When there’s so many new and cool things in a product, where do you start? Is it with the strongest suction ever in a robot vacuum? Maybe it’s the unusual shape. Faster auto-emptying? Longer runtime? … there’s more! That’s the story behind the all new Ecovacs Deebot X2 OMNI.

In this review I’m going to take a look at the new ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI, I’ll show you the more than TEN new or upgraded features you’ll be getting including way better suction, and improved design and new shape, I’ll test out how well it cleans (*I will also test this out by adding some new challenges to my typical array of robot vacuum tests…!)
To wrap I’ll go over the pros and cons to see if this vacuum is something you think you should add to your home.
I have long been a fan of Ecovacs vacuums because they work extremely well, operate entirely bug free, and the company keeps innovating and making its robots smarter with every new device. That's why I would like to thank Ecovacs for sponsoring this post, since their support is helping me keep the blog and the UA-cam channel running so for that I am very grateful. Though they are paying for my time, they have not told me what I have to say and what I can’t say and I got to test the bot however I wanted to, so these thoughts are all my own.
What you get
Wha do you get with the ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI? This is a dual vacuum and mopping robot that can also empty its own dustbin, and wash and dry its scrubbing mopping pads with hot water and hot air.
What’s new?
There is a lot to cover here when it comes to what’s new. So I’m going to break this down into a kind of Top 10 list.
1. New (old) shape
There are a couple of notable differences in terms of the aesthetics, but when it comes to the shape, this is more than just straightening a few curves. ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI goes back to robot vacuum roots by squaring off the front of the bot, and that helps with two things; First, allows it to handle corners and edges a lot better. Second thing that squoval shape does is actually number two on our list…
2. Wider Roller Brush
ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI has a wider roller brush underneath-now 20 cm long or nearly 8-inches, which should allow it to pick up more dust and debris in a single pass. In fact, ECOVACS says it should pick up nearly 20-percent more debris at once (as compared to the X1 model). We will fact check this in the cleaning tests coming up.
3. More compact base station
Ecovacs did a bit of a redesign on the Omni station. They have slimmed it down and shortened it slightly, particularly when compared to the X1 version or the T20 OMNI. Other changes to the base station are things you won't notice and that brings us to item number five…
4. Streamlined design touches
The overall design of this floor bot seems to push it towards minimalist look and I think it looks fantastic
5. Slimmer vacuum for tight spaces
Ecovacs keeps the downsizing theme going with a shorter robot vacuum profile; the bot itself is designed to be able to get under lower furniture , standing just about 95 mm or about 3.5-inches tall, and with no more lighthouse on top like the X1, it’s far less likely to get caught on things when it’s cleaning.
6. Stronger suction
The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI now has an astounding 8,000 pascals of suction-ECOVACS calls it Hurricane Power; in some cases that's at least double and up to three and four times as powerful as most other vacuum robots, and it’s up even from the substantial 5,000 pa on the X1.
7. Faster auto-emptying
That leads me to number SEVEN on our list… And that is quicker auto emptying. The new ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI can empty a full dustbin in about 10 seconds-I timed it!- which is about half the time of many other competitors.
8. Removable tray
The mopping tray is now removable for cleaning.

8. The tray in the base of the cleaning station is also now removable for a more thorough cleaning every so often.
9. Longer runtime
This new robot also has substantially increased its runtime, with up to over 210 minutes of run time on low power in vacuum only mode.
10. S-shaped scrubbing & best in class mop-lifting
There's yet another excellent feature I'm looking forward to putting into practice; it has what's called deep scrubbing option which is where the robot will move more in an S-shaped fashion, wiggling it's mopping pads back-and-forth across your floor to give it even better scrubbing capabilities.
