Hi, what is your honest opinion between Ecovacs X1 as compare to Roborock S7 MaxV ULTRA?

[@AlexTeo]

@@chuayongchew6792 i talked about that at 10:40 , that's my honest opinion

[@jonathancmpoh2609]

I just received mine... and in case you need it, the total height of the dock is about 80cm but users will need about 90cm for 'airspace' to comfortably remove the tanks...

[@speedracer9132]

This is going to be a popular one! First mop bot with an onboard water tank, no more dragging dirty pads around or only going until the pad is dry

[@GKChandlerBooks]

I purchased an Electrolux Trilobite (2nd Gen) when they came out. It lasted well and has only died this year. It cost $3350 when I bought it in 2005. Its battery life was appalling, but it was well made and worked reliably for a long time. If the Omni can last as long as that I'll be delighted.

[@moltenbullet]

Man, that really reminds me that these robots have been around for quite some time. Almost 20 years, wow!

[@bryantchan9391]

Great review Alex. Super comprehensive! This is gonna be the best robot imo. Lovely feature and the hot air is the best.

[@AlexTeo]

ya hot air is really nice, kill away germs in some ways as well

Next is for them to include UV sterilization module as well 🤭

[@martinmlvig7174]

Awesome review - covers everything and even introduces innovative thinking on how to improve future models. Very well prepared!!!

[@subinmO]

As far as I can see, this model has the same software problem as the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni version. The issue is that it always puts the mops in front of the station and spins (dry or dirty) while entering the station.

[@Jcremo]

What a wonderfully comprehensive review. Thankyou so much!

[@AlexTeo]

Thx thx!

[@dc-4ever201]

As an owner of an Ecovacs Ozmo 920 (reasonably satisfied with it, though it has issues), what put me off buying the self emptying tower is that all the robot vac manufacturers have taken a step back in innovation with their towers by using disposable bags. I understand dust clouds and static holding onto dust, but there are ways around that, it seems like having paid a premium for these robo vacs 5 to 10x the cost of a premium upright vacuum cleaner if you buy the newest model, the companies want us to continue paying. On the subject of mopping they just need to make the discs wider so it cleans the edges effectively.

[@AlexTeo]

as my nose is very sensitive to dust, I actually prefer having dust bag or some new tech that won't see dust flying around

[@dc-4ever201]

@@AlexTeo Yeah having the dirt compacted or dropping out the bottom of a tray when emptying would be preferable as you empty it in the bin, the flying dust would be minimal.

[@mikkelkirketerp4884]

Most of us would prefer having bags. That way no matter where we have it, we wont make a mess

[@Jcremo]

Disposable is much safer. People have died by breathing in the mold spores and bacteria that grow in other models.

[@MinaRoy]

Super helpful video! I agree with you and hope Ecovacs comes out with a robot mop that will auto fill and drain, similar to a washing machine.

[@cra2yjoker]

Self cleaning mop is sure a must before mopping become practical with robo vacuum.. one of my concern is dragging the dirty mop along its way back to self cleaning station..

[@AlexTeo]

technically it's still mopping on the way back so not too bad, just increase the cleaning interval to the shortest if you want it to be as clean as possible

[@mihmih2129]

Thank you for the review. i think it is still rather primitive in term of the mopping function, as you rightfully pointed out that it doesn't mop all the area in the house and doesn't remove the hard stain on the floor... at the end of the day, it wont replace physical mopping... i will wait for more advance before i will buy

[@AlexTeo]

Physically mopping won't remove stains too, you will still have to go with a strong solution with a cloth and scrub hard. Robot mopping are best at running it daily to give your feet that nice clean and non sticky feel

[@ViceVersaYT]

This as well! Reason why i purchased another brand at over 50% less than this, it mops but wont be using it and also purchased the Tineco S5pro for deep scrub mopping and vacuum, both cost robot vac and tineco cost me $1000

[@ighfirlee]

@@ViceVersaYT I have the Bisell Crosswave. Arguably the best vacuum mop out there. But Im getting lazier and cant keep up with the crumb droppings of my 3 kids. I cant mop daily. At most once a week.

[@caciocavalloster]

Be aware that if you have more than 1 floor you can’t really use it to mop and vacuum other than the floor with the base unit. The robot needs to return to it during its mopping cycle to clean the mop heads and add more water. If doing that on another floor it will stop and you must bring it back to the main floor where you have the station then bring it back to the floor you were mopping. Only thing it wont resume where it left off.

