hey guys I'm Ben from authentech and today we'll be checking out a robot
vacuum that's packed with some sweet top tier features yet priced more affordable
than a lot of the competition this is the Deebot Ozmo 930 and huge thanks to
ECOVACS for sponsoring today's video it uses lasers for mapping and room
navigation virtual boundaries dual side sweepers water mopping Google and exit
integration and quite a bit more let's check it out now first things first if
you haven't heard of eco vex before they are not a small no-name brand they've
actually been around for over 20 years and they already have a wide offering of
products in the box includes some papers the Osmo 932 washable microfiber
cleaning cloths water tank charging dock for side brushes and a spare filter the
overall design is clean and modern and classy the Osmo has impressive attention
to detail which I always appreciate there's an easy flip lid to access the
dust bin a carrying handle and swinging hinge door for easy emptying which by
the way that sponge filter is washable also tucked underneath is a convenient
cleaning tool to cut off and remove hair tangled around the main brush right next
to that is the upgrade port power switch and reset button in the back is a 300
milliliters water reservoir easy to fill up more on this later on the top and up
front is the main control button plus a built-in carrying handle which it's hard
to convey but believe me it's very helpful to have all the time underneath
are all kinds of sensors driving wheels on main brush which is mixed between
rubber flaps and a bristle roller to side brushes click right and color-coded
nice and easy to install the setup and attachment for what mopping was made
with nice design the cleaning plate and cloth simply snap right into place and
pull off for removal just as easy the charging dock is a little bit smaller
than a lot of the competition out there which a smaller footprint is a win in my
book on the bottom are these nice and semi sticky pads which help prevent the
dock from sliding around on hard floors and this is another small
but critical nice detail to have on the back as a well designed cable loop
system for wrapping up any extra cord so it's off the floor and keeps the area
clean so let's jump into the setup which is done in four easy steps first
download their app on a side note here I found there were two apps I first tried
their eco Vaxholm app which is for certain models but the newer higher-end
930 required a different app simply called eco vex step to register or log
in with an account step 3 add a robot and connect it to your home Wi-Fi 5
gigahertz is sadly not supported and bam step 4 will guide you through pressing
the reset button and connecting your phone directly to the eco vac and that's
it so let's run through some of the key features first is a big one laser
mapping technology we can watch live on the map like a Doppler radar as the d
bot navigates around your home it's not only fun and addicting to watch but it's
actually quite useful to know where it currently is where it's cleaned and
where it still needs to go the map will even show carpets identification areas
with these little symbols on the map and two benefits here as the suction power
will automatically boost for deeper cleaning on the carpets plus the D bot
will avoid carpets when running in mopping mode so on this note of mapping
it takes just one full house cleaning to generate a locked-in map now this is
nice for efficiency just make sure all your doors and closets are open
everything is picked up off the floor as you can't easily go back and add rooms
or areas to the locked in map afterwards without wiping and creating a new one I
think they're working on this for future app updates
let's stay tuned now back to the master map there's some suite features here we
can add virtual boundary lines and zones that we want the vac to avoid these are
very helpful to have and perfect for marking off sensitive areas or maybe
spots that can easily tangle up the robot vac we can draw a custom area on
the map for a specific cleaning with or to pass another awesome feature of
the master map it Auto generates these lettered zones that we can select for
the vac to go and clean even better we can select multiple zones at a time or
better yet we can schedule those specific zones on certain days and times
so maybe you want to send the vac out to just clean the kitchen area every night
after dinner or how about this one I personally use every single morning
seven days a week head out at 7:30 a.m. and clean just
these rooms that are high trafficked and I know that they're often filled with a
bit more dust dirt and crumbs to have all this in-depth control and effortless
cleaning hands-free wireless monitoring from anywhere these smart backs are
getting really nice to have here's just a few more fun features the vac has a
slim at clearance so it can easily navigate under furniture and other areas
to help clean those hard-to-reach spots this d-bots is actually very quiet
compared to other robot backs I've had in the past and this is nice as it
doesn't drown out your hearing and it makes me think I could easily run this
in the middle of the night without worrying of waking anyone up I love the
audible voice notifications and I find these much more helpful than just silly
beeps and bops that don't clearly convey the vacuum status so for example if it's
low on battery and heading back to the dock thank you for telling me by voice
this way I know it's going to go back out afterwards and it's not done with
the cleaning just yet I love those perfect vacuum lines left in the carpet
and I always rave about these they leave a great sense of a clean room without
you lifting a finger we can even see how much overlap is in the path and it seems
to do a pretty thorough cleaning if the vac is out on a cleaning job and
it runs low on battery it will go back to the dock recharge and then head back
to where it left off to finish the job there's mopping mode which is easy fill
up the water reservoir and you can even set the amount of water dispensed for
mopping as it has an electronically controlled
water pump plus sensors that monitor water flow to help ensure a consistent
cleaning the Osmo 930 also integrates with exa and Google assistant this means
I can voice control the robot back to start a clean pause or stop and dock the
next thing that will make this even better is when we can rename our areas
so then I can voice command Osmo go clean the kitchen and it goes directly
to that room and that'd be awesome now I have to say after a few weeks of using
the Osmo it was working great but then out of nowhere the vacuum randomly
disconnected from my home Wi-Fi and after trying all their troubleshooting
steps I had to hard reset the vac to riad it to my Wi-Fi via the app and this
wiped all my history and mapping which was a huge bummer I really hope they
released an update to this soon now speaking of Wi-Fi on a positive note
there's this really clever coverage map feature in the app and it shows you a
visual map of Wi-Fi signal strength throughout your floor plan this is
really neat and could help troubleshoot any dead spots you might have in your
home here's just a few other wishlist items I found
I wish the app gave me a battery percentage number instead of a simple
icon and maybe even a countdown timer until the vac is fully charged or run
time left also as we can see the area cleaned it'd
be nice to switch from metric to imperial even though I hands-down agree
metric is a better system but unfortunately I'm more familiar with
feet / meters and lasts up as I mentioned previously give us a little
more control over the map management like modifying rooms and names let me
add a mis section to the map without having to reset the entire map also
allow me to create multiple floor plans if possible this is sort of important
for two plus story homes now overall the price of the Osmo 930 seems to be in
that five hundred and fifty dollar range possibly even cheaper on Amazon with
special warehouse deals it also looks like you could buy through other
retailers as well like Target Home Depot Walmart and more as always all the links

and thank you for watching stick around for more tech videos posted every single
week and until next time let's live all event AK
