I have owned a few robot vacuums, most of them from Ecovacs and have been mostly happy with those purchases. Before this unit, my main floor Deebot was the 900, which has been retired to upstairs area. The main thing that drew me to the 900 was one of the first lidar based robots which did a pretty good job over the last few years avoiding obstacles, but it was never perfect even after years of updates. I was very reluctant to trust that the new models have come much further, but I can say I was happily wrong.
Initial unboxing and setup was straight forward, especially if you have ever used any robot vacuums. It was interesting to see the auto empty unit was already loaded with a vacuum bag, but others have noted the same thing. It is very possible they quality test the unit in the factory and load the first bag for this test. Not an issue. I placed the auto empty station next to the older 900 unit and its dock, and docked the N8 Pro+ robot after attaching the 2 side sweeping brushes and removing the protection sleeves with the pull tabs. Powered on the toggle switch and the unit indicated it was charging. I used the QR code found under the top cover to download the app (different from the old Ecovacs Deebot app, the Ecovacs Deebot 2017 app, and now called Ecovacs Home). The newer UI on the most recent app is more intuitive and better tools for map managing than the older 2 apps were. This was a welcome finding that they have updated this.
The app setup is a bit annoying it that it wants to map the house before any other options are available, so just note setting up no go "walls", rooms, new names, etc are not shown on the UI until the completion of the first cleaning run. Also to note, make sure you have the auto empty station dock flat against a wall that is somehow perpendicular to your house design. This was a major headache if you don't do this. What I mean is if your house is mostly a rectangle or square layout, make sure the wall you start with is 90 degrees to your home layout and not against a wall that is diagonal or circular to your house layout, otherwise, your home map will be weirdly placed on the map it generates forever and all time. You cannot (under the latest version as of 5-28-21) rotate the map once it is generated and the robot/app situates the map of the home based off the angles it detects on first undocking. So if the wall behind the dock isnt flat and perpendicular to the other walls, it may layout your map diagonally. This may not seem like any particular issue until you go to edit your map, generate zones, place no go walls, etc, because the map only uses rectangles to set zones and no mop areas and if you map is off on a diagonal direction, you will have no way to easily set these areas other than virtual no go "walls" which can be diagonal. This seems like a very big oversight and something that could easily be fixed, but there is no current provision for this and will force you to reset the entire map and start all over again. Not the end of the world, but quite an annoyance if you are not aware of what is going on. Hopefully this saves someone that pain.
Now for my first cleaning. That main reason I wanted to get this unit is the improved obstacle detection. I hate having to prepare the house for a run so that it doesnt get stuck anywhere only to come find it got stuck and a large reason my last vac didnt just run on a constant schedule. In a large home (4000 sqft) with 2 kids and a dog, it was really awful to assume it would run nonstop without issue. The old unit had horrible times with anything dangling from any possible reach. It was also bad about getting hung up on low pass areas under coffee tables, end tables, etc. This unit happily is not having those issues. The front sensors seem a lot more capable of sensing things it cant fit under perfectly and the map allowed to easily prevent any future (investigations) of those areas where it would only find it couldnt fit. Be very aware, it is known that the first mapping pass takes MUCH longer for the unit to finish and will almost always not happen in the first go and require a recharge and resume. This is as designed as the unit takes extra time to map the area more closely. Once a map exists, the unit will traverse a lot more efficiently and take less time to investigate areas.
I did notice this unit struggled slightly more than the 900 with tall rugs, at least at first, but then somehow it seemed to "learn" something and employ a turn around backup maneuver to get up on the rug in reverse since it has more clearance, turn around, and proceed to clean the rest of the rug (a tall pile rug on hard wood floor). I thought at first this would be a fluke, and it just happened to get up on the carpet this way, but multiple cleanings and it still does this to get over the lip of the tall pile rug. I really like the new mapping feature that detects carpet versus hardwood/tile and puts this on the map, even door mats that are carpet. This causes the vacuum to increase suction while over these areas which is a very welcomed feature. My family has already noted, this one if much quieter than the 900 and any other vacuum we have ever used while running. Slight increase over carpet, but being that it is now over carpet, not that audible since it is dampened by the carpet itself.
Battery life, many indicate how this has less battery capacity then the last unit, and this is true, but I feel this is a cost cutting measure and not something that is a real issue with the unit. In my opinion, this unit is used differently from before as you can let it run more constant scheduling since it is more capable and can auto empty. When you free your mind to this concept and use it that way, battery life is much less an issue. On the initial run, it needed another charge to finish the entire 1st floor, but subsequent runs can finish on 1 run as it takes 84 minutes to complete the whole floor with some room to spare. If you schedule rooms alternating, etc, you should never run into an issue. The do not disturb times allow you to set this and sort of forget it. Just check the vac bag in the unit from time to time for fullness.
