In recent years, in the robot vacuum cleaner market, "2in1" type models that can perform suction cleaning and water wiping at the same time are attracting attention. With Korona-ka, my family spends more time at home and is more concerned about the cleanliness of the house, so I can take care of the troublesome floor cleaning and "rags" (and two). Convenience (which can be cleaned all at once) is being favored.
Among such "2in1" types, the one with high evaluation as "high functionality and high cost performance" is DEEBOT N8 + (Amazon limited model) of Ecovacs, which has products in 52 countries and boasts the second largest share in the world of robot vacuum cleaners. )is. In addition to the above "suction + water wiping function", it has a function to automatically collect the dust collected in the dust box to the garbage collection stand that also serves as a charging stand, and the price is reasonable at 74,800 yen. In addition, there is some informative information about the product!
During the "Amazon Black Friday & Cyber Monday" period from 9:00 on November 26th (Friday) to 23:59 on December 2nd (Thursday), you can purchase it for 52,360 yen, which is 30% off!
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to verify the capabilities of DEEBOT N8 + again and confirm whether the evaluation of "high functionality and high cost performance" is true.

A robot vacuum cleaner that simultaneously performs powerful suction of 2300 Pa and wiping with a constant amount of water. With mapping technology that measures the position of walls and furniture based on the time it takes for the laser beam to reflect and return, the floor plan of the room can be grasped quickly and accurately, and efficient cleaning is performed. A stand that automatically collects dust in the main body dust box is included, so there is no need to dispose of dust after cleaning, and the stand can store up to 60 days (approximate) of dust.

DEEBOT N8 + is the most affordable high-end model of the company's robot vacuum cleaner that meets the conditions of "suction + wiping" and "with automatic dust collector". The operation is basically done with the smartphone app. You can also operate it by voice operation with a smart speaker using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
To use this unit, you first need to download the dedicated application and make various settings and pairing. All I had to do was follow the instructions on the app screen, and the work was very smooth.
What surprised me when I used this machine was the short cleaning time. When cleaning starts, the outside (wall side) of the room is first circled, and then the inside is regularly cleaned in a "U" shape. We will proceed with cleaning while grasping it accurately. Even when facing obstacles such as walls and table legs, you will not have to worry about it, and you can clean it with accurate movements. From the second cleaning when the map was completed, the movement became smoother, and for large rooms such as the living room, the room was divided into multiple blocks for cleaning by arranging tables and furniture.
Except for the corners of the room and places where the main body cannot enter by suction alone, dust is removed with almost no problem. The large cat litter scattered near the pet's toilet was also removed. Furthermore, the floor surface after suction + water wiping is smooth and comfortable to touch! Since the mop for wiping is attached to the rear quarter area of the main body, strictly speaking, the area around the legs of the table cannot be wiped clean. However, since the side brush is used to thoroughly scrape off dust and dirt, there is no “unfinished feeling” of cleaning.

