Ecovacs

Omni docks that wash, dry and empty — and a naming system that makes the wrong model easy to buy

The argument for Ecovacs is the dock. A machine that empties itself into a bag, washes its own mop pads and dries them removes the daily step that ends most robot ownership.

What the Omni dock actually does

Dust transfer into a sealed bag, a hot-water wash of the mop pads, and a drying cycle so the pads do not sit damp between runs. Where a maker publishes the wash temperature, it is a real specification; where it does not, it cannot be compared.

The naming is the hazard

T30, T50, Omni, Gen 3, and color variants that carry different suffixes. Two listings can describe the same machine in different housings, or two different machines under names one character apart. On this site, the white variant of a robot already published was dropped for exactly that reason.

Buy by the model number printed under the machine, and check the generation before ordering consumables — brushes and bags are not interchangeable across generations that share a name.

Consumables

The dock is a subscription in disguise: bags, mop pads, side brushes and filters. Price a year of them before choosing the brand, because that figure varies more between makers than the machines do.
