These days, if there’s a chore you hate doing, there will be a hack or gadget to make it easier. Vacuuming is no exception
While there’s no shortage of excellent vacuums on the market to clean your floor, robot vacuums are becoming a top choice of gadget to make life easier.
Ecovacs Deebot N10 Plus review
If you haven’t crossed into robot vacuum territory, you’re probably wondering if they make life easier.
I recently tested Ecovacs’ new Deebot N10 Plus. I have to say my house feels much cleaner, and all I’ve done is push a button.

What I loved:
- It’s a 2-in-1! I rarely mop my floors. This chore usually sits in the too-hard basket, but now I can mop my floors daily. Well, my Deebot is. It also can sense where the carpet begins, to ensure it’s only mopping the hard surfaces. It’s very clever like that.
- It does a top job at vacuuming. OK, so I know it’s a vacuum, and its one job is to, well, vacuum, but I was surprised at how much it can suck up. I know this because I intercepted it before it returned to its home to auto-empty, and there was a lot of dust and dirt in there. I was mortified but also so pleased.
- You can still use it without Wi-Fi. If you don’t want to connect the Deebot N10 Plus to your Wi-Fi network, don’t. This robot vacuum still does an excellent job without it.
- This little bot can vacuum where traditional vacuums may find it hard to go. One afternoon, I checked on my new little friend and found it vacuuming under my bed.
- The little brushes are genius. As the vacuum goes about its business, the brushes spin around, moving dirt and dust out from hard-to-reach corners and into the vacuum’s path.
- I have a small step from the living room to the kitchen and another one near the front door, which The Deebot N10 Plus easily moves up and down.
- I can vacuum every day. Most people could probably get away with vacuuming once or twice a week unless you have kids or pets. I have both and our floor gets pretty dirty. Now my robot vacuum does a little vacuum around most days to help keep on top of the pet hair and food crumbs.
What I didn’t love:
- While the 2.5-litre disposable dust bag holds months of dust, I don’t like that I have to buy replacement bags.
- It’s not a con, but you have to make sure nothing is lying around that your robot vacuum can suck up. I had a reusable make-up wipe on the ground, which got stuck inside it. Blankets left dangling off the lounge sometimes get sucked up too. So you have to keep an eye on it. But you have to do the same with any vacuum.

In summary…
The Ecovacs Deebot N10 Plus robot vacuum has been a game-changer in my household. It easily navigates its way around my home, seeking out and cleaning dirt and dust from my carpet.
Its ability to mop hard surfaces and avoid carpets makes it a versatile cleaning tool. The robot vacuum also connects to the Ecovacs Home app but can be used without Wi-Fi connectivity. Although the dust bag needs to be replaced, the vacuum’s ability to clean under furniture, like beds, and move up and down small steps makes it a valuable investment.
Where to buy the Ecovacs Deebot N10 Plus
