Ecovacs recently developed its new flagship lineup, the DEEBOT X1, X2, and X5 OMNI. The DEEBOT X1 OMNI is the cheapest, lacks some features, yet still has more options than most robot vacuums.

DEEBOT X1 OMNI
The flagship of the X1 series.
The robot is a good value when on sale, but it is not recommended if you are going to use mopping often since it uses cool water for washing, which is not hygienic enough.
The DEEBOT X2 and X5 series
Starting with the X2 series, these robots use the new AINA navigation technologies. It includes a dual-laser Lidar that makes the robot's body shorter, thanks to which the robot reaches under most furniture, and AIVI 3D 2.0 object recognition technology. Also, the X2 and X5 series have a wider D-shape body with a long 20 cm cleaning brush.
Compared to the DEEBOT X1 series, the newest models lift the mopping pads to 15 mm.
Auto-cleaning bases
The latest models have rich-featured stations that do the following things:
- Auto-empty the dustbin
- Auto-refill the water tank
- Auto-wash the mopping pads
- Auto-dry the pads with hot air
The stations have a detachable tray. The only difference is that the X5 OMNI has a self-cleaning mode for the whole station, including cleaning the tray.
The newest ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI
It has three modifications: Deebot X2 OMNI, Deebot X2 Combo, and Deebot X2 Combo Complete, which is technically the same Combo with additional cleaning tools.
This model has upgraded navigation and avoidance technology, so it is better at figuring out your home compared to the previous X1 OMNI.
It has more power and a bigger battery, which makes it perfect for big houses covered with carpets. The newest dual-laser LIDAR navigation technology detects objects up to 10 meters away at a 210-degree angle, so the robot doesn't get stuck around furniture.
Deebot X2 Combo
The Combo modification has more power and comes with a handheld vacuum that includes extra cleaning tools.
The main difference between it and the X2 OMNI is a two-way self-emptying system that sucks out the robot's dustbin content and the handheld dust cup dirt. The robot vacuum and handheld share one 3L disposable bag.
Deebot X5 OMNI
The DEEBOT X5 OMNI is the most powerful and rich-featured robot vacuum in the whole ECOVACS lineup.
The robot's newest navigation system makes cleaning more accurate, identifying small objects and avoiding them. The upgraded Zero Tangle roller fits the pet owners and basically everyone, since maintaining the roller might be annoying. The base does it all, additionally washing the tray so you don't have to worry about cleaning it for up to 150 days.
TruEdge Adaptive Edge Mopping
The robot extends the mopping pad when cleaning along the walls and edges.
With the AINA 2.0 intelligent navigation, the Deebot X5 OMNI is the smartest and most accurate robot in the lineup.
The good
OZMO mopping system combines two onboard water tanks, a wide roller and efficient water consumption
Upgrades:
- OZMO roller mop
- Extendable side brush and mop
- Two onboard water tanks
- RoomBase temperature
- Upgraded obstacle avoidance
- Hot water tank refill
Unlike the X5 OMNI, the X8 Pro OMNI uses an OZMO roller mop and has an onboard water tank for wasted water, so the roller stays clean and fresh throughout the mopping cycle.
The onboard temperature-controlled mop washing chooses the right temperature for washing the roller. The X8 Pro OMNI extends the side brush and a roller along the walls and around tight spaces.
An upgraded navigation and obstacle avoidance technology makes navigation neat and efficient.
Editor's choice: better for carpets
The newest X9 Pro has a zero-tangle system, an anti-tangle side brush, and a V-shaped roller brush that prevents hair wrapping.
DEEBOT X9 Pro upgrades:
- BLAST Airflow Suction
- Triple lift
- ZeroTangle 3.0 technology
- Hot water tank refill
- Hot water self-cleaning
Ecovacs DEEBOT X9 Pro OMNI
A new Blast Tech that provides deep carpet cleaning
Unlike the DEEBOT X8 Pro OMNI, the newest X9 Pro OMNI features a triple lift system that adapts to the cleaning task, lifting a side brush, roller, or mopping roller as needed. The mopping system doesn't have a change from the X8 Pro Omni.
A new Blast technology combines suction and airflow for deep carpet cleaning
While higher suction drains battery life, Blast optimizes both by 3x airflow and strong suction, delivering deeper cleaning and extending runtime.
More pickup efficiency, better carpet cleaning
Even tho the robot has lower suction numbers, thanks to the Blast, it has more efficiency at deep carpet cleaning.
Better at removing stains, stronger suction
DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone upgrades:
- Higher airflow
- Super-burst charging
- Longer esge reach
- Bagless design
- Dual solution refill
- Brand-new station design
- Higher obstacle crossing
DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone
Dual cleaning solution refill for stubborn stains
Super-burst charging restores 6% battery in 3 minutes. The bagless design sets you free from switching disposable bags, saving up to 25 bags in 5 years.
Mopping upgrades:
- 200% longer edge reach
- 2 edge gliding wheels
- high-density roller
- dual solution refill for daily jobs and tough stains
- AI stain detection
- TrueEdge 3.0
Double-effect cleaning solution: the heavy-duty solution is specially designed for areas prone to heavy grease buildup, such as kitchens and dining rooms. The station will automatically switch to the heavy-duty formula after cleaning to deep-wash the roller mop.
Blast technology ensures better vacuuming performance. The newest TruePass Adaptive 4 Wheel Drive Climbing system activates mechanical climbing claws so the robot can easily pass over single thresholds as high as 0.94 inches, as well as various thresholds and sliding door tracks up to 1.57 inches high.
Higher obstacle crossing performance thanks to TruePass technology
The robot intelligently lifts the side brush, roller, or the OZMO roller, depending on the cleaning task.
To sum up
Editor's choice: DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone
For the best mopping experience, consider the DEEBOT X9 Pro OMNI and DEEBOT X8 Pro OMNI. The X9 Pro is the best for carpets.
The best value (with a discount): DEEBOT X5 OMNI.
For those who are looking for a handheld vacuum, consider getting the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo. And if you need a cordless vacuum cleaner, have a look at the Deebot X2 Combo Complete.
