The T series is more advanced than the N series, yet it is not as good as the premium X models.
The biggest difference between the two is the mopping system
The T80 OMNI has Ecovac's newest technology with two onboard tanks and a wide roller that continuously stays clean as the robot mops. For now, it is the most efficient and performs the best with stains compared to other systems.
The T30C has its double rotating roller system with no onboard dirty water tank, and the base does not adjust washing temperature based on the room.
The newest Mid-Class T30C
Key features:
- Double rotating pads
- Hot water washing & self-cleaning
- Zero-Tangle
- Edge mopping
- Adds the solution automatically
- Stronger suction
The T30C is the newest model with an advanced station (close to the premium X lineup), which has it all, only does not fill the tank with hot water.
The older-style mopping system is not as advanced, which makes the robot the best pick for those who don't have a large hard floor area.
When mopping, the robot extends a pad along the walls and into corners.
Unlike the T80 OMNI, the T30C lacks some extras; however, it comes with a premium self-cleaning station.
ECOVACS DEEBOT T80 OMNI
Upgrades over the T30C:
- OZMO mopping system
- 2 onboard water tanks
- RoomBase heat control mop wash
- Hot water tank refill
- AI navigation
- Shorter
- Dirt Detection
ECOVACS DEEBOT T80 Omni
Has a short body
This robot has a different mopping system that includes an OZMO roller that is tangle-free and gets cleaned during mopping, thanks to two onboard water tanks.
The OZMO mopping system consistently outperforms other technologies
Unlike the T30C, which has an advanced station, the T80 OMNI's station fills the tank with hot water, adjusts washing temperature depending on the room, and has Dirt Detection.
The robot lacks Blast tech and Solution autofill.
It has a smoother navigation thanks to the premium AIVI 3D 3.0 technology.
An alternative to the premium X9 Pro
Because the robot does not have an LDS tower, it is shorter and fits under most furniture.
Which one to buy?
The DEEBOT T80 Omni is obviously better with advanced navigation and the newest mopping system. Ideal for homes with a large hard floor area. Compared to the premium X9 Pro, it lacks some features but also has a reduced price.
The DEEBOT T30C is a cheaper alternative with stronger suction but older mopping technology. Suitable for homes with carpets and some hard floor areas, also is not the best for cluttered homes.
If you need the best mopping system, get the T80 OMNI.
