ECOVACS OZMO T8

This is my third Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuum. My first one was a T10 that I’ve been using downstairs for over 3 years and it still works great, which I really believe Ecovacs Deebot is a reliable brand. Last year I bought a T50 for upstairs, and I loved the automatic mop washing and drying feature, so this time I decided to upgrade downstairs to the newer T80 too.I just set up the T80 couple days ago, and I feel it's smarter and stronger than the T50. It cleans corners and edges better, and also seems quieter while running. I’m happy that I don’t have to remember to take the mop pads off and wash them by hand anymore. It definitely makes daily cleaning easier and saves me a lot of time. So far I’m very impressed with it.

This is my third robot vacuum and by far the best! I love the roller mop as opposed to the spinning discs. I run this thing 4X/week and it does a fabulous job. Only thing technology hasn’t perfected yet is getting in the corners. The vacuum suction is incredible. It’s so easy to empty and refill the water reservoirs. And easy to clean the vacuum. And the best part -the mapping system. For some reason on my other two, if the robot got stuck and I had to pick it up, it couldn’t adjust to where it was, and I end up having to re-map the house over and over again. Never had that issue with this vacuum!

Tried to do research on vacuum/mop robots but they're mostly tied in categories. So I picked my criteria of good mapping, good obstacle management, and good mopping. That narrowed it down to just two for me and I just picked the T8. I chose not to get the T8 AIVI with the camera as I don't care to have a photographic map of my house available. It's bad enough there's a digital map but if you want mapping vs random, you have to allow it. So this little machine completely exceeded my expectations. First with the mapping. It mapped our whole 3000 foot house very precisely (less one room we blocked off) and managed to shockingly vacuum the entire house on one charge the first time. Our house is all hardwood tile with rugs. It crawls right onto the rugs, turns up the vacuum, and then back down to the hard floor and turns down the vacuum. The second time it ran out of juice before it was finished and I had to carry it back. Since then there was a firmware upgrade and it usually finishes the whole house and gets back to it's charging station on one charge. Once it wasn't quite done and it announced it was heading back to charge. Impressive. Mopping was trial and error. It remapped the house for mopping, carefully avoiding any rugs. The problem is some of the rugs don't leave enough hard floor for the robot to get through so it avoids those areas. I flipped up the corners of the rugs to give it room to pass and it works fine . Remember, it's not really "mopping", it's dragging a wet pad along the floor. The pad coverage was OK, but I decided to run up the water to max and it's much better. Pad wet trail behind the T8 is still about 75% the width of the pad. I keep an eye on it, and when the water tank gets low, I pause the robot, refill the tank, clean the pad, and let it keep going. This vastly improved performance. I haven't used the app to tell it to re-do specific areas yet, but I will experiment with that in the future. I may consider purchasing the shaker mop, but for the time being, I vacuum one day, mop the next, then one day off, so the floors are actually staying pretty clean. The T8 works its away around all our chair legs very nicely, and it only got stuck once, behind a curtain. I'm not sure why it didn't avoid the curtain, but this is very good performance in my opinion. We have a small dog and I read that if your dog has an pooping accident, robots won't stop and go around, instead smearing the accident as it goes. So we ran a test with a small Baby Ruth bar (hat's off to Caddyshack) and the T8 ran into it and kept going. Bad news if your "accident" is real. Perhaps the AIVI version with the camera and AI would recognize it and go around, but I just don't want a camera.All in all I'm pretty impressed. I vacuumed the house before we let it run loose the first time and the bin still filled completely up (the T8 runs under our beds!). When we ran it the second day it filled up again so I assume it got so full the first day it couldn't take any more debris. Now I pause and check it after an hour. It vacuums as it mops too and it's still picking up residual dust and hair. I won't be getting the tower that cleans the bin. I think it's too tall and I'm placing the T8 under a shelving unit to keep it out of the way when it's not in use. If I feel the mopping isn't working well with the high water setting and moping every third day, I'll consider the shaker. But I gotta say, I'm amazed at how well this worked out.

I replaced my iRobot J7+—which I’d ​​used for five years—with this robot vacuum. I’m aware that the model I purchased isn't the very latest release, but from a technical standpoint, the technology is already highly mature. This robot vacuum utilizes AI vision and radar-based obstacle avoidance; it is significantly smarter than the robot I used previously. My old iRobot would frequently get lost under the dining table (hindered by the chair legs), whereas this T80 model is quite intelligent, and so far, I haven't encountered that issue. Another reason I chose this particular model is its mopping capability: you simply need to fill the water tank with clean water, and it mops the floor using a slightly damp roller while simultaneously vacuuming. It can also automatically detect carpets in the bedroom; when vacuuming a carpet, the mopping roller automatically retracts. The companion app features a video function, allowing you to remotely control the robot to check on the situation at home. By the way, I did run into a specific issue during setup—which I eventually resolved after consulting various instructions and user feedback—regarding the connection to my home Wi-Fi. It is absolutely essential to select the 2.4 GHz band when connecting the robot to your network. If your router broadcasts both bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) under a single, unified Wi-Fi name, I highly recommend renaming the 2.4 GHz band to give it a distinct name. Additionally, you should set your Wi-Fi password to be as simple as possible—for instance, "12345678." Otherwise, the robot will be unable to establish a connection with the server. As illustrated in the image I’ve included, you will encounter a "Failed to connect to server" error. I hope sharing my experience proves helpful to you!

