Here’s how it fared during our hands-on review.

Design & Build Quality
The first thing we noticed was the square design—a departure from the typical round shape found in most robot vacuums like the Roomba i3+ EVO or the Dreametech Z10 Pro. This unique design is not just aesthetic; it helps the Deebot X2 Omni clean corners more effectively. The build quality is top-notch, with a modern matte finish that gives it a premium look and feel.
- Square design for better corner cleaning
- Matte, premium finish
- Slim profile to reach under furniture
- Comparisons: Sturdier than Eufy RoboVac 11S and more stylish than the Neato D10‘s standard design
Cleaning Performance
In terms of cleaning power, the X2 Omni boasts an impressive 8,000 Pa suction, making it one of the strongest we’ve tested. It easily handled carpets, hardwood, and tile, removing dirt and pet hair with no issues. The vacuum also has a mop function that uses rotating pads to scrub floors, making it ideal for homes with both carpets and hard surfaces.
- 8,000 Pa suction power
- Effective on carpets, hardwood, and tile
- Rotating mop pads for better scrubbing
- Comparisons: Far stronger than the Roomba j7+ (which sits at 2,500 Pa) and even more powerful than the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, which is known for its solid suction.
Mopping Feature
One of the standout features of the Deebot X2 Omni is its mopping system. Ecovacs integrated dual rotating mops that are capable of scrubbing the floors rather than just dragging a damp pad across them. This makes a noticeable difference, especially when dealing with sticky spills or stubborn dirt. The auto-lifting mop feature also prevents carpets from getting wet.
- Dual rotating mops for better scrubbing
- Auto-lifting mop to protect carpets
- Water refill and mop cleaning station
- Comparisons: It outperforms the Shark AI Ultra‘s mopping system and is comparable to the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra with its auto-lifting mop feature.
Self-Cleaning and Auto-Emptying
We were particularly impressed with the Omni Station, which handles both auto-emptying and self-cleaning. The dock not only empties the dustbin but also cleans the mop pads and refills the water tank for the mopping feature. This level of hands-free operation is a game-changer for anyone who doesn’t want to spend time maintaining their robot vacuum regularly.
- Omni Station for auto-emptying and self-cleaning
- Hands-free operation for up to 60 days
- Comparisons: Similar functionality to the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, but slightly more advanced in terms of self-cleaning.
Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance
The AIVI 3D navigation system is incredibly advanced, using both LIDAR and AI to map out your home and avoid obstacles in real-time. We found that it easily navigated around furniture, shoes, and other small objects without getting stuck. The X2 Omni also remembers multiple floor layouts, which makes it a great choice for multi-level homes.
- AIVI 3D navigation system
- LIDAR and AI for precise mapping and obstacle avoidance
- Multi-floor mapping support
- Comparisons: More advanced than the iRobot Roomba i7+, and on par with the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ for obstacle avoidance.
Battery Life & Charging
The battery life on the Deebot X2 Omni is robust, offering up to 180 minutes of runtime on a single charge. This is more than enough to clean large homes in one go, and if it runs low on power, it automatically returns to the docking station, recharges, and resumes cleaning from where it left off.
- Up to 180 minutes of battery life
- Auto recharge and resume functionality
- Comparisons: Longer runtime than the Roomba i3+ EVO, and comparable to the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Smart Home Integration
The Deebot X2 Omni integrates with all the usual suspects like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri. It’s easy to set up voice commands and schedule cleanings through the app. The Ecovacs app itself is intuitive and offers plenty of customization, from setting no-go zones to scheduling different cleaning modes for various parts of your home.
- Works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri
- Intuitive app with a range of customization options
- Comparisons: Similar smart home integration as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, and better app usability than some older models like the Neato Botvac D7.
Price & Value
Priced in the premium range, the Deebot X2 Omni is an investment, but one that pays off in terms of features and performance. While it’s more expensive than mid-range options like the Eufy RoboVac G30 or Neato D8, its advanced navigation, cleaning power, and hands-free maintenance make it a worthwhile purchase for those looking for a top-tier robot vacuum.
- Premium price point
- Justified by advanced features and powerful performance
- Comparisons: More expensive than the Roomba i7+, but offers more advanced features and superior value.
Final Verdict
Overall Rating: 9/10
After our thorough review, it’s clear that the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is a top-tier robot vacuum that excels in every major area, from cleaning power to smart navigation and hands-free maintenance. While it competes closely with models like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and iRobot Roomba j7+, the X2 Omni sets itself apart with its unique square design and powerful suction. If you’re looking for a premium robot vacuum that requires minimal upkeep and delivers exceptional cleaning, the Deebot X2 Omni is a fantastic choice.
