What you can expect from the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni
What testers say about the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni
Only 5,000 Pa of suction, when most rivals sold with a mop-cleaning station reach 20,000 Pa, did not stop the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni from picking up fine and coarse debris when Vacuum Wars tried it. That lab's vacuuming mark for it still sits below its middle score.
Mopping is where it falls down, and the testers do not agree on how far. Vacuum Wars handed it 0.68 of a possible 5 for its mop, when half the robots through its lab reach 2.58 or more: dried-on spots survived several runs, and an infrared camera showed the pads laying down very little water. TechRadar saw the same spinning pads lift dried cola and coffee. A kitchen with dried spills may still need a hand mop. The pads also stay down, so with them fitted the robot keeps off carpet.
Both testers call the station bulky. At 578 millimetres it rises 78 millimetres over its peers' usual height, and its 448 millimetres of width is 53 millimetres more than theirs. The battery lasts 260 minutes, an hour beyond what the others manage, which suits a large floor.
Pros
- Vacuums debris of all sizes from carpet and hard floors, kitty litter included Vacuum Wars ↗
- Mapped the home quickly and correctly on its first run Vacuum Wars ↗
- The sturdy dock empties the bin and washes the pads without leaks or clogs Vacuum Wars ↗
- Collected fine dust, crumbs and cereal from hard floors even on low suction TechRadar ↗
- Its scrubbing mop pads lifted dried cola and coffee stains from hard floors TechRadar ↗
- The dock stays fairly quiet while emptying the bin and washing pads TechRadar ↗
Cons
- Struggled to lift dried-on spots even after several mopping runs Vacuum Wars ↗
- The robot and its dock take up a lot of space Vacuum Wars ↗
- Occasionally hits things that rival robots manage to avoid Vacuum Wars ↗
- Went for a charger lead and a sock on the floor instead of avoiding them TechRadar ↗
- Regularly got stuck moving from thick carpet onto hard floor TechRadar ↗
- The docking station is very bulky TechRadar ↗
Where the testers disagree
- The station: Vacuum Wars: The sturdy dock empties the bin and washes the pads without leaks or clogs against TechRadar: The docking station is very bulky
- Mopping: TechRadar: Its scrubbing mop pads lifted dried cola and coffee stains from hard floors against Vacuum Wars: Struggled to lift dried-on spots even after several mopping runs