[@MegaTinabee]

OMG - really? I have 3 floors...so so disappointed

[@tc1uscg65]

Great review. But from experience, as well as these robots do their jobs, it's the LONG TERM life of these devices that need addressing. After a few months of use, they start making odd noises, have software issues, etc. My first Deebot did well the first 4 months, then started making clicking noises. It's been retired to my basement which is all carpet. A short pile-type carpet. After 2 months of use there, the brush drive motor has been making a really loud whining noise that changes pitch with it backs up, and goes forward. I've done all a user can do to troubleshoot it but it's not going away. It also feels like the drive "cog" for the brush is slipping. On a flat smooth surface, it's fine. On any rug or carpet, it's very very noisy. The vac is about 2 years old now. So, in retrospect, buying one of these NEW Ecovacs units for more than $1k, buyers should be aware of these things do break and wear out. Get extended warranty coverage.

[@AlexTeo]

my first robot vacuum is like 7 years ago, I don't see them breaking down or having issues within a year. They all able to last me 2-3 years around there. As there are many moving parts, bumping here and there at times, so they are not those kind of appliance that can last you 5-10 years

[@tc1uscg65]

@@AlexTeo My vac's always did my 1st floor. About 1800 sqft of hardwood, some area rugs, and a few cat toys. They would run no less then 3 times a week and sometimes, some spot cleaning. I have a 2+ year old deebot that is grinding gears on carpet (does find on flat tile or hardwood). It's something I can't fix. I just tossed a V9000 Samsung because one of the wheel cogs got wore down and the poor thing went in circles more than a straight line. I had it doing my 2nd-floor walkway and the 4 bedrooms about 2 times a week. Every unit gets a battery change if they make more then one trip back to charge during the job. I won't even talk about having to clean the brushes, even the refuse tank and blowing the unit off once a month to ensure all the sensors are clear. So, for $1000, there is a lot to do and a lot that can go wrong with these bad boys in a short period of time if they are used for more then a 500sq ft apartment. FWIW, my house has a whole house vac system from NuTone. Been installed in 1996. I've only had to replace 1 bulb in the motorized floor unit and filters. Thats it. Don't get me wrong, these robots are cool as heck and keeps us from dragging out the 30ft hose for the whole house unit. Time saver.

[@Izaya_Orihara]

My roomba 562 is over a decade old and still runs fine. I upgraded to the J7+ and the Omni x1 recently so now it cleans my office at work. It still runs like new. You just need to take care of the robot and it will take care of your floor.

[@Quest88]

Think you should have also covered the app a bit since they did some changes. Otherwise, specs look good, but other reviews show that the circular mopping may not be better than the Roborock G10/S7Maxv's simple pad, nor as clean after self-cleaning. It looks like the X1 has the better obstacle avoidance though, and obviously better looking.

[@AlexTeo]

i didn't really see any changes on the app, besides what I covered in the video, everything pretty much the same

[@sdcoinshooter]

I disagree. I had the T8+, with the sonic pads. It did well, but my results so far with this product are much improved. The spinning pads made my floor cleaner then it has been in a long time.

Great review, love that you mention noise impressions too, so many other reviews seem to be instructed it seems by manufacturers to not touch the subject at all. As you know since you're a dog owner too, sound is important for people with pets :) I'm just a little worried getting replacement bags in the long term here in Europe. Also we tend to have quite some lime in the drinking water. Do they touch this in the manual ? Should you use demineralized water, or can you use like a 50% vinegar mix to keep the station and water channels clean ?

[@AlexTeo]

No clue about that, maybe reviews from europe youtuber will be able to give you a better insight to that :)

Thanks so much for this helpful review. So excited to see the automation of the new Deebot. I have the 950 and T8, but am constantly changing pads because I partitioned my floor into smaller areas ( like you I have issue with one small pad cleaning whole house). Can be a chore with constant changing. May I check with you regarding the hot air drying? How long does it take to dry the cleaning pad? An electrician told me anything with heat uses a lot of energy😮.

[@AlexTeo]

takes about 3 hours, no idea how much electricity is consumed, didnt measure that

[@DS-xw3qp]

I am tossing up between the Omni, the Roborock S7 VMax Ultra and the Bissell Spinwave R5. I am impressed with the Omni, but have found the company does not respond to emails that I have sent asking questions. This puts doubt In my mind regarding their after sales service. I like the spinning mops that the Omni and Bissell have. I don't really mind if it does have a self cleaning dock, as long as it carries water. I just want a reliable vacuum, that I will only use on tiles and one that maps well. I feel the spinning mops will get into the grout better than the pad, but I may be wrong. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer. I do enjoy your honest videos

[@AlexTeo]

i will suggest to go with either ecovacs or roborock, bissell is really not known for their robovac. The cleaning performance is actually very similar, nothing very special about spinning mop pads. The roborock allows you to access to the internal water tank directly, you might like that more. In terms of after sales support, I think it defers based on where you stay

Hi Alex Great review! I'm still a bit confused with the mopping pads and carpet cleaning thing. I have carpets almost in every room. If I want to vaccum and mop at the same time, can I still use Omni with the mopping pads and set the carpet areas as a forbidden zone? Or is there another way to do so without having to remove the mopping pads? TBH I'm a lazy cleaner 😇 Also, my house has 2floors. Do I need to start from the 1st floor, or Omni knows how to take the scales? I'm new in this vaccum automation life, and wonder if omni or roborock would be the best fit for me.

