PSA: The Ecovacs T8 Auto-empty station and OZMO Pro oscillating mop attachment are now available in the US
After initially only being mentioned in the product manual, and then launching overseas, these attachments are finally available here in the USA on the Ecovacs website. They even sent me a 20% off coupon for both of them, which brought the cost for both of them down to $280 before tax. Can't wait to try them out!

Do you guys think this puts the T8 over the top vs. the S6MAXV? I am still trying to decide which one to go with.
I bought the T8 solely because of the possibility these accessories were coming. It is the main thing that sets the S6MAXV and the T8 AIVI apart in my eyes, because they always perform pretty similarly in reviews.
Exactly the same situation for me (along with the video monitoring, although I hear the S6 MaxV has received that in a recent update). Once I learned that these accessories were in the pipeline, it was really easy to make my decision. I have a feeling that this will now be the robot vac to beat in terms of mopping performance.
How is the T8 plus working out for you guys with its self-empty feature? I'm still indecisive between T8 plus or wait until Roborock release the self empty version soon (hopefully)
It is working pretty well for me. One complaint that I have is that my wife and one of our dogs have pretty long hair, so since the auto-empty station sucks out debris through two holes at the same time, the hair/dust ball will sometimes get "caught" in the dust bin. Running the self-empty station 1 or 2 more times usually takes care of this. Otherwise, it works beautifully.
