Feedback
What reviewers found
Three tests of this exact model: RTINGS in the lab, Vacuum Wars with its standard measurements, and How-To Geek in a home with several pets. All three rate the mopping highly. They split sharply on carpet: Vacuum Wars and How-To Geek found strong hair pickup, while RTINGS called it inadequate on carpet. Vacuum Wars and How-To Geek both had it freeze or wedge itself around tables and chairs, and RTINGS found it nudging light furniture about.
RTINGS, lab test, Jun 2026 · Vacuum Wars, lab test · How-To Geek, hands-on, May 2025
Hard floors
Mixed resultsHow-To Geek found it picked up everything in its path on hard floors. Vacuum Wars rated it highly overall but measured below-average pickup from crevices, and it has no extending side brush for corners.
Carpet and rugs
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars measured strong removal of sand buried in carpet, and How-To Geek found its carpets largely free of cat hair. RTINGS disagreed, finding debris left in carpet after every run, especially low pile.
Pet hair
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars found it lifted nearly all flattened pet hair with no tangling, and How-To Geek's carpets stayed clear of cat hair except along walls. RTINGS had hair wrapped round the brush after almost every session.
Mopping
Reviewers rate it highlyVacuum Wars rated its dried-stain removal well above average with little water left behind, and RTINGS found it excellent on stains, including pet marks. How-To Geek called the mopping first-rate.
Navigation and obstacles
Reviewers found problemsVacuum Wars had it freeze three times around tables, and How-To Geek kept freeing it from one chair, socks, sheets and floor mats. RTINGS saw it push light furniture around, snag on tasselled rugs and fail to reliably avoid pet waste.
Dock and upkeep
Mixed resultsRTINGS found the dock genuinely convenient. How-To Geek found it loud when refilling and during more than an hour of mop drying, and had to add floor cleaner by hand because there's no detergent dispenser.
App and software
Reviewers rate it highlyVacuum Wars found the app well equipped, with room splitting, no-mop zones, room-level schedules and live video. How-To Geek found setup and mapping easy, and made good use of routines and cleaning modes.
Noise
Mixed resultsRTINGS found the robot quiet enough not to startle nervous pets, but How-To Geek thought it louder than rivals, especially while the dock refills and dries the mop.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceNone of the reviews we use has run it long-term or judged ECOVACS's support. Vacuum Wars listed an occasional stuck bug among its drawbacks.
Value
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars thought it worth buying and ranked it among the year's best robots. How-To Geek said the cleaning justifies the price, but the daily tidying its obstacle handling demands is more than it expected at this money.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
The mopping is excellent
Vacuum Wars scored it well above average in its dried-stain test and measured very little water left behind. RTINGS found it does an excellent job on stains, including pet-related marks on hard floors. How-To Geek called the mopping first-rate and liked how the roller reaches out to skirting boards. If most of your floor is hard and sticky marks are the daily job, this is the reason to buy it.
Carpet results don't agree
Vacuum Wars measured 89% of embedded sand removed from carpet, 99% of flattened pet hair and no tangling. How-To Geek found its carpets as free of cat hair as they get, apart from where carpet meets the wall. RTINGS disagreed: it left debris in carpet after every run, especially low pile, and hair wrapped round the brush needed removing after almost every session. None of the reviews explains why, so keep your upright handy until you've seen it on your own carpet.
Freezes and wedges around furniture
Vacuum Wars had it freeze three times, once under a coffee table and twice against dining-table legs, for no reason it could find, and needed no-go zones to finish. How-To Geek's robot got stuck on the same kitchen chair so often it needed a no-go zone too, though the chair's legs were about the robot's width apart. There's no sign every unit does it. Watch the first few full runs around your dining table.
Fabric, mats and light objects
How-To Geek regularly had to free its wheels from overhanging sheets, clothes, socks and floor mats, and on carpet it did worse than on hard floors. RTINGS found it steered round furniture and pet bowls on hard floors but pushed lightweight items like floor lamps around, got stuck on tasselled rugs and didn't reliably avoid pet waste. Vacuum Wars saw it avoid 11 of 12 items in its standard test but only 7 in its harder course.
