Here is a review and demonstration of Ecovacs high-end Deebot Ozmo T8+ robot vacuum. This model is currently a Best Buy exclusive. This robot can vacuum and mop floors, has good navigation, an excellent software app, and a self-emptying charging dock. The robot itself is a slight step down in tech from the more expensive Ozmo T8 AIVI.
I tested the robot on various surfaces, and in all its cleaning modes. The robot is impressively loaded with modern tech, but has some drawbacks.

1st!
I’m disappointed this didn’t preform a little better. I really thought it would do better. I used to have 5 Neato bots and absolutely loved them. I’ve sold them now though because I enjoy manually vacuum too much and I felt cheated haha. Seems like this isn’t a robot that will unseat iRobot and their clean base offerings. Now if only Neato would wake up and make a self emptying option as well. Their 2021 lineup looks to be just more of the same from them. Great video!!
I got gifted one as my “ welcome to your new home” type thing and in my opinion this thing rocks. It might get confused and run in circles sometimes. But it has picked up so much dust and dirt off my carpets. And I was surprised that it was really quiet
Gotta love the dc17
It probably would have cleaned the kitchen better if you dialed down the speed a bit. I noticed it was all the way up. I have all hardwood floors and I keep it on the low setting and it seems to not knock stuff around as much.
I dont think this is the DEEBOT OZMO T8+ i think it comes with the 2.0 mop attachment
GREAT REVIEW! My Ecovacs T8+ does a good job cleaning but it’s navigation tends to fall short, it does not do well when encountering the corners of throw rugs and goes into a tizzy (runs in circles), the software is definitely on the poor side, and their technical support is the worse. It is almost impossible to divide rooms more than once unless you divide the room at an angle. Go figure. In addition, the robot steers clear of shiny surfaces such as stainless steel appliances which you pointed out. The ‘drop off sensors’ become confused when encountering geometric patterns on throw rugs and the robot runs around in circles. I got around this problem by blinding the sensors with masking tape. Ecovacs does not allow you to turn the ‘drop sensors’ off. I guess that they believe that everyone has a two story house. Lastly, the Deebot Pro Mopping System does not put out enough water and leaves the middle of the cleaning pad dry along with the floor no matter what water flow level you set it to. I returned mine. Not worth $100. When I submitted a review on the Ecovacs site, they refused to publish it. The following is their response. «Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time! Submit something new.» One of their «guidelines» is to not criticize Ecovacs technical support. Ecovacs does not accept any fair or honest criticism.
That’s longer carpet than I’ve seen any of the other reviewers have, or than my own carpet. That’s probably not helping anything, I bet.
Did you try running it on high suction? I’m wondering if it would do better just always using the highest setting (and slowest speed). If you still have it, I’d love to hear more.
I’ve noticed my Roomba 960 is better at surface debris and my hoover upright is better at deeper debris. Having four dogs using the Roomba and running it twice a day let’s me use the upright once a week instead of every other day.
I got it on Black Friday deals too, today I just ordered mopping pro and hoping will work great
My house was not cleaned for about three weeks. Left it on purpose until this little guy arrives. Honestly, I was speechless when I saw how much and well he cleaned. So big thumbs up
Who can help me with a pdf instructions or a link to it? I have the 8+, perfectly packed with foam and double box, and white sleeves and an installed dustbag, but no instructions….🤷🏽♀️ I have no idea how to start with the app. Couldn’t find one on the internet with the exact type like this one.
Deebo 😂
It doesn’t seem to do a good enough job based on this video.
Would you recommend this one or the roborock s6 maxv?
Hi I bought this model that came with the automatic bin disposable and have been using it for 2months but of late after cleaning the vacuum cannot go up the ramp of the automatic bin with the mopping pad attached which it had no issue earlier now in order for it to go up the ramp I have to remove the mopping pad ! I have contacted the company and was told that I have to remove the pad which means I have to be around the house till it finishes mopping than what is the point of getting the so call intelligent robot vacuum! Could you tell me who should I speak to with regards to this problem!? Thanks
My vacuum shouts at me everytime it does anything. In the middle of the night it’s shouts at me on how it’s now gonna charge itself
What kind of a handheld vacuum do you use in the video?
