Ecovacs launches the Deebot Omni X8 for cleaner floors
Ecovacs has hit the ground running in 2025 with its new Deebot Omni X8 robot vacuum, with an advanced roller mop inside, as well as cheaper T50 models.
I rarely use the mop function of robot vacuums, apart from testing for reviews. Mostly because I just haven’t found they do a good job of actually mopping up messes instead of more smearing dirt further along the floor.
But the Deebot Omni X8? This looks like a robot vacuum that can actually mop. Ecovacs has used the mopping technology created by sibling-brand Tineco in the Omni X8. That means the vacuum continually sprays clean water onto one side of the roller, before scraping that dirty water off into a separate dirty water tank.
It does this while spinning at 200 RPM, and exerting a constant 4,000 Pa of downward pressure to really scrub your floors clean. I’m testing the X8 now, and I think it’s the first time I will have the mopping set as the default clean. And a big part of that is due to the improvements to the software as well.
