Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews.

Ecovacs Deebot N20+ specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the store we read it from.
Ecovacs · on the market since June 2024
Consumables: no dust bags to buy, the station collects the dust in a bin.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 3.8 in of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 14 in wide and 17.8 in deep.
Suction and brushes 4 facts
- Suction power
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 8,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Carpet detection
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.
- detects carpet
- Suitable for pet hair
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
- yes
Mopping 4 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Mop lift on carpet
How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 0.4 in (10 mm) a medium pile stays dry.
- no
- Mop extends to the edges
The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well.
- no
- Water tank in the robot
How much clean water the robot carries. It sets how long it mops before a refill, which a dock does by itself.
- 220 ml
Dock 3 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- yes
- Dock size (w × d × h)
The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.
- 14 × 17.8 × 15 in (35.6 × 45.1 × 38 cm)
Navigation and obstacles 3 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognizes more.
- LiDAR turret
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 0.8 in (20 mm)
- Climbing system for high thresholds
An extending leg or wheel that carries the robot over a high threshold. Without one it usually stops at about 0.8 in (2 cm).
- no
Robot 3 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 3.8 in (9.6 cm)
- Robot diameter
How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.
- 13.9 in (35.3 cm)
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with a self-emptying dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 400 ml
Battery 2 facts
- Battery capacity
The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.
- 5,200 mAh
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 300 min
Smart features and warranty 3 facts
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa, Alice, Google Assistant
- Warranty
The warranty the maker gives in the United States.
- 1 year
- Home Assistant
Whether the robot works with Home Assistant, the home automation software you run yourself. Official means the integration comes with Home Assistant itself, community that volunteers maintain it.
- official integration
