Review: ECOVACS DEEBOT X1 OMNI: Why it's actually WORTH $1500!

[@joseljimenez9801]

Just another great review ! informative, explanatory and fun.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks Jose!

[@shz8481]

The cons: doesnt raise mopping pads. Has trouble identifying black furniture (table/chair legs). There are app issues such as constant reloads for maps to be visable. small home maps require more and less intuitive input from user for creation. However, if you are okay with learning the workarounds and limitations it does a damn fine job. Especially since the device can have 3 maps.

[@GaryMetzker]

The design here is top notch, however having to swap out the mopping pads to switch modes is a deal breaker. Kind of a disappointment they couldn’t have added a mopping pad lift

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Agreed!

[@davidrody9544]

That really is problematic!

[@WebStudiosDirect]

So you have to change out the mops for either vaccum or mopping? Alright not buying now

[@Kats072307]

One thing missing. By recognizing the carpet, it could raise the height of mopping round pads (store them inside the machine), and after carpet is finished, back out. Yes, this could make the vacuum cleaner taller. They have to figure out how

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

For sure!

[@matjam421]

There are 2 in 1's that do exactly that. I was very surprised at $1500 this did not have the feature.

[@gal766]

@@ErinLawrenceTV the competitor already did... it detects a carpet and raise them from the flour.

[@WebStudiosDirect]

@@gal766 which competitor? Roborock?

[@Spark010]

Great review Erin! I think this is getting close to the perfect robot vac for me, however the requirement to remove the mop pads is a deal breaker. I wish these would retract up into the unit, so that it could be used for both mopping and carpet usage without manual intervention.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Exactly!

[@Kats072307]

To conclude , in 2022 we still haven't had the ideal vacuum+ mopping Robot cleaner. Not both in 1. But for sure we are getting closer and closer

[@strll3048]

May I ask when we are required to remove the mop pads? Is that difficult to do?

[@jhowardsupporter]

You're suppose to have a fleet of them but yeah there is a cheaper only vacuum one so this is basically the mop version. You want them cleaning your floors once a day or two days so you can't just take the mops off.

[@joannaj2520]

@@strll3048 it’s easy they are held on by magnets. It doesn’t go on carpet with the mop pads on. So this might depend on the house how much carpet vs no carpet

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@smorgan4930]

Hello, Erin! I just want to make sure I understand -- it will or will not vacuum and mop the tile floors during the same run? So, the only time that I would have to remove the mop pads is when I want to vacuum the carpets? (Great review and very professional -- I am looking forward to checking out further reviews on your channel!)

[@jimwu7612]

Yes .have to remove the mopping pads

[@zawaprz]

@@jimwu7612 But here is the 'real world' scenario problem.. I'd like to have my house ENTIRELY taken care when not home.. but with this setup IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!(???) That is .. in order for my kitchen to be moped properly, don't I need first to vacuum it? That means to remove all particles before getting into mopping.. and that means, if I'm not home.. ... than what? or.. maybe I'm not understanding.. let me explain - my kitchen is hard floor, no carpet.. so.. can I just run 'entire' thing (what I mean vacuum plus mop pads on it), and when returned home both were done on this hard floor (as my understanding is I need to remove mop pads while on carpet)... In any case, it means that if I like to vacuum my TV (with carpet) room and vacuum and mop my kitchen it cannot be done in one cycle when not home as there is nobody to take those mop pads for me like on Roborock.. :(.. Yet they are priced the same... to bad. as I love design finding it rather ugly and somewhat 'junky' look on Roborock.

[@jerrodmcdaniel2043]

Well @jimwu7612 either you do your TV room separately or get a maid as you cannot ask for much more than it already does and roborock doesn't have spinning pads it has a pad that vibrates and keeps dragging your dirt around where this actually scrubs it washes them and dries them to keep everything sanitary as well as mildew and mold free but hey there's always a maid lol

[@billfong7861]

[@FerTechCH]

Lovely device, this one competes against the Roborock S7 Ultra which does not dry the mops and could result in filthy odors over time. I am wondering how reliable would be the "hidden" water tank over time. I guess only time will say, but maybe an extended warranty would be a good idea to have on a quite expensive device. My Roomba 980 is due for an upgrade so I guess I might pull the trigger. Nice review, a new subscriber over here from Switzerland!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Hope you enjoy it if you decide to go for it, and thanks so much for the sub!

