The latest addition to the range, the Deebot 900 carries with it the very latest version of the laser mapping system. Able to adapt its suction power according to the type of soil, its technological background, allows it to perform its task always more efficiently and quickly.

Presentation of the Deebot 900

Like many of its competitors, the Deebot 900 has a very classic circular shape. The set is made of thick and shiny plastic giving the feeling of a good quality product. The finishes and the quality of the set are impeccable.

It is surmounted by a laser rangefinder or “LIDAR” allowing it to be located precisely in a room, with its sensor, it measures a total of 9.5 cm in height. A cover is also available, it opens from the top of the device and gives access to the dust bin. There is also a multifunction button allowing to launch a cleaning session or to pause it as well as an indicator light on the WiFi connectivity.

Connectivity

Like all robot vacuum cleaners at health home Ecovacs, the Deebot 900 has connectivity with a smartphone. With a simple and clear ergonomics, it will extend the functionality of the device.

All starts with the association between the two devices which is done simply by following the instructions provided.

A times this done, we access various features like launching the device remotely, real-time mapping. Real-time mapping allows us to follow the movement of the robot very precisely in the room and to visualize the representation of the different rooms in the house. You will also have the possibility of creating virtual cleaning zones in which the robot will limit its action.

he it is also possible for us to define a weekly schedule, and to precisely follow the lifespan of the various consumables.

Its maintenance

After rough use

In an environment loaded with animal hair and children's toys, the Deebot 900 is doing very well. Perfectly autonomous, its zigzag aspiration mode and its mapping system allow it to get out easily. Cleaning is methodical, even if it happens to iron twice in the same place. We can also ensure the smooth passage by following its route once completed on our smartphone. That this is tables, chairs or even carpets nothing can resist it. Even if on the rugs, he shows some signs of difficulties.

For noise, we are average with 60 dB. This allows me to start a cleaning cycle at night when everyone is asleep. And for autonomy, it is estimated at 1:40 with a full recharge time of 4 hours. It’s a bit long, cause of technology NiMH used for the battery, less efficient than a li-ion battery.

My opinion on the robot vacuum cleaner Deebot 900

Sold at a price of 440 €, the Deebot 900 gives you considerable flexibility in use thanks to its laser telemetry and its interactive mapping system. Able to adapt to any room, even when congested, it will bring a very satisfactory result on hard floors and a little less on carpets. It remains a very good product, practical and easy to use in everyday life.
