ECOVACS - X8 Omni

Yep the S1 made me see that mopping had finally caught up, but I ended up going with the Deebot X8 Omni (Both using the roller) instead both are great but we needed a good vacuum too for carpets and the Deebot excels at it over the S1. it's so nice to come home to a vacuumed and wonderfully mopped home.

>I’m new to the robot vacuum world, but The Eufy S1 Pro seems to have a good system for mopping but lacks a bit with deep cleaning carpets. Thats why I went with the Deebot X8 Omni. Better vacuum performance, and roller mop is on par. If we had all tiling though, I'd go for the S1 purely on price alone.

Hmmm. Next best would be Ecovacs X8 or X9 on sale, or Mova Z50.

Likely both would have been a solid choice (can‘t say about the downforce, but reviewers like vacuumwars never mentioned it). The Z50 has a wider (roller)/track, which is better than on the X8/X9, so probably the better choice, especially if the other guy says it has more downforce (+36C warm mop washing during cleaning)

What’s the feature you care about most? I think it really depends on that since there are so many options out there. For me, I need mopping function, so I went with the ecovacs x8 with the roller mop.

I agree with the other comments, it won't get into the grooves but it can definitely clean the tiles. With tiles like these, I suggest vacuuming first and then mopping so the dust in the grooves doesn't turn into a mess. I got the x8 from ecovacs and it's been working well for me, worth checking out.

I've used the dustbin on the x8 for few days, at least I don’t have to clean it all the time. The roller mop is softer than a traditional hard bristle mop, so it’s less likely to scratch your tile floors, hope this helps and gives you some useful reference if you need it.

I did't use old robovac much but my deebot x8 works well on dodging things. When it get close to my cable, it pauses briefly and then bypasses. It should get a little closer to the obstacle imo, but still, got nothing to complain.

Vacuuming: Mova V50 > Mova Z60 > eufy E25 or E28 or Narwal Flow > Mova Z50 > Ecovacs Deebot X8 or T80 / Yeedi S14 > Ecovacs Deebot X9. Mopping: Mova Z60 or Ecovacs Deebot X8, X9, or T80 / Yeedi S14 > Mova Z50 > eufy E25 or E28 > Narwal Flow > Mova V50.

Like you, I was torn between Roborock and Dreame. But I ended up choosing the Ecovacs X8 because I was really drawn to its roller mop, haha.

Honestly, without carpets, good mopping is a must. The cat hair in my place is next level, it's everywhere, floors, clothes, you name it. What I do is run my deebot x8 first to vacuum it all up, check if it's clean enough, then go in with the mop.

Ecovacs X8 was a deception for a crazy expensive $1200 robot (ended to be returned because of mapping). Didnt had time to test battery once i was able to see the mapping proccedure didnt fullfiled my standards but gave the perception wasnt good either (the return was made 24h after) I ended with Roborock Qrevo Master (i believe on discount at this moment $800) and it does preform really good, app and maps much better (not perfect), battery life good enough. Both will have problems to recognize low profile furniture fixtures (like legs made of stainless steel tubes) and it will try to climb over it either way (never understood what brands claming that such vaccums has capability to avoid this issues) Anyway, happier with Roborocks comparing to any other brand This is my 3rd Roborock and I have tried to switch brands but its a no no when i try to switch to another one

I think there is more like a suitable robovac than a perfect one. I dont know much about other brand but I am currently using Ecovacs and its been good. If you have more wet stains, you can check out Ecovacs X8 for its self-cleaning roller mops. If you want the robovac to deep clean your rug as well, the new T50 PRO MAX has great suction and carper recognition.

Well according to Vacuumwars's video review, X8 is actually a good one. Its now ranking #1 on Vacuum war's top 20 list, and Narwal Flow has no real solid reviews yet.

For spit up stains, I would say def go with a self-cleaning roller mop type, you wouldn't want the spinning mop to spread everything around. I have ecovacs x8 and it works fine. But I would raise the water flow rate for dried stains. I heard x9 will be available soon, it can auto lift the brushes and mop. Eufy e25 and e28 is also highly recommended, maybe wait for those latest models.

