Great for maintaining with vacuum AND mopping features
5 Stars
Great for maintaining with vacuum AND mopping features
Over the years I have wanted a robot vacuum, but waited until my research findings allowed me to decide on a unit that was worth the money. I finally chose this unit because it vacuums, mops, self cleans (and uses hot water to self clean), air dries it’s mops after the self clean, empties out its dust bin into the base station and holds enough water to clean my entire house (1800 sq ft). This unit did not disappoint. Another thing to mention is my husband cannot take the noise of a loud noisy vacuum as he has severe tinnitus and that noise will cause it to get extreme. I was worried about just how noisy this unit would be - couldn’t find much in the reviews about noise level. Well, I am happy to report that as the vacuum is going, it is very tolerable. It is a low hum that you barely hear in the next room. The unit arrived in a rather large box, was packed well inside the box, and was easy to take out and set up. One thing to mention is you will need to download the app on your phone and connect it to your network that your phone is connected to. (I made the mistake of downloading an app that asked for a lifetime one time fee of $24.95). Turns out you don’t need that app- make sure to scan the machine’s QR code to get the free app that comes with the machine. This QR code is on the inside of the base station lid.Once I set up the machine, (note I filled the tank with plain water), I set it off to go explore the house. It mapped out my house and returned to its base. I then went on the app and labeled the rooms it mapped out and then set it off to clean the living room floor. The machine at first appeared to wander around the perimeter, but then started a methodical cleaning once it completed a perimeter run. When it found rugs or carpet, it turned off its mop feature, raised the mops and increased the suction of the vacuum. When it rolled off of the carpet it lowered the suction, lowered the mops and started the vacuum/mop feature. When it reached the end of the cleaning, it announced it was complete in its cleaning and that it would return to home.I have real wood floors, linoleum, rugs, and carpet throughout my home. The machine adapted to every surface. Only once did it get stuck under a dining room chair where it could not get out of the position. It turned itself off and announced that it was stuck and to please remove it from the jammed area.I would like to see some improvement on the app, (it would not allow me to divide a large room (that is really 2 rooms) as it says “error” tap to divide room again.The machine also has a camera, so you can record or watch what it cleans. Pretty fancy for a robot vacuum.I give this unit 5 stars as it has done everything to my expectations and I have floors that are gleaming clean.Now, if they could design one that dusts furniture (hover to tabletops lol), my cleaning experience would be perfect.I did not use any tech support so I am not rating that.One last thing to add, I bought the unit on good Friday at a great deal of 30% off. So instead of $1,500.00 I paid $1,000.00.Update: It has been a few months. I named my robot Rosie- Rosie does a great job of maintaining my floors. I start her once a week and she keeps everything gleaming. One time I accidentally left my phone charger cord hanging on the floor. I was not home while Rosie was cleaning and she sucked up the cord. She stopped and sent me a message to clear her rollers. When I got home, I found her sitting where she stopped and opened her up, pulled out my cord and cleaned some wrapped hair that was wrapped as well. I am amazed she still worked great with the end of the roller wrapped with hair. Once clean, I sent her home and restarted her. She started right up and worked perfectly. I am still thrilled with my machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8 months of use; and now a review!
Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2021
I’ve owned my Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI and an Auto-Empty Station for eight months now, and I decided to use the system for quite a while before posting my review. I wanted to give an in-depth and honest opinion about it. Although there continue to be some annoying glitches, I’ve decided that the Deebot T8 AIVI and the Auto-Emptying Station are a big help to me when it comes to cleaning my house! I hope some of my comments here will help others to decide if this set-up is a good choice for their home.
• Let me start by saying that ordering from Amazon was easy and fast. And, the price was as cheap as any other retailer advertising this new model in my area. At the time I wanted to order a Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI, all of the local retailers in my area were out of stock. Amazon was out of stock as well, but within a few days, the robot became available again on Amazon. But it was still not available to purchase at my local retailers. I’ve never had an issue with ordering from Amazon, so I placed my order.
• Once both boxes arrived, I didn’t have any problems at all with downloading the Ecovacs app to my cell phone. That was easy. What wasn’t so easy was trying to get the app to work, and the robot to be connected to the app. I discovered that I had issues because the Wi-Fi in my house was set to 5 GHz, and not the 2.4 GHz that’s required for the robot to work. Although I have a dual-band modem/router, the 2.4 GHz network wasn’t set up for me through my Internet provider. After contacting my provider, and getting a reset of my router, I was good to go. If I want to, I can switch my Wi-Fi from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz when the robot isn’t running. It would be so much easier, though, if Ecovacs would somehow program the robot to work on either band. With that being said, the new outdoor security cameras I recently purchased also only work on the 2.4 GHz signal with my cell phone, so this re-set was necessary anyway.
