ZDNET’s Key Takeaways
* The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is available for the $1,500 retail price but currently sells for $900.
* This square-shaped robot vacuum and mop features a charging station that does it all: empties the robot’s dustbin and washes and dries the robot’s mop pads.
* Though this robot vacuum cleans beautifully, it doesn’t feature the best obstacle avoidance, making it prone to getting its roller brush stuck on items littered on the floor.
You know that gratifying feeling of coming home to a clean house? With a family of five, that’s not a feeling I often get, if at all. Enter the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni.
About the Square Shape
The Deebot X2 Omni has several superpowers, starting with its compact package. The squared edges stood out to me as a feature when I unpacked the device, along with how narrow and short it was. At only 12.6 inches wide, it’s about 0.3 inches narrower than the Eufy X9 Pro robot vacuum mop, which had been my super mop until the X2 Omni arrived.
Some AI-Powered Features
The Deebot X2 leverages Ecovacs’ AIVI 3D 2.0 and combines an AI processor with 3D-structured light sensors with dual-laser LiDAR technology. The result is efficient maps that allow the robot to intelligently detect objects during navigation and clean around them. This feature set means you won’t have to ensure your floors are free of charging cables, toys, or shoes before sending out the X2.
A New Level of Voice Control
Voice control makes everything in my home easier. Countless robot vacuums let you use a third-party virtual assistant for voice control, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. Saying, “Alexa, clean the floors” in my house dispatches the Eufy X9 Pro to clean my bedroom and hallway. However, these assistants are limited in the functions they can make the robot perform.
ZDNET’s Buying Advice
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is the company’s new flagship robot with all the smart features and a price to match, at $1,500. The great thing about this all-in-one, self-emptying, and self-cleaning robot vacuum and mop is that it’s not best suited for some circumstances — it’s suited for all.
Conclusion
The Deebot X2 Omni is a top-performing robot vacuum and mop combo that I’ve tried. While it has some drawbacks, such as navigation issues after a while, it’s a great option for those looking for a hands-free cleaning experience. With its compact design, strong suction power, and self-cleaning station, it’s a great choice for those with complex cleaning needs.