[@AlexTeo]

hihi, the newer generation of vacuum robots with mopping is they will avoid going up the carpets to avoid dirtying them, so basically they will just vacuum and mop on hard floors. If you want to vacuum carpets, you have to manually remove the mopping component. Roborock S7 and after has the feature to lift up the mopping by around 1cm when it detects carpet. So it depends on what kind of carpets are in your rooms, if they are low pile carpets then go for roborock as it can clean everything in 1 single cleaning session. If not, then maybe can consider getting 2 robots instead, 1 to do vacuum and 1 to do mopping. Since you have 2 floors, they can run concurrently as well

Dear Alex, thank you so much for this video. My X1 Omni arrived last night and I am currently very disappointed about the little information on the features. I am in Germany and selected German as language. The voice commands: are they listed anywhere (my impression is that it is not optimized for German). I tried to change the language back to English, but that did seem to confuse the software completely (=location Germany and language English). - I have a delicate carpet that he should not mop with water and I just cannot find a way how to tell the robot not to go there, nor can I find in the app how to install a "no-go" zone - let alone what the command would be in German (which I seem to be stuck with). I also have a 4 year old Xiaomi and I must say that the mapping functionality, no-go zone drawing was very intutitive, I never needed any manual. - Now, I feel helpless after spending a long time trying to find how to define the no-go zone without any success - If anyone out there can help, I would be very very happy and grateful!

[@MegaTinabee]

I am sorry, I had fast forwared to the special features instead of watching your entire video - so MY problem is actually solved by the machine being more intellligent than I had expected -it will not mop the carpet with water - perfect. - The other issue that someoene else mentioned: when you have more than one floor to mop (wet): we have to return it to the dock, but apparently it cannot "resume" where it left off - I have not tried it yet - but I hope there is a way to circumvent this issue (buy more docking stations...?)

(Read this issue somewhere too) Also, do you have any thoughts on whether is it a drawback that the water tank isn't detachable from the vaccum? I'm wondering if I should wait for the next gen of this vacuum but actually need one quite urgently, to replace my spoilt, really cheap one

[@AlexTeo]

my experience with the support is good, but maybe because I had special treatment. how to fill up the water tank if it's not dock properly? no drawback imo that it isn't detachable. Similar concept to an iron

[@sharonn9991]

@@AlexTeo waaah... special treatment is good! 😄😄 I'm also wondering if most of the negative reviews are from other countries (maybe poorer customer service in the US for example. They tend to prefer Roborock but I can't get past its looks 😆). Oh wells. thanks for your response! Good to know you still like this robot.. gives me some confidence in it.

[@AlexTeo]

@@sharonn9991 ya haa, but more companies will follow and come out with these kind of all-in-1 station

[@DS-xw3qp]

I have had trouble with ecovacs replying to me I have sent several emails, plus messages through Facebook asking questions. They have not responded once. I am very concerned that if they won't help a potential customer, how will their after sales service be. This has put me off buying one of their products, which really sucks, because I think they are great

[@kelvinng1212]

Hi Alex. Thks for the great info. Can X1 integrate with SmartThings?

[@AlexTeo]

Nope, most of the things you want to do will always have to go back to the ecovacs app

[@lowpekyee2405]

Hi Alex, may i know does this x1 omni used up alot of electricity? And how many hours it will take to charge up. Thank you so much for the nice video review.

[@AlexTeo]

sorry didn't pay attention to the power consumption of it, can't advise

[@XReddevilsX3]

Thanks for the review. Any chance u will be reviewing Roidmi Eva and Roborock s7max ultra?

[@AlexTeo]

Let me think about it, i'm more interested to check out the one from xiaomi

[@coach.jaytee]

I bought it on the 25th during their launch sale and was waiting for your review! Glad to know you have good comments about it 👍🏻 excited to use it soon!

Thanks Alex. Is there a feature to choose floor. Like to take the unit upstairs and set floor one ? Then take it back to the charging station in G floor ?

no need to set anything, the robot is intelligent to scan and detect where it is and clean accordingly to the map that is mapped out

[@gabriellim2293]

How does the mopping compare to a Dreame W10? Great review as you are tempting me to sell my Dreame and get this instead...

[@AlexTeo]

I am currently testing the W10 haa.. the mopping is good but other areas not so. If you already have another robot to do vacuum and w10 to do mopping then probably stick with this setup

[@AshishSharma0709]

How does this or any other robot works while running on vaccum mode and it encounters wet areas like dog's drools or splashes of water??

