Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni review: rolling in the right direction

“The X8 Pro Omni’s new roller mop makes it one of the best robots for cleaning hard floors.”

Pros

Roller mop is a huge improvement

Easy to use docking station

Brushes prevent tangles

Fast and accurate mapping

Cons

Robot is extremely large

Competitors offer more suction

Ecovacs has created some innovative robot vacuums over the years, including a handful that come bundled with a cordless vacuum like last year’s T30S Combo. For 2025, the company is making an even more radical design change, employing a new roller mop that’s completely different from the mopping plates and pads seen in the competition. The result? A robot vacuum and mop combo capable of handling all sorts of spills and stains on hard floors — though it sacrifices size and suction numbers in the process.

This beast of a robot is better as a robot mop than it is as a robot vacuum. Capable of producing 18,000Pa of suction and with an anti-tangle brush design, it won’t have any trouble pulling up hair and debris. But the massive roller mop can only lift itself so high, meaning it’ll drag along the tips of plush carpets. Those suction numbers also fall behind products like the Roborock Saros 10. And because the roller mop is so large, the X8 Pro Omni is much taller than expected, so forget about cleaning under furniture.
