DEEBOT U2

I have owed this Ecovacs vacuum robot for a while now and I decided to write a review, as I never bothered to have something like this before, didn't trust it will help much and it might just waste of money, however, I have changed my point of view after I have been using it. I was very impressed when I saw this beautiful white vacuum robot, it looks very fashion and elegant. And it is not only sweep the floor, it comes with mop as well. I use it mainly for my living room,hall and kitchen where I have wooden floors, it can be controlled by Ecovacs Home APP,just simply scanning the QR code and follow the steps, it can schedule cleanings, start manual cleanings, set different cleaning modes, and more. I programed it to clean at 9pm every day when nobody is downstairs, so every morning I see the floor nice and clean. I have a little puppy and it never stopped chewing different things, so it always leaves bits and pieces of rubbish on the floor,now I can easily clean the floor with the vacuum robot anytime, and my puppy has short hair so I never had any tangle up problems with the robot. Cleaning the floor used to occupied too much of my time,but now the vacuum robot can help and leaves me peace of mind, I saved a lot of time to do other stuff, it is just much better than hovering the floor and mopping it by myself,and it is so easy for it to go under the TV cabinet and dining table. I also have noticed that it would lightly touch the wall or furnitures,but never slam into them.Overall, it does a great job cleaning my wooden floor with normal mode, it runs for a long time,nice and easy to use, nothing complicated, and it really saves me lot of time,good stuff, recommend it 100%.

Purchase on an Amazon daily deal as we wanted to give a robo-mop a go. Overall pretty good. It failed to setup the first time, which may have been down to an update issue, But once fully connected to our wifi it has been working fine since. We use it to mop a large tiled kitchen floor. The unit can vacs and mops at the same time, so it picks up any debris before the mop at the rear comes into play. There is a water tank and a smaller integrated box for the vac. If the mop attachment is installed then it will mop. There is no way to tell the app just just want to vac if the attachment is in place. It does a good job and expects the water tank to be refilled and the mop cloth to be changed in each clean cycle. But in reality this ensures you are using a clean cloth and have enough water in the tank. We use hot water and add a little detergent ( not recommended by manuf). The cloth use can rinse, wash, and put straight back on the attachment plate. The robo mop wanders around the kitchen following it’s designed method of covering the floor (up and down), and then works on the edges. It avoids larger obstacles and can weave around chairs /tables, but it’s not “smart”. Every times it starts it’s a brand new world for this robot mop. You have to pay another £200 plus for a model that will map and remember your rooms. It happily finds it to home-base after determining its finished it cleaning cycle. The base does need to be accessible and not hidden around a corner. Ours is under a cupboard, with a large area in front, so the Robo mop has a direct approach. The App will notify you if the Robo mop gets struck at all.

Life Changing Hoover. This review is specific to the Ecovacs DEEBOT U2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop. I will explain why. This hoover has a mopping option, very good. Also this one has a basic room mapping capability so it knows when it has hoovered the room. Basic mapping as it really works best used one room at a time. Better than some random hoovers out there, and much quicker because of the mapping function. If you want a clever mapping function that remembers the rooms it has mapped. You will need to pay quite a bit more. Had this hoover for a week. It has hoovered the whole house twice, and the house has never been so clean. Just used the mopping function, It is at least as good as the cleaner we used to have. All I have had to manually hoover are the stairs, and front porch. There are the odd corners (but not all) which require attention too. Setting up took 5 minutes, and it connected to our fancy Wi-Fi router instantly. It has done over 8 hours cleaning in less than a week. The Basic maintenance you need to follow is empty the waste container after each hoover otherwise it will stop when it is full. Roller brush and side brushes can collect hair and need cleaning once a week. On the cons this hoover doe snot sense the difference between a hard floor and carpet. You should not mop a carpet with it (rugs/carpet can catch the mopping plate). So it is best to just hoover, or just mop with it. If you cannot lift your rug for mopping there is magnetic tape you can get to let the hoover know not to mop the rug. For me this is not a problem, but there are higher spec models out there that can tell the difference. For a price. Overall very happy with the hoover, and need to spend less time watching it...!
