How to choose Ecovacs T9 and N9+? Which one is better?

At the beginning of 2021, Ecovacs released two new robot vacuums: T9 and N9+. These two models were immediately recognized by the market as soon as they were launched, breaking sales records in a very short period of time. Indeed , this two models look similar, but still different. The T9's sweeping ability is much stronger, and the N9+'s mopping ability is much stronger. If you are hesitating between this two vacuum cleaning robots, after reading this article, I believe you will have the answer.

From a practical point of view, the main differences between the two are as follows:

Next, let`s talk about the specific impact of these main differences on actual usage:

1. Navigation

The T9 uses laser navigation, while the N9 uses visual navigation. The obvious shortcoming of visual navigation is that the accuracy is relatively low, so it is much slower to recognize the environment, and there may be errors. It may be relatively more likely to occur in daily use. possibility of collision.

2. Floor mopping

The strong vibration wipe used by the T9 is the same as the strong vibration wipe of the flagship T8, but it has been upgraded. Compared with other sweeping robots, the strong vibration wipe effect is still good, and the stains formed in a short period of time are also Can be wiped clean.

N9+ uses high-speed rotating mopping, thick mop, and self-cleaning (this will be discussed later), the mopping effect can be said to be close to manual mopping, even better than the cleaning effect of a sloppy person like me. few.

3. Obstacle avoidance

Obstacle avoidance is the leading technology of Ecovacs. The previous generation flagship T8 was far ahead in sales because of its excellent obstacle avoidance ability. T9 has been further upgraded on the basis of T8. It can be said that among the current market sweeping robots, the obstacle avoidance ability cannot beat T9.

The obstacle avoidance ability of the N9+ is 0.

4. Self-cleaning

T9 does not have a self-cleaning function, using a disposable mop, once every day is just enough.

The N9+ has the self-cleaning function of the mop. During the mopping process, the N9+ will return to the base for cleaning. After cleaning, it can continue to come out and then mop. The mopping effect is much better, and there is no need to clean the mop by yourself, completely freeing your hands.

5. Automatic dust collection

T9 itself does not have an automatic dust collection function, but you can choose T9+, so that you can automatically collect dust, you only need to clean the dust bag once a month, and you don`t need to deal with the dust box every time you clean it, which is a must for lazy people.

N9+ does not support automatic integration due to the limitation of the water tank base.

6. Fragrance system

T9 supports placing sachets in components, which is a unique function of all current sweeping robots. It supports fixed-point/whole house scattering, and has a good effect of cleaning peculiar smells/musty smells, and it can make the whole house fragrant, which is a very good experience.

Pity , N9+ does not support that.

So to sum up a few differences, my buying advice is:

There are pets, children, and the home environment is more complicated to choose T9. After all, the obstacle avoidance ability is there, and all kinds of small items can be easily dealt with, bypassed, and the mopping function is not bad, and there is no problem in daily life. Friends who use fragrance daily also recommend T9, and the effect is still good.

The home is relatively open and bright, and there are few small objects on the ground. Choose N9+. After all, it is self-cleaning, and it is still very fragrant without getting dirty hands at all.