One thing I want to mention from the old unit, the old unit was HORRIBLE at returning to the dock to charge, the N8 Pro+ is a lot better at finding the way back to the dock. The old unit would sometimes go in the opposite direction to get home first and sometimes run out of power while trying to find its way back. This unit generally drives right to it. Much better.

So many better options for the $$
***October 2021 update - Dropping to 1 star***So I tried a free replacement N8 Pro+ but this time in my mom's house, who has no pets and wow, the experience was abysmal. Embarrassing even! Every step is an absolute pain starting with connecting the bot to the app. 30 minutes of pressing buttons, entering wifi passwords, scanning QR codes, over and over and over, finally it took for no reason.Then the initial mapping... a complete nightmare. The bot keeps going over the same areas, again and again leaving other areas untouched. Black rugs or rugs with any black at all will cause the bot to think its drop sensors failed. If you move the bot too far after getting stuck it will lose tracking to base and guess what? That partial map you just spent hours building... GONE! Unbelievably bad and support is non existent. I reached out to the company and got zero response, nothing.Do you yourself a favor and RUN away from Ecovacs!***Original review***If you've done your homework, watched Vacuum Wars videos on YouTube and compared all available options right now, you may have landed on the N8 Pro+ and Roomba i7 as your top contenders. The Roomba S9 looks nice but it's way too expensive and the reviews just aren't good enough. Roborock looks promising but their top end model is relatively expensive and doesn't have an auto-empty bin as of the date of this review. There is no "perfect" robot in existence right now, in my view. I'm a 5 year owner of a Roomba 960 that had to be returned 3 times initially and repaired once out of warranty before it reached a stable state for me. I figured it was time for an upgrade. I was not optimistic about the i7 at all due to previous 960 issues and for that reason purchased the Deebot first as an extremely impressive option full of advanced tech. I'll give you my experience with both and why, much to my surprise, I landed on the i7 as the robot I will keep.First up, the N8 Pro+ which boasts variable suction levels that auto-switch depending on the floor type, low noise levels, laser 3D LiDAR tech for navigation, object avoidance camera, dual rotating brushes, built in mopping capability and a physically thinner footprint so it can get under my kitchen cabinets where my 960 gets stuck, daily. The functionality of the Ecovacs app is all there but my gripes are mainly around the layout, button naming and settings menus. I didn't find it very intuitive at all but all the key features are there: house mapping and virtual keep out zones being my top priorities. I did have some trouble with the initial configuration of the keep-out zones but got there eventually. The robot functions very well in general and is a very good vacuum, all told.The downsides that I experienced, however, were enough for me to return it. The key cons here are battery life, recharge time, the auto-empty base and getting stuck. Your first step with the N8 is the initial mapping of your floorplan which must be completed fully before you can do anything, I mean anything. It runs the vacuum during this mapping so battery consumption will be high. The i7 by comparison can do mapping runs with the vacuum turned off making it a much more streamlined process. I found the battery life to be much lower than the advertised 110 minutes netting a maximum of 75 minutes. The bigger problem is that it takes HOURS to recharge, so depending on when you start your cleaning run, this thing could quite literally run all day. For example in my situation, 635 square feet cleaned took 110 minutes of total run time with a required charge in the middle. This netted a total of nearly 6 hours to complete! Unacceptable. Also important to note is that the N8 will want to recharge at 15% battery, so the most you ever really get out of this thing is 85%.The next big problem for me was the design of the auto-empty base. They opted to use a dual port discharge method that sucks from 2 doors in the dust bin simultaneously. If you have pet hair to deal with, like I do, it was unable to suck out any of it, just leaving stranded clumps hanging from each port in the dust bin, see the attached photo.The final nail in the coffin was that despite all the advanced tech in the N8, cameras, lasers, etc, it STILL got stuck under the dining room table/ chairs just like my 960 does. Too many concessions so I sent it back and tried my luck with the i7+.N8 Pros:-Competitive price (usually on sale)-Premium look and feel-Advanced tech (cameras, lasers...)-Powerful variable suction-Systematic cleaning pattern-Free in-box extras (bags, mop pads)-Awesome low noise levels-Lower physical profile so glides under kitchen cabinetsN8 Cons:-Initial mapping will take a VERY long time and must be fully completed-Even with Lidar, mapping, sensing etc it still gets stuck-Battery life is terrible (more like 75 minutes at best) vs 110, charging time is worse (1 cleaning + charge cycle = 5 hours!)