Ecovacs is one of the better robot brands on the market, mainly producing more expensive robot vacuums. It has also become a strong competitor to the Roomba and Roborock robot vacuum cleaner series. The DEEBOT T8 is very similar to the DEEBOT T8 AIVI, they use the same hardware platform and have the same cleaning time, efficiency, mopping performance, etc. But there are also differences between the two, let's discuss them together.
DEEBOT OZMO T8 vs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI
Different point
Price
First of all, in terms of price, the DEEBOT T8 is officially priced at $350, while the DEEBOT T8 AIVI is priced at $500. There is a $150 gap in price.
Navigation
DEEBOT T8 is the first vacuum mopping robot with state-of-the-art TrueDetect 3D technology. It can accurately scan the surroundings of a room and detect the smallest obstacles in the room. It can identify very small spaces such as table legs, small objects, etc. Avoid getting stuck or colliding.
The DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI uses the upgraded AIVI ™ technology, which can recognize multiple obstacles at twice the recognition speed. It can also automatically avoid obstacles and can say goodbye to the card from now on.
Mapping
Deebot T8 is equipped with TrueMap technology for mapping. This laser mapping system draws an accurate map of your home with 4x accuracy. Multiple maps can also be created and stored, with advanced custom cleaning and virtual borders.
Virtual Boundaries
A unique feature of the Deebot T8 AIVI is the Missed Area Notification. It can tell you the cleaning area that may not be reached by the vacuum cleaner due to certain obstacles, so you can remove the obstacle and send it to clean.
Missed Area Notification
Same point
They offer the same 175-minute battery life, 67 dB noise level, vacuuming and mopping performance.
Function
As a high-end model, the Deebot T8 AIVI uses a front-facing camera and artificial intelligence to detect objects and avoid obstacles. For functions such as image capture and body shape detection.
As a practical model, the Deebot T8 supports TrueDetect 3D, which uses a laser to avoid obstacles. Make judgments about distance to prevent getting stuck or bumping during cleaning. Monocular structured light allows it to move freely.
Which is more suitable for you?
I think it depends on your own needs, if you want a vacuum cleaner to give you more functionality and a mobile camera to provide some security in your home, the Deebot T8 AIVI is worth the investment. But if you just want to choose a practical vacuum cleaner, then the Deebot T8 is a great choice.