• Now, the app works fine, and I haven’t had any issues. The robot has mapped two floors of my home. I’m able to schedule certain areas to be vacuumed daily [like the area rug in front of the front door]; I was able to setup some virtual boundaries in two places where OZMO tends to get stuck; and, the app lets me know when all parts of the robot and the emptying station need to be cleaned and/or emptied.
• I do have one major issue with the mapping: I’d like to be able to save more maps in the app! I have a two story home with a finished basement…three floors in total. Also, my family room is located one-step below the main level of our home, and OZMO doesn’t go up or down steps. And, a new sunroom addition off of that family room has a threshold that’s too high for OZMO to climb over. If I could, I’d like to have a map for all of the areas I need to clean…a map for the main floor, a map for the second story where the bedroom are located, one for the family room, one for the sunroom, and one for the basement. So, instead of just two maps that are allowed in multi-floor mapping—which I currently have set up as one map saved for the main floor and one map saved for the second story—I’d like to have five maps. However, in the end, it really doesn’t matter, as OZMO does a great job in the mapped areas, and it also vacuums and mops in those extra spaces without needing the maps. I just move OZMO and the Auto-Empty Station to each specific area, and OZMO auto-locates in each new area, and makes it back to the station when finished [usually]. Customer Service tells me that adding additional maps will likely be coming in the future. However, I wasn’t sure if this would be possible due to an update to the app, or only with a new model of robot in the future.
• Customer Support at Ecovacs told me that I could get additional Auto-Empty Stations if I don’t want to keep moving the one station that I have from one floor of my home to another. That’s something I’m still thinking about, as the Auto-Empty Stations are very expensive to purchase here in Canada.
• One glitch I don’t like is that OZMO occasionally can’t find its way back to the Auto-Empty Station when it’s finished with a task. On one occasion, it roamed around the main floor of the house, and stopped a few inches in front of the station. Another time, the robot meandered around the dining room before finally locking in on a signal, and then it made its way to the station, which is actually located in the dining room. Another time, OZMO just wandered around the main floor and could not figure out where it was at all. I have no idea why this happened. However, I just called up the app on my cellphone, and ordered OZMO back to the station for recharging. And, it then crept back to where it belonged for recharging. I don’t get so worried anymore if this happens, as I just grab my cell phone and tap the Return to Charging icon.
• As an update to the above, OZMO had trouble finding its way back to the station a few times last week, even with tapping Return to Charge. I notice that this is more of an issue if OZMO has not been used in a few days. When this happens, I just pick up the vacuum and return it to the charging station.
• OZMO is bigger in diameter than I had expected, and the robot can’t get into all the spaces in my house that need to be vacuumed. For example, it can’t fit between the bathtub and the toilet, or the toilet and the vanity. It also can’t fit between a few end tables and the wall, or between my bedside night tables and the wall. I’ve slightly re-positioned a few pieces of furniture to maximize the area that OZMO can cover. In other spots where this isn’t possible, I use a micro-fiber dust mop in the areas that OZMO can’t reach. But I have to say that OZMO covers about 95% of the floor area in every room. And, the time I have to spend with the micro-fiber dust mop is far less than the time it would take to do all of the vacuuming and mopping on my own.
• Although OZMO is able to get underneath my dining room table, and it’s able to vacuum and mop around the legs of the chairs, it can’t do this around the kitchen chairs when they’re left at the kitchen table. That’s because the cross-supports on the legs of these particular chairs are too low for OZMO to fit under. I do have to move the chairs from the kitchen table when OZMO is vacuuming the area rug there. Some days, if I don’t feel like moving the chairs, I just set up a temporary virtual border.
• Another issue has been with the kick-pleats on the bottom of my living room sofa and loveseat, and on the bottom of a few chairs, and the dust ruffles around two beds. OZMO sees these as solid walls, and will not vacuum or mop under these pieces of furniture unless I tuck up the kick-pleats and skirts so that the area underneath the furniture is accessible. A bit of a pain, but at least those areas are getting cleaned on a regular basis now, as I rarely bothered vacuuming under the beds or under the furniture before I got the Deebot. And, if I don’t have time to lift up everything, OZMO just doesn’t clean under the sofa, under the loveseat, under the chairs, or under the beds that day.