-85% max usable battery is abysmal, Roomba will drain itself to nothing-Dual port self-empty in the base creates problems, especially for pet hairWith the N8 returned I found the i7 on sale for the same price and pulled the trigger to give iRobot yet another chance. Much less advanced overall tech here, the same "crash into everything" sensor mode as the old Roomba models, no fancy lasers here but the camera does use iAdapt to map out objects. This camera needs light, mind you. Out of the box is a very simple setup just plug in the base, set the robot in it, add the robot to the app. I was prompted with a firmware update right away so let that run and waited until the next day to do the initial mapping run. Being able to just wander around without the vacuum running is such a simple but meaningful feature here. One battery charge and you should have a map of your floorplan, vs 2 runs + 1 charge on my N8. The completed map was excellent and they even attempt to add room dividers so you can partition areas of your house for more granularity. This is really cool and allows you to choose certain areas to clean on certain days or times if you want. No-go zones and room labels are also easily applied here. VERY intuitive app layout, button naming scheme, settings menus. You can tell iRobot put a lot of effort into this. So I did the mapping run then followed with a "vacuum everywhere" run, no virtual barriers yet. Not only was the robot able to navigate my entire floor cleaning everything, it didn't get stuck once, even under the kitchen cabinets or dining room chairs, truly impressive. It did need a charge in the middle but at an hour or so to top up, the cleaning process completes in a much more reasonable time period. The rubber brush rolls are great for hair of all kinds and manage to pass it to the dust bin without tangles. i7 triggers the auto-empty base which is LOUD like a jet taking off but wow is it effective, nothing left in the dust bin after, not a strand of long cat hair. iRobot used a single port suction method for the base which works much better than the dual port design the N8 uses, so no problem with stuck pet hair. For comparison, the i7 cleaned 658 sq ft in 133 mins of cleaning plus a 75 minute charge. Half the total time of the N8. Cool!As for the downsides, there are a few but minor considering the system actually works well. First is the bump sensor design. I know the i7 first came out 3 years ago and once the robot learns your house it should be more gentle, as they claim, but this just feels like ancient tech at this point. Not only that, the RCON sensor, which is the protruding eye in the middle above the bumper, takes plenty of direct hits as it activates the bumper it sits on. This is the part I needed repaired on my 960 as one day it actually broke off due to years of repeated impact. iRobot should do like the others in this space and move it somewhere else safer! The unit itself is thicker than the N8 so doesn't glide under my cabinets but so far has managed to avoid getting stuck. The single rotating brush isn't as effective as the dual brushes on the N8 and you would need to buy a separate mopping robot, if you care about that. The other thing to keep in mind is that the Roomba can't see well in the dark, it needs light to do its thing.Overall I'm very pleased with the i7 and intend to keep it. All the areas the N8 falls short work as intended or better on the i7, despite being lower tech. And this is after I was almost positive I wouldn't buy another Roomba!i7 Pros:-Competitive price-Premium look and feel-Systematic cleaning pattern-Free in-box extras (1 bag, filter, rotating brush)-Excellent battery and charging performance-Excellent auto-empty base-ZERO issue with long pet hair-Intuitive and granular control via the app (clean zones, no go zones, defined rooms that can be scheduled)-Smart Maps works really welli7 Cons:-Old school vSLAM bump sensor tech that will mar the more stuff it bumps into-RCON sensor sits in harms way atop the bumper-Single rotating brush could be improved-Room lighting is required, this thing doesn't do well in the dark

My 2 cents below:
Pros:
- It functions very well as a vacuum robot cleaner. Cleans both hard floor and carpet efficiently and seems to be sensing where the robot is running
- Suction pressure (up to 5,000PA) is very good and the app even gives you the option to select between multiple (4) levels
- Simultaneous mop with vacuum is definitely an added feature and the spinning scrubber does it very well
- It avoids mopping when on the carpet. Have not noticed wet carpets as of now
- It does well in recognizing the obstacles in my experience
- Inbuilt cameras let you monitor your home remotely. Can be used for 2-way talk as well
- This robot has never been stuck to date during my operation. It tends to plan the navigation accurately and find out the escape from congested areas
- Very easy to use and operate
- Great build quality and feels premium overall
- No-Go and No-mop zones can be set up easily through the app once the floor map is created. Multiple preferences option for the areas in the home map
- Battery life is great. After the single charge, it completes cleaning half of my home (around 2200 square feet) when I use the mop+vacuum setting at high suction. Supposed to give up to 260 minutes of backup when run on silent mode
- Decent capacity dirt box collector
- Side rotatory brushes are big-sized and take out dirt from corners efficiently
- The self-dispensing/cleaning station does everything for the vacuum & mopping needs. It cleans dirt bin, refills water, empty dirty water, and cleans mop pads along with cool air dry
- The mobile app was easy to connect to and has tons of features. Refer to my attached pictures for details. Very comprehensive and has a lot more control than what my previous brand Robot cleaner offered. For example: setting cleaning sequence, Furniture cleaning mode, set tile vs carpet for areas
- Control through the inbuilt YIKO voice assistant works great too and makes it convenient to use sometimes remotely
