I hate housework. Hate it. And the kind of regular nagging things like vacuuming and mopping are just the worst. (Well, no. Dusting is the worst. I'm holding out for a fairy drone that does that.) I've never had a robot vacuum before although I've seen them in action at my brother's house, so I had some idea of what to expect. We don't have kids, but do have a dog and a tendency to drop things in the kitchen while chopping so there's plenty of need for regular floor cleaning. We have a relatively small one-floor condo.Setup was super easy. Only one piece to put together (although a lot of protective plastic to remove) and the quick setup guide was clear and easy to follow. They obviously got some actual English speakers to put together the documentation. QR codes made the technical parts of connecting to the wifi super easy. The unit was really well packed with nice almost cloth bags covering things. It looks really nice and sleek and doesn't take up as much space as I had feared.The vacuum unit had some trouble finding the station even when I put it right in there. Wandered all over the house. I had to turn the station on and off a few times before they were able to connect and get going.Mapping - it managed to figure out most of the place pretty quickly. I'm giving it a little time before I get serious about trying to edit the map to create more sections and zones. For the most part, it's got it figured out in a way that makes sense and is mostly based on the different floor types it found. I've had no trouble marking off a little zone of the mapped area to have it spot clean.Vacuuming - Did a pretty good job of this the first time through, although I did find a few places it failed to pick up a crumb or two. It gathered a lot of hair that first run with no tangles or issues with the roller. I thought I had picked up everything well before it started the first vacuum, but I failed on two counts, so had to rescue the robot. It returned to self-empty a couple of times the first time using the vacuum, which surprised me given how small our place is. Yes - that is probably a condemnation of my regular housekeeping skills.Mopping - Haven't tried this yet, but given the quality of the vacuum so far, I'm looking forward to trying this out.Noise - Not as loud as I would have thought, although you don't miss that it's running. And it talks! Which is how I know when something went wrong, although I did get notifications on my phone, which then sent them to my watch. It would be nice to selectively turn off certain types of notifications. I don't need it to tell me every time that the noise from emptying the dust bin would be loud and that the noise is normal.Light - the instructions say to make sure there's enough light for it to see as it's mapping and vacuuming but it has its own light. It's a pretty bright one too. It didn't seem to have any trouble with darker areas.App:Super easy to start a vacuum run, pause it, find the notifications when there's a problem. However, way too much in it that is unrelated to running the Deebot. Stuff about your account and points, the store, their blog. All I want to do is run my vacuum!Can choose specific areas to clean on the map, set up zones for future cleaning. There's a separate section for the robot and the station. For the station, you can set things like the dust collection power, wash method, etc. For the robot, Can choose to vacuum only, vacuum and mop, or vacuum everything then mop. You can set the suction power, water flow rate - all kinds of things to give you a custom clean. Probably way more than I need to have given the size of our tiny place. I do wish it would remember the settings for your last run, though. I would rather it defaulted to just vacuuming than vacuum and mop.Final Say:It would be hard for me to not be happy with having this little robot. I absolutely hate dealing with mopping and vacuuming is also a pain. I know - I'm a lazy housekeeper. Part of it used to be I had to lug things up and down three flights. But now I have just the one floor so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But I know myself and how much I really hate doing any kind of housework. Sigh. So this little guy is a great find. I'm looking forward to setting it up to do things on a schedule so I don't have to think about it and giving me two fewer chores to deal with.

The media could not be loaded. This product is a gift to my cousin and his family so this is their input on what they thought of this product. Here is their thoughts on the Ecovac Deebot T80 Omni:My family and I used to have a Roomba but it just wasn’t strong and thorough enough. That might have had to do with the Roomba’s mapping capabilities. We transitioned to a Dyson cordless vacuum. With our growing family and busy schedule with work and activities the floors were neglected and crumbs started piling up. So we decided to do give robovacs a try so that it would clean while we were out of the house. Our priorities were strength, wet mopping abilities, and thoroughness so finding the one with superior mapping was a must. Additionally, we have a Moroccan/Beni Ourain rug that sheds a TON and often clogged our past vacuums (corded Shark and Roomba). The Roomba also got stuck on the tassels a ton even though I programmed it to avoid area.Through some heavy research, we landed on Ecovac Deebot T80 Omni due to reviews of excellent mapping and strength.Setup: simple. 5 pieces to put together. Plug it in and have it against a wall. Fill one of the reservoirs with water. Download the app, set up account, connect to wifi. That’s pretty much it.TestMapping: it goes without saying but make sure to complete clear your floors of toys for the most thorough mapping process. Let it do its thing. It took a couple of hours to get my whole house.Update: 12 hours after the first couple of go around, it seems as though it’s getting a deeper understanding of the layout of my house plus the different types of surfaces it’s cleaning.Not going to lie, this has inspired my kids to keep things off the floor. Shame on us but we told them that if their things are on the floor the “robot” will eat it up.Update 2: I’m on day 3 and was in for a huge surprise. On the first day the vacuum sucked the rug tassels and got stuck which I had to undo. Today, it completely recognized the tassels and went around it.Vacuum: something I didn’t think about was the shape being important. The shape of this Ecovac was able to get under and in between our dining chairs and bar stools where all of our crumbs are. It was pretty thorough just off that capability alone.Wet mopping abilities: really solid. We have a corded Shark steam mop wet mop and while strong, the whole plugging into outlets was such a hassle so yes, we neglected that part of cleaning our house. This did a sufficient job for a robovac.Things that I didn’t consider when buying but totally a huge plus:Volume: lol our Roomba was loud. This was probably 50-75-% of the volume. I let it run at night in the kitchen and I didn’t notice it.Light: there’s a flashlight at the front that helps the camera find more crumbs/debris which was a game changer. Add a point for thoroughnessAuto empty: This Ecovac has a sensor that recognizes when it’s getting too full and immediately docks itself to empty. Crazy.Alerts: if it stops, it announces why it stopped which takes out the guessing and troubleshooting. There was a case of a ton of hair tangling and wanted me to pause the cycle and wipe it out. Super simple. Our Dyson had an issue and had no idea why. We thought it broke. Spent a good amount of time on YouTube to find the exact video to fix the issue.Auto cleans the mop with heat when docked: caught me by surprise so I thought that was a nice feature. They are machine washable as well so I’ll be doing that.AppFunctionality: took a second to figure out. But after playing around for a bit, it made sense. I like how you can select the room you wanted to clean. I primarily want the kitchen/dining area cleaned right after meals so I just run it for those two areas as soon as we’re done eating so that was awesome.Settings: I appreciate how you can set it for vacuum and/or wet mop, strength of suction, water flow, cleaning speed and cleaning passes. I haven’t played with the advanced settings but at first glance, there’s some in depth offerings that I look forward to utilizing eg room sequence (living room then dining room then master), carpet deep clean.ConsApp: definitely a learning curve. I couldn’t hand this to my mom for her to figure out. I might have to coordinate the settings she would want myself.The Little Brush That Could: I’m pretty sure that it’s there to gather dirt and push it towards the vacuum but the times I was monitoring the performance I saw it brush away debris which made me giggle. But due to the complete mapping/programming it eventually picked it up.Overall: we are extremely happy with this product. If you have kids that drop food crumbs or sticky liquid, this is a must. The wet mop did a great job enough to justify the purchase. Additionally, we don’t see remnants of our Beni Ourain rug all over the baseboards or under our credenzas because of house powerful and thorough the mapping is.