The pros:It vacuums and mops, doesn't really do either all that well but it's good enough for maintenance but you'll still need to do a deep clean from time to time (especially mopping), so it cuts down on the work my wife needs to do.Cons:The programming/software needs a lot of improvement!The map feature is ridiculous to try and zone, we managed to make it work but it's not how we want it because the program would not let us end a room where it should end. It's not very user friendly.The Deebot regularly can't find the base after cleaning. I've witnessed it run over the base several times while vacuuming (I suppose it's not a shape it recognizes to avoid), but can't find it when it's time to charge.It also has issues knowing which floor it is on, I sure wish there was a way to tell the app which floor it is on instead of the need to use the locate button, which rarely works.It runs out of battery and has to return to the base but can't find it, then you have to go and find where it ended up, you'll really enjoy this if you like playing hide and seek.The cleaning path isn't logical at all, it will clean one room, then go to the other end of the house to clean another room, then come back to where it started to clean an attached bathroom, then go back to the other side of the house for another room. This is probably why it regularly runs out of battery before finishing.More times than not, it can't locate itself even with strong wifi, so I have to use the auto start feature and hope it figures out where it is, which really stinks when I just want to vacuum one area.Even when it figures out which floor it is on and starts cleaning it shows the charging unit in the wrong part of the map. How is this possible, it starts at one point and knows it was charging there but then shows the charging station on the other end of the house. Then, the robot can't find the charging station later.The programming could be MUCH better and I certainly would like to see more firmware updates showing the company is working on some of these issues.We paid extra for the mob attachment and the Deebot drops the attachment every now and then.We paid extra for the mob attachment and the Deebot drops the attachment every now and then, we haven't been able to figure out why. We know it's attached securely but it will just drop it while cleaning.Our laundry room is tiled and is beige with an erratic brown splotched pattern. The Deebot can't tell the difference between the brown pattern and cat poop. It's spread poop all over the tile floor more than once.Lastly, we still have to vacuum regularly because the T8 isn't nearly as powerful as our whole house system but my wife is a bit of a clean freak and appreciates it for the maintenance aspect. Just know that a deep clean is still necessary on a regular basis and you'll still need to vacuum stairs!Update:We are at the point where we have some sort of issue every time we run it now. I really should give it one star but am giving it two because my wife loves having her vacuuming cut down even if the Deebot is a pain to work with. I wish I would have gone with another brand, this will be the last Deebot product I purchase unless they are able to fix some of the issues. The location service is a big part of the frustration!Update 6/11/2021 - Our Ecovac has been so irritating, one thing after another - programming is horrible, the unit can't find the charger, get's stuck spinning in circles with no obstacles around, and now the oscillating "PRO" attachment has stopped oscillating. Support is a joke, do yourself a favor and shop a different brand.

I have 3 kids, so keeping the floors clean all the time feels impossible sometimes 😅 This robot has honestly helped so much.The thing I love most is the mopping. It actually washes the floors well and doesn’t just drag around a wet pad like some other robots we had before. The floors really look and feel clean after it finishes.I also love the little side part that comes out to clean closer to corners and baseboards. Our old robot always missed those spots, but this one does a much better job.Another big difference is how quiet it is. We had other robot vacuums before and they were so loud. This one is much quieter and easier to run during the day without bothering everyone.There are also a lot of custom settings and programs in the app. Honestly, I’m not even using all of them yet because there are so many options, but I want to start learning more and setting up different cleaning routines.For our family of 5, this has been such a good purchase. It really helps keep the house looking clean without constantly cleaning floors myself.

I love this vacuum. Ecovacs has perfected the roller so that it doesn't need cleaning very often. I've had 4 or 5 robot vacuums and this on is by far, the best. The mop feature works great. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

This product is very good at cleaning. Initially, I was a little worried because I have a lot of long hair in my house, and I wondered if it would get tangled in crevices, but that didn't happen; it easily swept away all my hair.The suction power and mop's cleaning ability are both very strong. It avoids objects smoothly. sometimes, it gets a little confused in direction, but it quickly understands

Muy buena falta que trapee mejor

muy bueno, excelente para todos los dias mantener limpio los lugares mas visibles desde la casa.. 👍

Our 2nd Deebot Ozmo. The first lasted 5 years in a busy household. Used most days to keep the flooring clean, so it was an easy decision to get a new model from the same brand. However, this version came as an import and it seems that means it didn't come with a UK compliant plug / power lead. Luckily we had the original from the older machine, otherwise it would have meant a return. Worth checking the retailer is going to supply correct power lead if choosing to order one.

Rien a redire (après une semaine de utilisation seulement). J'ai été impressionné par la rapidité d'action, la cartographie et l excellente aspiration. Le T8 évite vraiment bien les objets environnants et s adapte très bien aux changements de surface (aspiration plus forte sur les tapis a poils courts).J'ai aimé la possibilité de sélectionner juste une zone personnalisée pour passer soit sur le tapis de l'entrée, soit autour de la table de la salle a manger. L'autonomie est excellente, aucune difficulté a faire chaque étage sur une charge (le multi étage était vraiment indispensable pour moi).Au niveau de la fonctionnalité serpillière, ça reste sympa mais anecdotique avec le système de base. Je regrette notamment de ne pas pouvoir y mettre de produit pour le sol (non recommandé par le fabricant) ou encore de devoir vider/remplir le réservation a chaque utilisation de celle-ci (et enlever/remettre la plaque de la serpillière également).Bref c'est un détail, je reste vraiment très satisfait de ce robot aspirateur qui devient même une petite animation assez amusante a voir travailler...a notre place 😁

Temos porcelanato polido, muito propenso a ficar com marcas após passar pano. Após pesquisa, optamos pelo T80 especialmente por ter o "roller mop". Não chega à perfeição mas é MUITO superior aos demais neste quesito, e atendeu muito bem às expectativas.
