ECOVACS’ newest floor bot can vacuum and mop, and clean itself too, and now there’s another handy new feature in the ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 COMBO: an extra handheld vacuum, perfect for cleaning your car or small spaces. In this review I’m going to try out the newest Deebot in my home as part of my spring cleaning regimen. I’ll show you what it can do, test how well it cleans on the floors and everywhere else. I’ll go over the pros and cos and let you know if I think I can recommend it to you.

I’d also like to thank ECOVACS for being an ongoing sponsor of the blog and the KZbin channel. While they are paying for my time here, they have not told me what I have to say or what I can’t say about the new X2 Combo, and I got to test it as I wanted to. So these thoughts are 100% mine.
What you get: ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 COMBO
The all new ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 COMBO not only adds some new cleaning features, it’s improved on the robot vac-mop too.
In a nut shell, The all-new DEEBOT X2 COMBO combines the hands-free convenience of a nearly autonomous robot vacuum and mop, with the flexibility of a handheld vacuum.
You can also upgrade to the DEEBOT X2 COMBO COMPLETE, which includes additional accessories that convert the hand vac into a full-sized stick vacuum.
SoundUp/SUP VO 4 + gfx: 8,700 pascals
The ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 COMBO has an impressive 8,700 pascals of suction-which can be double and up to three and four times as powerful as most other vacuum robots, and it’s up even from the substantial 8,000 pa on the previous X2.
This should mean it will do an even better job of suctioning nearly every thing from your floors. We’ll check out what it can do in my cleaning tests, coming up.
Let’s unbox it to get a closer look…
There’s a few components in here; first and most importantly is the DEEBOT X2 robot. This D-shaped bot has a squared front for getting closer to baseboards and edges. Underneath, a corner brush and roller brush inhale dust and dirt, while two rotating mopping pads wash the floor.
Also in the box is a handheld vacuum. Three brushes come with the handheld; a flat dusting brush, a mini motorized brush, and a crevice tool.
The all-in-one OMNI station is the biggest component and this is base camp for your bot. Inside the OMNI station is where your bot will empty its own dustbin, then wash and dry the mopping pads. Two large tanks under the lid hold clean water and dirty water.
There’s also the power cord, extra vacuum bags and a small ramp for DEEBOT to get to its garage.
How it all comes together is pretty cool: the robot parks under the ONMI station and just above that is where the dustbin auto-empties into a sealed bag. To the right is where you can dock your handheld vacuum. The dock will automatically empty the handheld for you too after every use, and it keeps it fully charged.
Cleverly, a small drawer in the base holds all your tools so there’s no misplacing them, and I love this feature so much.
Now I will be transparent here and say that this base station is very large and does need a good amount of space to operate. The station measures about 20-inches tall, 22-inches wide and 14-inches deep. And you will need it to have some clearance for the bot to get in and out, and to pull the handheld from its dock too, so keep that in mind.
Getting things set up is going to take just a minute or two. From my experience reviewing numerous ECOVACS robot vacuums, the process has been easy, seamless, and bug free. It's one of the reasons I really like recommending ECOVACS; the user interface is easy, particularly for those new to robot vacuums.
You just need the free ECOVACS app. Sign up for or sign into your account and then choose the option to add a new robot.
Essentially you'll power the robot on, scan the QR code on the bot and connect to your home’s Wi-Fi.
With that done your DEEBOT will prompt you to go on a mapping run of your house so it can learn the layout. I was really impressed that the robot found its way around my space in about 10 minutes and I had a fully generated, and accurate map, where it had even chosen the room labels for me and they were correct! Freakishly impressive.
With the house mapped it was time to put the DEEBOT X2 COMBO to work.

That's quite an impressive docking station! Thanks Erin!

[@Matt561]

Your robot vacuum reviews have become the only ones I trust.

[@acharletta]

Another excellent review. Thanks Erin.

[@whya2ndaccount]

Thanks Erin. The self cleaning hand held looks good but the approx. AUD$3,000 price tag not so much.

[@amigatommy7]

Be setting up the older model and looking at the hand held soon.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Erin.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You are so welcome!

[@adiands850]

Thanks for the great review! Did your dog approve or is it scared of robot vacuums?

[@erinpompa]

Love your reviews thank you. To date is the your favorite vac mop for Pets and wood floors ?

[@reggie2803]

Thanks for reviewing.

[@DingusSquatfordJr.]

How good is that, a machine with multiple cameras and sensors running around the house day in and day out?

[@brandonavants7662]

Still not convinced that spinning mopping pad isn’t going to drag…you conveniently jumped away as the bot hopped on the carpet and wobbled a bit…..0 confidence it won’t drag a little.

[@apekool3]

Can this cleaner tackle thresholds ? And can this cleaner handle dirt in the nooks and crannies ? I do not need a “cleaner” for my car. I have that already - just like most people. How is the customer service ? With - non existing - customer service (as with Dreame) you have a financial loss. Can you buy spare parts ?

[@annlathrop3576]

How Good do you think the suction is on the handheld? Can it get pet hair off a couch?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It did for me!

This vaccuum is trash. It takes a full day to clean a small apartment due to battery lasting for about one room. You will have to spend a good chunk of that day maintaining it when it needs your help to clean it due to vaccuuming up a few strands of hair that locks the roller or getting it out of a corner it trapped itself in. After that whole day there will be dirt along all the walls where it blew the debris and didn't clean up. If you suck up a strand of hair with the handheld it will trap all the dust in the hepa filter which kills all suction power and force you to manually clean it since the cleaning station can't handle it, which happens all the time. As the robot travels around it will drop off chunks of dust behind it and don't take care of it. Mops are absolutely useless against any stain. You will always have to vaccuum and mop yourself after it is done.
