It is an efficient robot vacuum, but you need to empty its dust bin regularly especially if you have a large house. In the end, it’s just not as effective as mopping it yourself, although it may give you a bit more time between proper cleans. I realized the pressure from the Ozmo 920 never really pushed hard enough against the floor to truly mop up anything significant. But the T8 AIVI has one extra feature that is singularly unique to the Ecovacs line — it includes a security camera inside. I have an older model that only vacuums and have always said… if there was one that vacuumed and mopped that was affordable.

It is most suitable for those who have multi-story homes because it can save up to 3 maps, and also has cleaning customisation options that are helpful for those who have large houses. In the Ozmo 920's case, you'll also want to download the Ecovacs Home app (which works for both iOS and Android devices) so you can take advantage of its smarts. She covers everything from kitchen appliances to smart home devices, from floor care to personal care to air care technology. The reason to note this is the higher setting is going to be louder — so this won't be something you'll want to do while watching a movie at home, for example.It will tell you when it's starting to charge, and even remind you to remove the cleaning plate for the mop when it needs to start charging.

Unlike other robot vacuums we've tested, the Deebot Ozmo 920 had a hard time getting over rugs — and then vacuuming them. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. Once you create an account with the app, you can easily add your robot by scanning a QR code, and then linking it to your home Wi-Fi. But what many smart home owners will like is there is Alexa and Google Assistant control, which will help you start and stop the Deebot just by asking.When it finally did, though, it did a thorough job as long as the vacuum was on the highest setting. Like most other robot vacuums the Deebot OZMO 920 detects objects in its path and changes direction. As we mentioned in our descriptions of both, we think they're fairly equal on a lot of fronts, particularly their mopping ability.

It uses Lidar, a method of detecting distance by illuminating a target with a laser and measuring reflected light with a sensor.I was eager, shall we even say thrilled, to try out a device that would both vacuum up dust and dog hair and then wipe down my floor while I was say watching the latest episode of "Succession. It also gives you more control over your cleaning jobs, allowing you to create virtual boundaries around areas you want the vacuum to stay out of, create custom cleanings, and select specific rooms to clean. And you can empty the bin right from the top — which is a nice feature as you don't have to turn the vacuum over to get at what it's swept up from your floor. I also noticed that after using the vacuum in floor cleaning mode on carpets daily, the brushes started to bend.
