Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T5 2in1 Robot Vacuum and Mop Review

The Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T5 is one of the more advanced robots available. It’s a fully customizable hybrid robot with innovative navigation software and tremendous battery life. But is it worth the investment? Read our review down below to see whether the OZMO T5 is the right hybrid for your floors.

3 Suction Levels with Floating Brush 2.0

The T5 comes with a new and improved floating brush with an enhanced suspension system to ensure continuous contact on floors, regardless of the surface type.

When transitioning from carpets to bare floors and back, the T5’s floating brush provides the deepest clean possible, even reaching as far as 4 mm in between tiles and floorboards. When running MAX Mode, there’s hardly anything that can escape the T5’s powerful suction and deep-digging bristles.

OZMO Mopping Tech

As you can tell from the robot’s series name, the T5 is a hybrid vacuum and mop bot. It comes with a 240-mL water reservoir and water saturation control, so it can clean entire floors an entire floor on as little as a single tank.

What’s more, the T5 has the ability to vacuum and mop simultaneously, so it uses less battery power to thoroughly clean your bare floors. With Carpet Detection Technology, you don’t need to worry about the robot getting your carpets wet. As soon as it steps “foot” on carpeting, it’ll automatically close the water valve.

3-Hour Runtime

The 5200-mAh rechargeable battery is one of the largest and most efficient out there. The T5 has a maximum runtime of 3 hours—several hours more than its leading competitor.

The Continuous Cleaning Mode keeps the robot running at all hours of the day, except when the battery is low on juice. After recharging, it’ll continue its vacuuming and mopping cycle precisely where it left off.

Smart Navi 3.0

Here’s where things get a lot more interesting. The T5 is equipped with the latest intelligent navigation software. Smart Navi 3.0 uses an array of lasers that accurately and systematically creates a digital blueprint of your home, which it then accesses to preprogram the most efficient cleaning route.

Multi-Floor Mapping

With Smart Navi 3.0, the T5 is capable of creating and storing multiple blueprints. The hybrid bot doesn’t have to go back and repeat the scanning process every time you start it up. When you place it gently on the floor, it’ll check its surroundings and pull out the most appropriate map, thereby saving battery life and ensuring maximum cleaning efficiency every time.
