You are welcome, haven’t heard anything about what markets the T8 will be in. I know China has the largest range of models and some users got the T8 Pro a few months. If you search Alibaba.com you may be able to find the T8 and T8 Pro with the self emptying bin and vibrating mopping module.

I'm in the UK too. There's an Ecovacs fan club group on Facebook (search for "Ecovacs Fan club" on Facebook). You have to be approved to join but if you don't want to then on 20th July someone in the group asked about US availability for self-empty bin and vibro-mop and an Ecovacs official account replied 1 week ago - "Hi, it will go to global market soon, stay tuned". My hope is that the sometime-in-August date that Nathan heard for the USA might be the global date including UK/Europe or, if not, then we (in the UK) won't be too far behind. I don't think it's worth me posting a link to the Facebook post because it won't work to a private group but if you do join that group then just search the group for "stay tuned" which I think only returned 2 hits one being the official Ecovacs reply mentioned above (but I copied the whole reply above anyway). Hope that helps.

@@julianfp1952 Good evening Julian! Thanks for the info, really appreciated! I've asked to join the fan club. I've noticed today, that it's now for sale on Amazon UK, with OZMO Pro mop for £791.01. Unfortunately, it's not from Ecovacs. I think I'll wait until Ecovacs give it full UK support before taking the plunge. Plus, I would want the Auto-Empty station.

@@RobotMasters Thanks, Nathan, keep up the great work.

Antony Jenkins Hi Antony. Thanks for Amazon UK info but I agree with you, I also prefer to wait for official Ecovacs U.K. availability. My other requirement is that I want to see replacement dust bags listed somewhere as an accessory available for purchase - not much point in having an auto-empty dock if, once the two (or whatever) dust bags that come with the unit are used I/we can’t get replacements.

Thanks 😇😇😇

No problem, if you have any questions you know where to find me!!!

Thanks😅 $700 for a T8+ not bad 😁

@@RobotMasters No, no, thank YOU!

?

Yes I am working on doing a mopping challenge 😂

@@RobotMasters You're the best! 😊😊😊👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Glad it been working out with you. The T8 is still pretty new to the market so I am giving Ecovacs the benefit of the doubt they can improve the navigation and docking abilities of the robot. Thanks for Watching!!!

Nice has the new wheels improved the performance!!!

Thanks buddy, got a few videos coming this week, been kinda busy on the KZfaq thing hahaha

@@RobotMasters 😆😆😆 you always deliver awesome videos👏👏👏 roborock s6 max v is here in Greece for 750 euros and i7 plus now for 950 euros s9 is 1550 euros😮

@@RobotMasters one question s9 or t8?

Hmmmm T8 for the Lidar navigation and s9 for the better dirt pickup abilities 😂. Basically get both 😅😂🤣

@@RobotMasters no s9 again thanks🤣🤣🤣 ill stick with mi robot the lidar dinosaur 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣or the grandfather 👴 of lidar robots,🤣

Sure no problem, the T8 self emptying bin and vibrating mopping accessories should be available late August according to Ecovacs. But I will announce it when I see it available.

Thanks buddy 🤣🙃

@@RobotMasters I finally got my hand on a Proscenic m7 Pro with self empty base, I am exited to try it out!!

@@michaeltechreviews5390 Cool are you going to post it on your channel? I saw you have the Golongele on there.

@@RobotMasters yes

Hmmmm the Dyson V11???

Robot Masters yeah that thing is a beast, and it’s not made in China. They made the battery removable with click button that’s Awsome. What’s going on with iRobot are they going to start looking at what the competitors doing? Stereoscopic dual cammeras, lidar and AI. Looks like they dropping the ball technologically. I would like to see an IRobot with lidar tech in it.

So that Grey robot is a model of the Kobra 710 bomb disposal robot. It a toy version made by New Bright

Thanks for watching 🤗

@@RobotMasters 🤠🤠

And if ever come to CRETE me and my husband geokokos we are happy to be our guest ✌️

LoL hahaha yeah if I get kicked out because all the messes I make sure I will head up your way, with my Robots hahaha 😂

@@RobotMasters 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dont worry the house is everyday a mess i have one husband and two dogs🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you are on a schedule mode you can temporary pause the robot prevent the robot from going out by enable silent mode. Or it might be called do not disturb mode if I recall. The T8 only self empty when the cleaning job done or of the user manually tells to empty in the app. There no bin full sensor.

From my testing the T8 self emptying bin capable of sucking up hair. Sometimes it may not empty completely

Yes, almost all robot vacuum have cliff sensors to avoid ledges and stairs.

Yes the all the T8 models support the self emptying bin and the power jack for vibrating mopping module. The + or Pro means the accessories are included in the box. Someone told me the overseas version may have slightly better specs aka bigger battery. Have not confirmed that personally.

@@RobotMasters what's the difference, if any, between the dustbin in +/pro model and non-pro model? I think something to do with openings in it. Can u please check and get back?

Well if you not going to use the T8 camera system, than the T8+ a better option. It can navigate as well as the T8 with the camera. Everything else is identical between the two models.

