If you’re not using this appliance, WYD?

A paid partnership with ECOVACS.

I’ll be honest, if Martha Stewart was to come to my house, she’d be less than impressed. I’m not tidy (piles of laundry are standard), but I am clean (you could lick my benchtops, if that wasn’t weird). My motto is done is better than perfect, and my other motto is, life is too short to have a perfect home.

I’ll take any shortcuts I can, so when ECOVACS asked me to test drive their new robot vacuum, I jumped at it. I mean, I don’t even have to be home when it’s doing its best work, which suits me just fine.

Shane loves gadgets and gizmos so he got busy setting it up, which took all of 4 minutes. He also downloaded the ECOVACS free App which means we can get the vacuum to get started when we’re not even home, or even when we’re not in the same country (way to freak out our housesitter, hey?)

We had a robot vacuum around a decade ago, and it was fine, but lived a short life, so I wasn’t sure what to expect with the ECOVACS Deebot N10 PLUS. It’s first trip around the house was a mapping adventure, it travels around mapping out the space so that it can efficiently clean for all future cleans.

Even on that first mapping adventure it cleaned as it mapped, and you can bet that I turned it over to see how well it sucked. And, well, it SUCKS.

I vacuumed our floors only a few days before, plus we have a weekly cleaner, so the floors weren’t grotesque, but it sucked things that we’d completely missed. We were impressed. 

It also has an auto empty station, so that we’re not having to constantly be emptying it, it can hold any debris for up to 60 days, meaning it’s probably (read: definitely) the most self-sufficient family member in our household.

Oh, and it can mop too. Of course. It is designed so that it does not over-wet your floors and the sensors on the DEEBOT also allow it to switch between vacuuming and mopping modes seamlessly. Is there anything it won’t do?
