DEEBOT N78D, we have tested this Ecovacs robot vacuum cleaner
DEEBOT N78D is the latest robot vacuum cleaner from Ecovacs. A product especially suitable for those who love pets due to its special cleaning system with great suction power. This new model of the DEEBOT range allows the Thorough cleaning with various modes of operation and optional scrubbing with built-in water tank. There is no lack of a timer, anti-fall and anti-collision sensors, long brushes and a remote control.
Design and materials
DEEBOT N78D does not ‘come out of the pot’, opting for the usual circular design like the iLife A4S. It is made of black plastic with a gloss finish. It is not one of the lightest robot vacuum cleaners as its weight is 4.4 Kg with measurements of 35.3 x 35.3 x 8.3 cm. With these dimensions the robot will go under furniture with at least 9 cm of space.
At the top we have the main panel of the Ecovacs robot vacuum cleaner. Here we see the auto mode button cleaning. The rest of the elements are LEDs that indicate the selected mode: corner cleaning, localized, intelligent programming and alarm indicator. We also find the access cover to the cleaning deposit. This container is made up of a handle, a sponge filter and a high-efficiency filter next to the filter mesh.
At the bottom we have the cleaning system composed of two front brushes to get to the corners and the entrance to the warehouse. The robot works on different surfaces thanks to the rubber wheels and a central steering wheel. Next to this wheel we see the small anti-fall sensor, detecting a height difference greater than 2 cm. Unlike other models on the market, Ecovacs DEEBOT N78D is not designed for thick, long-pile carpets or carpets with filaments that can get tangled in the front brushes.
Inside the box we find the Ecovacs DEEBOT N78D robot, the charging station, a remote control, a total of 4 side brushes, 2 reusable cleaning cloths, water tank, measuring cup and an additional filter. The complete manual in Spanish includes all the recommendations and functions of the Ecovacs robot vacuum cleaner.

Operation and performance of the Ecovacs DEEBOT N78D
This robot vacuum cleaner has features on par with more expensive brands. The final price is decisive in the purchase of these devices and Ecovacs is well aware of it. The vacuum cleaner has different cleaning modes depending on the level of dirt, something that we will see later. It also includes a handy smart time programmer to clean once a day, at the selected time. After cleaning the house or if it runs out of charge, it automatically returns to the charging station. A feature that will clean your floors before you get home.
Another advantage of the DEEBOT N78D robot is the scrubbing system. We have a washable and reusable microfiber cleaning cloth along with a water tank. This accessory is easily attached to the bottom of the robot. Therefore DEEBOT N78D sweeps, vacuums and scrubs the surface; daily maintenance totally unattended cleaning. The scrubbing results are acceptable considering the type of product that it is and that does not allow the use of cleaning fluids.
This model is specially indicated for owners of dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The union of the front brushes and the powerful suction motor will leave the surfaces free of pet hair. In this way the usual central brush is eliminated, since it used to clog the system. Although a server does not have a furry pet, I have achieved a good result with tangle-free hair.
Analysis of cleaning modes
Automatic cleaning mode (Auto)
DEEBOT N78D has multiple cleaning modes to suit the level of soil and achieve greater efficiency, energy and time, in one surface up to 125 mtwo. Automatic cleaning mode is the most common mode, with a straight line path with a change when an obstacle is encountered. Unfortunately, the Ecovacs robot does not have an intelligent home mapping, being the only negative point of the device and that if it incorporates the LG VR8602RR.
Corner cleaning mode (Edge)
Corners and baseboards are common lint and dust habitat. This mode cycles through corners and walls of the house using the front sensors of the vacuum cleaner. In our analysis period, on most occasions it has been able to reach the corners by the length of the brushes.
Spot cleaning mode
This cleaning mode is used in cases where the dirt is highly concentrated in a concrete area. For example, if a packet of flour has fallen on the ground, place the vacuum cleaner in the center and select the spot mode. DEEBOT N78D will begin cleaning the area in a spiral pattern with a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters. This mode has a duration that varies between 2 and 5 minutes.
Return motorbike to the charging base
When the battery level is low, DEEBOT N78D automatically returns to the charging station for charging. recharging the battery. It also returns to the base when any of the cleaning modes described above have been completed, so it is ready for a new session. On the control knob we also have an automatic return button. The approximate charging time is 4 hours with an approximate autonomy of 2 hours.
