In the last few years, robotic vacuum cleaners have gotten immensely more useful thanks to camera vision obstacle avoidance and auto-empty stations. Because, what good is a "do it all" robot if you have to maintain it every day or two? But even as robot vacuums have gotten more maintenance free, they've never been able to tackle a big part of floor cleanup: mopping. Dragging a slightly damp pad behind the robot's path is hardly a pathway to a clean floor and vibrating pads aren't much of an improvement. Not only does the new ECOVACS X1 OMNI actively SCRUB the floor, but it even has a station that periodically cleans the pads, fills up the robot's water reservoir, and even dries the pads after a cycle allowing for truly maintenance-free operation. This video is sponsored, yes, but this vacuum is unreasonably cool and I love it (they can't pay me to say that)!

We got all of our Mac Studio and Studio Display stuff late and we didn't want to rush hot-take content out the door. We have begun production on two extremely well-produced reviews with (what I believe to be important) information/testing missing from every review I've seen thus far. Stay tuned, it'll be worth it. Studio Display review coming at the end of this week and the Mac Studio review coming at the end of the next. Thanks for your patience.

If possible could you teardown the studio display? I mean, it's a hard ask but.

[@ArielBrener]

It looks that the current versions of the professional video production apps (including the current FCPX) don't utilize the ultra chips especially not the GPU cores. Puget bench for after effects beta gives the same score for the m1 max and the ultra... I wonder when will they update the programs to fully harness and scale of the ULTRA chips... I want to buy the studio Ultra but still on the fence about choosing 48 vs 64 GPU cores. And also 64 vs 128 GB ram... Since the current videos don't really show a substantial difference that is worth the price... Would love to hear your thoughts about it.. Looking forward your videos! Thanks!

As an owner of a Roborock S7; the mopping at the time was the best of the best. As soon as you flipped the X1 over I knew this robot was going to smash that. FOMO kickin' in hard!

[@AlexRobloxBB]

:O it’s you

[@Alster763]

I have the S7 and I love it. I hate mopping floors and it makes my life easy and my floors clean. I wouldn't spend the $1600 for this simply since what I need done gets done and for a whole lot less $$$$

[@xeon2k8]

at this price it has no chance against the s7 maxv. Simple as that, the "better" mopping doesnt make up for it.

[@yannick_yt]

This one doesn't vacuum carpets though whenever the mops are installed. Roborock does, it automatically lifts the mop as soon as it encounters a carpet, which for me is a huge advantage. Also, I totally see how this type of mopping is better, but my guess is that it doesn't make much of a difference if the floor gets mopped every day due to the auto-refill and -empty station.

[@SimplyAwesomeness]

@@xeon2k8 agree, i'd rather go for Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, i just don't get why have auto empty and auto wash/dry mop pads but still need to manually remove mop pads just to vacuum carpets.

Don't feel too bad, I guarantee these things don't work nearly as good as they advertise, especially in a normal home with actual clutter on the floor. (Also, I found it a little odd that he talked about cleaning carpet, but didn't actually show the thing doing it.) I had one of the original Roombas (the ex bought it without my knowledge) and it was a complete waste of money. Not because the idiotic thing couldn't cover the floor properly or because it got stuck on everything, but because it just plain sucked at cleaning the floor. I would be very skeptical of the cleaning abilities of any robotic vacuum cleaner, especially one that costs $1400. For that much money, it better leave the entire floor spotless. I'd much rather just buy a cheap vacuum and a Swiffer and save myself a shitload of money.

So actually, there is an OEM solution for this model to top up the fresh water can and dirty water can on its own essentially turning it into a washing machine. And the whole set up process is the same as a washing machine, you give it a fill pipe and a drain port. But that option is quite limited since the you would pretty much need to put it in the laundry room.