After mapping, the running speed will slow down as you approach walls, furniture, table legs, etc. Since the side of the main body has a bumper structure, the impact at the time of contact is considerably small. Also, when cleaning the walls and the legs of furniture, the main body runs without touching obstacles. Even so, the side brushes were so long that the tips of the brushes could reach the walls and legs and remove dust.
By the way, I'm curious about how to clean the carpet. When this machine is cleaned in "mopping mode" (suction + wiping with water), it detects the carpet and avoids riding on it. On the other hand, in the "cleaning mode" (suction), the suction power is increased when the carpet is detected. "Moping mode" and "cleaning mode" are automatically switched by attaching and detaching the mop cleaning plate, so there is no mistake of inadvertently leaving the mop on during suction cleaning to wet the carpet.
In addition, the driving sound during cleaning is written as "63dBa" in the spec table, but the impression that it is quieter when I actually use it. I didn't feel so noisy when I watched TV while vacuuming.
On the other hand, there is no problem with the "water wiping" performance of the "mopping mode". The flooring after cleaning is smooth and refreshing, although it may be due to the fact that suction cleaning is performed at the same time. Especially in the summer when you spend most of your time barefoot, you should be able to feel the effectiveness and comfort of "cleaning with water". The amount of water for wiping can be adjusted in 4 steps. I was able to wipe it clean even in the mode with the least amount of water, but when cleaning a room with a lot of dirt, you can use the mode with a large amount of water.
Charging starts as soon as the main unit returns to the automatic garbage collection stand after cleaning. At the same time, the dust in the dust box of the main body is collected in the paper pack of the stand. The sound at this time is a little loud, so if you want to clean it at night, turn off the "automatic garbage collection function" in the app. By the way, when the N8 + main unit is waiting on the charging stand (automatic garbage collection stand), you can also perform only "garbage collection" by operating the app from outside.
The biggest merit of using N8 + was that I didn't have to dispose of it. You might think, "Since it does the cleaning automatically, it won't be as painful as dumping garbage." However, dumping garbage with a robot vacuum cleaner is surprisingly troublesome, and it's easy to forget it in the first place. Therefore, if you keep cleaning for many days, the dust box will become full and the suction power will drop, and if you try to throw away the trash in a hurry, it will be difficult to remove the trash stuck in the pan. It is also troublesome for dust to fly around the trash can when throwing it away.
In that respect, if this machine is equipped with an automatic garbage collection stand, you can dispose of garbage once every two months (as a guide only. The actual frequency of garbage disposal varies depending on the cleaning environment). Just discard the paper pack in the stand. There is no dust rising when dumping garbage. Since the dust box is emptied every time, suction cleaning can be done without reducing the suction power, and once you start using the "automatic garbage collection function", you will never be able to return to life without this function.

Another thing you shouldn't miss with the DEEBOT N8 + is the excellent mapping function and the variety of cleaning settings provided by the app.
When I mapped one floor in the first cleaning, for example, the boundary between the living / dining room and the corridor was automatically recognized, and when the map was created, each area could be color-coded. I was also surprised that the boundaries between the rooms were almost the same as they really were, and no manual corrections were needed.
By distinguishing and recognizing each room on the floor, it is possible to clean not only the entire floor but also only a specific room. Also, when cleaning multiple rooms, it is possible to specify the cleaning order and adjust the power of suction cleaning and the amount of water for wiping water for each room. In a dirty kitchen, you can easily specify that the amount of water to be wiped is large, or that the kitchen should be cleaned twice.
In addition, this machine is also equipped with a "custom cleaning mode" that allows you to specify and clean only a specific location on the floor. In addition, it is also possible to specify a virtual boundary line on the application to set an entry prohibited area, set a mop prohibited zone, a place to store pet food, a drinking fountain, and fragile items. In addition to preventing N8 + from entering the area where it is covered, you can manually set the entry prohibition even if the machine is difficult to recognize the carpet.
In addition, this unit can save up to two floor maps. If you live in a single-family home or a maisonette-type condominium, you can clean the two floors freely and efficiently.
I tried using DEEBOT N8 +, which can do suction and wiping with water at the same time and eliminate the trouble of throwing away garbage, and I was "satisfied" with its performance. It is vulnerable to stubborn sticking stains that are not compatible with the vibration mop installed in DEEBOT T9 + / T9 (can also be installed separately in the T8 series), but it is sufficient to maintain the cleanliness of normal flooring.
In terms of maintenance, it is really convenient to dispose of garbage almost once every two months and not to scatter dust when disposing of garbage. In addition to being able to continuously clean all rooms on the floor, you can specify the room to be cleaned, change the cleaning method (suction power, amount of water to be wiped, etc.) for each room, and easily select areas to be cleaned and areas where entry is prohibited on your smartphone. You can specify it and clean it as you wish.
It is advantageous that DEEBOT N8 + can be purchased for 52,360 yen during this "Amazon Black Friday & Cyber Monday" period (November 26, 9:00 to December 2, 23:59). Too many deals. The cost performance of this machine is overwhelming because it is less than half the price of T9 + (official store price of 109,800 yen) and more than 20,000 yen cheaper than N8 PRO + (official store price of 76,320 yen). In addition, we will issue a 1000 yen off coupon to the readers of this article, so you can purchase more profitably. At this price, not only those who are considering replacing the robot vacuum cleaner they are using now, but also those who are buying a robot vacuum cleaner for the first time should be able to reach it. The DEEBOT N8 +, which I experienced and felt "great satisfaction", is definitely the centerpiece of "Amazon Black Friday". Why don't you take this opportunity to upgrade your life at a super bargain?
