I just received mine... and in case you need it, the total height of the dock is about 80cm but users will need about 90cm for 'airspace' to comfortably remove the tanks...
I purchased an Electrolux Trilobite (2nd Gen) when they came out. It lasted well and has only died this year. It cost $3350 when I bought it in 2005. Its battery life was appalling, but it was well made and worked reliably for a long time. If the Omni can last as long as that I'll be delighted.
As an owner of an Ecovacs Ozmo 920 (reasonably satisfied with it, though it has issues), what put me off buying the self emptying tower is that all the robot vac manufacturers have taken a step back in innovation with their towers by using disposable bags. I understand dust clouds and static holding onto dust, but there are ways around that, it seems like having paid a premium for these robo vacs 5 to 10x the cost of a premium upright vacuum cleaner if you buy the newest model, the companies want us to continue paying. On the subject of mopping they just need to make the discs wider so it cleans the edges effectively.
@@AlexTeo Yeah having the dirt compacted or dropping out the bottom of a tray when emptying would be preferable as you empty it in the bin, the flying dust would be minimal.
Self cleaning mop is sure a must before mopping become practical with robo vacuum.. one of my concern is dragging the dirty mop along its way back to self cleaning station..
technically it's still mopping on the way back so not too bad, just increase the cleaning interval to the shortest if you want it to be as clean as possible
Thank you for the review. i think it is still rather primitive in term of the mopping function, as you rightfully pointed out that it doesn't mop all the area in the house and doesn't remove the hard stain on the floor... at the end of the day, it wont replace physical mopping... i will wait for more advance before i will buy
Physically mopping won't remove stains too, you will still have to go with a strong solution with a cloth and scrub hard. Robot mopping are best at running it daily to give your feet that nice clean and non sticky feel
This as well! Reason why i purchased another brand at over 50% less than this, it mops but wont be using it and also purchased the Tineco S5pro for deep scrub mopping and vacuum, both cost robot vac and tineco cost me $1000
@@ViceVersaYT I have the Bisell Crosswave. Arguably the best vacuum mop out there. But Im getting lazier and cant keep up with the crumb droppings of my 3 kids. I cant mop daily. At most once a week.
As far as I can see, this model has the same software problem as the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni version. The issue is that it always puts the mops in front of the station and spins (dry or dirty) while entering the station.
Be aware that if you have more than 1 floor you can’t really use it to mop and vacuum other than the floor with the base unit. The robot needs to return to it during its mopping cycle to clean the mop heads and add more water. If doing that on another floor it will stop and you must bring it back to the main floor where you have the station then bring it back to the floor you were mopping. Only thing it wont resume where it left off.
This is awesome Alex, i was waiting for such product, and thought i really have to wait for quite some time after watching your previous video on vacuum robot. Thanks for the review, as usual, like your very practical opinion on pdts review. Just hope they do some launch promo price discount :-)
Great review. But from experience, as well as these robots do their jobs, it's the LONG TERM life of these devices that need addressing. After a few months of use, they start making odd noises, have software issues, etc. My first Deebot did well the first 4 months, then started making clicking noises. It's been retired to my basement which is all carpet. A short pile-type carpet. After 2 months of use there, the brush drive motor has been making a really loud whining noise that changes pitch with it backs up, and goes forward. I've done all a user can do to troubleshoot it but it's not going away. It also feels like the drive "cog" for the brush is slipping. On a flat smooth surface, it's fine. On any rug or carpet, it's very very noisy. The vac is about 2 years old now. So, in retrospect, buying one of these NEW Ecovacs units for more than $1k, buyers should be aware of these things do break and wear out. Get extended warranty coverage.
my first robot vacuum is like 7 years ago, I don't see them breaking down or having issues within a year. They all able to last me 2-3 years around there. As there are many moving parts, bumping here and there at times, so they are not those kind of appliance that can last you 5-10 years
@@AlexTeo My vac's always did my 1st floor. About 1800 sqft of hardwood, some area rugs, and a few cat toys. They would run no less then 3 times a week and sometimes, some spot cleaning. I have a 2+ year old deebot that is grinding gears on carpet (does find on flat tile or hardwood). It's something I can't fix. I just tossed a V9000 Samsung because one of the wheel cogs got wore down and the poor thing went in circles more than a straight line. I had it doing my 2nd-floor walkway and the 4 bedrooms about 2 times a week. Every unit gets a battery change if they make more then one trip back to charge during the job. I won't even talk about having to clean the brushes, even the refuse tank and blowing the unit off once a month to ensure all the sensors are clear. So, for $1000, there is a lot to do and a lot that can go wrong with these bad boys in a short period of time if they are used for more then a 500sq ft apartment. FWIW, my house has a whole house vac system from NuTone. Been installed in 1996. I've only had to replace 1 bulb in the motorized floor unit and filters. Thats it. Don't get me wrong, these robots are cool as heck and keeps us from dragging out the 30ft hose for the whole house unit. Time saver.