Helpful dock, noisier than rivals
RTINGS found the dock genuinely convenient and the robot quiet enough not to startle nervous pets. How-To Geek thought it louder than rivals, including when the dock refills the tank and during more than an hour of mop drying. There's no detergent dispenser, so How-To Geek had to add floor cleaner to the tank by hand. Vacuum Wars estimated about 1,200 sq ft per charge, more than the X9 Pro Omni.
This covers the T80 Omni only, not the T80S Omni or the T90 Pro Omni.
Our take
Should you buy the DEEBOT T80 OMNI?
Best for: Homes where washing hard floors is the main job. Skip it if: Your home has lots of small or crowded rooms.
buy it if you want roller mopping for hard floors without paying X-series money and there's space round your dining table. In a crowded room the X9 Pro Omni did better in Vacuum Wars' harder obstacle course.
The T80 Omni was the first mid-range ECOVACS to get the roller mop from the pricier X range. A wet roller is rinsed with clean water and scraped as it cleans, then washed in hot water and dried at the dock. The laser sits in the bumper, so it's 9.8cm tall. There is no detergent dispenser, so you add floor cleaner to the tank by hand.
All three testers rate the mopping highly. Vacuum Wars scored its dried-stain removal well above average, RTINGS found it excellent on stains including pet marks, and How-To Geek called it first-rate. Carpet is contested. Vacuum Wars measured strong removal of buried sand and nearly all flattened pet hair with no tangling, but RTINGS found debris left in carpet after every run and hair wrapped round the brush after almost every session. Vacuum Wars had it freeze three times around tables, and How-To Geek kept freeing it from one kitchen chair, socks, sheets and floor mats, so both needed no-go zones to finish. How-To Geek found it louder than rivals and said the daily tidying it needs is more than it expected at this money.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Will it avoid cables and pet mess?
Pet mess, no. RTINGS found it doesn't reliably avoid pet waste, and it got stuck on tasselled rugs. How-To Geek found fabric its weak spot, with socks and sheets tangling the wheels. Pick up textiles and don't run it unattended with an accident-prone pet.
Does it fit under low furniture?
It's 9.8cm tall with no turret, per the specifications, and RTINGS measured 10cm as the lowest gap it cleared. How-To Geek found two spots it couldn't reach that a slimmer Roborock could. Measure your sofa before buying.
Can it leave the mop behind for carpet?
No. The roller lifts 10mm on carpet, per the specifications, and there's a setting to vacuum carpet first before mopping. RTINGS still found carpet cleaning its weakest area, so mark thick rugs as vacuum-only and check the results.
How big is the dock, and is it loud?
The dock is 33.8cm wide, 45.9cm deep including its ramp and 50cm tall, per the specifications. Leave space above it to lift the tanks out. How-To Geek found refilling loud and the drying audible for over an hour. RTINGS described the robot itself as quiet, but that doesn't tell you how loud the dock gets.
Can it mop on its own, and does it add detergent?
How-To Geek couldn't find a mop-only setting, although the specifications lists one, so if you want it for that, check the current app for your country before buying. There's no detergent dispenser: add the solution by hand, at the dose in ECOVACS' instructions. How often you refill depends on use.
Alternatives
Other robot vacuums to compare.
DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI
Why consider it: It mops very well, and a 14-month owner account is encouraging.
The compromise: Vacuuming is mixed at carpet edges, and it can't be trusted around pet mess.
Flow
Why consider it: Its track-style mop impressed testers, and its hardware resists hair wrap.
The compromise: Vacuuming results conflict sharply, and routes and the app draw steady complaints.
Qrevo S5V
Why consider it: Testers agree it mops well, and the dock makes a convincing package.
The compromise: It misses small objects, and testers split on pet hair.

Head to head
ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI vs DEEBOT T80 OMNI
Our verdict: Vacuum Wars found similar cleaning from both, with more floor covered per charge from the T80. The X9 adds automatic detergent dosing and did better in the harder obstacle course. Weigh those differences against today's price gap, not the prices quoted when the review came out.
