Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI

Using a grid pattern, the Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI picked up debris slowly and methodically. The side brushes are not that strong and its round shape is a disadvantage for edges and corners. Testers found it difficult to clean out the dirt bin. This model is similar to the OZMO T8 but includes a camera that allows the user to see what the vacuum sees. The vac's strong suction and dual side brushes helped to clean sand from bare floors quickly. Some debris fell out of the robot when it was picked up. The vac easily went over electrical cords. It almost got stuck when approaching a fringed carpet, but eventually freed itself. It easily climbed over a .5 inch threshold and eventually made it over a .75 inch threshold after re-angling and making a few attempts. The Ease of Use score took a hit because testers didn't think cleaning the dirt bin was easy. It traveled over a square of matte black carpet in the lab. The mopping feature was not tested.

The Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI is part of the Vacuum Cleaners test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Robotic Vacuums models like the Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Carpet: A high score means the vacuum effectively removes surface debris and embedded dust from medium-pile carpet. A top-scoring model picks up more debris from carpet per run.

Bare floors: A high score means the vacuum effectively removes surface debris like sand from smooth hard floors. A top-scoring model picks up more debris from non-carpeted flooring per run.

Navigation: A composite score that includes combined coverage over multiple runs, clearance under furniture and obstacle and entrapment avoidance.
