The catch
ECOVACS DEEBOT T80S OMNI
The US manual excludes carpet fibers over 10 mm
Side by side
Long-pile carpet that calls for leaving the mop pads behind points to the L60 Ultra PE, once you have checked the material and the fringe. The T80S OMNI still works for compatible low-pile and hard-floor routes, but its US manual excludes fibers over 10 mm. Dock heat and suction figures do not name a winner on cleaning or noise.
Before you buy
In a room where the carpet fibers measure 12 mm, the longer-than-10 mm exclusion in the T80S US manual rules it out for that surface. L60 Ultra PE offers pad removal for long-pile carpet and is the more relevant candidate, subject to the rug's material and fringe. T80S stays a valid roller-mop alternative on compatible low pile and hard flooring. Dreame's strategy is not universal permission for delicate or tasseled rugs.
Where this comes from
12 mm is over the limit in the T80S manual. L60 pad removal keeps wet pads from crossing the carpet, but its avoidance guidance still applies to unsuitable rugs.

Removing pads for long pile does not approve every delicate rug

ECOVACS T80S OMNI and Dreame L60 Ultra PE side by side on carpet-fiber limits, removable pads, dock space and the noise adjustments available to you.
First decide whether longer-pile rugs can stay on the route. After that, tell normal cleaning noise apart from station washing and drying.
Which one fits
Fibers over 10 mm are excluded by T80S. L60 offers pad removal for long pile, though the material and fringe still need checking.
The claimed floor-steam function is not supplied by either reviewed configuration. Dreame's 100 C figure is about station washing.
In front, T80S requires 0.8 m. No equivalent L60 clearance was verified in this packet, so its fit has to be checked by hand.
For lower noise, T80S explicitly recommends Standard rather than Strong or Max. No equivalent mode-specific claim is established here for L60.
In practice
In a room where the carpet fibers measure 12 mm, the longer-than-10 mm exclusion in the T80S US manual rules it out for that surface. L60 Ultra PE offers pad removal for long-pile carpet and is the more relevant candidate, subject to the rug's material and fringe. T80S stays a valid roller-mop alternative on compatible low pile and hard flooring. Dreame's strategy is not universal permission for delicate or tasseled rugs.
12 mm is over the limit in the T80S manual. L60 pad removal keeps wet pads from crossing the carpet, but its avoidance guidance still applies to unsuitable rugs.
For a machine that will run next to a home office, T80S has a documented first adjustment, which is to use Standard rather than Strong or Max when noise is the issue. That does not establish a quiet-mode cleaning result or an advantage over L60. Dreame's 100 C claim is about washing at the station and does not mean hot steam is applied to the floor. Decide on rug compatibility, and when possible put the wash dock away from a quiet room.
A fan-mode tradeoff is identified in the T80S manual troubleshooting. The temperature for L60 refers to dock maintenance. No shared test protocol ties together the cleaning noise, dock noise and cleaning effectiveness of the machines.
The 0.8 m of front clearance that T80S requires is a concrete installation constraint. If an alcove leaves 0.5 m, it falls short by 0.3 m even when the station itself fits. Settle that placement before buying for its roller mop. L60 is an alternative worth looking into, but this evidence neither establishes its required service envelope nor guarantees that it fits the same alcove.
0.8 minus 0.5 equals 0.3 m of missing T80S front clearance. The operating space in the manual cannot be replaced by station-body dimensions alone.

ECOVACS, T80S OMNI
Tested performance is strong on carpet, pet hair, stains and small obstacles in this roller-mop model.

Dreame, L60 Ultra PE
Dual anti-tangle brushes and excellent independently tested carpet pickup define this pet-focused robot, which comes with a full dock.
Spec by spec
| Spec | ECOVACS DEEBOT T80S OMNI | Dreame L60 Ultra PE | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carpet restriction | The US manual excludes shag carpet and carpet fibers longer than 10 mm. | The robot can remove its mop pads for long-pile carpet routes. | A specific fiber-length exclusion applies to T80S. Dreame still needs a suitable rug. |
| Station washing | The machine uses a roller mop and an automated washing station. | The advertised 100 C washing temperature applies at the mop-washing dock. | Dock washing, not floor steam, is what the 100 C Dreame figure refers to. |
| Quieter fan setting | Noise troubleshooting recommends Standard mode instead of Strong or Max when quieter operation is needed. | Not verified | The adjustment is documented for T80S. No comparable Dreame claim is established. |
| Front dock clearance | The manual requires 0.05 m dock clearance on each side and 0.8 m in front. | Not verified | Look at the exact service envelope and not just the station body. |
Trade-offs
Change of plan
Go with ECOVACS DEEBOT T80S OMNI. When noise is a concern, follow the documented Standard-mode adjustment. The US manual excludes carpet fibers over 10 mm.
Go with Dreame L60 Ultra PE. Treat low-pile lifting and long-pile strategies as separate. Pad removal for long pile does not approve every delicate rug.
Decision guide
The L60 Ultra PE is the one to choose when long-pile carpet means the mop pads have to stay behind, with material and fringe checked first. The T80S OMNI is still a candidate for compatible low-pile and hard-floor routes, though its US manual rules out fibers over 10 mm. Neither the dock heat nor the suction numbers settle which cleans better or runs quieter.
Suppose the carpet in a room has fibers measured at 12 mm. The T80S US manual excludes anything longer than 10 mm, so that surface is out for it. The L60 Ultra PE can remove its pads for long-pile carpet, which makes it the stronger candidate, as long as the rug's material and fringe allow it. On compatible low pile and hard flooring, the T80S is still a valid roller-mop alternative. Dreame's approach is not blanket permission for delicate or tasseled rugs. To recap, 12 mm is above the T80S manual limit, and the L60's pad removal keeps wet pads from crossing the carpet, but its guidance on avoiding unsuitable rugs still applies.
Where the machine will run next to a home office, the T80S has a documented first fix for noise. Use Standard instead of Strong or Max. That does not prove a quiet-mode cleaning result, and it gives no edge over the L60. Dreame's 100 C claim is about washing at the station, which means hot steam is not being applied to your floor. Let rug compatibility drive the choice, and where you can, put the wash dock away from a room that needs quiet. The T80S manual's troubleshooting points to a fan-mode tradeoff, while the L60's temperature concerns dock maintenance. No shared test protocol ties together either machine's cleaning noise, dock noise and cleaning effectiveness.
The 0.8 m of front clearance the T80S requires is a hard installation constraint. If an alcove leaves only 0.5 m, you are 0.3 m short even when the station body fits. Settle where it will go before you buy it for the roller mop. The L60 is worth looking into as an alternative, but the evidence here does not give its required service space or promise it fits the same alcove. Put plainly, 0.8 minus 0.5 equals 0.3 m of missing front clearance for the T80S. The station body dimensions cannot stand in for the operating space the manual specifies.
