TheEcovacs Deebot X2 Omniis one such robot.
It vacuums, mops, monitors your home, and cleans itself.
The promises are as big as the price tag.
This thing is big, and it has an almost overwhelming number of features and configs.
I quickly realized this is not a standard robot vacuum, and the $1,500 price tag reflects that.
People I know with robot vacuums always seem to still do some level of vacuuming themselves.
But if I’m dropping close to $2K on a robot, it better not need much help.
Let’s put it to the test.
Deebot X2 Omni is equipped to keep the floors in your home shining like new.
Plus, its 15mm intelligent mop lifting function helps keep carpets dry and clean.
Minimizing hair entanglement as it cleans also makes it perfect for pet families.
Moreover, AIVI 3D 2.0 and TrueMapping 3.0 technology ensure accurate obstacle avoidance and path mapping.

I proceeded to initiate the box and remove the packaging to discover that it was indeed quite large.
The robot itself is surprisingly small for all that’s on board.

The smooth flat, silver-ish top panel on the Deebot reminds me of an old Samsung Galaxy phone.
Design-wise, the X2 Omni is a step down from theX1 Omni.
One last note on appearance.

I noticed the black model left some slight smudges on a white bookcase in my house.
The marks were not hard to remove, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Deebot X2 Omni Features: What Can’t It Do?

Let’s get into the details of what this robotvacuumhome manager can do.
But is this a “jack of all trades, master of none” situation?
It uses an RGBD sensor for color and depth, as well as a dual-laserLiDAR sensor.

Unlike other robot vacuums, the X2 Omni does the initial mapping of your home without actually vacuuming.
This makes the mapping process go much quicker.
Thankfully, it’s possible for you to manually edit and add furniture.

Of course, you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to.
The X2 Omni will automatically navigate around whatever you have in your home.
you might save up to three maps to the X2 Omni, which is good for multi-level homes.

All in all, I was pretty happy with the mapping capabilities.
It has four vacuum power parameters to choose from, with a max of 8,000 Pa.
The suction power is very evident by the volume of the vacuum.

I was mostly happy with the vacuuming capabilities of the X2 Omni.
Sometimes, little clumps of fuzz would fall off the roller and not get picked up.
The good news is that none of this happened every time.

For the most part, my carpet looks clean and freshly vacuumed.
The square design is partially to thank for this as well.
Unlike puck-shaped vacuums, the X2 Omni can actually get into corners.
And it doesn’t just rely on suction to pick stuff up.
A rotating sweeping brush on the front right corner and a wide 7.8-inch roller brush underneath helps with this.
The one downside to using the maximum vacuum power is battery life.
The X2 Omni needs to stop and recharge considerably more often if you crank up the suction.
Mopping
As I’ve mentioned multiple times, the X2 Omni is not a one-trick pony.
The X2 Omni is equipped with two spinning mopping pads on the rear of the robot.
I was much more skeptical about the mopping capabilities than the vacuuming.
I didn’t think rotating pads could match that, and I was right.
Fabric mopping padsrobotic or human-poweredwon’t be able to get tough spots that need scrubbing.
In general, I was pleased with how my floors looked.
I hate mopping more than vacuuming, and I feel comfortable letting the X2 Omni take over for me.
The docking station has two ~1-gallon removable tanks for clean and dirty water.
The water is heated up to 131F for mopping and cleaning the mops.
I recommend adding a mopping solution to the clean water tank.
It improved the results (and made things smell nice).
Thankfully, the self-cleaning features are almost as impressive.
The X2 Omni can empty its own dust bag and wash and dry the mopping pads.
That’s particularly important to keep the mopping pads from getting musty and gross over time.
I think this is where the X2 Omni impressed me the most.
There’s really not much you have to do to take care of the robot.
But it’s not up to you to stay on top of the maintenance.
Yiko can handle essentially anything you might do from the app and more.
For example, it’s easy to say “OK Yiko, clean the living room.”
you might also launch custom cleaning routines with voice commands.
It’s pretty cool.
I eventually realized there’s an advantage to a voice assistant like Yiko over Google Assistant or Alexa.
Yiko is designed specifically for the X2 Omni, so that’s all it knows.
The good news is it’s a pretty solid app, but it hasa lotgoing on.
The app has many of the features you’d expect to find for a robot vacuum.
I can’t stress enough how much tweaking you’ve got the option to do with the app.
For example, to be more thorough, you could have the mopping done in an S-shaped pattern.
you could also decide how mopping and vacuuming work together.
Should the robot switch back and forth as it moves around or save the mopping for the end?
It’s all up to you.
One fun feature is the ability to look through the robot’s front camera.
You’ll want to spend some time exploring the app and dialing in your cleaning routine over time.
Should You Buy the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni?
Overall, I’m very impressed with theDeebot X2 Omni.
I genuinely feel like it can replace the vast majority of my manual vacuuming and mopping.
My house has felt cleaner since I’ve been living with it, and I greatly appreciate that.
It’s a big thing that I don’t have to think about anymore.
What price would you put on never having to vacuum or mop the floors in your house again?
How much is all that saved time worth to you?
Ultimately, you’re either in the market for a high-end robot cleaner, or you’re not.
There are other options in this category of vacuum/mop robots.
TheRoborock S8 Pro Ultracosts $1,600, and theRoomba Combo j9+is $1,400.
So, if you want these capabilities, you’re likely looking at dropping over $1,000.
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni seems like an equal, if not better, competitor.
Plus, it’s hip to be square.