My roomba 562 is over a decade old and still runs fine. I upgraded to the J7+ and the Omni x1 recently so now it cleans my office at work. It still runs like new. You just need to take care of the robot and it will take care of your floor.
Bought my roborock vacuum 2 years ago and can't believe there are so many new features already! Looking forward to see how robot vacuums will continue to upgrade in the next few years :)
Ive ordered the X1 OMNI. Its on the way. One drawback i feel is that the robot is too wide. It cannot get between many chairs out there. You need the robot to be around 30cm or small to get in between chairs.
Think you should have also covered the app a bit since they did some changes. Otherwise, specs look good, but other reviews show that the circular mopping may not be better than the Roborock G10/S7Maxv's simple pad, nor as clean after self-cleaning. It looks like the X1 has the better obstacle avoidance though, and obviously better looking.
I disagree. I had the T8+, with the sonic pads. It did well, but my results so far with this product are much improved. The spinning pads made my floor cleaner then it has been in a long time.
@@sdcoinshooter Can see some X1 vs G10S reviews to compare, as it's different than ozmo pro (which I also have). Example: ruclips.net/video/SZOKDzzJjmg/видео.html
Thanks Alex. Is there a feature to choose floor. Like to take the unit upstairs and set floor one ? Then take it back to the charging station in G floor ?
Hello Alex, thanks for you videos, how if you experience after 9 months? Also how wet the floor is after mopping? I bought a new one and, even with max water usage, I only have a very thin trail of wet on the floor (no trail with lower usage); not sure if mine is malfunctioning or if this is expected.
hmm is this your first time using robovac with mopping? their mopping are not those very wet type, but having said that the x1 do feels a little less wet as well so i have it set to max water usage too. I suggest to manual wash the pads once a while as well, if not they will become kinda hard and that will affect the water flow
Hi Alex . Phew ! I watched your robotic cleaners about 1 1/2 years ago and then recently the last three months , I could not find your videos . However today I found your video and now have saved it . Thank you for all your hard efforts making these informative videos . May I ask if you’re still happy with the ecovacs X1 omni as the reviews in Europe are pretty poor regarding customer support ? Thank you . FP
come to my channel under videos then you will find everything haha, I don't make a lot of videos so should be quite easy to search. Ya I am satisfied with the X1 and still using it now. The support I got from ecovacs is very good but I am not sure is it because I got special treatment so can't comment on that haa
I am tossing up between the Omni, the Roborock S7 VMax Ultra and the Bissell Spinwave R5. I am impressed with the Omni, but have found the company does not respond to emails that I have sent asking questions. This puts doubt In my mind regarding their after sales service. I like the spinning mops that the Omni and Bissell have. I don't really mind if it does have a self cleaning dock, as long as it carries water. I just want a reliable vacuum, that I will only use on tiles and one that maps well. I feel the spinning mops will get into the grout better than the pad, but I may be wrong. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer. I do enjoy your honest videos
i will suggest to go with either ecovacs or roborock, bissell is really not known for their robovac. The cleaning performance is actually very similar, nothing very special about spinning mop pads. The roborock allows you to access to the internal water tank directly, you might like that more. In terms of after sales support, I think it defers based on where you stay
Will you do a comparison review for x1 omnia and roidmi Eva? Both looks very similar in terms of the self cleaning functionality. Even under the hood seems the same lol
@@AlexTeo haha right?! I do have a quick question. I hear that ecovacs have better mopping plates that will put down more water but I'm unsure how to get them. Would I have to reach out directly to them or are they already replaced on new units shipping now? Thanks again!
Dear Alex, thank you so much for this video. My X1 Omni arrived last night and I am currently very disappointed about the little information on the features. I am in Germany and selected German as language. The voice commands: are they listed anywhere (my impression is that it is not optimized for German). I tried to change the language back to English, but that did seem to confuse the software completely (=location Germany and language English). - I have a delicate carpet that he should not mop with water and I just cannot find a way how to tell the robot not to go there, nor can I find in the app how to install a "no-go" zone - let alone what the command would be in German (which I seem to be stuck with). I also have a 4 year old Xiaomi and I must say that the mapping functionality, no-go zone drawing was very intutitive, I never needed any manual. - Now, I feel helpless after spending a long time trying to find how to define the no-go zone without any success - If anyone out there can help, I would be very very happy and grateful!
I am sorry, I had fast forwared to the special features instead of watching your entire video - so MY problem is actually solved by the machine being more intellligent than I had expected -it will not mop the carpet with water - perfect. - The other issue that someoene else mentioned: when you have more than one floor to mop (wet): we have to return it to the dock, but apparently it cannot "resume" where it left off - I have not tried it yet - but I hope there is a way to circumvent this issue (buy more docking stations...?)