Started out with Neato a D5 & then a D7 cleaned great but only lasted 2 years each before they craped out, I now have a RoboVac S9 and Brava M2 (thanks to neato's too bad so sad support), they also clean extremely well, and tag team for a full clean. The Achilles heel has always been corners and mop boards when they perfect this I'll be the first one in line for that model. These robots are continuously evolving and it appears that this version of the ECOVAC is the latest step in the evolutionary cycle. What would be interesting would be a 1-year performance update and review the operating and maintenance cost per clean, I love my robot vacuum/mops but have found the cost per clean an eye-popping number given the life expectancy of the actual devices and required purchases to keep them functioning at a high level.

[@69Dartman]

I tried the cheapest Deebot I could find without a main brush and it worked well enough I quickly got a slightly better one with the brush, also really cheap. Then I splurged and got a refurbished Deebot 901 with lidar room mapping and it's been great but slightly fragile. The main brush belt started slipping and they repaired it under the warranty, now one wheel has locked up. I can probably fix it but decided to go with a refurbished Deebot Ozmo 960 with the improved room mapping with the object avoidance camera from Amazon. It should be here Saturday and hopefully will run till I decide to upgrade again. I'd love that new unit but 13 to 1500 is way more than I'm willing to pay. My house is mostly carpet so don't know if we'll use the simple mopping feature but might be good in the kitchen and bathrooms. Great review and I'll keep my eye out for the price to drop. My house stays a lot cleaner without us doing much except cleaning the worst spots or breaking out one of the big vacuums to do a deep cleaning.

[@electricdragon9366]

I currently own a Roborock S6 and well, the mop functionality isn't great. in addition, the lidar that sits on the robot causes it to not enter certain spots. I may consider upgrading to a Dreame Bot W10 in the future, but until then, my Bissell 2582N can take care of that area.

[@bxsteez]

Ecovacs have amazing features but they all suffer from a failing DToF sensor right around the 1.5yr mark which is out of warranty. This may just be if you have lower furniture because it doesn’t know how tall it is so it will push hard to get under stuff it can’t fit in. You can just use nogo zones to avoid this. Just a heads up if you buy this and in 1.5 yr it gives a DToF error every time you run it.

[@kyl3k91]

Do you think the mops will raise enough to clear an area rug rather than a traditional carpet? We have one in our living room but your one gripe would make this not work for our set up if it couldn’t avoid getting the rug wet. I wouldn’t mind removing the mop pads for a fully carpeted room though

[@snazzy]

Ehhhh I doubt it. The sensor is pretty sensitive. It’ll just go around the rug with the pads attached until you can remove them, I’d bet.

[@hivetyrant7]

Hey Quinn! Loved this video and this robo cleaner looks amazing compared to my Roborocks, I know you've done a lot with homekit/homeassistant, you didn't mention any smart home integration which I don't think I could live without now. I hate needing more and more apps to manage things like this.

This looks like it would be great for the polished concrete floors in my place. The fact that it can't transition from hard flooring go carpet without manually removing the mop pads is quite unfortunate, though.

One of my favourite parts of your Smart Gym video was showing how useful the products were without usage of the subscription service it required. In this case how does the robot vacuum function a) without use of Internet, but still using the app, and b) without use of the app entirely. quite curious to see how products like this will age which are designed to be physically long lasting but without the assurance of the digital world lasting with it.

[@mark-zeman]

Does it have a bin full sensor on the vacuum? Biggest disappointment with the Deebot OZMO T8 AVI is that it doesn’t known when its own bin is full. It only returns to the auto empty dock at the end of the job. With carpets the bin often overflows before the end of the job. Roomba’s have a bin full sensor and it seems like an obvious feature. Wonder if it’s patented like the dual rollers.

