Ecovacs Deebot 601

This Ecovacs Deebot 601 review is all about a budget-priced robotic vacuum cleaner that comes with a great number of useful features and functions. For instance, it has an auto-return function, so it automatically comes back to the charging dock when the cleaning is completed.

Dimensions

The cleaner measures 13.9 x 13.9 x 3.3 inches. Thus, being only 3 inches thick, it easily cleans dirt from under the furniture and other hard-to-reach spaces. It weighs less than 10 pounds which ensures portability. It’s also equipped with a medium-sized 450 ml dustbin.

Features

The Ecovacs Deebot 601 robotic vacuum cleaner uses a 3-step cleaning (sweeps, lifts, and vacuums). It’s equipped with a V-shaped main brush and two edge brushes that stick out from underneath the cleaner like horns. This cleaner can work on both hard floors and carpets. It’s also intended to help the user get rid of pet hair. The unit has a special Max mode that increases the suction power up to 800 PA for especially problematic areas.

The Ecovacs Deebot 601 utilizes a back-and-forth cleaning path which is more efficient than the S-shaped cleaning path. This way, it covers an area of 1200 square feet without leaving untouched spots. Along with an advanced cleaning technology, it provides truly thorough cleaning. With 65 dB of noise level, the Ecovacs Deebot 601 is almost whisper-quiet.

This model is equipped with a 2600 mAH battery which allows the unit to work for about 110 minutes on one charge (less if you use the Max mode). However, it has too long charging time of around 4 hours.

The vacuum cleaner has special anti-collision sensors that prevent it from bumping into surrounding objects. The anti-drop sensors are present as well. There are also rubber protective bumpers to prevent damage to the device.

The cleaner is equipped with an air filtration which helps get rid of dangerous allergens.

There are two ways to control the Deebot 601. The first one is voice control which can be carried out with the help of Alexa or Google Assistant (if you have a corresponding device). The second one is using a special Ecovacs app. It allows running the cleaning process, setting the schedule, checking the cleaning status, and receiving alerts from the cleaner. This app also has a few pleasant bonuses. For example, it informs you when it’s a high time to change the brushes.

You also can use a bundled remote control, but it has only 4 buttons and doesn’t allow for full control.

Design

The cleaner has a standard disc-shaped design. It’s made of solid black plastic with a glossy finish on top.

The unit’s top panel has a universal Power button (which also allows switching between Auto and Programmed cleaning modes). There are also two LED indicators (Wi-Fi and Cleaning mode). The on/off switch is located on the side of the cleaner.

Flip the cleaner upside down and you will see dual-edge cleaning brushes, a stair safety sensor, and a transparent dustbin.

Conclusion

This cleaner from Ecovacs is universal for both hard floors and carpets and has a fairly good suction power. Besides, a special Max mode allows cleaning areas with a concentrated amount of dirt which is a rare feature for budget models. Being compliant with Alexa and Google Assistant, the Deebot 601 can become a solid addition to your smart home system.

Obviously, this model is not robust enough for heavy usage. However, it can be recommended to those who are searching for a cheap, carpet- and pet-friendly robotic vacuum cleaner.