• When I first got the robot, I had a problem with OZMO not being able to navigate consistently from the hardwood floors onto two particular area rugs. OZMO could do it sometimes, but not other times. The robot could easily get onto two other area rugs, but these two particular rugs were sometimes a challenge. I noticed that this was more of an issue if I had removed the water tank for drying after mopping the floors. With the water tank in place, even when empty, there’s less of an issue about OZMO getting up and onto the rugs. I actually ended up trimming the under-padding of the two area rugs by about 1.25 inches all around the edges. This allowed the borders of the rugs to lie flat on the hardwood, which has made it possible for OZMO to get up onto the rugs now.
• There are spots in my home where OZMO always gets stuck. One is where an area rug at the front door is close to, but not up against, a step. And, he also tends to get stuck against the oven door in the kitchen. I think OZMO is just the right height to get jammed there. OZMO getting stuck in those places happened so frequently that I setup virtual boundaries. They’re not problems any longer! However, those are now areas that I have to clean myself. The other area is where a heat-vent register sits on top of an area rug at the front door. Because this register is slightly domed on top, OZMO tends to get stuck on it. Again, I put up a virtual boundary, and it isn’t an issue any longer. I think I’ll get a flat vent-register and see if that helps.
• Sometimes when I send OZMO to clean in a particular designated area, it doesn’t actually clean the whole area. OZMO will sometimes…but not always…clean only part of the area, and will then say it’s finished, and return to charging. Again, I’m not sure why this happens sometimes, but not others. I’m able to check the tracking on my cellphone app of what OZMO has cleaned, so when I see that OZMO hasn’t cleaned the whole area, my solution to this is to send OZMO back again. Some people will find this annoying. However, for me, having to do this still allows me to get other things done while OZMO is vacuuming.
• I do find that OZMO needs to be cleaned frequently. I often clean underneath the unit; I wipe the Fall Sensors with a micro-fiber cloth; I wipe off the infrared sensor area and the camera; I wash the brushes; I clean off the main brush; and, I have to clean or replace the filters on the dust bin. I also replace the vacuum bags in the Auto-Empty Station. All of this needs to be done more frequently than I had expected.
• I found that all of the third-party, no-name replacement parts that I ordered online—like side brushes, mopping cloths, dust-bin Hepa filters, the main floor brush, as well as bags for the Auto-Empty Station—all fit with no problem, and they were hugely cheaper than the brand-name parts. However, if you buy third-party replacement parts, make sure that they’re specifically labelled as being for the T8 AIVI.
• The mopping isn’t an outstanding feature, but I do believe that OZMO mopping my floors is better than me not mopping very frequently at all! I wash out the re-useable pads immediately after use, and I let them air-dry. An issue I have, and yet to solve, is that water droplets tend to remain in the water tank after emptying it. Even when left to dry in the sunlight or over a heat register, the moisture doesn’t easily dry out in the tank. This might become a problem with mold or mildew in the future, but I’m sure that I’ll figure out something before long! I’ve had chats with Customer Support about this issue.

So, to me, are the Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI and the Auto-Empty Station PERFECT solutions for not having to vacuum or mop myself? The short answer is “No,” they’re not PERFECT. There certainly are issues. But I love them anyway! I have to admit that it’s a pain to move OZMO and the Auto-Empty Station from one floor of my home to another, to pick up a few things off of the floor, to move the chairs away from the kitchen table, and to raise the sofa kick-pleats and bed skirts out of the way. However, the time it takes me to do all of this is definitely less than the time it normally takes me to get out my central vacuum, plug it in, and do the work myself. And, I can’t schedule my central vac to clean the area rug at the front door every evening at 5:30 PM after my husband has finished his daily run, and he’s tracking road grit into the house. It’s true…sometimes OZMO gets lost when trying to find its way back to the charging station. And, OZMO can’t vacuum or mop 100% of my floor space, so I do have to do a little follow-up work. However, considering everything, I really find that this robot saves me a HUGE amount of time that I can now spend doing other things. For example, as I’m writing this review, OZMO is busy cleaning and mopping my basement…the rec room, the bar area, the bathroom, the exercise room, and the laundry room. And, all I had to do was carry OZMO and the Auto-Empty Station downstairs. This robot vacuum, along with the Auto-Empty Station, is a KEEPER for me!

Estoy muy satisfecho con esta barredora, realiza su trabajo de forma eficiente. Me gustó tanto que adquirí otra para casa de mi mamá. Los únicos no muy contentos son el gato y el perro ;-) pero se acostumbrarán.
Levanta el polvo que no se ve y el pelo de las mascotas...uff!! sin problema. La configuración fue muy sencilla siguiendo las instrucciones, muestra un mapa en la aplicación del celular para revisar el área que limpió.
Hace un recorrido automático por toda la casa y al final pasa por todo el contorno. Unos 25 metros cuadrados en menos de una hora. La batería alcanzaría para otros 10 metros cuadrados más sin problema.
