Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni

What testers say about the Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni

On cleaning alone Vacuum Wars put the Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni well clear of its field, while Just A Dad Approved, after months of living with one, withheld its approval. Vacuum Wars measured cleaning: the roller mop took up wet spills and left little water behind, for a mopping mark of 3.77 out of 5 when half the robots it has tested stay under 2.58, and pet hair pressed into carpet came out far more completely than usual, which earned 4.51 where 3.735 is the lab's midpoint. Just A Dad Approved agreed that it cleans well and then marked the upkeep around the cleaning, landing half a point under its usual mark on both mopping, with a 7, and hair, with a 6.

What went wrong in that home was the trip back. Over about twenty cleanings the robot reached its station four or five times, and the other runs ended with it caught on furniture legs. Someone then has to find it and carry it back, which undoes the point of a dock built to empty the bin and rinse the roller at 75 degrees unattended.

Its battery holds 6,400 mAh against the 5,200 mAh of most rivals, yet Vacuum Wars found that it ran down quickly on higher power. The 220-millilitre dustbin is 80 millilitres smaller than theirs, and its side brush cannot swing out into corners.

Each point sums up, in our words, the review of the test it names, and its link leads to that review. We do not summarise RTINGS or Wirecutter: their lists are linked above.
