Amazon slashes the price of the Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum for one day

Bruce Brown
By

Amazon took a dramatic price cut for its Deal of the Day on the Alexa-compatible Ecovacs Deebot 901 robot vacuum cleaner. When Digital Trends reviewed the premium-level Deebot 901 smart vacuum, the reviewer gave it high marks for room mapping support, virtual boundaries, and voice response with Alexa and Google Assistant.

The Ecovacs Deebot N79S robot vacuum is also on sale. The Deebot N79S doesn’t have the 9o1’s mapping and virtual boundaries, but the N79S responds to Amazon Alexa voice commands and the Ecovacs app. Last fall I bought a Deebot N79S, and my wife and I are extremely pleased with its floor-cleaning capabilities.

These two Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums are both on the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums for 2019 shortlist. With two Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuums on sale on Amazon, both Alexa compatible, you have an opportunity to choose between a highly functional base model or a premium model. Both Deebots are benefiting from deep price cuts, although the high-end Deebot 901 sale price is only good for one day. Whether you’re buying for your own home, shopping for Mother’s Day, or looking for a killer wedding gift, these two deals can help you save up to $235.

Rated “Best for Pets” in the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums for 2019, the Ecovacs Deebot 901 scored high in smart mapping in our testing. Accurate mapping helps the robot vac avoid collisions while it chooses the most efficient path to clean your rooms. The Deebot 901 has the Ecovacs third-generation navigation technology aided by laser sensors. This model is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home and also has a unique voice-reporting feature that informs of you its progress while cleaning.

Normally priced at $500, the Deebot 901 is just $265 on Amazon for today only. If you want a premium robot vacuum that works with Alexa or Google Home, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of this awesome price.

The second Ecovacs model on the Digital Trends Best Robot Vacuums of 2019, the Deebot N79S scored as the best budget model. I bought a Deebot N79S as a surprise house gift for Christmas last year, and my wife calls it, “The best gift ever.” We’ve been using it every week for almost four months to clean the floors of our home and are happy to turn over that chore to a robotic assistant.

While it’s considered a “budget” robot vacuum, the Deebot N79S is Alexa compatible and responds to voice commands to start and stop cleaning and return to its charger. In addition to Auto mode, in which the Deebot cleans the whole house, more targeted Single Room and Spot Cleaning modes are handy. We have a large dog and have been particularly impressed with the Spot Cleaning mode for cleaning up when she charges into the house with muddy feet.

Usually $300, the Ecovacs Deebot N79S is on sale for $190. If you’re looking for a powerful robot vacuum and don’t need features like virtual mapping and selective area cleaning, this is a chance to buy at an attractive price.

Eufy shows off four security cameras and an upcoming robot vacuum
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni in a living room.

Eufy is a big name in the smart home space, and it had plenty of cool gadgets to show off at CES 2024. Along with giving consumers a closer look at four recently launched security cameras, Eufy revealed the X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum and mop, which looks to be an affordable alternative to flagships from Roborock and Ecovacs.

The X10 Pro Omni doesn't make any huge innovations in the world of robot vacuums. Most of its features we've already seen on other robots, such as its ability to empty its dustbin, clean its mop, then dry it to prevent the accumulation of mildew. It also boasts an avoidance system to ensure it's not bumping into any shoes, toys, or other items that have accidentally been left in its path. And while its 8,000 Pa of suction is impressive, it's a number a handful of other robots have already hit.

Ecovacs upgrades the X2 Omni robot vacuum with a cordless vacuum attachment
The Ecovacs X2 Combo installed in a home.

The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni was one of our favorite robot vacuums of 2023, and it's becoming even more enticing later this year. The all-new Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo, which debuted during CES 2024, takes everything that made the X2 Omni special and bundles it with a cordless vacuum attachment, making it the first whole-home vacuum system designed by Ecovacs.

There isn't much new about the X2 Omni robot vacuum, though it's perfectly fine in its current form. Offering 8,000 Pa of suction, a square design to better clean edges, and the ability to lift its mops while traveling on carpet, the X2 Omni received a glowing review from Digital Trends that found it to be one of the best robot vacuums. It also boasts a docking station that automates most of your daily chores -- including emptying its dustbin and washing its mop with hot water before drying it with warm air.

Roborock shows off highly automated robot vacuums at CES 2024
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

Roborock is responsible for many of the best robot vacuums, and this year is shaping up to be another big one for the company. A whole fleet of robot vacuums were on display at CES 2024, including the highly automated S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra -- both of which can connect to your home drainage system to automatically empty and refill their water reservoirs.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most luxurious of the bunch, offering a self-maintained cleaning system that will empty water tanks, refill water tanks, dispense detergent, wash its mop with hot water, and dry its mop with warm air. All this is possible due to its newfound ability to connect to your home's built-in drain lines, removing the need for you to fuss around with dirty water tanks or refill water reservoirs (which is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum).
