DEEBOT Pro 930 your new cleaning ally smart health innovation
The Ecovacs DEEBOT Pro 930 is a two-in-one product. It is actually a smart cordless handheld vacuum cleaner and a standalone vacuum cleaner. It is the latter that interests us particularly.

DEEBOT Pro 930 Unboxing
The Ecovacs Deebot Pro 930 is sold in a large box. Which is normal since it’s the combination of a robot vacuum and a cordless hand vacuum. All the pieces are arranged in boxes carefully mounted on top of each other. Most are also stored in protective cloth bags. They are easily recognizable thanks to their characteristic shapes.
The first thing that we find when opening the box is the instruction manual. It is a good idea to put it forward since it is most likely to be needed. And if you want to use the box again to store or carry the vacuum cleaner, it’s just as easy as taking it out. Generally the product is tidy ; an effort that we appreciate.
DEEBOT Pro 930 design and ergonomics
The DEEBOT Pro 930 consists of two parts. First of all, the self-contained, all-round vacuum, the centerpiece of the package, and a cordless hand vacuum that complements it. The robot is sober, with a sleek design and a black set, a few bluish touches here and there brighten up the whole. Overall, it is master key. Its diameter of 35.4 cm and its weight of 7.6 kg place it in the average of machines of this type. Beware, however, of the disc that handles laser guidance. It overlooks the rest of the aircraft and increases the overall height. With a little more than 10 cm high, it is possible that the DEEBOT does not go under all the furniture. We are thinking here of certain sofas, even armchairs and coffee tables.
Another little annoyance, its crossing threshold of 1.6 cm maximum nothing impressive. He will manage to pass a small bump on his way after an immeasurable effort. On the other side, a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner with a classic design. His functions are just as important. It can be stored in the charging station when not in use. It is placed against a wall, in a space sufficient to accommodate it. She is not very discreet, but knows how to be forgotten.
Getting started with DEEBOT Pro 930
When you turn on the DEEBOT Pro 930 for the first time, the device speaks in English. It’s a little surprising, even disconcerting, and it takes a little time to understand what he is saying. Fortunately, it is possible to choose another language, including French, in order to have a more flexible conversation with the device. It’s unfortunate that this didn’t happen right away.
The manipulation is carried out via the application to download on smartphones. It’s by the way one of the first steps when getting started with the device. Once the application is installed, it is possible to configure the vacuum cleaner from A to Z or simply to launch an automatic cleaning program. She also gives valuable life-time information brushes and filters used by the device. So it’s easy to know when to change them. And for owners of Google health home or Amazon Echo products, know that it is possible to connect the robot to these voice assistants and control everything by voice.
Silent but long to load
The first impression when it is in working order is thatit doesn’t make a lot of noise. By measuring with a sound level meter, you realize that the figure rarely exceeds 65 dB, which is very correct. The second is that it cleans quickly and well. It will not take much more than 30 minutes, maybe 35, to clean a 30 m² room. Its average speed is thusabout 1 m² cleaned per minute. As for his operating time, we were able to do three sessions of more or less 30 minutes before he needed to return to his base to charge, which he does on his own. All with an 80% full battery. Its autonomy is in the same range as most of the autonomous vacuum cleaners on the market.
Full battery charging time lasts 4 hours. In absolute terms it is a high figure and one might be offended, but in reality it is very likely that the vacuum cleaner will recharge at night or during off-peak periods. You really shouldn’t be lucky to be faced with an emergency cleaning case where the robot’s battery is empty and that of the hand vacuum cleaner is also. This is one of the advantages of the DEEBOT Pro 930, and its two vacuum cleaners, as useful for finishing as for unforeseen.
DEEBOT Pro 930 features
The DEEBOT Pro 930 robot vacuum cleaner comes on board a navigation system by laser guidance (or lidar) soberly titled Smart Navigation 3.0, in addition to anti-collision sensors and bumpers. This is the type of navigation most advanced at present for these robots. Its small laser turret scans the environment to determine the layout of the space and integrate the dimensions of what is there. The advantage over a visual camera guidance system is that it can work with all types of lights. In addition, both do a complete mapping of places.
It’s fun to follow the progress of cleaning on your phone. The room, initially grayed out, is gradually discovered depending on where the robot passes. Besides, this is where it deserves its name of “smart” since it does little to retrace his steps and will always try to go into still unexplored or dusty areas. He is also clever enough to avoid rushing down the stairs or any gaping hole that would appear before him. It is also possible to define certain areas for the vacuum cleaner to be confined to a chosen location. However, we were unable to meet all the conditions necessary to be able to Review it at the writing.
A robot vacuum cleaner that also mops the floor
By exchanging one part for another, the robot has several operating modes. You can choose from two options for two different types of programs. The main brush which cleans in addition to sucking, and direct aspiration which focuses on its primary function. It is this second option that should be used most often. It is suitable for hair and animal hair. In addition, the DEEBOT Pro 930 adjusts its suction power when it knows it is on a carpet for even more efficient work.
The vacuum cleaner finally has a water tank and can enter in mop mode for real cleaning. This is the OZMO washing system. You shouldn’t expect something revolutionary, but it’s a nice bonus. The machine is doing a good job.
The DEEBOT Pro 930 against its competitors
Neato Botvac D7
With its characteristic D shape, the Neato Botvac D7 is a serious competitor. Thanks to its two operating modes, turbo and eco, it adapts to the needs of its user. It also has a laser guided system which gives him mapping options. Very simple to use, the American robot nevertheless fishes in its sometimes too high sound intensity. Nor is it the most effective on a thick carpet. AT the expensive base, but often on sale these days, is an interesting alternative.

Xiaomi Roborock S5
Xiaomi is not content to offer complete and high-end smartphones at bargain prices. The Chinese manufacturer attacks all smart objects on the market and continues its tradition with the Roborock S5. The robot vacuum cleaner can do almost everything DEEBOT has in its range, even the mop function. In addition, its battery allows it to hold more than 2:30 in normal mode, and takes only 2 hours to recharge. Some critics, however, report a somewhat light reliability and a product that wears out quickly.

Conclusion
The Chinese of Ecovacs offer with the DEEBOT Pro 930 a real heavyweight in the world of robot vacuums. Its laser-guided system makes it suck so efficient and intelligent. And it does so at a reasonable noise level. And for inaccessible places, the cordless handheld vacuum cleaner offered with completes the job perfectly. The application makes it easy to control and use its many on-board functions. We regret nevertheless some small faults here and there, such as its cooldown, or its inability to overcome certain obstacles. Certainly a shame, but how can you not be touched when you see the little “Z” when it is in standby? Finally, this little robot is like a pet that cleans instead of making dirt everywhere. Isn’t that a good alternative?
