ECOVACS - DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni Robot Vacuum and Mop

I think x9 will do better on carpets, since they have upgraded the airflow system for stronger suction power. Hope you like your new robot and please share more when it arrives.

I just gave that model a 3 out of 5 stars. So... not so much. [https://lifehacker.com/tech/ecovacs-deebot-x9-pro-omni-review](https://lifehacker.com/tech/ecovacs-deebot-x9-pro-omni-review)

I just tested and reviewed this one and gave it 3 out of 5 Stars. I was very unimpressed. Although I'm not done with my testing of the z70, it is not ready for prime time. The x50 was good, And I think that would be a fine purchase. I also highly recommend the saros 10r and 10. But... I was alone out of the water with the 3i S10 and no one talks about it.

Just purchased the X9 Omni and so far so good. Will be interesting to see how it performs over time. Mapping works quite well but is confused by mirrors (it interprets mirrors as other rooms)

Yes, it’s easy to adjust the border as needed in the app or just cover the mirror during the first mapping. Definitely not a major problem. Was just funny to see it constantly trying to go through the mirror until it finally gave up.

I recently replaced my somewhat trusty Roborock S8 Pro Ultra with a Deebot X9. The S8 kept throwing the "bumper stuck error" and I just had enough of trying to fix it with little things found online. So I got the X9 during the deal that Amazon had recently ($1,299). My general consensus is that it's weird that this has such a high score on VacuumWars. What I've observed: * Battery life is just odd. It is constantly coming back to charge before being able to finish a cleaning cycle it seem (\~2200 sqft home). * Water tank seems small and it comes back to empty a lot. So therefore it takes a long time to finish even one room. * Mopping seems "OK" to me, it's definitely filling up the dirty tank with lots of brown water (more than the Roborock) but it also seems to struggle with simple stains on a hardwood floor. * Obstacle avoidance seems WAY worse than Roborock just for simple things like avoiding the feet of a table near the dock. It hits the same feet EVERY single time. * Got a bit of a plastic feel, feels way cheaper than the Roborock. * It moves in odd ways, don't know how else to describe it. It seems to jolt and stutter in its movements. Anyone else with an X9 thinking of replacing it with something else? I can still return this thing. Maybe the 10R is best for me. I just need something that does a great job on hardwood floors with vacuum and mopping.

Yeah I've had enough. This thing is getting returned to Amazon. On the search for another option now. Going to test out the P50 Pro Ultra it seems.

I love ours, I ran the crap out of mine the first week to make sure it met my expectations and it did!

Just got my X9 yesterday and love it so far. I’m running the piss out of it. Mopping is great, very even and dries a lot quicker.

I’ve had a few and the x9 I have now, running the crap out of it for the past week, it’s been amazing, this is not a test setup it’s real world experience, I don’t do reviews, I just answer people’s questions about what I have used.

I’ll say something good about them! I’ve had 3, T20, X5 and the X9 which is the best so far. I’ve moved them to my other home as I upgrade and still running great. Now the X5 I had to return, the vacuum box door didn’t close tight, I asked for just the dust bin but they said send it all back so I did, no problems here.

I own the X9 also along with a few other high end robots including the 10R. The 10R is the best on balance with cleaning, efficiency and battery life. However, if I run the X9 after the 10R the water in the dirty water tank is dirty. The X9 has horrible battery life, but I find it navigates well in my house. I also find if you don't use the AI cleaning and set the cleaning preferences manually it works better.

I always wanted to try the roller mop and now it’s time, I received my x9 today. Just starting to unpack, took a few mins to set up everything and waited a while for it's firmware update. I got short pile carpets and hardwood in the living room, tiles in the kitchen and the bathroom. I let it run for the first time, it got no problem picking up the chip crumbs on my carpet, I am quite satisfied with the suction power. The mopping is also good, no weird streaky lines. I tried spot cleaning deliberate spilled coffee, I noticed it lifted up the brushes automatically, looks like it can detect the type of mess it's cleaning. Can't wait to test it more. Will update more after running a few more cleaning cycles.

I think the t80 can only lift up the mop, but x9 can lift up both the brushes and the mop. X9 also got stronger suction power for carpet cleaning.

Yeah, IMO it's quite decent. It automatically boosted the suction power on carpet and clean with a zigzag pattern, I didn't see any hair or debris left behind, my carpet looks cleaner after.

I saw some eufy reviews saying the mopping is great but it has poor performance on carpets, which got me a bit worried. But I crossed eufy from my list because it doesn't have an extendable mop or hot water mop washing. Also x9 is ranking top on vacuum wars' list so I thought I might give it a shot.

It has a lidar. They put it in the front of the robot, not on the top.

Nope, I thought it would have one in the box, but it doesn't come with any cleaning solution.

