What you can expect from the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone
What testers say about the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone
The Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone was the first robot in a long time that Vacuum Wars tested with a bagless self-emptying station: the station sucks the bin empty into a removable cyclone container, washes the roller mop in hot water, dries it with hot air and tops the robot up by six percent in three minutes while washing. The roller rinses itself and extends along edges, the side brush extends for corners and a lift system raises the roller on carpet. Vacuum Wars ranks it 15th of 20.
The testers logged some of the highest suction and airflow figures they have ever measured, well over double the average, and remarked that this may be the best robot for pet hair they had tested so far. On hard floors and carpet debris of every size was picked up without trouble, and the deep-clean carpet scores were among the highest on record. The app offers maps per floor, a voice assistant and video, and the 6,400 mAh battery gives a quoted run time of 254 minutes in quiet mode.
The reservations: the onboard bin is small and the cyclone container in the station has to be emptied by hand about every five weeks, dustier work than dropping a bag in the bin. Thresholds stop at about 1 inch and at almost 3.9 inches the robot is on the tall side. The X12 OmniCyclone with its pre-soak jets has since arrived; anyone finding the X11 discounted gets nearly the same vacuuming for less.
