most dirt and dust to the drainage area. Not a fan that the bottom isn’t completely removable like roborock so this is a flaw that can be a dealbreaker for you. https://youtu.be/QjUASR3DdIE

I’ve got ecovacs model too, and it is t30s. A robot vacuum really saves me a lot of time with floor cleaning, and this one I’ve been using it for a few months now, no major problem so far.

If mopping is your first priority, I guess you might look into some roller mop models, since those tend to be better at it. But if you are also considering other types, I've been using T30s for quite a while, it's a dual spinning model and I think it works pretty decent. I haven't found any major issues.

My bf got us an ecovacs t30 for our 3-cat household. Not sure how much it cost, but knowing him, I don’t think he’d spend a ton on it lol. It’s been vacuuming solid on both floors and carpets, picking up fur pretty well for about 6 month now.

Maybe. But the discounts can change from year to year, I got my deebot during last year’s bf. I’m actually proud that I’ve managed to keep up the habit of cleaning it regularly ever since:)