Awesome! And is it true the T8+ actually has a better obstacle avoidance system as compared to the T8 AIVI even though it has no camera? Or is the AIVI better?

@@zaayernasib Hard to tell, I think they are about the same, Ecovacs representative says over time the AIVI is could be better via better objective recognition.

The side brushes are flexible and can bend. The bristles usually need replacing after 3-5 months of use depending how frequently you use the robot. Most App controlled ones can keep track when theu need replacement.

Thanks Jamie, as always love your support and comments. Can't wait to see your next Robot Vacuum video, always very informative 🤣. I been trying different styles to see what people like. Sometimes it a hit or miss, but I am enjoying it. Take Care and tell your Cats 🐈 I said HI 👋

Same with you about the plastic container, would be much more convenient to use. Also surprised they came up with a good self-emptying system, was afraid it would be as the one used in the Proscenic M7 Pro. Nate, congrats on 1 million views!

@@SmartRobotReviews 🥰🥰🥰, thanks Natalie!!! Yeah there a few plastic container self emptying bin like the Shark IQ, older Deebot models the R98 and D77. The only downside is these systems require air filters. The Shark IQ, there 3 disposable air filters that require replacement every 6 - 12 months depending on use. Most of these self emptying bins work well extracting the dirt minus the one you mentioned. Roomba i7+ and s9+ take it a step further by adding the dirt detection sensor and dust bin full sensor to allow the robot to empty itself mid way through the cleaning job. Makes it possible fir the robot to handle crazy amounts of dirt like my 25 lbs rice challenge 😇. Anyways thanks for the support!!!

@@RobotMasters Without the full dust bin indicator the self-emptying system makes less sense :) Hope the next models include something like this

It actually quieter than the Roborock

Yes the two plastic parts are removable and works with the self emptying bin and vibrating mopping module.

Yeah if the robots could go half the speed or allow the user to control the speed of the robot. I had an older robot vacuum from pureclean that had a button that switched the robot from fast to very slow speed.

Robot Masters I like the t8 but my biggest two complaints are the brushroll is too soft and doesn’t groom carpet as well and the speed. That might be the reasons for me to return it. I love everything else about it though. Mine doesn’t have the vibrating moping pad however. I wish I had that but I love the self empty bin and it does seem to work well.

@WhutI recommend the Roomba 960,I7,S9 with Braava Jet M6, If you don't want too spend as much,then I would go with the Roborock S5 Max,or the S6 Maxv

Thanks for sharing your experience, have you looked into a different model like the Roborock or the Roomba that have self emptying capabilities?

@@RobotMasters I have a couple of Roborock S6 MaxVs on order, so I'm hoping that their software is a lot better. Like I said, I really really wanted to like the T8. I did write a review of my issues here (if you are interested to see my take)- www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R5LSVP3ICXUOC/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B086214HTZ

WoW very well thought out review. I can relate to some of the issues, like the robot not finding its charging station. I had issues adding the self emptying bin charging station location after swapping out the old charger. The Roborock S6 MaxV has the better navigation and the App integration seems to be better. Let me know how you like it after using them for a bit. Always open to feedback and I can forward the information to the robot companies.

@@RobotMasters didn't have so much problems here. Only when i do a work with door closed it can't find way to the room next if i run a zone mode to it because think there's no way. So i send it with surveillance mode in the room and run it from here. Best think to know, never move it when it's not off. And you need to fully respect the distance of the base. 50 cm side and 1.5 front if i remember well 😁

Eric LARGIER Yeah I do have a lot obstacles to test the robot’s navigation abilities. The T8 does better when the charger in a more open area.

Yes or the T8 does well!!!

Yeah it helps, especially on slick floors.

@Ritesh Kohli Are your T8's wheel grey or black? I believe the updated version chnaged to black, more rugged and rougher compared to early version of T8 which has the same grey wheels as 950.

@@jonnylee8538 That what I heard, the wheels have been changed to improve the traction on the robot.

@@jonnylee8538 they are black. I find that if I clean the wheels every once in a awhile with a micro fiber cloth they have enough grip to get on the charging dock.

Yes, and thicker wire, like power strips

Shhhhh 🤫 I saw nothing, I with neither Acknowledge or Deny that I may or may have not left the Robot’s LID Open 😦

@@RobotMasters got link r9ce chal 5:33

The S9 does a better job at deep cleaning high profile carpet because the extractor bar sits lower than on the T8. You can always run these robots multiple times to achieve desired cleaning results.

Interesting didn't realize you could do that with the t8 as well.

