ECOVACS DEEBOT T20 OMNI Robot Vacuum Cleaner 6000Pa, Car Mop Lifting/Hot Water Mop Washing/Hot Air Drying/Automatic Emptying, 3D Structured Obstacle Avoidance Light, Double

Bought this when it was on sale, £150 if I remember correctly.It works fine, it will randomly move around picking up bits it goes over; I have hard floors and some rugs. It may miss some bits in corners but generally I would say it picked up 95% of the mess I left for it :). Some rugs I have to move or put out the way as it sounds like it is really struggling on the carpets. It will go over the same parts very often, but you can start it and carry on with life and it will generally hoover up most if not all of the mess on the floor.It also requires a large area for the base/charging; it will require 90cm either side to be free of obstructions and when you factor in the size of the charging unit itself, it's basically 200cm (2m; 6ft 7). Obviously you need that 200cm and an actual socket. Most people aren't going to have that as you will have, sofa's, tables, chairs, tv stands etc in the way. I haven't tried it with less space so I am sure it still works but may struggle to move around when charging and starting.Easy to clean, and was amazed at what it picked up on it's first go as it did go under the sofa which our traditional hoover would not fit; so it picked up a lot of dust on the first run. Comes with a brush/tool to clean it.Had trouble first setting up the wifi but now it works ok so I am able to operate from my phone/app; including controlling it with on screen buttons. I was expecting the app to give an idea of where it has cleaned, or even some stats. I believe the map area cleaned is available on other robot vacuums. When pressing the button on the app to send it to recharge it will take it's time getting back to base; I believe it uses infared sensors to get back, so only when the robot and charging station are in view of each other will it go straight back; otherwise it will just carry on moving around the rooms until it finds that signal.Not tried Alexa integration. You also have a remote to control it or set times when it should start cleaning.Overall, for the price I am very pleased and saves a lot of time. It is by no means a solution to your household duties; but can keep the mess down and save time.

After some initial teething problems getting it set up, it works great. Did what I expected it to do. If you want know know more keep reading:The wi-fi integration on this Deebot isn't great. If you can't separate the 5ghz and 2.4 good networks in your house you may struggle to set it up. I ended up taking my phone and the Deebot to the bottom of my garden to ensure I was out of range on my 5ghz network. One I did this I read able to set it up via the app.The app itself is slow to connect to the Deebot. But once connected it's fine. I ended up using my account and signing in on both my phone and my wife's so we both have access to the device.The Deebot is dumb. By this it doesn't map your room or your floor plan. It just bumbles around your house doing what it can. I will miss some areas, and other areas it will vacuum to with an inch of its life.While is running the suction is ok for a daily trundle while you do other things, but it won't replace a good vacuum cleaner.It does have a max setting but still not as good as a good vacuum cleaner. It does pick up well and the sweeping brushes at the front do get into corners and the edge of your room.We have both carpets (low pile) and lino and it works on both with no problem. It even managed to move over the lino to carpet gripper with no problems.The battery on normal running last for about 1.5 hours. I find that is enough for it to do is best for 1 floor of the house.When finished because it doesn't map your house it did is best to find the barge dock. This can take some time as it bounces around your rooms looking for it's home.One thing I didn't know when I bought this is it had consumable items. The front sweeping brushes and the beater bar have a life span. Your can buy them on Amazon. But be aware you will have to replace them. I don't know how long they will last as my Deebot is only a few days old.Overall I would recommend this for daily cleaning to supplement your normal cleaning. Great little device.

I had the T10 before this and the mopping function and options on the app on this one are far superior. However the mapping is a big issue on this model, in our house the robot constantly gets lost, can't find zones etc. and I don't think the hoovering is quite as good as on the T10.The new rubber style brush is brilliant for hair as it doesn't tangle as easily as the old plastic style so I much prefer it, however the bearing on ours came loose and has been hoovered up!The station gets really dirty and the mop cleaning bit frequently gets blocked up by hair that hasn't hoovered up properly.When it's working well, it's a great unit and leaves rooms really clean, I think the battery life is decent and WiFi connectivity is good, but I don't think it's very reliably good so it only gets 4*.
