Ecovacs Deebot T80S Omni

What testers say about the Ecovacs Deebot T80S Omni

For anyone wanting strong suction, a real roller mop and a bagless station without flagship money, it is one of this year's best buys.

The Ecovacs Deebot T80S Omni is a mid-range robot with a roller mop that rinses itself while it works, an embedded lidar without a turret, obstacle recognition with a camera and structured light, and a bagless station that washes the roller in 167 °F water, dries it with air of over 140 °F and collects the dust in a removable bin. Vacuum Wars names it the best budget robot and ranks it 8th of 20, noting that it impressed in almost every test.

Bench suction was two and a half times the average and higher than the pricier T90 Pro Omni's; 91 percent of the embedded sand came out of the carpet, again more than the T90. Pressed-in pet hair was picked up completely and nothing was wrapped around the brush after the long-hair test. The roller scored high on dried stains and left little water behind, lifts 0.6 inches on carpet and extends along edges. It avoided 21 of 24 obstacles, and the battery was frugal.

The main weakness is navigation: the route was less efficient than average, so runs take longer and the estimated area per charge sits slightly below average, and users reported occasional map problems. The side brush does not extend, thresholds stop at about 1 inch and the station does not dose detergent.

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