Ecovacs x8 works for me. I like how the mop cleans itself while mopping. I moved my chairs and picked things up for it when it mapped, but sometimes I leave things where they are on regular daily cleaning, no bumping issues.

I've already ordered the X8, and it's on the way. But I did check out a video before i got it, and hope it can help you too:) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRa2SR4EJtw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRa2SR4EJtw)

I checked out Eufy S1 before, but ended up having an Ecovacs X8. I've been using it for two weeks now. It works well on picking up hair and does not tangle with long hair. Haven't changed the dust bag yet, I think it might last up to 1 or 2 months.

My s5 is running the upstairs.. X8 omni - is .. such a precious princess a bit of cobweb on the sensors and it starts running in circles - needs a lot of babysitting.. While the S5 just eats poop and continues running through everything - yeah I washed it and it still runs more reliable than x8 omni .. I wish I went with xiaomi :/ Yeah ecovacs it’a really great - until it isn’t - took me a month and now I can’t return it.. If it starts running in circles - you’ll know

Same boat. I just got a deebot with roller mop during prime day, my x8 cleans efficiently, and with its moving water mopping feature, I think it's a good fit for a less carpet family.

I use mine almost every day to deal with my dog’s hair, it picks up the fur first and then does the mopping. Mine’s the deebot x8 with the roller mop, and it can wash the mop in real time on its own.

My cat’s a little shy, so she just watches the robot from a safe corner. I’m using the ecovacs x8 and it's been great, it picks up all her hair and does a solid job mopping the floors too.

After comparing eufy S1 pro and Ecovacs X8, I decided to go with the x8. I have two cats and the x8 has no problem picking up cat hairs, works well on both hardwood floor and carpets. The mopping is good too, it doesn't leave any noticeable water marks. Maybe this review can help: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwbTSjhMq9s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwbTSjhMq9s)

I have two cats and I have a ecovacs X8. It picks up the cat hairs well and does not tangled on the brush. I set it to run daily so I can enjoy a much cleaner floor. I don't think soap is suitable for robovacs. The ecovacs cleaning solution is also nice, it could last up to 3 months.

Got it and gave it a try, feels pretty good. The roller mop definitely cleans a bit better than my old one.

We had an X1 Omni for two years, and overall it was an adequate vacuum. My main complaints at the time: - The app or robot would ‘forget’ the map randomly, and I couldn’t backup/restore at that time. Backup and restoring was eventually added. - The docks mop cleaning ‘deck’ wasn’t removable, so cleaning was a huge pain. It would also have a drainage issue occasionally. - The robot had weird navigation quirks. For example, if there were two ways to get to a target cleaning zone, and it went one way that was blocked, it wouldn’t try and go around the other way. Instead it wouldn’t just dance around for ten minutes and then error out. Very frustrating. - The spinning mop pads weren’t very effective (not an Ecovacs specific complaint IMO). -Main and side brushes would tangle constantly. Last month we purchased the X8 Omni (while it was on sale), and it’s a significant improvement over the X1, with basically all my complaints remedied with design changes and improvements. The navigation can still be a little quirky, but this one seems to actually adapt if it can’t find its way to its target zone, and the obstacle avoidance (for us) is excellent. The old X1 would just spin around endlessly and then say it couldn’t get to its area. The new roller mop is SIGNIFICANTLY better, and the floors actually look clean after it’s used. We’ve only had it for a few weeks though, so my opinion is subject to change if this thing takes a dive, but so far we’re impressed with the new one. For comparison, I was considering waiting for the new MOVA or Narwal with the rolling mops (the main feature I wanted), but those weren’t available in the US yet.

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. 

Roller mops hands down. Are there some screwed up roller mops? You bet! Eufy S1, E28 and E25 are great. So are the Ecovacs roller mops.

I live by mine. Deebot with self emptying. Has full map and Lidar so barely gets caught. Starts when I leave home and when I return it docks and empties. I barely see it.
