- Verdict
The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni is a revolutionary robot vacuum that takes cleaning to the next level with its innovative roller mop. This powerful device uses a unique Ozmo Roller system to clean your hard floors with ease, leaving them sparkling clean.
The X8 Pro Omni’s roller mop is the main attraction, with 16 clean water nozzles continuously wetting the mop as it glides across your floors. The mop is also cleaned by a built-in scraper that wrings out the dirty water and debris it’s picked up, ensuring it’s always clean and never smears dirt throughout your kitchen.
The innovations don’t stop there, as Ecovacs designed the roller mop to slide outward and away from the robot to clean near baseboards. This may seem unusual, but it works like a charm.
Keep Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
The X8 Pro Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum, but it’s not perfect. It gives obstacles a wide berth, which can result in missing some floor space. For example, it easily avoided a charging cable I threw on the floor, but it left several inches of uncleaned carpet around each side.
Gives Obstacles a Wide Berth
Obstacle avoidance and navigation are crucial aspects of robot vacuums, and the X8 Pro Omni delivers. The system quickly and accurately maps your home, travels to all corners without missing any spaces, and reacts well to moving obstacles.
No Humans Necessary
Robot vacuums should be autonomous, and the X8 Pro Omni is no exception. With its automated docking station, the robot will rinse the mop with hot water, dry it with hot air, and empty its dustbin into a larger bag. It’s a self-sufficient cleaning system that requires little to no input from humans.
Verdict
The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni is a workhorse, with an inventive new mopping system, loads of suction, and an automated docking station. Homes with hard floors will find it to be one of the best robot vacuums, as few competitors clean as well as the Ozmo Roller. However, the X8 Pro Omni isn’t perfect. The mop has difficulty lifting high enough to avoid brushing up against plush carpet, and the robot itself is surprisingly large. Despite these minor complaints, the X8 Pro Omni is an easy recommendation for homes with hard floors.