[@MrNigelpickin]

Thanks, you're my go to for Robot Vacuum reviews - would be great if you could get hold of a Dreame L10s Ultra as it looks like it might have the Ecovacs beat....

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks so much, I'll check it out!

[@ThalanorThornhale]

This robot is awesome. But I am looking for a non-Chinese alternative to this. Why? Because I don't want my data to be stored in China under Chinese "rules". What American or better yet European alternative is there?

[@peymanyazdizadeh1967]

Ok, it will lose the game to Roborock s7 maxv ultra . Roborock has all the features plus lifting up the mop on carpet, so it gets all jobs done in one go!

[@MrBlueCreeper]

And the ROBOROCK is cheaper, but this has Yiko where the ROBOROCK doesn’t.

[@Hussain_Alaamri]

i agree with you kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGpY62Irb5oeqs

[@paulbasso406]

The vibration mopping is not as good as the rotating pads, the Deebot T8 got that system and is not great scrubbing anything it just drags the wet pad around.

[@JonathanRootD]

@@paulbasso406 the vibration gets really intense on the roborock. It works great for me. Plenty of dirty water picked up.

Thanks Erin. Great review and great vacuum.

[@connietolefree8809]

I have no problem removing the pad very easy, the roborock will get you carpet wet. Mines is white and lucky no dirt was left, the first evovac broke in 4 days, illusive it another try, way better than roborock. But I do like roborock mapping but in run over everything

[@mohamednilar8113]

I never really understood why robot vacuums with mop functions are tested on liquid spills in multiple reviews, they aren't built for sucking up liquids and then mopping them like fully fledged vacuum mops but rather just dried up stains from spills. All in all great review.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you!

[@MayaPham8538]

I am torn between Ecovacs x1 omni and the Roborock s7 maxv ultra. Both seems to have similar features. The X1 omni looks better and can dry the pads automatically, has child lock button but the S7 maxv ultra has the slightly stronger sunction power and better navigation (based on some reviews). Which one do you think is suitable for me (my house is nearly 300m2 both hard floor and carpet, 2 kids and no pets)??

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Hi Katie. I’m working on a comparison now. Should be up in a week or two.

[@du3lmaul3rs50]

Thank you for the great review Erin. I have one question - where do you put the mop plates when not in use (during vacuum mode)? I see there is a place for spare mop pads, but not seeing a place for the plates to go. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Excellent observation and a question I had myself. I have just been sitting them on top of the clean base face up and dry. But it would be nice if they had a little compartment.

[@sunshinesunshine5865]

Hi great review, one question: does it need internet all the time to function? I was just about to purchase one, but have this question left unanswered.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Interesting question… I haven’t tried running it while not connected to Wi-Fi, but I would assume that you could simply press the button on the robot to start and stop it. If for some reason your Wi-Fi was down. Is your Wi-Fi intermittent? Or you want to take it somewhere else to use it?

[@VictorSantosRJ]

Thank you for your review.

[@raykrrk]

Hi another cool video. I am wondering following questions 1. So when mopping pad is attached the robot will not go over any carpet? So we need separate handling if we want to mop vs vaccuum ? I assume it is not like roborock s7 maxv ultra and do vacuum and carpet in single run? 2. Can you please create a video comparing the roborock s7 maxv ultra and this robot. Especially around the deep mopping features and how effective they are like really stress testing the vacuum and mopping . Also how clean the self cleaning options are actually? I will be really excited to watch it

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for the suggestion and the compliment. I’ll definitely do a comparison video in April. And yes. When the mopping plates are installed it won’t go on carpet.

