Ecovacs DEBOT Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Review

This is a robotic vacuum cleaner from ECOVACS Robotics. This model is in the medium price range. It vacuums hard floors and carpet and has a spot clean mode. You can also control it by the remote control. This unit has an app that you can download from apple and google app store.

The battery seems to last for a long time. Less if you were able to use the high-power mode. The unit comes with a trey and filter to clean when you need to do so.

This unit uses Wi-Fi to connect to your phone. This way there are options you can change with the app like hard floor mode or edge mode and return to dock. The app also shows what mode it is in and how much battery is left.

The unit does a good job of finding its way around table legs and chairs and has a sensor at the front to stop it from hitting obstacles. Sometimes it does not return to the charging dock as it uses an infrared light to navigate back. The normal mode is a bit of a random pattern as it only knows where it has been, not what’s in the room. More expensive models have lidar which creates a map of the entire room.

The hard floor mode works well in the kitchen up and down in straight lines. The spot mode goes in a circular pattern. There is also an edge mode which does along the walls. Sometimes it gets stuck or the rotor gets string around it. This will send a notification to your phone letting you know what the problem is.

This vacuum cleaner is probable not suited for large rooms with lots of obstacles. More suited for rooms with hard floors and bedrooms.

A good robotic vacuum cleaner.
