The Deebot N8 Pro+ has obtained a rating of 98 points out of 100. It is a new generation robot vacuum cleaner, designed in a beautiful pearl white color (there is also a space gray version, in dark tones) and with the usual construction quality of the brand.
It has a high suction power, smart navigation, management via app and voice commands, and the inclusion of the automatic emptying station In this plus version it makes day-to-day maintenance even easier, providing maximum comfort.
Box contents
As in other models of the company (and as other brands also do, such as Roomba), This model with the + includes an automatic emptying base, but there is also a "plain" Deebot N8 Pro, which does not have it.
The robot is the same, so the analysis refers to the most complete version, with the self-emptying station, but can be applied to N8 Pro model.
The price difference between both devices is around 200 euros; The base can also be purchased separately, but it costs about 300 euros, so If this plugin is interesting to you, it is better to opt directly for the + option.
Start up
As usual, the robot comes partially loaded, but It is advisable to fully charge it before using it for the first time.. The time for a full charge is 4 hours, and its 3.200 mAh lithium-ion battery provides an autonomy of up to 110 minutes, enough to clean a medium-sized floor.
Like other high-end robot vacuum cleaners, has loading and continuation, so if it doesn't finish, it returns to the base and, once charged, resumes cleaning to finish it.
It is advisable to place the charging base in a clear place, in which the robot has room to maneuver; As a guide, there should be 0,5 meters to the sides and 1,5 meters forward, although thanks to its advanced navigation system, this is not strictly necessary.
Before charging, we will have to turn it on, using the orange tab that can be found inside (lifting the lid).
The Deebot N8 Pro+ can be started using the button on its top. It can also be controlled by voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home) and through a mobile app, The application being the best method to take full advantage of its advanced functions.
Installation and configuration of the app
The application is the well-known Ecovacs Home, and is available for iOS and Android. To install it, we can locate it in the application store or scan the QR code that comes in the instructions.
The app itself will guide us through the installation and configuration process, in a simple and intuitive way; When entering, we have to click Add a robot and then simply follow the steps.
To promote connectivity when carrying out this first connection and configuration process, It is recommended that both the robot and the mobile phone be located near the router.
The use of the app allows us control the robot whenever we want and wherever we are: from work, on the street, in a cafe, etc., providing great comfort and versatility (of course, we can also program it so that it works on the days and at the times we want).
The use of some advanced functions requires having a floor plan of the house, so once the Deebot N8 Pro+ is configured in the app, we will proceed to map the house.
Setting virtual boundaries
For that, the robot starts in automatic mode (by clicking the button at the top or the Play button on the application), leaving the doors of the rooms open for him to walk through the entire house.
When finished, he will return to the base and tell us that he has completed the map, asking us for a name for it (since you can save 3 different ones), and we can edit it to our liking, giving names to the rooms and changing the divisions, so that it exactly reflects the distribution of the home.

Carpet detection also works if the robot is mopping, in which case I would not scrub, so as not to wet it.
Brushes

In addition, the water flow can be adapted while the robot is scrubbing.
The washable microfiber mop also helps remove dirt from the floor., and the robot includes practical disposable pads, which can be very useful in certain situations.
