Great review. Looking for a vacuum that's almost 0 maintenance and has obstacle avoidance so it doesn't get stuck on random things on the floor when I'm away. I have experience with Ecovacs and the mapping can be a pain, so I probably will pick another brand this time.
Probably not, to be honest. I'd choose an N10 at a great price over the full price N20. The N20 has better suction, and probably a bit better battery life, but the mapping is effectively the same, so go for price! (Mopping is also slightly better, but still not great, so not much of a differentiator).
@@bttrreviews Thanks alot. So in terms of cleaning and vacuuming they both are comparable right ? And there is nothing major i will miss out on with N10?
@@t0am1tvats So, excluding the towers, the biggest difference between the N10 and the N20 is maximum suction. N20 is 8000Pa, N10 is 4300Pa. But it typically doesn't go to max suction unless you tell it to. The N20 also has the anti-tangle main brush, though it still tangled in my testing. Capacity on the N20 robot is 200ml vs the N10's 420ml, so slightly smaller, though irrelevant if using an auto-empty station. Otherwise, the vacuums are remarkably similar. They are both entry-level products and can't do things as well as the T-series or X-series, which both have far superior obstacle avoidance for example. But ultimately, between the N10 and N20, I don't think you'd miss anything by saving a chunk of change on a discounted N10. Hope that helps! Let me know how you get on! Also FYI: If you want to read my review of the N10 Plus, it's here: www.bttr.reviews/ecovacs-deebot-n10-plus-review/ (before I started doing video)
From what I can tell, the N20 Pro uses Laser Radar rather than LiDAR technology. This guide breaks down the differences quite well I think: lidarnews.com/articles/whats-the-difference-between-laser-radar-and-lidar-technology/ Hope that helps!
Oh wow, I forgot to discuss mopping here, didn't I? I used the mopping feature once, and wasn't impressed, so didn't really use it again. The first challenge I have is that the mopping unit is a separate attachment. You need to remove the back of the vacuum to insert the mop unit (pre-filled with water) to make it work. That's too much effort for me for a tool that you want to automate your cleaning routine. The second issue is that these types of mops in particular do little more than smear dirty water behind the vacuum as it works around the home. This one has a vibrating function that does help to scrub the floors more than the last generation, but it's still not a great performance. If mopping is an important feature for you, I think you need to shift up to the mid-tier at least, with the circular mopping pads that can do a better job of scrubbing, and auto-empty stations that will wash those mop pads for you. Thanks for the feedback! I hope this helps :)
@@bttrreviews thanks for the answer! I have dogs and I was looking to a vacuum that have a large internal bin to avoid to clog it in minutes 🤣🤣. When you use the mop feature the unit can still vacuum or it's like the model shark ai360?
It really depends how high the bumps are. The bump from my hallway to my bathroom is about 15mm and it got over that without any issues. Hope that helps!
An OVERLOOKED aspect in reviews is WHEEL TRACTION . Especially with the Downward Pressure Applied? ) How is it at different levels of mopping (especially on average glossy Tiles) after a week or two ? )Does it take the same duration or more as wheels start to slip and become less efficient? ) Is there any difference when compared to the trajectory of only vaccuming in the uploaded map? Did you face similar issues on your previous robots? Know any easy fix? TYVM
Not sure - the y1 Pro isn’t available in Australia so I can’t really comment on that one. The n20 is better than the n10, but not by a huge amount. So if you can find the n10 cheap, I’d lean that way.

Thanks for review. I’m thinking to get the black version but it doesn’t have the Pro on it. Not sure if they are much different?
Great review. Is that real hardwood flooring you have or vinyl pvc?
It's vinyl ;) Much, much, much cheaper 🤣
Great review. Is it a worthy upgrade over n10? I am getting n10 at a great price.

Please Reply ,
Does ecovacs n20 pro comes with Lidar technology?
like ecovacs y1 pro
because its not mentioned on the website

@@bttrreviews Which affordable robot do u recommend then?
hey nick ! i have a hallway with 2 bumps on each side, do you think it will go over it

I don't see the white version of N20 Plus for the US?
I’m in Australia! Not sure what’s on offer in the US, sorry.
nice review ❤
Thanks!
Does it dry the floor as well ?
No. If you use the mop, it just wipes a damp cloth over the top with a bit of vibration to simulate scrubbing. But it dries pretty quickly.

Thanks for the review can u suggest which should I buy y1 pro, n10 or n20

this or roborock q8 or s8
