The Omni station, where the robot vacuum empties its dustbin, washes its mops and recharges, also has an attached base for the stick vacuum to recharge and empty its dustbin.

You can take the cordless vacuum from the dock, place the unit on the stick and the floor brush from the side of the dock (exclusive to the “Full” variation) and do the cleaning. Once this is done, return the portable unit to the charging base, which automatically empties the contents of the trash container into the unit’s dust bag and charges.

You will no longer have to shake dust, pet hair and random crumbs from the vacuum cleaner’s dustbin over the dustbin. This unique process outperforms the most popular stick vacuums on the market, including the Dyson V series handheld vacuums and TikTok-famous viral brand Homeika, which must be emptied by hand.

Last fall, Ecovacs launched the Deebot The company then showed the Combo variation during CES 2024. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase the Combo unit’s portable emptying and charging base for an existing Deebot X2 Omni station.

Instead, Ecovacs now offers two new bundles: the Deebot X2 Combo, which includes the robot vacuum and mop plus a handheld vacuum with three brush heads, and the Deebot motorized.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a portable device that simplifies cleaning floors, stairs and upholstery. You’ll never have to deal directly with dust or debris. Each unit includes four brush heads, which I have used on my car, curtains, A/C return, dryer filter, stairs, and couch.

I have used the Deebot X2 Robot vacuum and mop in my house since last fall. While the new unit looks the same, it has more suction power (increased from 8000 Pa to 8700 Pa). I found that the robot vacuum and mop holds its own among high-end competitors. It keeps my floors free of pet hair and muddy footprints, thanks to its strong suction and effective mopping.

Also: I tested the new model of my favorite two-in-one robot vacuum and it’s better in almost every way.

The cordless vacuum has a 4000 mAh lithium battery, just like the $750 Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum, which offers up to 60 minutes of run time. Unlike the V15 Detect, the battery on the Deebot X2 handheld vacuum cleaner is not removable.

During my testing, I found that the Deebot handheld vacuum’s battery run time on the highest setting was 17 minutes and 11 seconds when operated continuously. When run on the lowest settings, the run time was 54 minutes and 31 seconds.

The handheld vacuum only has two intensity modes: high and low. When you turn it on, the cordless vacuum cleaner runs on the last settings used before you turned it off. I keep mine on high because I have a dog that sheds a lot and the 17 minutes of battery life in this mode are more than enough to clean my stairs, two high-traffic entryway rugs, a large living room rug, my dogs favorite rug and most of the borders along the wall of the approximately 900 sq ft downstairs area.

Also: I tried the AI ​​robot massage that comes to Equinox. It was surprisingly relaxing.

Like the Deebot X2 Omni, the new Deebot When you set up the robot vacuum and add it to the Ecovacs app, you should let it map your home before diving into a full cleaning.

After the initial mapping, I used the new Deebot X2 Combo Complete robot vacuum cleaner to clean the floors at least every other day, but sometimes daily for 10 days. The robot made mistakes three times during this period: it went out to clean and reloaded after only cleaning about a quarter of the mapped area, and it was always a different area.

The first time, the robot only cleaned behind the couch. The second time, he stopped in the kitchen and returned to the dock after doing the living room and half of the kitchen. The third time, she stopped after completing the living room. Although you can select areas or rooms for the robot to clean using the mobile app, in these cases, I activated the cleaning sessions using the button on the charging base.

Hopefully Ecovacs will fix this issue with firmware updates. The other problem I noticed is object avoidance. The Deebot I had to untangle these and other elements from the brush, which detracts from the convenience of a robot vacuum.

Please don’t think I live in a pigsty; It is not like this. These items are usually in places where I can’t see them, like under furniture and against a wall. My kids also often leave behind toys that my one-year-old puppy likes to break into two- and three-inch pieces of plastic that the high-performance robot also vacuums up, only to jam the brush roll.

Ecovacs explained that small objects do not make the robot avoid obstacles. Otherwise, the Deebot X2 robot would not pick up grains and would not be able to climb the ground transitions. Still, he wishes larger items, like socks and crumpled paper towels, would allow for obstacle avoidance, since both the Eufy S1 Pro and the Eufy X9 Pro Avoid these items.
