About this deal

After that initial clean, Deemaid would “empty” after every single clean; but there was always waste left behind. I sent it out again with the same settings, and as soon as the battery hit 15%, the robot vacuum went back to the Auto Empty Station to recharge. However, Deemaid was able to free itself after plenty of failed attempts doing the same thing over and over again. But there’s always a catch – in this case, it’s that you’re limited to how many points you can use at once based on the product’s cost. I’ve had the Deebot T9+ residing in the main living space of my home for the past week, giving it easy access to the rest of my two-bedroom, two-bathroom home.

A second pass saw it collect another 7g, taking it up to 46g, which is a reasonable effort, but by this time the rice that hadn’t been collected was all over the place, and even the remaining four grams of rice looks like a lot when it’s all over your floor. The self-emptying proved to be a bit of a mixed bag as well, often struggling to suck all of the dust out of the N8+’s bin in one go. The mopping/vacuuming is great, but the Deebot T9+ is more likely to spread a big spill around rather than pick it up. If there’s a disappointment about the Ecovacs Deebot N8+, it’s that it doesn’t fully live up to its promise. To start, it went to my living room, traversing with relative ease, even going under furniture that was mere millimeters from the laser mapping tool that sits on top.If you find the vacuum struggling to get around certain rugs or pieces of furniture, there’s a boundary tool, where using either a square or line, you can block off certain areas. The robot has two sweeping brushes at the front, one on each side, to gather debris from the floor and feed it into the vacuum aperture. This is a significant item to have plugged in and visible in your home, much bigger than the usual robot vacuum chargers. I was also slightly disappointed by the Auto-Empty Station, which failed to remove debris from the dust box if it was too caked together.

This ought to come down to a question of how much you’re prepared to pay to have your robot emptied for you, but on closer inspection, it’s not quite that simple. Lift up the hinged cover on the top to reveal the easy-to-remove dust bin, which at 420mL in capacity, is similar to other robot vacuums. It doesn’t match up to the more expensive Dyson 360 Heurist, which was much better at picking up our artificial messes, but it’s a similar level of cleaning to other puck-shaped robots we’ve reviewed, such as the Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge. You can select between quick scrubbing and deep scrubbing settings, but they didn't prove to be very different – except that the oscillating mop goes a bit faster.

Mopping yielded similar results, doing a great job at cleaning up lighter spots and dust, thanks to the oscillating mop head.

In total, I may have spent one minute doing this before each clean, but that tiny bit of effort was worth it to get optimal results. After you’ve settled on the map, it’s easy to select specific rooms or map out custom areas to clean. The Ecovacs Deebot N8+ comes in a much larger box than most robot vacuums because of its charging station, which also functions as the emptying bin.A cleaning tool is actually provided on the vacuum to make removal easier, and it's recommended that you replace the brush after every 300 hours. The app can also be used to set up scheduled cleaning, and you can set it to clean individual rooms or perform a spot clean by selecting an area on the map. Sure, you might think it’s a bit of a splurge, but considering all the time that’s spent keeping your floors clean, the investment will pay for itself. Once the battery has dropped to 15%, to charge it back up will take some time, with Ecovacs claiming 6. From this I’d say you get about 3 hours of use with each charge – which aligns with Ecovacs' 175-minute claim.
