Released earlier this month, the ECOVACS DEEBOT T50 PRO OMNI is one of its latest models to hit the Australian market, with a slim design and powerful suction.
Priced at $1,499, it’s available in-store and online now. This is Ecovacs’ slimmest robot vacuum to date, measuring just 81mm in height. It also comes with hot water cleaning, an anti-tangle brush head, and AIVI 3D 3.0 object detection and obstacle avoidance.
The robot cleaner comes with everything you need for cleaning, including the OMNI Station for charging the robot cleaner, and the ability to automatically refill and drain clean and dirty water, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
I’ve been using the ECOVACS DEEBOT T50 PRO OMNI for two weeks now, and here’s how it fared.
In the box you’ll find pretty much everything you need, the Omni Station with clean water and dirty water tanks, as well as the T50 Pro itself, manual, and power cord.
The included brush clips on easily, then you just fill the clean water tank, plug the power cord (with a handy right-angle head) into the Omni Station and place the robot inside.
A dust bag is already installed inside the Omni Station, and you can easily remove it by removing the front panel.
The only thing not included is some cleaning fluid. While most companies would at least provide a starter, unfortunately ECOVACS does not provide one for the DEEBOT T50 PRO OMNI – we will get to consumables later.
You need to install the Ecovacs Home app, which is available for Android and iOS. Launch the app, use the camera to scan the QR code under the robot’s cover, and the setup process will guide you through connecting to your home Wifi, downloading any available firmware updates, and then naming the robot.
Mapping is a regular part of tidying up a room, in order to give the robot (which the boys named Francois) a better sense of direction. This includes picking up all the cables and so on. However, Francois proved to be a pretty good little cleaner and ignored a few cables that were accidentally left behind during the cleaning process.
I highly recommend closing all blinds so the robot can’t see outside. If you have mirrored closet doors, it can make for some interesting maps. After the initial map went wrong, I re-mapped it twice and everything worked fine.
Editing the map is easy, and you can name rooms, merge, delete, or divide areas, and define virtual boundaries and floor types.
Once you’ve mapped your house, you’re ready to go. You can start the robot manually through the app, use OK Yiko or Google Home/Alexa voice control, or press the power button on the top of the vacuum. You can also set a schedule for a single cleaning or a recurring cleaning every day.
The Deebot T50 will help you clean your house. The $1,499 price tag is a little high, but I believe it’s worth it.
Its advanced features include a low-profile design that can get into any place, and a multi-function mop and brush that can reach into corners, and it really can clean all the nooks and crannies you want.
The Omni Station keeps everything clean and dry with its new heated wash/scrub and air-dry mop pad features, and it’s very simple to maintain, with everything within easy reach.
The overall cleaning effect is very good, allowing you to clean confidently according to the schedule and forget it is there until you need it to clean an area for you.
If you are considering buying a robot vacuum cleaner, this product is well worth a look.
