Dyson Humdinger vs Ecovacs Deebot T8+

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

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

The humdinger uses radial roots cyclone technology, which means you won't have any loss of suction since it has eight cyclones that generate an incred...

Yes, its really good with that - much better than the normal brush rolls with bristles. I tried the Ecovacs T8+ before and that one i needed to clean every 2 days with my 2 long haired cats. Sometimes you need to remove the hair on the ends - also on the little spinning bristle. But thats fast and easy - much less maintanance than other robot vaccuums

It offers a maximum of roughly half an hour of continuous runtime on a single charge, which should be more than sufficient for most spot-cleaning tasks. You can increase its suction power for dealing with especially stubborn messes by using the 'MAX' suction switch, though running it in this power mode decreases its battery life to just roughly 10 minutes.

Your furniture, cabinets, stairs or drop offs, no go zones all need to be subtracted from the SF. It’s actually fairly quiet (on tile or hardwood floors on medium) that you can run it at night. Carpet mode or max suction is louder. It does map out and have a back and forth logic unlike first gen robot vacuums that just randomly turn away as they bump into things

I've gone through quite a variety of handheld vacs over the years for cleaning Golden Retriever hair from carpeted steps. They all sucked- until they didn't! Annoying cords, smelly filters, and impossible to change belts made we dread this chore! They were bulky and loud too! I LOVE how the head of the tool pivots so I don't have to do advanced yoga moves on the stairs in order to switch between the horizontal and vertical surfaces! Thank you, Dyson! While your products are expensive and the sticker shock has made me avoid your products in the past, I now understand that you really do get what you pay for! I'm a convert!!!

TL;DR: Easier than manually vacuuming & sweeping and works pretty well. Much better than cheaper & older models I've used in the past. Pros: It can quickly map out the space and then travel a logical route to completely cover it, even without using the pre-mapping feature. The app works pretty well

I primarily used it as a handheld vac. The Humdinger does not have the same power, the crevice nozzle has an inferior design and it is difficult to empty. I have to use tweezers or a knife to remove debris. Quite disappointed

Once I got them connected, I said, “Alexa, ask Deebot to go back to its charging dock,” and the robot followed orders and went right there. I then said, “Alexa, ask Deebot to start cleaning,” and it got back to work. It also worked well with Google Assistant, letting me start and stop cleaning jobs with just my voice.
