Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI vs 360 S5

But I must say, when vacuuming this thing is absolutely stellar. Clean as a whistle. Cleaner than the house has ever been. No dust in the air, nothing

5-pound S9, but still feels sturdy. It's on the large size at 13.9 inches in diameter and 3.9 inches high, making it a bit too tall for some low-profile furniture

It did leave a decent amount by my desk and it doesn't have amazing edge cleaning, but you know again it's a robot. If i ran this a second time. I thi...

Which leads to the question, would you prioritize wet mopping over the price, or mopping is not at all important for you when you're about to select y...

If you are very savvy, I highly recommend this unit. It has excellent suction, decent edge cleaning, fantastic navigation, and the camera allows it to avoid obvious unexpected obstacles most of the time. There are some situations where couch curtains may confuse it, but they do seem to be frequently pushing out firmware updates to improve performance. I have no reason to believe this will stop any time soon since all their future vacs will have these features

Next, I'm going to run through an area clean with one pass and standard suction to see how well it does at picking up fur, crushed crackers, rice, and...

That was with preparation! I wanted this to be easy and it became quite apparent this would not be. If you had no kids, no animals, and we're a clean person, this would be incredible! If you have to pick up and organize before you robo vacuum, then I'm not sure it's really a timesaver. So, I'd rather do it myself and leave the frustration behind.

Dustbin is simple to remove and easy to empty. Doesn't look like it will have 'leakage' issues there is some kind of rubber or silicone around the seal to open and close the dustbin to empty it. Dustbin does have a small Hepa filter in it though I cant tell you if it is effective or not.

I will offer a quick refresher before i get to the auto empty bin. The echovax t8aivi is a seriously good robot vacuum. It has more power than just ab...

As much as I loved my S0, the always-on display on my S5 is a game-changer for me. Totally different user experience, in a positive way.

A rarely-used spare room and my office can easily get by with just an occasional cleaning. Oh, and if you have floor-length mirrors, the robot will think there's another room on the other side, but other than the map looking a little funny, it still finds boundaries and - this kind of surprised me - even correctly identified a couple of rooms by type (a hallway, a bathroom, a living room) Why didn't I give it five stars? The price. For the price, it's a good value, but not a trivial purchase. The software

Price: Looking to buy unlocked, not really wanting to spend more than $1K, but would prefer less, but would rather pay $100 more for an amazing phone than save $100 and have an ok phone

5. Self empty - if the dust bin is bit too full - do not empty it - no warnings - need to open it manually and clean it.

I've shown the housekeeper how to clean out the dust hopper and she concentrates on less routine chores.

Much quieter and smarter than the Roomba (doesn't scare you when it empties the bin and doesn't bump into everything in the rooms) but it lacks the suction and cleaning power of the Roomba. Good if used as a frequent light cleaner around the house.

Could be quieter but we run ours at night and no one really notices. Customer service is fast and helpful. We had an issue and they had us send back and fixed it promptly and returned to us.
