bObsweep UltraVision · Ecovacs Deebot T30 Pro Omni

The dock takes care of dust for up to 180 days; the mop is a cloth you wash yourself.

List price is $929 at bObsweep, yet retailer sales have sold the same model for $299, so the price paid depends almost entirely on timing.

The dock eliminates manual mop rinsing, but introduces a 20-30 minute wash-and-dry cycle that conflicts with quiet household hours.

Ecovacs publishes up to 290 minutes in silent mode on hard floor, but that is a best case; raising suction toward the 11,000 Pa maximum shortens a charge substantially, and no runtime at that setting is published.

The automated dock adds convenience but brings its own upkeep, mop pads, dust bags and tank refills, that a budget vacuum does not carry.

Homes with shag or deep high-pile rugs

bObsweep's own manual says the brush is not suitable for shag, and no published figure covers other high-pile carpet.

Households that want a mop washed and dried by the dock

The mop is a clip-on microfiber cloth with no rotation, no low-water alert and no washing station; owners wash the cloths by hand.

Long-haired households wanting no brush maintenance

Best Buy owners report hair wrapping the brush roll and weekly manual clearing, since the brush has no self-cutting feature.

Networks that broadcast only 5 GHz Wi-Fi

The owner's manual requires a 2.4 GHz connection to reach the app, maps and schedules.

Homes with sunken showers or step-downs left open

One Best Buy owner watched it fall into a shower well on its second run, and the manual warns it may stall on ledges.

Buyers who will not accept a networked camera in the home

The robot carries a camera and depends on the Ecovacs cloud, and no fully local mode is documented. Ecovacs has a documented security incident history across the Deebot line, including a 2024 DEF CON demonstration of Bluetooth takeover and a subsequent CISA advisory covering Deebot vacuums and base stations.

Homes requiring silent daytime operation

Dock wash cycles run 20-30 minutes at 60-70 dB after mop sessions. Owner reports note scheduling conflicts in work-from-home environments.

Buyers requiring offline or local-only operation

All advanced features depend on Ecovacs cloud servers. No documented local-only scheduling or mapping mode. Cloud connectivity is required for routine operation.

Single-floor homes exceeding 3,000 sq ft

Ecovacs publishes up to 290 minutes in silent mode on hard floor, which is a best case; higher suction modes draw that down, so very large floors take a mid-session recharge and a longer total elapsed time.