It has no problem handling table like this. https://preview.redd.it/qc9ra1bs0v4f1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=970b5da5871893dd4bdb3095cf9579c21d67757f

Been using it for a few days now, the obstacle avoidance is pretty good. We keep the floor fairly tidy, so nothing too tricky for it, but it does manage to avoid cables lying around.

After running it for a few days, I think it works really well on tiles or any other hard floors, I am just using water right now, but it dries surprisingly fast. I think it's because the water was spread evenly.

For now just water, but I ordered their cleaning solution. I've seen people using the bissell cleaner, could be an alternative choice.

My ecovacs deebot x9 pro omni is easy to use and reliable overall.

Jesus, please stop posting comments. They asked for the best vac/mop and you show them a shitty vac only roomba with no lidar or base station. If you aren’t going to at least try, please don’t comment. As others have said the E25/28 and the X9 are both probably top that are out currently. The X9 probably has better hardware/carpet performance but their software is very error prone. I have an S1 and love it but it also has its faults as does Eufy as a whole. If you really want to buy once cry once I might wait a couple months for the dreame aqua 10 pro to come out. It’s a track style mop that can actually keep the onboard water hot at I believe 45C and cleans the rollermop with 100c boiling water. It’s also supposed to have made a big leap in self cleaning the onboard dirty water tank which is huge (speaking from experience there lol). But if waiting isn’t an option, I would go X9 if performance is all you care about and you don’t mind the app/map needing to be redone here and there, and the E25/28 if you want a more stable app and better obstacle avoidance.

I'd go for the Ecovacs X9 Pro, it has more power and does better with dog hair on carpets

X9 Ecovac Omni pro 10/10

I was like you once, after a year of perseverance, I opted for the Ecovacs x9 pro omni

I'm using the ecovacs X9 pro and it's working fine for me. What features do you mainly need?

I have cats and dogs too, and my home is mostly wooden floor. I’ve got an ecovacs X8 pro, and running it every couple days helps keep things from getting out of hand. If you are interested in getting a robot vaccum, I'd say check out the vaccum war list. The Ecovacs X9 Pro is ranked first now, could take a look.

i have a ecovacs X9 pro omni for a mosaic tile 1st floor ( almost more grout line than tile) and it does exceptionally well.

Yeah, the roller mop on the E28 or the X9 will be much better because they are constantly cleaning themselves and laying down clean water. No pushing dirt around. If money is not an issue, then the X9 might be better all around due to its extending mop. Not sure if it’s lack of LiDAR makes navigation worse though.

Poderak, smarthomeassistant, Jamie Andrews. Just a Dad was good some time ago now he’s just pumping videos and recycling them and they are not even thorough anymore. Vacuum wars just throws numbers from lab on 6 min videos and that’s about it, that’s why the ecovacs X9 is their king when if you tested an ecovacs for more than a week you would know all the issues they had and have with mapping, navigation and so on.

I bought both of them very recently. Either my X9 is faulty or it’s just meant to be that way. The battery runs out quickly. It did like 2 rooms and had to go charge again and again. My 10R did the entire same floor plan on highest settings and still had 44% battery left to spare. Some ppl here said it needs to cycle the battery a few times before it works properly. However I did do that and still no changes and that seems like a ridiculous thing to do for it to work properly, like it should work how it’s supposed to from the beginning. I also don’t like the Ecovacs app. Roborock app is so much more polished. Idk if the roller mop is cleaning better or not, it was leaving a lot of wet surface on the default settings, but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. (I have PVC flooring). Another thing is I have a threshold between the add-on “garage” and my main house, the X9 could not get over it and the 10R did it so easily. So now I only need one robot downstairs instead of two seperate ones. I also like that the R10 leaves the mops behind when doing vacuum only. And that’s another thing. X9 can’t do mop only. Sometimes I just want my robot to mop instead of vac&mop. For me R10 is so much better in all ways. I should’ve stocked to Roborock from the beginning, I have no clue why vacuumwars is praising Ecovacs so much. 🤷🏻‍♂️

From my personal experience it is Roborock models. I’ve had 2x Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, 2x Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and now Roborock Saros 10R and I couldn’t be happier. When I had first gotten the S7 MaxV Ultra’s k had questions about original accessories and I had emailed them and they replied so quickly with the Information I needed. I tried Ecovacs X9 Omni Pro and I think my robot was faulty. I tried contacting support directly when I received it, I have yet to receive an answer (Europe/Netherlands). I have returned it back to Amazon instead.

Dreame x50 will handle objects on the floor well, doesn’t tangle hair and mopping is pretty good. Not as good as the ecovacs x9/x8 for mopping. But for everything else really good. 

