Unfortunatley I agree. I had an issue with x8 Omni where it wasn’t emptying the dustbin, and the support agent didn’t give me a solution and blocked all path to escalate. I’m now back to the old machine that I was planning to replace
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
Got it and gave it a try, feels pretty good. The roller mop definitely cleans a bit better than my old one.
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.
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 think it really depends on personal preference. I mainly cared about the mopping, so I got the deebot x8 earlier this year. Some people don’t like it, but it’s been pretty good for me. I usually run it about three times a week, more if I’ve got time. Way better than my old one that just spread the dirt around. This one uses fresh water, so it actually cleans and doesn’t leave marks.
My wife wasn't happy when I bought the deebot x8, but after using it for 2 months, she stopped complaining about it. Now she's the one turning it on all the time lol. I'd say just give it a try if it fits your budget.
Hi everyone, I’ve been following this subreddit for some time and read a lot of reviews and opinions about many robots. After doing my research, I bought the Mova V50. My current robot is the Ecovacs X8 Omni Pro. After trying the V50, I was positively surprised by the vacuum performance. The obstacle avoidance is clearly better, and it’s very quiet, especially in mopping mode. However, the mopping performance disappointed me a lot. My old (and hated) X8 can mop much better and clean deeper. Also, the total cleaning time—vacuum then mop—took almost 3 hours for an 80 m² apartment, which I think is too long. Another issue: the V50 mapped almost half of my kitchen as carpet, even though there was 30-40 cm of bare floor between the wall and the actual carpet. I’ll test my V50 for some more time and maybe exchange it for the Mova Z60 or Ecovacs X11, which has the same mopping method. I don’t know why, but I see an overall hate for Ecovacs in this subreddit. So for this reason can’t be sure with a new Ecovacs product:) But to be honest I’m questioning here for a while whether this hate is fair or not. Has anyone had a similar experience with the Mova V50? Or is it only me having these mopping and mapping issues? Thanks
For me, mopping performance is the top. That’s why I got Ecovacs X8 pro omni. The roller mop cleans itself as it goes, won't spread or smear dirt around. It has been great for quickly cleaning up after my cat’s messes. No need to deal with brushes, wash mops, or empty the dustbin frequently. I spend my money to free up my hands, and enjoy a thoroughly cleaned floor.
I think checking out user reviews video might help you better to decide which robot to get. The deebot x8 I have at home, I also tried it out for a while after buying it, and it worked well, so I've just been using it ever since.
There are many solid vacuum+mop combo robots now, usually controlled in its app, might check bigger brands like Ecovacs or Roborock, they usually have long-term stability and support. I'm using a deebot x8, it picks up hair on carpets smoothly, and dirty marks can be removed well by its roller mop.
I got the x8 and I really like the roller mop. It keeps self-cleaning when mopping, it doesn't spread dirt or wet stains around, that's my favorite part. It also dries very fast and doesn't leave water streaks. So if you're looking for a good mopping performance, I think the roller mop is worth the shot.
I’ve got one I’m using right now, the x8 pro omni from ecovacs. Honestly, it’s solid and does everything I need for cleaning at home. I really like that it has a roller mop that cleans itself while mopping, so the floor doesn’t just get dirtier. The vacuuming and other features work well too.
I haven’t seen many good reviews of irobot here, and it doesn’t seem that many people use it. I use an ecovacs deebot myself, and if you’re not in a rush, the X8 pro omni might be worth a look. I’ve had it for a few months and it’s been really reliable so far.
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.
If there’s a lot of hair around, cleaning once a week maybe hard to cut it. I’ve got pets, so I usually end up doing a full vacuum and mop like two or three times a week. I use a roller mop (deebot x8), and honestly it can clean while you mop, which gives a really deep clean.
If you’re planning to use the robovac upstairs, you’ll probably need to bring the base station up too, most models have to return to it to wash the mop or empty the bin mid-clean. Mopping’s basically standard now anyway, so that’s no issue. There are quite a few budget-friendly options that mop well and deal with short hair easily. I think the deebot x8 I’m using works solid on that too. And it’s honestly pretty affordable. Overall, I’d just suggest going for something that vacuums well, can handle carpets, and make sure you’re okay moving the base upstairs when needed.
I feel like the earliest roller mop probably keep more of their original strengths. Imo, the Ecovacs X8 still seems like a practical choice. For basic cleaning, it hasn’t shown that kind of issue you mentioned so far. And if you can grab a good black friday discount, I think it’s a great deal.
I have Ecovacs N8 plus (aging, about to retire), N30 and X8 in two floors. Pretty happy with product and support network in Kochi. Their customer care is quick, whatsapp responses immediately and resolution are within a day itself. And they are served by Frootle, which got a shop+service center in Kakkanad. Overall, highly recommended
