The Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni offers you all of that, but without that high cost.
Strangely, neither model is currently listed on the US Ecovacs website.
It doesnt disappoint in its performance either.

Also aiding in making the user lazy is how well it washes its mop pads after each cleaning session.
I had no idea how much dust my hard floors could pick up!
Where theres scope for improvement is with the Ecovacs Home smartphone app, but only marginally.
The tray is also very easy to remove and clean out.
The robot itself isnt very different from the familiar round droid we see from most brands.
The top panel of the robot also simply lifts off to reveal the 300ml rectangular dust bin inside.
You wont, however, see the water reservoir, which is hidden under the opaque plastic.
I hands-down agree that its a novelty, but its the kind of fun feature I love.
Importantly for a robot vacuum, Ecovacs has upped the ante where suction is concerned.
Compared to theEcovacs Deebot T20 Omnis 6,000Pa suction power, the T30 Omni now boasts a much better 11,000Pa.
For its price point, this is a fantastic upgrade.
Its a handy feature to have for those quick spills that need immediate attention.

Its a lot cleaner and easier to use, although I still see scope for improvement.
In my case, I called the robot vacuum Dirt Vader.
you might choose the suction power and the water-flow rate.

you’re free to set up what Ecovacs calls Scenarios different cleaning runs to suit different needs.
The options are plenty, giving you a lot of control over your floor-cleaning routine.
Setting up schedules is also there.

I really do not like brown streaks on my light-grey tiles.
Its also not immediately clear that you just need to slide to view all the different Scenarios.
And thats again the case here.

It doesnt account for furniture, but you could see the vague shapes in the basic map.
Id have to use the Crevice Tool for that.
On hard floors, reducing the suction to Standard or Strong is more than enough for a good clean.
Mopping is where the T30 Omni shines.
When Ecovacs says edge mopping, its truly the case here.
However, a thick, dried-up blob of mayonnaise took a couple of goes before it was cleaned up.
The self-washing of the mop pads is also fantastic.
After nearly three months of using Dirt Vader, the mop pads didn’t look too worse for wear.
And my TV is in the bedroom where its cleaning only carpets, so the suction is always on.
Ecovacs says it hits a maximum sound level of 65dB, but thats only when its auto-emptying.
Thats still relatively quiet compared to other self-emptying models.
Still, its one of the quieter robot vacuums Ive tested.
That isnt bad at all.
Battery score: 5 / 5
Should I buy the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni?
And it’s very low maintenance too.

And the software running the T30 Omni knows when it needs to do a full 360o too.
Your cabinets, of course, shouldn’t be raised.
The app is intuitive, with good mapping and navigation too.

The L model is available in the US and the UK, but the X is available in Australia.
Practically every feature of the robot vacuum was tested for this review, including the foot-touch start/pause function.
