Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni practice test: vacuum mopping robot with hip swing and hot water mop cleaning

The Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni is, strictly speaking, a mid-range model, as it belongs to the manufacturer’s T-series. It is thus among the top models Deebot X1 Omni (approx. 970 Euros/~$1060 at Amazon) and Deebot X1e Omni (approx. 970 Euros at Amazon). However, it is still priced around 1,000 Euros (~$1093), which is quite steep for the mentioned classification.

However, the vacuuming and wiping robot also offers a lot of features that are not or only rarely available in other mid-range models. First and foremost, there is the comprehensive cleaning station. In addition to extracting the dirt from the dust container in the robot into a 3-liter disposable dust bag in the station, it also takes care of moistening and cleaning the mop unit with its large fresh and dirty water tanks. In addition, the mops are dried afterwards with hot air. More details on this below.

TrueDetect 3D 3.0 and TrueMapping 2.0 are used for navigation and obstacle detection. A difference to the top models is noticeable here, since AIVI 3D with an RGB camera is not in the front. In return, the suction power of 6,000 Pa is even a bit higher. A rubber roller brush is also installed on the underside, which reduces hair tangles.

In addition, the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni offers many other features that are featured on the X1 models. These include the robot’s own voice assistant YIKO, which can be used to control the robot via a whole range of voice commands. Of course, the control via app is obligatory, which offers a number of settings in the usual manner (but not as many as in the X1 series).