[@gal766]

so it can not lift the pads and continue on carpets, so it is not really that smart does it? (I suggest waiting for the next gen - water is very corrosive and it will have lots of problems)

[@acharletta]

Erin, great review. Are you going to do a head to head comparison of the Ecovacs Omni and the newest Roborock S7 Max V Ultra? I am especially interested in how they clean hard floors and dried on messes.

Awesome review! How would you say it compares to the Roborock S7 Maxv since you used both robots already? I also want to know which one does a better job mopping and vacing at the same time. Split between Ecovavs Omni X1, Roborock S7 Maxv, and Roidmi Eva...

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Both are great bots but I’m partial to the scrubbing mop on the Ecovacs.

[@xaudiblex]

@@ErinLawrenceTV good to know. Did you try to vacuum and mop simulatenously? If so, how did it function?

[@RoamingWithRobert]

What cleaning solution can you use in the mopping water? The manual states to use ecovacs cleaning solution but this isn't available in North America. I called ecovacs and they only recommended "warm water". Really? obviously warm water doesn't "CLEAN". Do you have any suggestions? Bona solution perhaps??

[@andrewcarfax-foster5046]

7:15, Do you have to take mop pads off to vacuum carpet every time? I thought it had a hot air dry system, waht's the point of drying pads if you have to take them off to vacuum? Having to manually pull the pads on and off every time you want to switch between vacuuming and mopping makes the auto-ness of the dock useless.

[@strll3048]

Thank you very much.

[@WebStudiosDirect]

Can you tell it to mop rugs? Like you wouldn’t want to take off the mops every time you want to vacuum and mop if you have one rug and rest hard floors

[@Marsbonfire007]

So it doesn't sweep and then mop right behind it? You have to send it out on separate sweeping and mopping missions?

[@acsolidus]

hey mate , what if it had already learnt the map .... but then i wanted to change the base station to another part of the house ? (where the map is also learnt). Do i have to do the entire set up again ? or would it just know the new base station's location automatically? thanks!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

If you move the base station, you need to regenerate the map. Because the map stores the location of the original base station it gets very confused if you move it. Fortunately, remapping doesn’t take very long.

[@SrinivasanRanganathan]

What about corners? Does it get crumbs out of corners? That’s the main issue we have in the kitchen

If not how does the water get to the floor? Thank you!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Great question about deliberately mopping carpets. I’m not sure as I have not tried that. In terms of the water getting onto your floors, it appears to saturate the mopping pads as opposed to spraying water separately. And thanks for the sub -welcome to the channel!

[@DominicJonesMrShed]

I bought one of these for £1300 - a complete waste of money. 3 months later it as sat in the corner of my kitchen, completely non-functional. The main brush on it is cheap plastic tat that falls to bits after a few weeks. You can’t replace the brush without spending £30 on a “buddy kit” which contains loads of other stuff which won’t have worn out yet - filters, dust bags etc - the brush supplied in the buddy kit failed after 3 days. I then spent 6 weeks trying to get a response out of their hopeless customer support team. The device then started behaving erratically, stopping 10 minutes into a program and complaining of multiple non-existent issues. The x1 Omni isn’t a bad vacuum - it’s just a brand new item, released with beta software and a support program incapable of actually providing support. Unfortunately these two issues render it useless after a couple of months and when you’ve spent over £1000 on a unit that leaves a pretty poor taste in your mouth. Avoid like the plague

[@Broughden]

If you have ANY small transition in your home's floors, such as between tile and wood floors or even between two different wood floors, then the robot is useless. They claim it can transition between heights of up to 2cm (3/4 inch) but that's ONLY if the mopping pads are removed, the mopping tank is empty, and the angle at the transition is 15 degrees or less in angle. So in most homes the robot becomes completely useless.

[@sanderl4779]

How unfortunate that it doesn't vacuum carpets when the mopping pads are installed... It does everything else automatically, but having to attach and remove the mopping pads kind of ruins it all. It would be so much smarter if it could do carpets with the mopping pads installed - but of course only after it has dried and heated the mopping pads, so that it doesn't wet the carpets.
