X5 Pro Omni

I have just jumped ship from Ecovacs to Dreame last week, switching from a genuinely cursed X5 Omni Pro to the Matrix10 Ultra. Considering Ecovacs positions the X series as “flagship” models, and with the spring discount the Matrix10 was in the same price bracket, they are WORLDS APART. Daisy (the Matrix10) is far more powerful yet much quieter. She cleans right to the edges and corners, doesn’t hallucinate entire rooms or randomly decide the map layout should be at a jaunty angle, she doesn’t pretend she can’t see right or do infinite donuts in the hallway, and everything about her cleaning strategies and navigation is better in every conceivable way. I no longer worry about what psychosis my potentially murderous robot will have today, and the cleaning is excellent. Do not delay. Your Ecovacs is probably plotting your demise right now.

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 started with the T20, still going at our cabin upstairs, X5 got moved to our cabin main floor, gave my X9 to my daughter since they have a dog, X11 at my main home. Everyone is running perfectly. Of course the X11 does the best cleaning.

I've got a Deebot X5 Omni. Does both those things. Mop function isn't great but it'll save you having to do it as often as you are.

why everyone say that ecovacs sucks?!

Yeah ecovacs isn't the most good but It isn't too bad i have the X5

I had my Dreame L10 Pro brick itself on a firmware update well outside of warranty period. So i've gone the opposite to you and very recently (two days ago) picked up a refurbished X5 Pro Omni for a few hundred bucks. I liked my Dreame overall. it was pretty intentional with navigation and the front side obstacle avoidance was pretty great. I've found the ecovacs having it's lidar lower down as been better for my house as the dreame lidar tends to be above my skirting boards, which means it was sometimes confused about where the wall is in space - bumping in to it before getting itself lined up. It's fairly quiet as well. Having it brick itself has left a sour taste and hence my move to consider anyone but Dreame. The ecovacs app is similarly functional, maybe a bit better with the AI features. Bot overall it does seem a bit less mature. The app is not as polished. the mechanical sounds are a bit more course. It's general navigation is a bit relaxed in some cases, taking shortcuts around odd edges. In other instances it would put it's square side right into a corner or back the extended mop into a corner which is good. I'm happy with the ecovacs value, If I were going the other way, I imagine I would like the equivalent X8 Omni from Dreame as well. A bit expensive, but Dreame seems a little bit ore polished in every way - seems they know it and make you pay for it (In Australia at least)

I don't know the other two because I haven't had them. But I have had ecovacs, and I absolutely do not recommend them. It's a waste of money. Influencers pay and this is how they made a name for themselves... but I went crazy with my X5 omni.

As someone with carpet in their home and many pets. I've found that my DEEBOT X5 does as good a job as my corded vac did. The self empty cycle only runs after the vac has completed its run and I've never had it empty multiple times during a run. And bear in mind the X5 doesn't have a big dustbin The suction these days especially on newer vacs has reached cordless level. Eufy even have a robovac that has a detachable module that lets you turn it into a cordless vac

I'm on deebot x11 unit number 4. All have failed with "navigation module malfunction". Two of the 4 wouldn't even map a floor (around 2500 ish sq ft) right out of the box. The first one I bought in September of 2025 and it lasted until mid December when I started getting the navigation module errors. Now i've received 3 within the last week and 2 would not even map the same floor the previous unit did. 4th one mapped the floor and ran for right around an hour before i got the "navigation module malfunction". Take it with a grain of salt. I've had the X2 (lasted for almost 2 years before the navigation module malfunction happened in december of 2025. Deebot x5 which was DOA right out of the box preordered. Then the X8 which was replaced once under warranty and failed in around 4 months. X11 is just taking the cake with 3 units that can't even run a full floor without malfunctioning. I'll never buy another ecovac even if they gave it to me for free.

Had x11 for 3 months. Worked flawlessly during that time. Then came the bad times. Navigation module malfunction coupled with "The main brush is tangled". Go to check and its sitting in the middle of an open floor and nothing on the brush. I contacted support and got a replacement here this past week. New one out of the box and it ran for 30 seconds until I got "navigation module malfunction". Tried every setting on the app including a full wipe and reboot and nothing. Just for kicks I ordered 2 more off amazon as its easier to return them so I have had a total of 4 of them now. The next 2 came in this past week and out of those 2 one was also unable to map the floor. Second one the amazon ones mapped the floor so I thought yes a working one but 30-40 minutes in can you guess it "navigation module malfunction". So now every single one is going back. I asked customer support about maybe bad firmware but all they want to do is send me a replacement unit but i'm done at 4. Refunding the one I got last year and that will just leave my old x8 I bought in feb of last year left (funny enough I had to replace that one too can you guess it for "navigation module malfunction". The X11 i've found at the bottom of my landing which is 3 steps and marked on the map as a no go zone so I imagine it flipping ass over teakettle probably isn't doing it any favors either. To recap i've owned the X2 (lasted 2 years until I had some weird thing happen where it lost connection and could no longer connect anymore), the X5 (albatross that lasted for basically a day with "navigation module malfunction"), the X8 (1 warranty replacement), and the X11 (4 brand new units). Once my X8 gives out I am out of the Ecovac ecosystem and would not reenter it even if they sent me one for free thats how much hassle its been. I bet you i've spent $250.00 in gas bringing these POS's back to the post office to return. Just my 2 cents for what its worth. Here's a picture of it after it sent me a message saying it was trapped. Looks trapped to me don't it? :) https://preview.redd.it/y02fgduunmdg1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0480d8abde93a7c1198459045d4950fe132d198

It depends on your need, I have been using one from ECOVACS

The dust collection box for Pro will not be needed to be emptied for at least 3-5 months.. if that’s not a big task then go for lower version.. N30 white.

Ok so I have bought 3 robovacs in the last month. a cheap roborock with no dock, a j15 ultra and a ecovacs omni. By far the best mapping was roborock. But the other two vacs are better as they mop and have docks. The eureka j15 pro ultra is the best but the ecovacs isn't much worse for half the price. I paid 250 for the roborock, 650 for the ecovacs and 1200 for the eureka j15. My favourite is the j15 pro ultra and its not much different to the j15 ultra going for 900 now. The battery lasts way longer than the ecovacs omni but both do about the same level of cleaning. I run both mine twice a day just to see how they go and my floors have never been cleaner, whatever way you go a robot vac is awesome. Just schedule in and it cleans, best m9ney I've spent in a while. And yes I do need a couple as I have a large house. This is australia pricing aswell and I bought on the Amazon sales so they were cheap.
