[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After figuring out router connection issues, this vaccum is amazing. Watched it map the house and set up the daily cleaning schedule. Takes care of all that daily dog hair that piles up. Love it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this vacuum for about a month now and it does an excellent job. The mapping of the floor plan of the house is amazing. I can setup a virtual fence to keep in from going in areas such as my daughters room. I can also use the app to send it to clear a specific area. Plus it gives me updates on the cleaning status of scheduled runs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought over a month ago and use it everyday. I haven't pulled out my vaccum since! Only reason I give it a 4 is I have to clean off the brushes pretty often because my hair gets twisted up and cloggs the brush.
I had purchased two of these. Returned both for the same following reason.
When the vacuum gets “stuck” for whatever reason, the battery will eventually become fully discharged. The vacuum will not have enough power to even get itself back to the charging dock.
After reading the instructions and talking with customer support on how to get the vacuum charged again, all attempts failed. Putting the vacuum on and off the charger three time themes on the fourth time let charge never worked for me. These are expensive vacuums that should have a much better solution.
I spent a little more money on a roborock vacuum. Works much better. When the vacuum get stuck or blocked behind a door the vacuum goes to sleep and will resume when the issue is corrected. And if I put it on the charger on my own, it charges without a hickup.
To make Deebot better. Fix the charging issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear your experience with the DEEBOT was less than perfect. Should you decide to try our brand again in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at customerservice@ecovacs.com with any questions you may have. We'll always be happy to help out.
The vacuum on the 900 is great. I always wonder where the dirt is coming from that I find in the dust compartment. As with the other Ecovac devices I’ve owned, I’m confused at the algorithm it uses when it comes across certain scenarios. I wish I could be a consultant for their engineering department and help them learn what really happens that I truly believe could be solved. Anyway, the BEST feature that has helped me with its few downfalls is the barrier feature that can be done while it’s in a current cleaning cycle. Previous machines made you wait until after the current cycle was completed. This is by far Ecovacs best unit yet and I’m glad they worked with me until the machine that fit my needs was made available.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I originally had a Roomba. Long story short, it got ruined from and stop working. We decided to upgrade to the Deebot 900 and we absolutely love it. The Deebot 900 is much more quiet than our previous roomba and it cleans better. I added a picture to show how much dog hair it picks up in just an hour of cleaning. It's also low enough that it fits under our coffee and side tables. I highly recommend purchasing the Deebot 900. App is user friendly too :)
I have tried to make this thing work for us for a month or two and I am so frustrated with it. It will not clean more than the room closest to the charger if the map doesn't work, that's where the problem occurs. The map looks fine after the first time you reset the map, then it will shift a little bit every time after that, so it keeps trying to push through furniture or stops short of other obstacles, pretty much have to sit and babysit the thing every time. I didn't get this thing for entertainment purposes. I had an N79s that just randomly went around and would prefer that because at least it would go till the battery was out then park itself.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear the DEEBOT has been acting up. Please reach out to us at customerservice@ecovacs.com attention Steve and we'll help get the robot running correctly with our app.
I found it is hard to get it back to charging dock unless I use the App, otherwise, clicking the button would just make it pause. Also it is hard to adjust the route as it is very "determined" if it wants to go or not. The route is also not optimized for long but narrow area, when the robot is scheduled to make a lot of U-turns along the short edge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