- Voice narrative from the robot is nice to have. Ex: It says when it is going to self-clean or when the battery is low
- Robot created home map accurately. I am even surprised that the very first time when I tried running, it already knew its charging base station accurately and returned without any issue. Has a quick mapping option that let you create the map easily and is pretty fast
- 3D map optimization gives you more control to add the furniture and other products to the map
- Child lock is a nice addition to the base station
- Reasonably priced for the features it offers- Comes with extra brushes and mops
- Detailed manual provided with all steps and troubleshooting details
- Manufacturer provides long 12 months warranty as well
Cons:
- The base station is large in dimension, and also decently heavy. Probably the biggest I have ever seen in any robot
- Definitely expensive in competition but unique technology for mop and premium features trade it off for us
- Inbuilt cameras could be a little concerning for privacy reasons for many
- Picture quality is not the best I have seen in cameras, especially when it is dark or there is direct light on the lens. I wish it had better cameras in it
- Small thing but there is no option to add a custom name to the areas on the map

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022
My wife and I have owned two robot cleaners - the Neato brand model and other Uoni v980 plus that we have been using for 5 years for our home cleaning. And we recently got a Shark robot with a self-emptying model that eased our job of cleaning and replaced previous robots. However, we decided to try this one just for the scrubbing mop functionality. Have used it thrice during my last 1 week of owning this device and here is my take. I would highly recommend this as it is a complete package. Do note I tried the X1 turbo model before this and then decided to return that I take the Omni model since it gives you an additional self-emptying dirt bin too.

First thing, this thing is HUGE. Best to have someone at home to receive the delivery because I'm not sure you want to leave such an expensive item out on your porch! Also best to have someone who can carry it inside the house as it's quite heavy. So that's the first thing too, make sure you have a location that's big enough to accommodate the base station, you need decent clearance all around the machine. It has a dramatically bigger footprint than my N8+, both the width and the height.
Second, because of the large footprint, it means it also has a large water tank, actually two, one for clean water and one for dirty water. Again, the point of this upgrade is so I don't have to constantly add water and to change the mop pads so large water tanks definitely appreciated. This machine not only will clean your pads but there's also a feature to dry it (fancy!)
Third, this machine is such a BIG improvement when it comes to mapping. It took me a few very frustrated tries to get my whole house mapped for the N8+. With this one, it was so easy that I questioned if I actually mapped my house or not. It's got a quick mapping feature and it seriously took a fraction of the time to just quickly map the house and to start cleaning. My old N8+ can only accommodate two maps whereas this one I can do three, this works better for me as I live in a multi-storey house.
Fourth, it has a CAMERA! Like who would have thought you would need a camera on a vacuum? But it's one of those things you didn't know you needed and honestly, it was a surprised to have this feature and I honestly thought something like that would only be in an even more expensive machine. The most obvious use is to turn on the camera to see where the vacuum is cleaning, but there are also other uses that can be quite pratical. For example, if you have animals or if you want to do an emergency welfare check on a senior etc.
Fifth, it's got a lot more detailed features/customizations over the N8+. This is expected due to the higher price tag. I do like the option to be able to deep clean and to focus on corners etc, but I was surprised how quickly it drains the battery when it is on deep cleaning mode. I suppose it makes sense because the higher power required, but I don't think depe cleaning is necessary for everyday use.
Sixth, I wish the manual was a bit better with more information. I'm still trying to figure out how this mopping thing works in multi-storey house. For my N8+, once I map the house I don't need to move the base station to another floor. But so far I'm not sure how that works for the X1 Omni beacaue when I try to take it to another floor to mop, I'm not sure if I need to move the base (I sure hope not cause it's heavy). But it doesn't really tell you how often the robot should return to the docking station to refill water.
Seventh, you can connect this to your smart home such as google home and use voice commands with it. Pretty good feature if you have family members who may not be tech savvy.
Eighth, suction power is good and you. An choose different level depending on your need. As for mopping power that has yet to be seen as I have not been able to try it on stains or spills etc yet. However, I'm hopeful that it'll perform better than my N8+ because this one actually applies pressure and the mop pads rotate, one of the biggest feature I was looking for.
Overall, I'm happy that I got this on sale and for all the feature that's definitely worth it. I'm happy with the quality of the machine and the features in the app. So far cleaning power met my expectations and it's a huge improvement from my N8+.
