The media could not be loaded. Buckle up, this is a long and detailed review. (If you want the summary, here it is: go buy this vacuum now. I had a Roborock S7 which works really well but I moved the S7 upstairs and needed another robot that vacuums and mops since I have carpet rugs, hardwood, and tile. I upgraded and bought the Deebot T30S. I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and it has been an absolute game changer! I have 3 dogs so I always joke that I am his pit crew - filling the water tank, emptying the dust bin, and swapping the mop pad 1-2x a day depending on how much my dogs are shedding. I absolutely recommend it if it’s in your budget.The automatic pit crew station (automatically empties the dust bin, empties the dirty water, refills with clean water, washes AND dries the mop pads) is a an absolutely amazing upgrade that works so well.QUICK SUMMARYPROS:* Quiet even on boost suction* Extremely high suction* Large water tank for mopping* Auto emptying works extremely well* Picks up pet hair without brush tangling* Mapping works extremely well* Able to mark no-mop areas like rugs* Able to go weeks without having to refill the water or change the vacuum bag* Extra mop pads in the boxCONS:* Auto emptying and refill can be annoying, (although not very loud compared to previous models)* Must buy replacement dust bags* Mop pads sometimes get stuck on rugs and detachDETAILED REVIEWI have three dogs now dogs ( Siberian husky and a Heeler) two of which shed a ton of dog hair. I also have a doggy door which means mud gets tracked in occasionally depending on weather. Vacuuming and/or mopping everyday is required but not an option for me time-wise. Between that and normal dirt I have Deebot (who I have affectionately named “Clean Elizabeth II” who replaced her successor “Clean Elizabeth I”) vacuum scheduled to run twice a day. This robot vacuum does a great job in every important aspect, from the obvious vacuuming and mopping to ease of setup and a user friendly app.SETUPIt was incredibly easy. Out of the box the only thing I had to do (besides remove the plastic) was put on the side brush and mops, and attach the vacuum bag. (The cord and everything else was already out together.)The docking station already had a dirt bag installed so I just had to fill up the clean water tank.I already had the app installed so I quickly added the new vacuum and followed instructions to finish setting up.APPThe app is not only easy to use, it has some really neat features that set it a tier above other robot vacuum apps. The vacuum runs an initial mapping run, then actually identified separate rooms automatically (on roborock/roomba you have to manually split rooms by drawing) and allows you to easily name, merge, or split them. Scheduling allows you to set “do not disturb” time to avoid running late at night, the order the rooms are cleaned in, continue cleaning after recharging if the battery is low, and even set the suction level and mopping level room by room. It has options for no-go zones, no-mop zones, etc. There’s are automatic reminders (based on runtime) to fill/empty the water tanks, clean the sensors empty the bin, and replace filters, etc.One new feature I haven’t used much but am testing out is the AI cleaning feature. It intelligently changes cleaning patterns based on things like how much dirt is cleaned up in a room, the type of room/floor (e.g. mops the kitchen floor twice vs 1x in a bedroom).Vacuum / MopThe vacuuming is absolutely perfect. I’m not sure what else to say. It’s about 2x quieter than my Roborock S5, never misses a spot, and cleans my entire house on one charge. I noticed a few rugs it got stuck on due to strong suction and simply set up a marker to avoid that area.The mopping is really good - significantly better than my roborock for two reasons:1. Duel spinning mop pads do a much better job of cleaning dirt off of tile than a simple mop pad that drags across the floor.2. There is a setting to heat up the water so it uses hot water to do a better job of cleaning the floor.It detects when the mop is attached and adjust the cleaning accordingly (avoiding no mop zones.). I’ve found it’s especially great for rainy days when my pups track in water or dirt through the doggy door.Docking Station (AKA the Pit Crew)There are so many things I love about this vacuum. The docking station is a one stop shop for everything. It empties dirty water, refills clean water, empties the dust bin, washes the mop pads, dries the mop pads, and can even self clean the docking station!Voice AssistantI haven’t used the voice assistant much, but no doubt I’ll be yelling for “Yiko” to clean up a mess in no time just like I yell for Alexa to turn off the lights. You can tell it specific commands like a certain area to clean (e.g. under the bed, between the sofa and table, clean around the dog bowls, etc.) you can even tell her to clean in “housekeeping mode” which is basically telling the AI to figure out what’s dirty and clean it if you’re too lazy to learn other commands.I keep discovering new little settings and features that add to how much I like this vacuum. I’m more impressed with it the more I use it. I love not having to constantly grab the vacuum and empty the dust bin or fill the water.Go buy this vacuum and I promise it will be the best purchase you make this year.

This window robot is great! It is small, so it’s footprint allows it to be used on normal windows that have a small area, or side- light windows, or even grided windows. It works very well, easy to use, and is amazing at leaving windows streak free. I’m not sure how well it works if one uses some substitute window solution other than what is made by this company. It would be great if one could detach the safety cord as it is somewhat useless for ground level windows and gets in the way. It would also be nice if the power cord was longer or there was an adapter to make the cord longer. I was very pleasantly surprised by its performance, but you really have to stay there while it’s cleaning the window unless you have very large windows because it gets done so fast.I was hoping it would work to clean the sunroof on my Tesla or the windows on my car, unfortunately it keeps saying it’s at the edge of a window even when it’s in the middle. Not sure how this is determined, but it could be the curvature of the glass because I noticed when I put it on the roof of the Tesla it does not lay flat against the glass and you get a low suction alarm. It might be possible to put a spacer pad in such that you can see a larger area, but this has to be confirmed from the manufacturer.. I have not used it on any heavy duty mode other than but the default mode works just fine. I have very dirty windows all the time on the west side of my house from the well water from my sprinkler and it cleans crystal clear.Cleaning fluid us expensive but there is enough supplied for two times on a 1800 sqft house. The refill should last well over a year and is cheapest ordered direct.

There’s some pros and cons- one of the cons is that it won’t run over the rugs, even if it’s the thinnest rug, so it will not vacuum the rug. You have to pick the rugs up every time. But why vacuum when you can vacuum and mop at the same time. Love that! When you map out the floors, it will map out up to three floors. unfortunately it does forget the mapping pattern and you have to redo it. So far I’ve done it three times. I’m hoping this is the last time but I got a feeling I’ll be doing it again. Seems to clean very well. Sometimes it does forget where it’s charging station is and it’ll just go around and around in circles. so I think that has something to do with the mapping, but I have to return it to the base and make it map of the floor over again. This only happens when I put it on the different floors, but like I said it does up to three floors. Up to three separate maps. It will forget them occasionally, butother than that it’s a pretty good little machine. It does pick up all the dirt and mopped the floor pretty nice. It saves me a lot of energy so I love it.
