Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro Plus review: Lost in the woods
The Deebot N20 Pro Plus uses a cyclonic dustbin to rid itself of bags. But does it work?

One of the great advancements of vacuum cleaners in the past 15 years has been the move away from requiring a vacuum bag to collect all your dirt and dust.
With the rise of robot vacuums and self-emptying base stations, vacuum bags have made a comeback.
Typically, only need to empty them every couple of months, but the additional expense of disposable bags feels like a step backwards.
The Ecovacs Deebot N20 Pro Plus is the first robot vacuum I've seen that uses a self-emptying cyclonic dustbin in the base station, so you don’t have to spend any extra money on disposables.
It’s a superb idea, that’s only let down by how easy it is to forget to empty the dustbin.
That said, the vacuum itself has some serious mapping and obstacle avoidance challenges.
