The price of perfection.
When I first laid eyes on the compact beauty my eyes were constantly looking across to the price tag. Once all features were revealed. Price was slowly made understandable. Amazing results and features to match. Able to map out your home with latest tec and superior voice interaction software is a experience to see in action. The self cleaning function is also a treat and the devices docking and cleaning station can easily become a functional part of your home decor with is smart, modern and sleek look. If quality and reliability is what your after than this super powerful and smart multi purpose vacuum unit is what you need in you home. I love it I'm sure you will too. You have to see to believe it.

Getting 'someone else' to do your dirty work is a dream we all share, so it’s not surprising that Robotic Cleaner such as the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Turbo is all the rage. Obviously, the main benefits of a robotic cleaner is that it will clean your floor for you, so your don't really have to*. Programmed via the accompanying smart phone app, a cleaning schedule can be set so that the Deebot will take care of the cleaning autonomously. Autonomous cleaning is perhaps Deebot X1T's greatest selling feature.
There are however many limitations with robot...
Read moreic cleaners. Firstly, it is not really that great or efficient at cleaning compared with the human doing the vacuuming and/or mopping, plus it takes so LONG to clean an area compared with a human with a stick cleaner. It can also be noisy, and because it take much longer to do the same job, the noise stays around for much longer. Because robotic cleaners are limited in the suction it can generate, carpet vacuuming will never be a Deebot X1T's forte. In fact, I reckon you will likely be disappointed with the result considering the price, if this is your sole reason for purchasing the Deebot. Fortunately, we don't have carpet at home, and for vinyl plank flooring, Deebot excels! Ecovacs is a Chinese technology company best known for developing in-home robotic appliances. It was an OEM manufacturer for vacuum cleaner under the name TEK Electrical Company. The company was rebranded in 2006 as an independent manufacturer of Robotic Cleaner and it has since has footprint in the U.S., Europe and now Australia. Thus, the sophistication of the Deebot X1 is pretty obvious given the 20+ years the company has been making these appliances. The first thing you need to know is, Deebot X1T as packed, is gigantic, so you will need to ensure sufficient boot space to take your baby home. The Deebot X1 requires a little set up which is pretty straight forward. The instruction booklet is surprisingly sparse in contents but additional information can be found inside the smart phone app, EcovacsHome, which is a mandatory download if you want to fully utilise all its functions. However, there are three buttons on the charging station for the most commonly used tasks, ie, (1) starting and pausing a cleaning cycle, (2) returning Deebot to base station and (3) Manually initiating the mop cleaning. Additionally, Deebot will also respond to voice command, via 'Ok Yiko'. The EcovacsHome app is a comprehensive suite that allow the user to adjust various parameters and there are too many to list in this review. For me, a notable feature is the ability to manually select the 'Quiet' mode in the vacuum power setting (I have not the chance to evaluate the noise level for the 'Max+'). The layout of the app requires user to swipe up, down, left and right and I reckon a little simplification of the swiping will enhance user interface. For most part, it is a very polished experience but the occasional Chinese phrase with no English translation, or sheepish Chinglish did slip through. An example is this, which makes not sense to me: 'Good news for pet users: New furniture models of pet supplies in 3D map, you can try after adding them'.

From unboxing to end, cleaning result Ecovacs does not disappoint. With its stylish aesthetic appearance to its sublime cleaning performance, this cleaning robot is filled with so many functions, sweeping and mopping your floors will never be easier.
Deebot is voice activated and app activated, easy to use and cleaning is efficient and effortless.
This is the perfect new addition for someone who is time poor or just values more quality time do other activities than the cumbersome duties of sweeping and mopping your floors.

Read moreing, you can just set it up and go about your day, then come home to beautifully cleaned swept and mopped floor. As busy parents we just absolutely adore our Yiko, our floor have never been so clean and we have so much more time to spend doing the things we love. The only downside of Yiko is the sale price of the robot. It is unfortunately on the unaffordable side for alot families and is disappointing that more homes can not take advantage of the use of this amazing unit.

I love it and it does the job but there are a handful of drawbacks.
Hard floors with rugs
Does an excellent job of hard flooring and vacuuming. I love that it empties itself, maps the floor, cleans and dries its own mopping pads and cooks dinner- However, there are a handful of flaws.
1. the software that's used to run it is a bit glitchy. It sometimes loses or rotates the map and then goes off on its own tangent. I'm sure this will be fixed in future iterations of its firmware, but it's glitchy for now.
2. it doesn't quite make it to the edges of the room. I have two robovacs and the old Bissell is just ...

This is our first robovacuum, and it's proved to be a nifty device for busy families like ours. The pluses outweigh the minuses. Important to note that we've trialed this unit on carpet, tile and wood flooring.
See below attached pics and videos to see it in action. Attached is an image of the dust bin when full/overflowing. The vacuum will leave a dust trail if too full! Also attached is a picture of the Deebot charging at its base as well as videos of the cleaning in action on both carpets and then floors. We changed over our flooring from ...
Read morecarpets to wood floors shortly after getting this unit, so have shown both here Pluses: It's compact and stays in a little-used corner of the house and adds a bit of pizzazz to our home decor. Once it started cleaning, it mapped our house area adequately and has no problems maneuvering around bumps on floors. It cleans very well on all surfaces, saves us time and let's us carry on with other tasks, knowing our floors are being cleaned. It lets us know when it needs to return to "base" to recharge and the app is handy in informing us the battery life status / it's off the floor / hasn't got the bin in the unit etc. We love that we can clean the floors anytime and we can direct it to return to the base when we want it to, manually or via the app.

The Ecovacs X1 Turbo was very much a great surprise for us, and is a real game changer!
CONCLUSION:
The Ecovacs X1 Turbo was very much a great surprise for us, and is a real game changer!
Impressive right out of the box with a very aesthetically pleasing design to compliment any setting, we found the Deebot genuinely useful, and the performance far exceeded anything we expected from a robotic vacuum. It was surprisingly quiet in operation with automatically variable suction, and with the ability to discern carpeted rooms from smooth floors, so no wet carpets when mopping. One feature that was just amazing to us was the Deebot’s ...
Read moreability to go home and clean and dry its mops with no interaction, this is nothing short of sensational, and we suspect this feature alone would likely be the tipping point for many people sitting on the fence about getting a robotic vacuum. The supplied App to control it is full featured and intuitive in use, making control and scheduling a very simple task. Voice activation, while not particularly useful to us as we really liked using the App (but the kids loved it), is still a neat option to include for others who would undoubtedly find this a very useful feature. The collision avoidance and 3D mapping built in was astoundingly good, and if that’s not enough, it also has a “Security Patrol” mode with camera and 2 way audio to monitor your home and converse with occupants! If we had to adversely criticise any aspect at all of the Deebot, it would be the audio reproduction. To us it sounded less clear than we would have expected, while not a deal breaker and definitely a very minor point, I think it could definitely be improved upon. So in summary, yes the Ecovacs X1 Turbo is more expensive than some models on the market, but the design, integration, features, usability, and especially the performance, really set it apart from the many other less capable models around. I think anyone buying one of these, won't be disappointed at all by the design, or the end results, and will greatly enjoy utilising many of the well designed features. NOTE: I had originally given 5/5 for all the features as the Deebot pretty much exceeded all of our expectations, but I gave 4/5 for Value For Money simply because of the high cost. But the more I thought about it, and factored in the invaluable amount of time you get back by using the robotic vacuum, the cheaper it seemed, so yes it is a tad expensive initially, but the time you gain back really does make it a more than worthwhile purchase, so I believe it is definitely deserving of a 5/5 for value.Purchased in .
