" ... I have two dogs and a cat and I find this vacuum cleaner to be really good at picking up pet hair, also good for cleaning under beds. ... "
" ... I recently took on a Birman cat and the house was constantly ‘fluffed’ especially with dark carpets, got this in the hope it would help keep the house looking presentable between full vaca. ... "
" ... I bought it because I am rather old and find my current vacuum cleaner too heavy. ... I am on day 2 of having my floors cleaned which it seems to have done most efficiently. ... "
" ... Fantastic little vacuum cleaner, love the alexa control function and that it is self charging, not had one issue with it apart from initial setup had to be done via android not iOS, you can use the iOS app to control it but the setup only worked via the android app for some reason. ... "
" ... Equally, no issues with threshod bars, rugs or moving between carpet and hard surfaces. ... On emptying, i was amazed how much and the particle sizes that it picked up. ... "
" ... Just set up to go out at night and come down to a nice clean carpet. ... "
" ... It cleans so well, it’s unbelievable. ... "
" ... I have been absolutely blown away by this vacuum, I love it. ... "

" ... Love that it integrates with Alexa too. ... "
" ... Using the App on my phone I can see the batter life and could see if was getting low and was convinced it wouldn't manage to get back to the charging station. ... "
" ... Deebot was off with the easy to set up and use phone app. ... "
" ... The paired app that you can download allows you to remotely control the bot, set schedules and check the percentage of life remaining on each component. ... "
" ... Doesn’t link up with Alexa very well. ... "
" ... Had probs linking to Alexa at first but all working fine. ... "
" ... I had trouble setting it up to the app, but my children soon sorted, connecting to Alexa was easy enough after that. ... "
" ... It works with the App effortlessly and also works with our Google dot device (NOT just an Alexa)! ... The little remote it comes with is a nice thing but most smart phones that run the app won’t really need to see you using it! ... "

" ... I live in a single room and I use this product every day. ... It keeps the room immaculate and I am delighted with it. ... "
" ... It has settings to either spot check, do a single room or the whole house. ... "
" ... 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a combined kitchen living room and dining room all get a clean every day. ... The whole house is on one floor and wooden floors with rugs everywhere. ... "
" ... - I’ve now put the Deebot through a few trials in various rooms and I must say how delighted I am with it - it’s very quiet and does a good cleaning job - I’m amazed at how well it gets into the corners and in edge cleaning mode it’s a joy to watch as it follows the contours of the room at just the right space to allow the brushes to sweep right up to the skirting boards. ... "
" ... Might buy another for upstairs. ... "
" ... It makes a noise if it gets stuck but has been impressively sturdy and manages to negotiate low ‘obstacles’ like rugs, in our house. ... "
" ... Im sat in bed whilst my house is being hoovered . ... "
" ... Every day it goes round the house and fills its bin (we have two dogs) . ... "

" ... This vacuum not only met my expectations but vastly surpassed them too! ... There are a number of benefits to this vacuum cleaner including it's fantastic suction power, noise level (even on max suction) and it's ability to navigate back to the charging station. ... I never expected such a fantastic product for little more than you would pay for a conventional vacuum. ... "
" ... I have two dogs and a cat and I find this vacuum cleaner to be really good at picking up pet hair, also good for cleaning under beds. ... "
" ... The suction is second to none and my carpets have never been so clean. ... "
" ... The suction is good on our thick carpet & it wanders around the house for about 1 hour. ... "
" ... Early days with this so far, but I am very impressed with its suction power. ... "
" ... Has a reasonable suction power and definitely great help however, it keeps bumping into some furniture! ... but still happy with it as I absolutely hate vacuum cleaning! ... "
" ... Suffice it to say, I still wanted to get a robot vacuum cleaner and decided to try Ecovacs. ... "
" ... He had a decent amount of suction, not quite as powerful as his competitor, Eufy . ... "

" ... I like that it has an app that shows me everything I need to know about the robovac. ... "
" ... after contacting customers service about this (very prompt reply) i realised the actual app for this robot is not currently available on Android but works on iphones . ... "
" ... Controlled by the included remote with screen, Ecovacs app on your phone or tablet or by voice with Alexa and google ... "
" ... Is really good robot hoover but cant get the app to work on my phone is a down side of it. ... If the app work it will the best thing I brought ... "
" ... The scheduling function on the mobile app allows me to set the robot going whilst at work or away from home which is ideal if leading a busy lifestyle. ... "
" ... I like the Alexa app, this seems better than the Roomba I had. ... "
" ... Was at a great price when we bought it and also has a simple to use app ... "

" ... I schedule a clean every morning and when its finished or is running low on battery itll go back to the docking station to charge. ... "
" ... The instructions were simple enough and Deebot was on charge within 10 minutes and fully charged within 2.5 hours. ... "
" ... Around half the time, quite by chance, he’ll stumble across the base charger. ... Overall I’m very impressed with the cleaning power, but if you can’t bend down to pop it back on it’s charger when it inevitably forgets where it is, this isn’t for you. ... "
" ... We come home to a superbly lean floor and Deebot is back charging in its dock. ... "
" ... I haven't tried it with less space so I am sure it still works but may struggle to move around when charging and starting. ... "
" ... The auto charging is very cool, and you can still direct the vacuum when it's going to make sure it gets everywhere. ... "
" ... Tell the Deebot to return to the charging station at any time ... "
" ... Powerful machine with long time use battery and quick charging time. ... "

" ... I haven’t tried out the remote control or Alexa integration yet but I am happy to say that I have recommended this product to loads of people already - it is lovely, it seems to have a character of its own, I have perfect dust free floors and it’s so easy to empty (it runs for 2 hours then makes its way back to its charger, I empty it after a session). ...
