Deebot X11

I got the standard x11 (the one with bags) delivered on Wednesday. Set it up and the mopping function is broken straight out of the box. Trying to raise a ticket with ecovacs and get timely responses is such a slog though.

Mine won’t even recognise that there is water in th docking station. So it is just a vacuum, which works great, but can’t mop.

Looks like Narwal put out a [$100 off coupon](https://amzn.to/3MoSZcO) to go with their discounted price bringing the total down to $899 now for the Flow. Excellent vacuum all around, I did a full [comparison ](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1p25hqm/dreame_aqua_10_ultra_roller_vs_narwal_flow_ama/)to the Aqua10 if anyone was interested. The reason I bring up the [Ecovacs Deebot X11](https://amzn.to/3LW14FZ) in this post is because I've been testing this for the last week now and I have to say I'm really impressed with its performance. It does a stellar job in vacuuming, navigation, obstacle avoidance and mopping. I also really like the powerboost charging and bagless station way more than I thought I would. The only downside I've found at this point is the AI stain detection is way too sensitive for my dark floors but after toggling that off it's been fine. Just another option to consider at this price range! If I were to rank the current roller mop vacs I've tested so far, I would put them in this order: 1. [Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/3MoSZcO) \- $899 (best for smooth floors) 2. [Ecovacs Deebot X11](https://amzn.to/3LW14FZ) \- $899 (best for textured floors) 3. [MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller](https://amzn.to/4omH8cC) \- $999 (great all around but questionable longevity) 4. Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller (Not currently for sale, only the "[Roller](https://amzn.to/3XnxlIp)" version is. Questionable with dock leaks and dust bin issues) 5. [Eufy Omni E25](https://amzn.to/4pBPQVz) \- $599 (great all around but not as good mopper as the others) If anyone has questions regarding the vacs I've tested I'll do my best to answer

I'm trying out the X11 right now, doing its first cleaning cycle. So far it's comparable to any of the roller mop flagships but still only the first clean

I had no problem with hair tangles, I was also hesitate because of the brush style being similar to my Eufy x10 which tangled all the time but no issues with the X11.

Narwal Flow, my second pick would be an X11 Ecovacs

Narwal Flow #1 followed by Ecovacs X11 for mopping-first. For Roborock i'd say CurvX is a solid choice for spinning mop pads.

My parents were in the same situation where our maid will just take long leaves. I will suggest you what I have done, I bought a robo vaccum around 22k. This is economical and gives my parents an idea on how to use, clean and maintain the machine. The expensive one works on the same concept with better suction, dust storage, water refill, battery etc. Go with the cheaper one first and see if it works for you.

Been 6 months and it works well, cleans better than any maid. Need to clean the brush and mop once the cycle is done everyday. This ensures your next day is just starts easier.

I'll be honest. All the robo vaccums in india are chinese imports so quality and service is questionable regardless of the brand. I chose ecovacs because they had service center in my parents city. No other factor.

I bought the X11, flow w/ compact dock, & the saros 10 w/ the drain & fill station. Have had then all for about 2 months & don’t really have complaints with any. Wanted to test them all & the flow & X11 edge out the 10 imho. The best feature for me on the X11 is the bagless dust bin. Have a few dogs so it makes really easy to dump out the dirt & put it back in vs getting a new bag putting it in etc. In regards to your concerns: So far it hasn’t gotten stuck but I also added invisible walls in previous trouble areas for other models but durning mapping it had no issues. No issue finding the charging station I haven’t noticed it randomly stopping & going to a different room. This could be user error where the room has been split & the user selected a different order for the rooms to be cleaned. When I first had it map the house, I have a large room with some kitchen islands that the robot auto segmented as a different room. I didn’t immediately fix it & when I let it clean it did that “room” first & the rest of the room third after cleaning another room second as that was the order I had set in the app. There are some settings you can play with in terms of mop cleaning consistency & emptying the dust bin, I have dogs so I have it return multiple times a cleaning session. Ironically with the X11’s fast charging most of the time it returns to the dock at the end of the cleaning cycle only missing 10% because of its frequent top ups (which are optional). No navigational issues to note.

Ecovacs just launched the X11 that has matter support. In the Home app it lets me swap between vacuum and mop, choose rooms to clean, and HomeKit automations. I was sort of expecting just basic on/off functionality so pleasantly surprised. Only been using for two weeks but so far so good.

Happy with our x11.

It has a canister and not a bag so I empty it out frequently to prevent clogs.

The CurvX is almost $1500 from the Roborock website where I live. They're probably not pushing it for the Swedish market... Funny though, I also returned an EcoVacs X11 just a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, anything would be an upgrade from my S5, but I feel like the price to performance is so random at times. I can get a Qrevo Edge 5V1 for $740 and a Saros 10R for $1540 right now. The Dreames are all over the place too.. I guess I'll see what black friday brings :)

I think it's mainly a QA issue - disregarding the obviously sponsored reviews, it seems pretty split between people being very happy with their purchases and other people experiencing catastrophic failures after a few weeks, with not much inbetween. I've seen tons of positive reviews (from what I've deemed to be real people based on comment history etc) for the Ecovacs x11, but I bought one a little while ago and had to return it after just one day after experiencing all kinds of issues. I think it's the equivalent of the silicon lottery of the computer world. I have an old Roborock S5 that at this point after 6 years is held together by duct tape, but the vacuuming and navigation performance is just as good as on day 1. I feel like it has set the bar a bit too high for me given what I read on here :') I think your best bet is to get one that you think suits your needs, and run it thoroughly while you're able to return it. Depending on where you live there may be different regulations for return windows and warranty depending on if you just changed your mind vs if the product is not behaving as advertised, so do some research on what applies where you live. If you're buying from a physical store then you can always ask them too.
