Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni review: Almost the Holy Grail

Almost perfect on paper, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is great at cleaning but isn't quite the ultimate hands-free cleaner.

On paper, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni looks like the holy grail of robot vacuums. 

Most robot vacuums need regular manual intervention, either to empty the dust bin or to untangle the random sock hidden under a bed the vacuum managed to suck up. The X2 Omni, however, has developed to a point it almost does everything for you.

I’ve had the X2 Omni cleaning my house for a few weeks now, and it is far and away the most advanced robot vacuum I’ve ever tested. It’s not quite where I want it to be in terms of an autonomous cleaning machine, however.

It’s fantastic, and a strong contender for the best robot vacuum in Australia

But it’s not quite a set and forget appliance. Not yet, anyway.
