If you’ve found that your robot vacuum cleaner misses the corners of a room and can’t get into tight spots, you might want to hear about the slim, square ECOVACS X2 OMNI, which can reach places other robot vacuums can’t.
This newly launched robot has an incredible 8,000Pa suction power. If that doesn’t mean much to you, we can tell you that it’s about the most powerful robot vacuum you can buy. Plus, it has a clever new lifting mechanism for its mop, so that it can cross carpets and rugs after mopping without getting them wet. And when it docks, its mops are automatically cleaned with hot water and dried with hot air.
The name Ecovacs may be new to you – but it shouldn’t be. It’s one of the world’s largest and most trusted robot vacuum brands, manufacturing 15 million units a year.
Whenever we give buying advice for robot vacuums, we tell people to measure up around their home before they choose a model. How well a robot vacuum works for you can be limited by the height your sofas and bed are from the ground, how cluttered your home is and how it’s laid out.
But, thanks to the X2 Omni’s unique design, it can get into more hard-to-reach spots than its competitors.
Still, that’s not the only reason to buy. The X2 Omni is one of the most comprehensive robot vacuum cleaners and mops available. Here’s an in-depth look at its best features:
- Low height and narrow dimensions: The X2 Omni is only 9.4cm tall, with a width of 32cm, giving it the best chance of getting under low pieces of furniture and into tight spots. And, thanks to its square design, it can clean deep into the corners that other robot vacuums only skim.
- Best-in-class suction: The X2 Omni raises the level of suction to 8,000Pa, putting it in the highest class of robot vacuum power. Its suction is a whopping 60% up on its predecessor, for deep cleaning carpets and tackling grimy floors – and it maintains a low noise level while at work.
- Inbuilt rotating mop: Unlike standard robot vacuum models, which only wipe floors when they mop, the X2 has dual spinning mops made from a chenille fabric. The mops can deliver enough pressure to remove even stubborn stains.
- Intelligent mop lifting: The X2 Omni can lift the mop 15mm high to ensure that it’s clear of carpets and rugs when crossing a room or a just-cleaned area. That means no damp carpets left behind.
Auto-emptying OMNI station: The Omni station takes on most of the annoying jobs of cleaning and maintaining the robot – so there’s less for you to do. It’ll empty the onboard dustbin whenever it docks and after mopping, it’ll clean the mops with hot water, then dry them with hot air and refill the water tank. With dimensions of just 39.4cm x 52.8cm x 44.4cm, it’s much more compact than rivals. Inside, it has a 3-litre dustbin and a 4-litre water tank.

- AI and machine learning for navigation: With AIVI 3D 2.0 obstacle avoidance and True Mapping 3D Map 2.0, the X2 Omni can identify and avoid even more common obstacles around the home, navigate more efficiently and make accurate, detailed maps of your home for superior cleaning. The X2 Omni can also scale obstacles of up to 2.2cm, so it can cross raised thresholds with ease.
- Inbuilt voice assistant: There’s no need to go through a complicated start-up process or connect to your home Wi-Fi system. Voice assistant Yiko 2.0 will work straight out of the box, so you can direct the robot using voice commands.