Hi Alex, I’ve been watching this video for awhile now and am impressed with it. Am considering it for my upcoming home but now I am also looking at Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. What are your takes on both of these robots and which do you recommend more?
Thanks so much for this helpful review. So excited to see the automation of the new Deebot. I have the 950 and T8, but am constantly changing pads because I partitioned my floor into smaller areas ( like you I have issue with one small pad cleaning whole house). Can be a chore with constant changing. May I check with you regarding the hot air drying? How long does it take to dry the cleaning pad? An electrician told me anything with heat uses a lot of energy😮.
i'm never 100% satisfied haha, but I will still pick this over any other robovac out there now. The xiaomi one all-in-1 is something i really want to test out especially it's so much cheaper
Great video as always Alex :) indeed auto empty like the washing machine will be great. What colour and brand is the vinyl in the room with the Ecovacs the darker brown one.
Alex, my house has 2 lvl story, how should I apply this robot, I planned to put it 1st floor, am I able to clean the 2nd lvl too ? Like how does it work if I just carry the robot and put it on the 2nd floor ? (Without the station) What do you think ? Thanks you’re awesome !
the water tank capacity is only 80 ML on Deebot X1 omni where as other models like the t8 model is 240 ml. with such a small water tank will it not need frequent docking ?
Great review, love that you mention noise impressions too, so many other reviews seem to be instructed it seems by manufacturers to not touch the subject at all. As you know since you're a dog owner too, sound is important for people with pets :) I'm just a little worried getting replacement bags in the long term here in Europe. Also we tend to have quite some lime in the drinking water. Do they touch this in the manual ? Should you use demineralized water, or can you use like a 50% vinegar mix to keep the station and water channels clean ?
Great video Alex! I have the ecovac T9 and hair tangling is the greatest issue as my wife has long hair. I have to manually clean the robot each week to rid the long hair. How does this automatic cleaning do with hair?
yes I have the same version of the ecovacs, the only issue is the tangling hair, so I set it clean 1/2 room at a time, not all the entire house, it works okay there is still a little amount of tangling hair but better than before The earlier AES has 2 hole, so the hair pulling from each other hole Sorry if my English is bad Planning to buy this omni soon , but yeah it is pretty expensive
I have an x1e and after 70mq the battery runs out and then it need lot of hours to get recharged... Is this normal? Is the x1 version morr performant? I am thinking to return it because the cleaning is always incomplete...
Looking at your video, I have a question plz, when you placed the station near the washing machine, do you have enough Space to open the station top lid and take off the water tank (considering the wood top above the machine) ? I have similar Space in my home and Wonder if such station would fit in such a place. Thx
Hi Alex, i just got the x1 omni today... By any chance would you know why my x1 omni is already asking me to refill the water tank after just 1 cleaning session? Have previously filled it to the max on the first time.
Did you physically check whether there are still water inside the clean water tank? I suggest you take some time to observe what the bot is doing in one cleaning session, such as how many times it did the self cleaning, and is there excess water leaking out during the cleaning
Hi Alex, I would like to check if you have an issue with the clean water tank dispensing out? I bought the X1 from china and am looking for a troubleshooting solution as I do not have a warranty locally.
It'd be nice to have a bagless option for the auto empty Dock, similar to the roborock. How does the robot handle accidental liquid spillage while it's running? Will it avoid the spot or just vacuum over it?
@@ykang568it's just that the mop on the roborock lifts up when vacuuming so it doesn't touch the floor at all...also if it sees carpet, it lifts so it doesn't touch
Hi Alex, does the water splatter at the front of the docking station when the mop pads are being cleaned? Asking coz that's what I experienced for Roidmi Eva, so just want to compare.
Hi Alex Great review! I'm still a bit confused with the mopping pads and carpet cleaning thing. I have carpets almost in every room. If I want to vaccum and mop at the same time, can I still use Omni with the mopping pads and set the carpet areas as a forbidden zone? Or is there another way to do so without having to remove the mopping pads? TBH I'm a lazy cleaner 😇 Also, my house has 2floors. Do I need to start from the 1st floor, or Omni knows how to take the scales? I'm new in this vaccum automation life, and wonder if omni or roborock would be the best fit for me.
hihi, the newer generation of vacuum robots with mopping is they will avoid going up the carpets to avoid dirtying them, so basically they will just vacuum and mop on hard floors. If you want to vacuum carpets, you have to manually remove the mopping component. Roborock S7 and after has the feature to lift up the mopping by around 1cm when it detects carpet. So it depends on what kind of carpets are in your rooms, if they are low pile carpets then go for roborock as it can clean everything in 1 single cleaning session. If not, then maybe can consider getting 2 robots instead, 1 to do vacuum and 1 to do mopping. Since you have 2 floors, they can run concurrently as well
@@anne-laurencezanclan5651 iRobot J7+ and Narwal T10. The narwal is actually a vacuum too, but it's a much better mop, so I leave the mop pads on it. The two combined cost the same as 1 Omni
@@AlexTeo Are you serious ? I have read some users feedback from china stating they have to clean the base every 3 moping sessions and that it was a pain to do it.
