A New Bagless Robot Vacuum from Ecovacs: the Deebot N20 Pro Plus

Ecovacs has unveiled the Deebot N20 Pro Plus, a pioneering robot vacuum and mop that features the first bagless auto-empty dock equipped with cyclonic vacuum technology in the company’s lineup. This innovative addition underscores Ecovacs’ dedication to expanding their product range while upholding the core features that users have come to anticipate.

Cyclonic Technology at the Station

The Deebot N20 Pro Plus Auto-Empty Station employs Ecovacs’ new PureCyclone Technology, which features a two-stage separation process and a multi-cone structural design. Ecovacs claims this technology minimizes suction loss and prolongs the lifespan of the motor and filter.

Cyclonic vacuum technology has become a standard in the industry following its introduction by Dyson in its upright and cordless vacuums, and has since been adopted by many brands. Recently, this technology has also expanded into robot vacuums with the release of models like the Eureka E10s and now the Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro Plus.

Ecovacs N20


The Ecovacs Deebot N20 Plus earned our budget pick thanks to its excellent performance metrics, including above-average suction, deep carpet cleaning, and impressive pet hair handling. While it includes a mop, its mopping abilities are below average, requiring manual attachment and removal, and it lacks premium features like automatic mop lifting or obstacle avoidance. Despite these trade-offs, the N20’s bagless auto-empty bin and exceptional value for its price make it a standout in the budget category. See additional info

Bagless Debris Bin

Mirroring the design of many upright and cordless cyclonic vacuums, the Auto-Empty Station of the Deebot N20 Pro Plus features a bagless, consumable-free dust container. This sustainable design eliminates the need for replacement dust bags, reducing costs and environmental impact. Its easy-empty feature and clear container simplify maintenance and ensure timely debris disposal.

Suction Power and Mopping Capability

The N20 Pro Plus is equipped with an 8000Pa suction system designed to handle various types of debris, including dirt and pet hair, on both carpets and hard floors. The device’s smart mopping system, the OZMO Pro 2.0 Vibrating Mopping System, uses high-frequency vibrations to remove stubborn stains. It includes a 180ml water tank that maintains consistent wetness for effective mopping.

Additional Features

The N20 Pro Plus robotic vacuum includes several features aimed at enhancing the user experience. Its ZeroTangle Anti-Tangle Technology prevents hair from tangling around the main brush, beneficial for homes with pets. The TrueMapping Intelligent Path Planning uses laser radar scanning for precise navigation, covering floors systematically.

The Ecovacs HOME App allows users to customize cleaning settings, such as adjusting suction power and water flow, and offers various cleaning modes for different needs. The robot also supports voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant.

Conclusion

The Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro Plus combines advanced features like a bagless auto-empty dock, robust suction power, and smart mopping capabilities. With its long runtime and user-friendly controls, it presents a compelling option for those seeking an efficient and low-maintenance automated vacuum cleaner.