@@RobotMasters me neither... I don't know how I did it... but I would like to know :-) I already try to disable "aivi" but it didn't work, tried to pause a routine cleaning and then try to open live video... but it didn't work too :-(

No only compatible with the T8

No only the AIVI have that feature

@@RobotMasters thank you for your quick response. Should I wait or buy the AIVI version? Which one would you recommend ? You just got a +1 sub! 😌

@@Bardockvision It really depends if you value having the live video streaming capabilities than wait for the AIVI. If not get the T8+ to save a little money

Hello welcome!!! It nice to meet you, so for the best hybrid Vacuuming and Mopping the Roborock S5 Max is my ideal choice amzn.to/3hIBsb8 for the cleaning performance, navigation, ease of App integration and price it hard to beat. The second option is the Ozmo 950 amzn.to/3hR6Hkl a little more expensive but has longer battery life and higher airflow. The 950 has a active carpet avoidance sensor that when mopping will avoid carpets. The S5 Max you have to setup no mopping zones within the App. Both robots do well picking up Pet hair. Congratulations on the New home and take care. Feel free to ask any other questions, here to help 😊

Robot Masters thank you and thank you for the quick response . furthermore , I plan on buying two . I have a two story home and need one for my second level that’s all carpet . what do you recommend for carpet only and good at picking up animal hair ?

Ebony Bipolar The Roomba S9 or the Shark IQ offer the best pet hair pickup on carpet.

Robot Masters thank you ! you saved me the headache . i’ll trust your word and pray you aren’t being paid to tell people stories so we can buy their product

@Ebony Bipolar Dang you got me 😒. All my test and evaluations is independent from any company or product I receive in exchange for a review. My testing aren't super scientific like on other channels but I try to represent a real world testing in an actual home and family. Sometimes I show over the top tests for stress test purposes. The purposes of my channel is to help educate on consumer based robots. This could be robot vacuums, window cleaners etc etc. With that being said not every robot vacuum will be ideal for every floor plan type so I can only offer suggestions and give test results. Thanks for watching my channel and take care!!! If you have any additional questions feel free to ask!!!

It doesn't have those sensors. The robot will empty itself after a cleaning run, despite the dust bin being full or not

Robot Masters Robot Masters so it Will keep cleaning even if the non is full and cant suck up any more dirr? Seems like a stupid chiose not to include That 😂 is There anything else thats important before You consider bying this? And Also whats the diffrence between the t8 aviv and the one with the 3d sensor? I dont understand 😊

@@paulkhajo91 Yes the robot will continue to clean. Usually the dust bin doesn't fill up after weekly use of the robot since it keeping the dirt down constantly. The T8 AIVI has a front facing camera, used for object recognition and as a surveillance camera too. The T8 3D doesn't have a camera, the 3D system does a little better at recognizing smaller stuff. No surveillance mode. Lastly it cheaper than the T8 AIVI

Robot Masters okay thaiköket you very much:) one more thing, is it a hepa filter on the t8 and is it a hepa filter on the clean base like the roomba?😊

@@paulkhajo91 Not sure on that one sorry.

Yes what ur question 🤔

@@RobotMasters where the narwhall will released at Amazon

LoL I been asking that very question since the Kickstarter. Apparently you can’t get one, who know when it will become available because O would get one in a heart beat 😅

Thanks bro✌️✌️✌️✌️

There no difference in the models if it says T8 White or Black. Now there a T8 Pro which means either the self emptying bin or the vibrating mopping module included in the box, but everything else is the same. Lastly Ecovacs released a T8+ which means this model doesn't have the front facing camera but a more robust true depth sensor for object recognition. I suspect both models would navigate the same.

Robot Masters Thank you so much for your reply, it would be great if you could make a video comparing the T8+ to the T8 AIVI and figure out what is actually more useful, the AIVI camera system or the True3D Detection system.

If I can get my hands on the T8+ I will evaluate the true depth sensor and see if the navigation any difference than the regular version.

You can, from my experience the Bag degrades overtime and may release some dust into the air.

@@RobotMasters But it would technically still be usable for multiple empties right?, and if you don't use the bag, will the self-empty station function like a regular dust bin and we can just lift the entire station and empty the dust from it into a trash bin? (Sorry i'm just looking for ways to get out of having to buy their specific bags for this thing as otherwise this vacuum seems so perfect, I appreciate the response tho)

@@ravindrasankarlall4555 No unfortunately there a sensor that detects if the bags in, also the bag aids in the vacuuming process. Lastly the dust and debris may get past the filter which the dirt could permanently damage the motor.

The roomba does a short back and forth pattern when detecting dirt. It would be nice to set the speed of the robot.

The robot will continue to clean, eventually the debris may end up end the extractor bar area and shut the robot down. There sensors that prevent the robot from damaging the motors.

@@RobotMasters hmmm, do you think the t8+ is better for the price at $450 compared to the i3+ at $400. Seems like the t8+ is better in my opinion with its features

*irobot's i3+

@@deadly1246 Feature wise yes, has the smart mapping, Lidar Navigation and if this the AIVI version front facing camera. The i3 has a good self emptying system, tried and true cleaning system found on the Roomba i7. It really depends on the features you are looking for.

@@RobotMasters i just got the regular t8+ not the aivi but it has smart mapping and mopping which the irobot i3 doesn't have so I feel like it was definitely worth it. Too bad it won't have a camera but im not missing out on too much. Thanks for the help!
