Ecovacs Deebot T9+

It’s one of the best robot vacuum mop Ecovacs has made, and it can dynamically alter suction power the moment it senses a different surface. That’s not something you’d find in most robovacs. Moreover, for a bot that automatically empties itself into a replaceable dust bag, it’s very competitively priced, coming in significantly cheaper than the competition. But its headline feature of being able to spray air freshener when vacuuming – while nice – is really just a novelty.

The Ecovacs Deebot T9+ is easy to use and offers multifunctionality with vacuuming, mopping, and air-freshening. It has no issue cleaning up dust and lighter debris, although the air freshening feature is useless. Navigating spaces and avoiding obstacles is a non-issue for the most part, while an app creates a highly intelligent map and makes controlling the vacuum seamless. The auto-emptying feature is finicky, but can be forgiven for such a competitively priced option.