[@joeglennaz]

Thank you for this great video! I’ll let me say more people are interested in this kind of thing than you might think. So please don’t hesitate to post some stuff that you’re interested in because I venture to guess I’m probably interested in a lot of the same things you are. I had one of the first robot vac‘s ever the rumba back in the early 2000s. And you know what it worked awesome. Now I had it on concrete floors my whole house was concrete floors. And as far as navigation goes it did go all over the place but it always cleaned every spot in the end. I don’t believe it was just randomly going all over the place I think it knew what it was doing it just didn’t run straight lines. That doesn’t bother me but I do think it bothers a lot of people. It’s just like my pool cleaner it never runs straight lines either but it doesn’t miss a single inch. Anyway in the last few years there have become so many different models that I have purposely not bought any of them because I’m so confused. I keep thinking Roomba was the first true functional home robot ever invented and they should have the best vacuums but then again I just don’t know everyone is getting in the business. I would like something that mops really well and so seeing this is very encouraging. I’m thinking about waiting till the next version and hopefully they’ll have the pad issue resolved so I can go between carpet and hardwood floors without having to remove the pads. Anyway thank you again great video!

For a current example, look at Nintendo shutting down servers for older consoles with no warning, locking people out of software they've purchased.

[@fedorjj]

I got T8 AIVI after Quinn recommended it, and while it’s certainly good, it’s not AS good. Mapping is extremely buggy in my case, at some point I just gave up and I now run the thing in Auto mode all the time, because one closed door causes it to occasionally remap entire house (one time it got even confused about the relative North and glued together two layouts of our house in one with deferent rotation, crazy). For the record I have multiple Ubiquity APs in the house very similar to what Quinn has, so Wifi is not an issue. I wish app developers just made remapping a manual feature, instead of it happening randomly from time to time, it would be such an easy fix. Cleaning-wise it’s great, apart from auto-empty station. You have to run it literally EVERY day (in our case) to make it auto-empty, otherwise it gets so much stuff that auto empty station is just not strong enough to empty it, which is super frustrating. One solution to that is to have manual schedule and going room by room so it returns to auto empty after each room, but because of mapping issues it’s simply not possible in my case. So we just run it every day and check every day that it auto-emptied. It’s the only robot vacuum I’ve ever used, and I suppose that others are worse, but point of that comment is don’t expect it to be perfect.

From the looks of it this product really did deserve a special snazzy labs video.

And was the snazzy lbs logo subconsciously designed to look like a robotic vacuum? Thanks snazzy!

[@xeon2k8]

with this specific set of feature there are not many right now, some are missing either auto-emptying the bin or auto-refilling the tank. The direct competitor would be the roborock s7 maxv ultra, at a lower price i think 1300, it's a WAY better value since it's navigation algorithm and mapping are top notch, vibrating mop (not rotating, so it's not THAT good, but still much better than regular mop) and lifting mop, so if you have carpets separating hard floors then it can lift the mop to pass through the carpets (they have to be low or medium pile, since it doesnt lift the mop high enough) and clean the floors. Dyson has no robot vacuum. The ""dyson"" in the robot vacuum world would be iRobot but they are lagging behind, the havent got a fully featured robot, they only excel on carpet cleaning.

Not bad at all, but for me to having to take the pods off to clean carpeted area is a no go at this price range.

[@snazzy]

At home I’m running a S7 and a Narwal. The app is so, so, awful but since it doesn’t have an internal reservoir like this does, I just throw Lysol in the tank and so it mops extremely well with solution. I think on the whole it mops a little better than this but it’s such a PITA compared to this thing it’s more of a pre-meditated action. Takes me 5 minutes to prep it for cleaning. Still faster than mopping myself but not quite as convenient as this is.

Im sure you can build a raspberry Pi to control a fan in a barrel smoker to bring a tech angle to smoking meats. Id watch that.

Does this require a "cloud" service that some day will shut down? Or can you run it fully self hosted? Something I'm not willing to compromise on. When I drop this kind of money I expect it to last decades. And self hosting also is better for security.

how does it do with hair or long cat fur?

