It also has some frustrating quirks.
At least the battery life is long and it has good mapping.
Its not a bad vacuum by any means its 4 out of 5 rating here should make that clear.

Its cleaning prowess is pretty good, as is its mopping capability.
Realistically, youre going to have to pay $500 / 500+ for anything with mopping functionality.
That said, even when wrapped in hair, it still seems to get the job done.
It will however avoid any kind of carpeting when the mop pad is in use.
You also have to fill up the water reservoir in the vacuum itself regularly.
While its not that much work, this is not the set-it-and-forget-it jot down of robot vacuum.
Of course, thats to be expected at this price point when you add in mopping.
Speaking of the base station, its kind of cute in its petite, somewhat slim design.
It has just enough room for a dust bag, since it does have a self-emptying capability.
Thats certainly the case with the Ecovacs Deebot N10 Plus.
However, I didnt find that that affected its ability to suction up debris.
It did, at least, get edges.
But its good enough.
However, once youve pulled that page up, it follows the same format.
That can be an issue with those with open floor plans.

Should you buy the Ecovacs Deebot N10 Plus?
Of course, you do have to switch out the backplate when you want to vacuum your carpets.
But it is a bit quieter in operation compared with the Deebot N10 Plus.

It also comes with a fairly striking base station that could be its own conversation piece.
I also tested the features listed in the app, most notably the mapping.
