The first is the fact that its not great with mopping edges.
That said, its still very good.
And, despite its hefty price tag, you’ll probably see it discounted regularly.

It also needs a little more regular maintenance.
However, its much more affordable at $699.99 / AU$1,099 (about 550).
Worth noting is that the base station has self-emptying capabilities as well as auto mop pad washing and drying.
Also, the brush roll is completely made of silicon with fins that keep it from having tangle-related issues.
Speaking of object avoidance, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni has the best Ive seen.
Selecting controls, such as vacuum or mop only, levels of cleaning, etc.
is literally just a swipe up.
Every room will be automatically separated and all you have to do is rename them.
Still, there are plenty of other features available through the app.
It even has a mic that you’re able to access to talk to someone in the house.
While thats very good for a robot vacuum, thats on the lowest setting.
Vacuuming and mopping at the same time will bring that maximum runtime down to 161 minutes.
Should you buy the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni robot vacuum?
If you want a fully featured experience, this robot vacuum offers it.
There are plenty of great alternatives if youre on a budget.

Unfortunately, only a few companies have good workarounds.
However, it doesnt look quite as interesting and doesnt come with cleaning solution.
I also tested all the features listed in the app, from mapping to scheduling.

I took note of how well the vacuum cleaned the edges of a room as well as around obstacles.
