ECOVACS HOME 4+

Overall very few issues with the vacuum. I’ve even given it as a 🎁 to family. Now that it’s a few years old it does seem to be having some more issues and requires more correcting from me, to put it back on track. Still happy with it. Convinced the fiancé to give away his old useless ones.
One of the things I love most about this company & app is how “smart” and EFFICIENT it is. Relatively to every other vacuum I’ve seen. While a confused roaming roomba is cute, I’m getting this to actually vacuum & mop and that’s where this robot + app shine. ✨
That said there are some minor issues I wish would be fixed and some more features that would be nice. My biggest gripe would probably be the way it gets stuck in mopping mode sometimes. If I want to mop a particular area it will clearly try to map over a carpeted area and will take quite a bit of time to figure out how to move around the carpet to the area I indicated. (My app is out dated so if the new update addresses this I’ll update my review).
It tends to do well with getting back home but it still gets lost. This seems to be happening more now than it used to.
It’s annoying because it seems to like to get lost the first day I’m out of town so I come home to it lost and the house not vacuumed.
I know realistically there will be times it will need help and software will never be perfect so as long as it does it’s job well with few issues I’m happy. And I am happy! Overall great product ⭐️

Have been overall satisfied with the evac. Does the same job as competitive bots i have used but mop is very cool and convenient in one bot.
Sometimes a little finicky when moving the charger to another floor. Doesn’t seem to recognize the saved map, but not a big deal as it maps out new or adjusts when finally recognizing saved map. Small dust bin but hasn’t presented a problem, easy to clean. Smart design with cleaning tool storage on the bot. Wish the charger had a mount for the mopping plate when not in use.
I wet the mop pad as the water spray is light even on the highest setting which seems to help the mopping quality but it is still very streaky. More water spray is needed. Larger water cartridge would be ideal. I do wish it had a sensor to stop the vac and alert you to when the water is depleted so you can refill or choose to continue. Right now it keeps going so if you’re doing an entire floor you may not know where it ran out. Tracking that on the map would be cool.
App is good, room maps are great. Run the vac without mop for initial mapping run as rugs and carpets drag the mop plate. Ability to customize room features is key to avoid rugs and carpets when mopping plate is installed. We put chairs on top of counters so job is unobstructed but the vac does a good job of recognizing obstacles and avoiding, like my dog.
Would recommend the evovac and will most likely upgrade when new features improve the bot.

We have a complicated octagon shaped house. Previous robots we had struggled to find their way around and required a lot of prep like putting chairs on tables. We tried a robot mopper before and it just dragged a disposable pad around and barely accomplished anything. This one is fantastic. We have an old dog with bladder issues so we have to mop on almost a daily basis. All of our floors are hard surfaces. The mopper attachment it came with also just dragged around a pad, but we bought the “pro” attachment that runs the pad back and forth and it does a fairly good job. So we really only have to do a “real” mop to sanitize every couple of weeks. Truly a time saver pad back and forth and does a much better job. This is also an older model and was the least expensive (and best) robot we have ever bought, just for the vacuuming alone. Our floors get so dirty so fast that we need to replace the pads 2-3 times each mopping, so I honestly don’t see the point of having a “station” for it to clean its mops. Not worth the extra $600 in my view. Speaking of pads, the pro model says you should use the disposable pads, but as others have noted the regular pads work and are reusable—put them in the laundry. I have tried both and the disposable ones seem to hold less dirt. So I recommend buying a supply of regular pads to keep on hand.
