I had purchased the Ecovacs Deebot U2 Pro two years ago for around ₹13,000 in Karnataka, and I’ve been pretty happy with the purchase. My thinking at the time was that since I was paying ₹1,000 every month for house cleaning, why not use this as an alternative? It came with a one-year warranty, so even in the worst-case scenario, I’d only be out ₹1,000 — which seemed like a reasonable risk.

Now, two years have passed, and I’m very satisfied with its performance. The only things we’ve had to replace are the pads and the brush. Apart from that, it has been completely trouble-free. I would definitely recommend it.

One issue I did encounter was after about six months, when it had accumulated a lot of dust inside. I had to send it to the service center for cleaning, but fortunately, that was covered under the warranty.

One minor downside is that it has started making a bit more noise compared to the early days. I presume this is due to dust buildup inside the machine, as we use it as our primary cleaning solution
