[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a while back and after ironing out the mapping feature it has been a great addition to my household. I love the fact that I can start it at work when I find out guests are coming over, the house is clean before I get home.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very satisfied with the performance, the mapping is Great and it’s one of my favorite gadgets of all time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful suction for pet hair and dirt. When I come home from work I can tell that it has cleaned because there are lines in the carpet. Works around areas so it doesn’t get stuck in the same places. This works much better than the m80 pro I had. It links to the app much better also.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have owned a Deebot 930 for a fee months now. We like it so much, when it came time for a downstairs vac, the 901 was the obvious choice. The 901 seems to work even faster than the 930. I'm pleased with it's performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. I use the ECOVACS to keep the front 4 room of my house clean. Once it mapped my house it can get the job done on 1 charge. I do not have a pet so I also do not need to empty the dust chamber. Very happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product about a month and a half ago. For the most part, this is a very good product. It follows where it has already been in the house and keeps track of points that it may have missed, so every inch of the reachable house gets vacuumed every day.
It inconsistently has trouble getting over one of our floor lips, from the hallway (hardwood floor) to the kitchen (tile floor). Some days it hops over it just fine, other days it gets stuck, attempts to get out, and the pauses and asks for someones help getting out of the stuck situation. I'm not sure why this only happens on certain days.
It seems to randomly lose my map, which I have yet to figure out the reason for. So it has remapped our house various times. It also seems to lose map records if you turn it off and back on. I would expect it to keep my map even if the device is turned off for a few hours.
It also seems to rarely display as "online" in the app. I have to click multiple times and then it seems to wake up and show as online. It's not very consistent with what brings it online though. Sometimes I click once, it comes online and I can access it from my app. Othertimes, I can click ten times, restart the app, click ten more times, and it still does not come online.
The basics of what it is supposed to do are great, but there are small parts of the product that could be improved upon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Broke and had to have replaced after 3 months. One big wheels that used to move forward and back on the side stopped rotating so just went in circles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Deebot 901 to save myself time in the evenings and still keep my floors cleaner during the week. Such a good buy. I like walking around barefoot, but don't often take the time to sweep every evening to keep the crud off my feet. With this little dude scheduled to run while I'm away at work, my floors are always super clean and so are my feet.
Also, the mapping and virtual borders features are amazing. It's so easy to keep this little guy from getting into places he shouldn't, and it's a snap to designate a small area to clean if I make a mess. It's also just really neat to see my apartment mapped out.
The mobile application is nifty, too. You can control everything about your Deebot through it: start cleaning, send the robot home, manage schedules, set a do not disturb time, view and manage the map and more.
I'd say there are only few minor downsides.
1. Although I have mostly hardwood floors, which this robot traverses no problem, I do have a single oriental rug with tassels. Depending on the direction the robot is traveling, it might get tangled with the tassels. I flip the tassels under the rug when the robot runs, no problem! It navigates the rug fine otherwise
2. The robot is a bit noisy when rolling across the floor. It makes a bit of a rumbling sound. This doesn't bother me so much, especially because I mostly have it running when I'm not home.
3. The mobile application is a bit slow. Each action you perform in the app takes time to load. Sort of annoying, but it's otherwise quite functional.
All in all, it's a great product and an especially awesome value for the price. You'll be hard pressed to find a laser-mapping robot for the same price.
