Living in a small apartment has its advantages – but of course also its challenges. All your belongings still have to find their place. Often no square meter goes unused. But it’s when it comes to cleaning that the actually well-used space becomes a problem. But rearranging every time before you want to vacuum or mop? Extremely annoying!
This is exactly where the DEEBOT mini scores points: The new vacuum mopping robot from ECOVACS is said to be able to get into every nook and cranny thanks to its extremely compact design. The question that arises: Does it vacuum just as powerfully as a big one? Well, we tested it in the editorial office and saw what it can really do.
Compact and stylish: first impressions
First the facts: With a diameter of just 28.6 cm and a height of less than 10 cm, the DEEBOT mini is actually one of the most compact robot hoovers on the market. It fits easily under low furniture or in nooks and crannies where conventional models often get stuck.
The included MINI-OMNI station also fits into even the smallest of apartments. It automatically vacuums the dust, dries the mops with hot air, refills the water tank and even cleans itself – all in an area no larger than an A3 sheet of paper. At less than 40 cm high, you can easily fit it into the tightest corner of your home. And it looks pretty stylish too: The transparent water container reveals the technology inside and turns the household helper into a small design statement.
Does the DEEBOT mini pass our crumb corner test?
One of the key strengths of the DEEBOT mini is its cleaning performance. With a suction power of 9,000 Pa, it provides very good results even on carpets and hard floors.
Its ability to navigate intelligently through rooms is also impressive. The small robot navigates precisely, recognizes obstacles in its path and picks up dust and crumbs. The TrueMapping navigation ensures that the robot does not forget any areas. It even works with millimeter precision in poorly lit rooms. It is therefore particularly suitable for homes without much daylight.
Another highlight for households with pets is the ZeroTangle brush technology. While many robots are struggling with animal hair, nothing gets stuck here – saving time and nerves.
The little household helper is also surprisingly quiet in operation. While it is on the move, it works like this silencedthat you hardly notice it. Even the automatic emptying of the station remains pleasantly quiet at 70 dB.
This is how well the DEEBOT mini works as a mop replacement
In mop mode, the DEEBOT mini as well. Thanks to the OZMO turbo wiping technologywhich uses rotating high-pressure wipers, the floors were not only clean, but also shiny. What we particularly like about mopping: as soon as the mopping mode is activated, it automatically avoids carpets so as not to get them wet.
However, you can also set a Carpet crossing mode can be set. In this mode, the robot can cross carpets with attached wiping cloths – but only to get to another room. Especially if you have different floor coverings in your home – such as tiles in the kitchen and a carpet in the living room – this is a huge advantage.
The OMNI station dries the mops automatically at 45 °C after cleaning. This prevents bad odors and ensures that no bacteria develop. This is also a convincing feature, especially in small apartments where odors are more noticeable.
Simple control via smartphone
You can control the DEEBOT mini easily via the ECOVACS app. Using your smartphone – or your Apple Watch if you prefer – you can start and pause the robot and track the cleaning process. A little gimmick that we really liked here: In the app, you can add virtual walls to your home so that the robot leaves out certain areas.
Good value for money
The DEEBOT mini will be available from July 1 at a price of 499 euros 🛒. Three stylish colors ensure that the robot fits perfectly into your home: DEEBOT mini blue (available immediately), DEEBOT mini violet (as of July 24) and DEEBOT mini green (as of August 16).
Conclusion: The perfect helper for small apartments
The DEEBOT mini convinces. With its powerful cleaning performance, compact design and smart functions, it is ideal for small apartments. Whether it’s crumbs in the corner or a dirty floor – the small robot can handle everything with ease. If you are looking for a stylish, quiet and above all compact household helper for little money, the DEEBOT mini is sure to be the right choice.