Vacuum Wars is what I needed to see! Thanks! There are so many fake review sites out there, good to see one that actually tests the products. I'll keep an eye on the newer models. Ecovac claims to use AI to learn about furniture positions and re-cleaning hard to clean stains (it allegedly comes back over the spots that aren't clean enough). They have some space aged features like that. Vacuum Wars has reviewed some. Looking into it...

I've owned a few, my experiences with different brands in order of ownership: Neato - My first and way ahead of it's time. I loved this vacuum, it had lidar way before the rest of the competition. Didn't save maps but navigated the house systemically and did a great job cleaning. Lasted from 2013 until 2019. I wish this company had continued to improve their product lines but they've sky rocketed in price compared to their competition without really adding new features. ECOVACS DEEBOT- The shortest lived vacuum I owned, less than 6 months. Piece of shit. iRobot Roomba 960 - Had it from 2019 until 2023. Claimed to map rooms but it didn't really short battery life forced it to recharge at least 1 time and often 2 while cleaning my home. Honestly...I didn't care for this vacuum and was happy when it died as it was the perfect height to get itself stuck under my kitchen cabinets in 1 spot nearly every time it ran. Claimed to map rooms but just did the iRobot crash into things random path thing. Shark RV2502AE - It was good...until it wasn't when the lidar died, just over 6 months in 2023. I bought it new off Amazon, but Shark claim it was refurbished, the refurbisher claimed it was out of warranty, and Amazon is impossible to get someone on the phone with any real power to fix things. Even beyond those issues, the app was wonky and always very slow to connect. I will never buy another Shark product after that experience and I was almost to the point of giving up on robot vacuums. Roborock Q5 - Current, had it for almost a year. It's a great vacuum so far. It cleans quick and is smart enough to know when it hits rugs/carpet so kicks in extra power at those points. It did get stuck once under my bed, but I've since used the app to make it a no go zone and never had another issue with that. My 1 issue with it is not with the vacuum but it's empty dock design. The bags do not seal perfectly allowing some dust to escape which will clog a vent preventing proper emptying. Not a huge deal as...well it still can run 5+ times without needing it cleaned out. I bought an extended warranty with this one.

We have a deebot, one that mobs and vacuums. Don't even hesitate. This thing cleans. We come home and its clean. spill something, he comes mop it up. Its even entertainment for the dog.

got a cheap Ecovacs Deebot about 5 years ago as a test after having the same doubts about the efficacy of them and it's still going strong and has been a god send. If it finally dies I'll upgrade to a more fancy version.

I picked up a used Deebot. It has WiFi and Bluetooth, but I never installed the app, so my assumption is that it isn't communicating with anything. I used the IR remote to set the schedule and mode. I'm not sure if the newer models work the same...

I doubt you'll find anything without WiFi & Bluetooth. The real issue is if it refuses to work unless it's connected, registered and/or controlled by an app. Do you think there's a concern with the Deebot? I'd like to know since my assumption was that there would be no privacy concern. FWIW, there are no open networks anywhere around here.

Interestingly, my Deebot vac uses an ESP-8266 WiFi board. It is separate from the motherboard and can be easily unplugged. I have not tried this, so I'm not sure if the vacuum would work without it.

Do NOT go for ecovacs deebot... What a shitshow... Worst 800€ I ever spent...

$500 is a critical threshold. I have had different Deebots for years and they are very helpful, but the real game changers are the Omni-stations. You definitely want to buy one with a station, that can empty the dust bin, clean and dry the mopping pads. The real magic of these robots is, if you have to interact with them, as little as possible. Having to only empty and refill the robot once a week, instead of daily was the hugest step in comfort for me personally.

I have a eufy S1. I chose it because I wanted something that was near-flagship, but <$1000. I also really wanted a roller mop as opposed to spinning mop pads. I hated the idea of smearing dirty pads around the floor. I've had it for about a month and am in love after replacing a very, very old Ecovacs Deebot which had no mapping nor navigation. The improvement is night and day.

I had a deebot for a couple of years and it was good. So, when it died, I got another one. That one didn't work right and oh my GOSH their customer service was horrible. I ended up returning it and got a Shark. I have no experience with Roborock but will avoid Ecovacs moving forward just because of their horrible customer service.

We've had roomba, ecovacs, and Miele in the past. The Ecovacs pro Omni is my favorite. I run Miele scout about once a week for large particles dragged in from the yard. Long hair is no match for this model and it doesn't get stuck everywhere and suck up cords. It has great mapping and AI integration. I highly recommend it and the winbot.

My biggest ad is find one with excellent obstacle avoidance. If I have to pick up cords and socks 1st it’s basically useless to me. I had a deebot LiDAR but the avoidance sucked. I had to preclean the room, pick up the curtain make sure no clothes were under the bed and put all my floor outlets on the table 1st. At that point why not just use a stick vacuum
