ECOVACS Robotics - DEEBOT N79SE Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum - Espresso

This is a great entry to mid level robovac. I mainly used this on the hardwood floor since I'm to tired to Swiffer the floor everyday. I have to Beagles mix that sheds like crazy and keeping up is hard. Setup is a breeze. Connect the two spinning brush heads, flip the switch on, press AUTO on the robovac, connect the docking station, put batteries in the remote and press the home button on the remote so the robovac can take it's beauty sleep. Let it sleep for 4 hrs before use. In my initial test, I did Swiffer the floor first and set the schedule to run at 4 am. I woke up the next morning to a very clean floor. I didn't see a lot of dog fur on the floor. The places I did see, were places it couldn't reach, like the multiple legs of an IKEA sleeper sofa. It was very quiet. It didn't wake me or my two dogs up. I took the dustpan out and was surprised that it picked up more dog fur than sweeping. I was amazed. I did try it on carpet. It's ok. It's not meant to deep clean a low-medium pile carpet. You still need to whip out the vacuum but it's perfect for the in-between maintenance. It did pick up a lot though. I'll attach some pics. Pairing to the phone is a little tough. Even if you connected to the 2.4GHz band, the phone had a hard time finding the robovac. I figure I let it charge for 4 hrs and try again. It paired after the 4 hrs. The phone app is very basic. It's almost like the remote, well it's a digital version of the remote but this is where you can see battery status, health of the brushes and filter, set schedules and the only place where you can adjust the suction power. I didn't see that on the physical remote. Two modes, Standard and Max. If you have MAX set and a schedules to run while you're sleep, then you are in for a rude awaking. It's loud and it seems like it runs into objects a lot harder. I'm on the 4th floor in my complex and I'm pretty sure the person below me can hear this thing running around my living room. It's fine in standard mode. The tracks is another thing. It squeaks when it turns in MAX. In standard mode its quiet. Keep this in mind if you have it running while you're sleeping. On standard mode, it's not loud at all. You can watch TV and have a conversation will this is running. Max is slightly louder but you can still watch TV and have a conversation. Anyways, it definitely a good robovac on hard surface. I'll post pictures up.

This is the first robot vacuum I've used and chose it because it had good reviews and a great price. It has worked well on hard floors and carpet in my home. We have a dog so its great for daily vacuuming. After the first time or two using it I made sure to block off any areas I didn't want it to go in or get stuck in. It got stuck between the wheels of an office chair and under another chair at the counter. It could fit between the legs but kept missing the small window to get back out when it spun around. I found it best to run the vacuum when nobody is moving in its way, it doesn't seem to cover all areas then. When its able to run without interruptions it seems to cover 95% of the floor even though it moves randomly. Overall its a good entry level vacuum, which is what I was looking for.

Seriously doubted myself when buying this and not a roomba, but WOW! The suction is amazing. It cleans everywhere you want it to. It has gotten into spaces I didnt think it could get out of and gotten out. It has only been stuck once and that was our fault. It cleans the rugs better than our regular vacuum! Super buy for us. The stuck in pet hair is out! Which the reg vac could not do. Plus it's super quiet compared to the roomba! We can watch TV with it running. Very pleased with this!

This being my first robot maid, I am pretty impressed. U absolutely can't beat the hourly rate it charges! Healthcare? It never gets sick so it doesn't even need it! Its Pretty good at getting itself out of tricky areas. Also I was pretty impressed how even going along at full speed, it doesn't go "over the ledge" step down to other room. Slams on brakes and backs up. Every time. (see pictures) Also for the GENIUSES that give it bad marks cuz it got stuck under a couch and made a mark cuz wheels kept spinning, THEY CANT MAKE THINGS IDIOT PROOF. WATCH IT the first cpl times to See How It Handles every room it can get to!! And block things Common Sense would say to fix (like cords,papers ect.).

I bought it a week ago. Easy instructions..great addition to include the remote control. Easy programming steps. When a returned from work, the apartment is clean thanks to my new friend Debbot.

I’ll be honest this was a very random impulse buy. Years back I had a Rumba vac and it did it’s job, that is until my youngest child decided to ride it around the house. Needless to say.. that was the end of that. So now that I can Confidently own a new one we went with it. With that said, this is great for daily up keep. It is no replacement for all your vacuum cleaning needs. However it dose truly suck everything it comes in contact with. I live on the ocean shore where beach sand constantly finds its way in my home. So this has been a lifesaver for keeping sand where it belongs. Off my floors.

My downstairs is hardwood and tile, with a 2 throw rugs (living/dining room) and 2 mats (kitchen). I really wanted a robot vaccum but wasn't willing to spend upwards of $300 for being lazy...(Especially since I can grab a broom and sweep myself.) But this one went on sale and I figured "how bad could it be?" I removed the rugs and let it go. I was VERY VERY VERY IMPRESSED with the job it did. I didn't realize how much DUST was on my floor. Crumbs, yes; but dust?? Wow! If you are looking for a starter robot vaccum, with minimal bells and whistles (it has an App and works with Alexa!!!), then I highly recommend this one. However, one con so far: It has started by itself at midnight each night. I have contacted Ecovacs and they sent me instructions to reset it. This isn't necessarily a "bad" thing, but it wakes me up. I am willing to live with it, if the resetting doesn't work though because of the great job it does.

Great little robot vac. Gets itself out of areas I don’t think it will and when it runs over cords it tries to move away. I’ve only had to rescue it once in the first couple weeks we have had it. (My fault, it ate a pair of headphones left on the floor) It picks up a LOT of things. We have it running nightly, and are very happy with the quality so far!
