My fast and first impressions of the Neato D10. The robot is now a part of the flat. Was it a reluctant choice? No.
The self learning vacuum cleans the floor in 39 minutes. After a few tries the N10 navigates the floor with no problem. “It’s very efficient.” Although, the map drawing part of the robot is a bit scary.
The Neato app is a bit clumsy to use. Not as intuitive as I would like.
I am searching for a new Robot Vacuum, a gadget to help me with the housework. The one I have is reliable but becoming a bit slow. As a person on the go, a device that can perform housework is a convenient time saver. During IFA 2017 I checked out the brands offering new robot vacs from the least complicated to the pricier models with accessories.
The unboxing
The sleek Ecovacs Deebot M88 looked interesting so I decided to give it a test, the verdict? This is a robot vacuum worth its $350 price.
With a stylish circular design, the Deebot is equipped with frontal side sweeping brushes and cloths for dry and wet cleaning.
The remote control is handy. While I was working on the PC I used the remote to go over a particular spot two times. My open studio apartment was not a particular challenge for the device in regards to navigation because all is one level with the wall to wall wooden surface with a few corners. The reason I like a vacuum robot is because while I am out of the flat I let it run.
The Ecovacs App is easy to use for controlling the vacuum from your smartphone, available for downloading on Google Play and iTune Store. I used the Android App, simple to use, with no fuss.
The charging dock is small, able to fit in a small corner in any room. I cannot comment on the battery life because it cleaned the flat only charging twice.
There are other robot vacuums in the higher end and lower end of the market but I liked the Ecovacs Deebot M88. It moved quietly and quickly around the floor, and low maintenance. When it comes to doing one less household chore, it is the perfect fit!