[@AlexTeo]

typically robots will just mop over it

[@noprob7820]

can this be used with normal detergent mixed in the clean water tank?

[@AlexTeo]

Nope, some detergent are too strong and will clog the internal pipes

[@sdcoinshooter]

I have had mine one week, and absolutely love it! It is about as close to perfect as is available today. The ONLY thing I wish is it would vacuum, then mop without me having to add the mopping pads; (The manual says for best results vacuum without the pads installed). Still, a fantastic product

[@user-en9tf8ne2w]

Any updates? Still working well for you?

[@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537]

What do you mean? So the vacuum is not work if you didn’t removed the mop pad?

[@sdcoinshooter]

@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 The manual states for best vacuuming you should remove the mop pads. So, if you want to vacuum AND mop, you must run the machine in vacuum mode, then when it is complete and returns to the docking station, install the mopping pads and run the machine again. There is no provision in the Ecovacs for identifying carpet when mopping. So, when in mopping mode I had to either pick up my rugs (only a couple small ones) or identify them in the app as a no-go zone; you don’t want the machine mopping over your carpet. With the Roborock, if you want to vacuum and mop, you are able to do it in one run. The machine will vacuum the floor from the front and mop from the rear at the same time. If it comes to carpet or a rug, then the mopping pad is withdrawn in to the machine and it will only vacuum, then when back on the hard floor the mopping pad is extended and it continues to vacuum and mop. This is a HUGE advantage in my opinion over the Ecovacs. Not only does it only take one run to complete both vacuuming and mopping, but it also saves the hassle of picking up the rugs in my house or identifying them in the app as a no-go zone before every mopping run. Just my opinion, but it was a big enough of a deal for me to sell my Ecovacs and purchase the Roborock. I am very very happy with that decision.

[@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537]

Wow thank you so much for your time to reply and for the information as well. I still confused doesn’t know which one to decide, since the price ain’t cheap, I really need time to review and collect many information as much as I can. Both ecovacs or roborox- they actually doesn’t spray water right? They only using wet pad to mop. No water spray to the floor like other robot vacuum?

[@sdcoinshooter]

@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 That is correct, the Ecovacs has two rotating brushes that get wet and scrub the floor, the Roborock has a vibrating mop pad that gets wet from the machine. If you want one that sprays water and then mops the only one that I know is the IRobot M6 (but it doesn’t have a vacuum).

[@lifern1437]

Alex, I just watched this video (which is from a year ago). Any updates on such very good vacuum and mop self cleaning machines? Btw, really like your videos!❤

[@danielquake2224]

Hey Alex! Great content! Quick advice - for auto cleaning mop tank + dust tank, which brands n models would u shortlist? Does suction & battery power matter to u for such bots?

[@AlexTeo]

ecovacs x1 omni, roborock maxvultra and xiaomi these 3. Suction minimum around 3k is enough, battery power not a concern for me

[@danielquake2224]

How should i decide between ur top 3 here 😅 apart from price...

[@AlexTeo]

@@danielquake2224 if you like hot air blow dry then ecovacs, if you like mop lifting to vacuum carpet then roborock. If you just like it cheap with no warranty then xiaomi

[@AlexTeo]

Thx thx, Unlikely that i am able to get hold of one

was never keen on getting a robot mop but after watching your review, I'm tempted! 😂 in your robot vacuum comparison, you mentioned you would personally choose Samsung jetbot, just wondering if this has now replace that in your own home?

[@AlexTeo]

ya i will choose an all-in-one, some people will prefer to go with 2 robots in the house 1 for vacuum 1 for mop some redundancy in case 1 fail

[@gnsirk]

@@AlexTeo can I ask where do you house your eco vac X1 omni base station? love how in your video, you put it in the yard, but I was looking at the instruction manual and read that it requires quite a large allowance (0.5m on each side) at the sides and in front of the station. wondering if you had any issues (e.g robot not able to return to station) if you don't follow the advice for giving the allowance at the sides? thanks for any tips!

[@AlexTeo]

@@gnsirk of course product management will set these guidelines to protect themselves, but it still works and no issues of the robot not being able to return to dock. I put it in the service yard as shown in the vid, I only put it in a room for filming purpose

Hello. There was someone complaining on an Amazon review that this robot is unable to clean under furniture. Can you tell me something about this? There's a time in your video I see it going under your bed, so that left me confused about the validity of the referred review. Thanks!

Dock is located in a carpet area (second floor) how I can send the robot to mop the bathroom? Do I need to manually put the robot inside the bathroom?

i will suggest to change the dock location, manually carrying the robot to a random spot will make it difficult for the robot to identify where it is
