“These are clever features developed in direct response to consumer feedback, making the evolution of our T-series robot more time-saving, powerful and hands-free than ever before. It means that Australians can enjoy the promise of a spotless and hassle-free home, with less time spent cleaning and more time spent living.”
DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI – 10 New Innovations At A Glance:
1. TruEdgeTM Adaptive Edge Mopping – An Expert in edge cleaning
The DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI innovates the traditional round robot shape with the industry’s most advanced and adaptive extendable mopping arm. New TruEdge Adaptive Edge Mopping Technology sets the T30 PRO OMNI apart by being able to reach often-neglected, hard-to-clean areas such as edges, corners, and tables and chairs legs. While extenders in competitor products only activate when encountering easily recognisable long edges, ECOVACS’ Continuously Variable Mop Extender features a fully extendable and retractable design that effortlessly applies the right pressure in complex corners during the cleaning process, ensuring close to 100% edge cleaning coverage. Advanced 3D omnidirectional collaborative perception algorithms and multiple sensors help the robots hug walls, navigate tight spaces, and skilfully avoid obstacles with meticulous precision.
2. Mini OMNI Station for space limits – Small in Size, Big in power
In a groundbreaking design evolution, ECOVACS has redesigned 90% of components in its previous OMNI station to achieve a remarkable 30% reduction in size, enabling it to fit into tighter spaces while still delivering incredible functionality. Able to self-clean mop pads and empty the robot’s dustbin, the space-saving benefits are largely thanks to two key changes. The first evolution is an Open Water Tank design which, at 42cm high, means only 60cm clearance is required to remove, refill, and replace water tanks in the station. Second, its front-opened maintenance design allows users to effortlessly position the Station in any location that suits their needs. This compact yet elegant design is perfect for low-height areas such as under kitchen sinks or suspended cabinets.
The Mini OMNI Station only needs to be cleaned itself once every 150 days. This is thanks to a detachable baseplate and upgraded filtration structure in the mop washing tray, as well as a triangular scraper matrix which results in cleaner mops. Furthermore, the station’s automatic self-cleaning procedure effectively flushes the baseplate and removes wastewater, eliminating stagnant water and residue on a regular basis ensuring hygiene and minimal maintenance.
While smaller, the OMNI station is actually more powerful, raising the hot water mop washing temperature to 70°C, retaining its 45°C hot air-drying cycle and emptying the robot’s dustbin into a large 3L dust bag. This means the robot can clean for 90 days between dust bag changes, maximising convenience while minimising maintenance.
3. ZeroTangle Anti-Tangle Technology – Say Goodbye to tangled hair
The DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI offers superior cleaning performance with new ZeroTangle Anti-Tangle Technology that incorporates a specially designed anti-tangling roller brush with Dual Comb Teeth Arrays to ensure a remarkable reduction in hair entanglement. A cleaning efficiency of up to 99.4% is achieved via the three-step process, with a specially designed V-shaped roller brush at its heart. Its 21° flat bristle design minimises gaps and sweeps diagonally with outward-rotating angled bristles allowing it to adhere strongly to the ground reaching deep into gaps in carpets, while anti-static soft bristles prevent tangling by reducing static attraction. The built-in Dual Comb Teeth Arrays in the roller brush compartment proactively push hair into the suction port, effectively removing hairs from bristle gaps. This process is then completed with a streamlined cavity structure and high-suction fan to effortlessly capture every hair. These steps forward not only impact hair entanglement, but also deliver unparalleled efficiency in dirt removal, setting a new industry standard.
4. ECOVACS’ Strongest Ever Robot Vacuum – 11,000Pa for thorough carpet cleaning
No dirt, dust, or debris is too much for the DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI. Equipped with a powerful new high-speed motor, ECOVACS delivers exceptional cleaning performance with an impressive 11,000 Pa suction power, an 80% increase when compared to the suction power on its predecessor. The result – impeccably clean floors from corner to corner, ensuring a dust- and debris-free environment.
5. Place and Sweep, one-touch spot cleaning
Tackle unexpected messes easily thanks to the dedicated Spot Cleaning button. With a single press, the DEEBOT efficiently cleans a precise 1.5m x 1.5m area around its current location. This targeted cleaning mode is perfect for addressing spills, dirt patches, or any area needing quick clean-up. This addresses a consumer desire to simply place the robot near a mess, and simply press to sweep a targeted area as needed.
6. Foot touch control – Intuitive & Effortless
Developed in direct response to user feedback, a Whole House Cleaning cycle can now be activated with a simple foot press on the DEEBOT’s front bumper. It is designed to avoid accidental activation during normal operation, and a gentle push resumes the cleaning program when paused. Additionally, optional child lock disables the foot touch function for enhanced safety and control.
7. Intelligent Mopping tackling stubborn stains – No stains left uncared for
Effortless cleanliness is possible through the DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI’s Intelligent Mopping feature. Using the high-sensitivity sensors built into the station to detect mop dirtiness during mop cleaning, the cleanliness level of the cleaned area is categorised into three levels: ‘Clean,’ ‘Slightly Dirty,’ and ‘Very Dirty.’ Cleaning strategies are then matched based on the category. For example, if the area is ‘Very Dirty’, the robot will re-clean the last cleaned area with Deep Scrubbing mode on two extra rounds. After cleaning, a ‘dirtiness map’ is generated to visually display the ‘dirtiness’ status of each room, as well as the cleaned area, time taken, and other details. The result: A truly spotless and hygienic home, achieved with ease.
8. 9mm Auto-Lift Mopping – Smart & Agile to prevent cross-contamination
Never worry about damp carpets. When encountering rugs or returning to its station, the DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI automatically lifts its mop plates to 9 mm (4mm higher than its predecessor). This intelligent feature prevents cross-contamination and keeps carpets and hard floors impeccably clean.
9. Phone Widgets & Apple Watch Support – the ultimate user-friendly experience
An even more intuitive consumer experience for the digitally immersed, ECOVACS introduces new ways to operate the DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI based on the consumer’s lifestyles and preferences. These include the ECOVACS HOME widget which grants quick access to whole-house cleaning, and return-to-charge commands right from the home screen. iPhone users can enjoy the Dynamic Island feature, offering at-a-glance cleaning status and intuitive controls for pause, resume, and station return. Users can also connect their DEEBOT to the ECOVACS HOME app on their Apple Watch for ultimate convenience. Monitor operational status and execute basic controls directly from the wrist.
10. Bluetooth Quick Pairing Simplifies Setup
Gone are the days of Wi-Fi juggling during pairing. The DEEBOT T30 PRO OMNI introduces Bluetooth Quick Pairing, eliminating the need to switch between devices and simplifying the setup process. Users can enjoy instant connection and immediate control, allowing them to start cleaning tasks without delay.
