Functional capabilities

The Ecovacs DeeBot 900 robotic vacuum cleaner can recognize its surroundings using the built-in Smart Navi 3.0 laser navigation system. The robot first scans the room, then creates a virtual map for quick and accurate orientation and automatic planning of an efficient route, taking into account the unique features of each room in the house. The Smart Navi 3.0 navigation system allows for customized cleaning settings, defining virtual boundaries, and setting specific areas the robotic vacuum cleaner should avoid to avoid damaging fragile items, spilling water from a pet's bowl, or touching children's toys.

As we noted in our previous review, the Ecovacs DeeBot 900 robot can not only sweep and vacuum the floor, but also mop it with a damp microfiber cloth. The app allows you to electronically adjust the suction power and the degree of dampness of the cloth.

Dry cleaning is accomplished with two side brushes and a V-shaped main brush, which can be replaced with a direct suction module (intake). The main brush can be useful for cleaning the most stubborn dirt and carpets.

The DeeBot 900 robot vacuum cleaner has the following operating modes:

• auto;
• intensive;
• individual.

You can manage and monitor the robot vacuum's operation in the Ecovacs app. Here, you can set the robot vacuum's schedule, select one of the available modes, and customize cleaning priorities. For example, you can schedule frequent cleaning of the busiest areas of your apartment.

In addition, the Ecovacs DeeBot 900 robot vacuum cleaner is compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa voice assistants and can work in a Smart Home system.