I bought one of these from Amazon $1508.12 USD ($150 off when this video dropped) based solely on Quinn's review here. It has...issues. I had to return it. The Amazon return window was 04/29 and Ecovacs were either unwilling or unable to resolve the issue. And I did inform them that I would be returning it if the issue I was running into wasn't resolved by the 28th. That's not to say they did not try. They seem nice enough, perhaps a little married to their script + ESL injecting translation issues into the mix demands additional levels of patience. No issues there. When the thing works and what it does it does well. The issue is the software/AI is still quite beta at best, alpha at worst. My issue is that if the unit starts a vacuum + mopping job and runs into a situation where there is not enough clean water in the clean water tank in the base unit, it alerts as such and pauses the job. The problem is that when refilling the clean water tank and resuming the job from the app, it cleans the mop pads and refills the deebot and then it puts up an overlay animation notice that it is emptying the dust bin. But the vacuum in the base to actually suck out/empty the dust bin doesn't turn on and that overlay never goes away. No other actions can take place from the app or the base's capacitive buttons. The only way to clear this condition is to pull the deebot from the base and let it decide not all is right with itself/situation and return to the base. Once there, it declares the job successful. So there's no way to resume the job from this situation. The app is also super buggy wrt attempting to alter/divide the map. Before I reached out to support the unit would not perform a scheduled job. After reaching out about both issues, the unit suddenly started doing the scheduled job. I never received any acknowledgement, much less an answer, to what it was they did to resolve the scheduling issue. It's especially frustrating because I really wanted the unit to work. What it does do, w/in the paradigm of it not running low on clean water in the middle of a job, it does well. If I always ensured it was full of water every day or so, it would be fine. The point of spending such a silly sum of money on this sort of thing is to automate that kind of toil out of my life. I recommend waiting until the software bakes a bit longer before giving it a whirl. Maybe the hardware/software situation of the X2(?) Omni/X1 Pi(?)/X2 Pi(?) will be more usable. Should be cheaper in any event. In the meantime, I'll redeploy my 3 Roomba j7+ units and go back to weekly moppings.

Have been looking for a while and this is exactly what I am looking for for my office as its all tiles... However... When I click on the link to buy it I get sent to the Australian store (where I am located) and it is not available for sale... Don't want to risk buying a US model as warranty is always an issue and swapping from 110/240v is not always simple. If I didn't have carpets upstairs I would buy 2 but needing to remove the pads on an automatic product seems a bit 'un-automated'. Please give Ecovacs a nudge that if they pay to have you do an advertisement they need to realise your reach is global... its now really pissing me off that I cant find one to buy. PS. what IS the solution for a place with hard floors AND carpet?

[@TiczAdam]

Are you sure about the about the '"words first" title? Maybe I am wrong but roborock s7 maxv ultra come out a little bit earlier.

[@samcooper5539]

Can we NOT bring back proprietary vacuum bags?

[@ReinaldoRauch]

@7:55 LoL, it reminds me of the robot from a mission of GTA: Vice City Stories that you had to hack a cleaning robot

[@thesmartI]

I was sold until I saw the price. Cut that price in half and I'm in

[@cadriver2570]

Got a Miele and Eufy for around half the price of this total. Miele is amazing.

[@Okami-Chann]

I have a 980 roomba and my biggest gripe is that it keeps falling and getting stuck in the same spot each time it vacuums, it never learns that spot causes it to become stuck, very annoying. Wonder if this one is any better

[@xeon2k8]

this one or any modern one wont "learn" by itself, you need to set a no-go zone

[@Okami-Chann]

@@xeon2k8 seems like something basic bc i have a few no go zones

[@xeon2k8]

@@Okami-Chann it's not basic, you can make the distinction easily with your brain but the robot would have to analyse the surroundings and there are a lot of factors that it cant predict if it will get stuck there or not

[@poobalu]

Quite literally just started looking at robo vacs for our new apartment today and bam - this video comes out. This seems a bit overkill for a first vacuum, is that fair to say? Asking for 2 bedroom without carpets...

[@xeon2k8]

without carpets then roborock s5 max it's really good one. If you dont want to spend so much money maybe the dreame L10

[@costafilh0]

Can you set it to work only when you are not at home? Would be nice to never hear the thing!

[@valerie80yearsago90]

If I closed my eyes and someone played this I would wonder why Doug Demuro got into vacuums. The similarity is wild.
