Appearance
The robot's body has a traditional round shape and is made of high-quality, safe materials. Its compact dimensions allow it to easily reach under furniture and into corners. The DeeBot DM88 robot vacuum's attractive, ergonomic design will complement any interior, adding a touch of modernity and style.
Top view
The entire front side of the body is surrounded by a shock-absorbing bumper to soften the impact of accidental contact with interior items and prevent mechanical damage to the cleaner itself and furniture.
Side view
On the top of the body is a lid, underneath which is the dust collection tank. When viewing the robot vacuum cleaner from below, the kinematic system is visible—two drive wheels and a swivel support roller for maneuverability. The cleaning unit consists of two side brushes, a central main brush, and a suction port. The bottom of the body houses a mounting platform for the wet cleaning module and an on/off button.

Functional capabilities
The Ecovacs Deebot DM88 is a highly intelligent robot vacuum cleaner designed for daily dry and wet cleaning of any type of hard flooring and carpet. This multifunctional device features a wet mopping function—it can sweep, vacuum, mop, or thoroughly clean and wash floors. It features several operating modes:
- "AUTO" (automatic) is the most common mode, suitable for daily cleaning of the entire room.
- "Intensive" - intensive.
- “Single Room” – only for one room with a maximum area of 30 sq.m.
- “Spot” (local, point) – for areas with more severe pollution, operating time 2-5 minutes.
- "Edge" (along the perimeter) - along the walls and in the corners of the room.
Trajectory of movement
The robot's trajectory is either chosen automatically by the robot in automatic mode (random trajectory, the default), or programmed using the control buttons on the body or remote control (programmed trajectory). In the first case, the device moves in a straight line and changes direction when encountering obstacles. In the second case, it moves in a straight line back and forth, returning to missed areas, and then passes along the edges of the room before completing the cleaning cycle.
The DeeBot DM88 robot vacuum cleaner combines two cutting-edge technologies: Smart Move, which imitates human movement when cleaning smooth floors, and Smart Motion, which removes stubborn stains from carpets.
Floor cleaning
An intelligent system of built-in sensors prevents the robot from colliding with interior objects. When it detects obstacles, the device slows down and changes its trajectory to avoid them. Cliff detection sensors prevent falls from stairs.
Operation of sensors
DeeBot DM88 has additional features:
- Set a smart schedule and a timed schedule. Using the buttons on the control panel, you can program the robot vacuum to run automatically once a day at the same time, or multiple times a day at set times.
- A powerful motor with MAX suction for deep cleaning. Suction power and cleaning mode are automatically selected based on the floor type. For added convenience, the device is equipped with two interchangeable attachments. The main brush and maximum suction power are ideal for deep cleaning. The direct suction attachment, when the main brush is removed, allows for tangling-free hair and pet hair collection.
- Status monitoring. When a problem occurs and assistance is needed, the device emits warning tones, and the "AUTO" button flashes red.
- Automatic return to charging station. After finishing work or when the battery level drops to 10%, the robot automatically switches to return-to-charging mode.
- Smartphone control. Using the dedicated Ecovacs app installed on your smartphone, you can control your robot vacuum online from anywhere.
