All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
Where each one suits you.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Deebot N20 Pro+ |
|---|---|
| Home size | |
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodCapable in compact spaces but spec'd for up to 550 sqm per charge; a simpler model handles sub-1,500 sqft at lower cost. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodTrueMapping LiDAR and 300-minute runtime cover mid-size single-floor homes in one session per manufacturer specs. |
| Over 3,000 | Good300-minute runtime and 550 sqm coverage claim support very large single-floor layouts; verify actual runtime against floor type and suction mode. |
| Primary floors | |
| Hard floors | Good8,000 Pa suction plus OZMO Pro 2.0 mopping handles hard floors for both dry and light-wet cleaning. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodOwner reports confirm reliable pickup on low-pile and Berber-style rugs; mop pad should be removed or zones set to avoid wetting carpet. |
| High pile / shag | DependsOwner reports document reduced pickup depth on high-pile carpet; max suction partially compensates but shortens runtime below the 300-minute ceiling. |
| Mopping needs | |
| Vacuum only | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. |
| Light mopping | GoodFlat mop pad handles light, routine wiping of hard floors. |
| Frequent mopping | DependsA dragged pad freshens floors but lacks the pressure or scrubbing for heavy, frequent mopping. |
| Upkeep you accept | |
| Regular upkeep | GoodAbout 30 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Some upkeep | GoodAbout 30 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Minimal upkeep | GoodAbout 30 minutes of upkeep a month, and the dock empties the bin. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
What the score is built from.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.

How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
These robots share no measured specification with enough published figures to plot. That is a gap in the record, not a finding about the robots.
What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro+
Ecovacs’ first bagless dock eliminates the dust-bag cost cycle; the 1.5 L PureCyclone canister is rated at 45 days and is emptied by hand, which releases dust a sealed bag would have contained.
The vibrating mop pad is a real cleaning tool on lightly soiled hard floors. No dock wash and no mop lift mean carpet-adjacent runs require pad removal or careful zone mapping: set-and-forget mopping is not what this hardware delivers.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro+
- Owners needing frequent or heavy mopping
- The OZMO Pro 2.0 is a single vibrating flat pad with no dock wash and no mop lift. Heavily soiled floors or frequent use require manual pad removal and hand-washing; the dock does not clean the pad between runs.
- Homes with high-pile carpet throughout
- Owner reports document reduced pickup depth on high-pile carpet at standard suction settings. Max suction partially compensates but shortens runtime from the 300-minute ceiling.
- Layouts where small dark floor objects are common
- Without AI obstacle avoidance, the N20 Pro+ relies on contact bumping and IR sensors for small floor clutter. Dark cables and low-profile items on the floor path are a documented contact risk during scheduled overnight runs.
- Multi-floor homes expecting autonomous floor transfer
- The robot does not transfer between floors autonomously. Each floor requires a separate saved map and manual relocation of the unit, consistent with Level III conditional autonomy.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro+
- After every use: Confirm dock-return success in app; clear any obstacle alerts.
- Weekly: Hand-wash OZMO Pro 2.0 mop pad after mopping sessions; air-dry before reattaching.
- Monthly: Inspect edge brush for hair wrap; remove tangles with the included tool.
- Monthly: Check ZeroTangle main brush roll for embedded debris; wipe LiDAR lens with a dry cloth.
- Every 6 weeks: Empty the bagless canister in the auto-empty station; Ecovacs rates it at 45 days of capacity and high debris volume shortens that.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace or wash the primary filter per manufacturer guidance.
- Annually: Inspect side brush for wear; replacement brushes run approximately $8-12 for a pair.
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
