The ECOVACS Deebot T8 AIVI is a robot vacuum and mop hybrid combining simultaneous vacuuming and mopping in a single pass. It features AIVI AI object recognition (identifies obstacles 200% faster than prior models), precision laser mapping (LiDAR + dTOF sensors) covering 3,200 sq ft, and a 240ml water tank with 4-level water control for customizable mopping. The 5200 mAh battery delivers 3+ hours of runtime on standard suction. The integrated OZMO mopping system handles both vacuuming and wet cleaning without requiring dock attachment swaps.

Key strengths: Multi-room mapping, AI-powered obstacle avoidance, live HD video feed via app for remote monitoring and voice control, granular custom cleaning (room labeling, no-go zones, per-room power levels). Expandable: upgradeable to OZMO Pro (oscillating scrub mop) and optional 2.5L auto-empty dock (sold separately). Runtime is industry-competitive; mopping coverage exceeds 2,000 sq ft per tank.

Ideal for homes with mixed hard floors and carpet seeking hands-on control without a self-empty dock investment. Community feedback praises mapping accuracy and mop integration; some users report occasional app glitches and note the vacuum requires manual bin emptying (dock is optional).
