Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni

What testers say about the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni

For anyone with beds and sofas that sit low to the floor, the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni keeps to 81 millimetres in height, 16 millimetres under most robots whose dock cleans the mop for them.

Two labs tried the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni and came away with opposite views of its mop. Vacuum Wars rated the mopping 3.55 of 5, close to a point over the 2.58 its middle robot earns, after dried-on stains came up far better than its average and little water stayed on the floor. Just A Dad Approved marked it 6 of 10, a point and a half short of what that tester usually hands out: the pads cleaned a muddy corner well, but they tilt forward and drag on thick carpet, where 9 millimetres of lift, 1.5 millimetres less than is usual, falls short.

The low build has a cost. The lidar is built into the body, with no turret on top, and Just A Dad Approved withdrew its approval after three weeks at home, where the robot kept catching on furniture legs until at least five areas were fenced off in the app. Vacuum Wars measured route efficiency only slightly above its average and points at the built-in lidar as well.

Corners are its strength. The side brush and one mop pad swing out towards the wall, which Just A Dad Approved rated the part Ecovacs got most right, and Vacuum Wars saw the brush reach into corners too.

Each point sums up, in our words, the review of the test it names, and its link leads to that review. We do not summarise RTINGS or Wirecutter: their lists are linked above.
