Review: Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni Flagship Robot Vacuum Mop

Sunday, October 15th, 2023

Freshly launched in Singapore last month, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni (S$1,699) takes the tedium out of cleaning by automating everything from vacuum and mopping to emptying the dustbin, refiling the clean water, and washing/drying the mop pads.

I recall my first robot cleaner was the original Roomba iRobot which did one single thing – autonomously vacuum the entire home.

The second robot I bought was an Ecovacs Deebot which could mop in addition to vacuuming.

Both had a basic dock with the sole function of charging the robot.

Many robots later, I’m back to testing out the Ecovacs, this time round an all-singing-all-dancing flagship model – the Deebot X2 Omni.

Like the flagship models of other brands today, in addition to the robot vacuuming and mopping the floor, the dock is capable of auto-emptying the dustbin, refilling the water container, and washing the mop cloths on the robot.

What is less common that the X2 Omni can do is to wash the mop cloths with hot water, and to dry the mop cloths with hot air after washing.