@@AlexTeo You must have a very clean environment with no pets maybe. For people with pets, garden and mud I Guess it must be a lot more often as the debris must go Somewhere in the base ...
@@theattorney6072 u mean people use robot in a garden?!? I think from my video its pretty obvious i got a dog haa, else i need to give him more screentime already. Anyways if you are mopping it everyday, your floor wont be dirty. The debris is supposed to be washed into the dirty water tank
I have had mine one week, and absolutely love it! It is about as close to perfect as is available today. The ONLY thing I wish is it would vacuum, then mop without me having to add the mopping pads; (The manual says for best results vacuum without the pads installed). Still, a fantastic product
@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 The manual states for best vacuuming you should remove the mop pads. So, if you want to vacuum AND mop, you must run the machine in vacuum mode, then when it is complete and returns to the docking station, install the mopping pads and run the machine again. There is no provision in the Ecovacs for identifying carpet when mopping. So, when in mopping mode I had to either pick up my rugs (only a couple small ones) or identify them in the app as a no-go zone; you don’t want the machine mopping over your carpet. With the Roborock, if you want to vacuum and mop, you are able to do it in one run. The machine will vacuum the floor from the front and mop from the rear at the same time. If it comes to carpet or a rug, then the mopping pad is withdrawn in to the machine and it will only vacuum, then when back on the hard floor the mopping pad is extended and it continues to vacuum and mop. This is a HUGE advantage in my opinion over the Ecovacs. Not only does it only take one run to complete both vacuuming and mopping, but it also saves the hassle of picking up the rugs in my house or identifying them in the app as a no-go zone before every mopping run. Just my opinion, but it was a big enough of a deal for me to sell my Ecovacs and purchase the Roborock. I am very very happy with that decision.
Wow thank you so much for your time to reply and for the information as well. I still confused doesn’t know which one to decide, since the price ain’t cheap, I really need time to review and collect many information as much as I can. Both ecovacs or roborox- they actually doesn’t spray water right? They only using wet pad to mop. No water spray to the floor like other robot vacuum?
@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 That is correct, the Ecovacs has two rotating brushes that get wet and scrub the floor, the Roborock has a vibrating mop pad that gets wet from the machine. If you want one that sprays water and then mops the only one that I know is the IRobot M6 (but it doesn’t have a vacuum).
Hi Alex, may i know does this x1 omni used up alot of electricity? And how many hours it will take to charge up. Thank you so much for the nice video review.
when you open up the dirty water tank there is bound to be some smell but still alright. There isn't any new features to handle long hair or fur, so if you have issues with previous robots then its probably going to be the same
I bought it on the 25th during their launch sale and was waiting for your review! Glad to know you have good comments about it 👍🏻 excited to use it soon!

Hello Alex, thanks for you videos, how if you experience after 9 months?
Also how wet the floor is after mopping?
I bought a new one and, even with max water usage, I only have a very thin trail of wet on the floor (no trail with lower usage); not sure if mine is malfunctioning or if this is expected.
hmm is this your first time using robovac with mopping? their mopping are not those very wet type, but having said that the x1 do feels a little less wet as well so i have it set to max water usage too. I suggest to manual wash the pads once a while as well, if not they will become kinda hard and that will affect the water flow
Hi Alex . Phew ! I watched your robotic cleaners about 1 1/2 years ago and then recently the last three months , I could not find your videos . However today I found your video and now have saved it . Thank you for all your hard efforts making these informative videos .
May I ask if you’re still happy with the ecovacs X1 omni as the reviews in Europe are pretty poor regarding customer support ? Thank you . FP
come to my channel under videos then you will find everything haha, I don't make a lot of videos so should be quite easy to search.
Ya I am satisfied with the X1 and still using it now. The support I got from ecovacs is very good but I am not sure is it because I got special treatment so can't comment on that haa
Thanks for another wonderful video, Alex. Any feedback on how this device compares with the Dreame W10 Pro?
i will take L10S over Ecovacs X1... W10 pro is not a good comparison anymore
In Amazon it’s priced 1633.50 in my country I’ll wait till it drop the price to 1000 dollars then I’ll take it.
Hi Alex, thank you for the review and your other reviews. May I ask if the above will be useful for a maisonette unit?
yup of course, just a little troublesome because you need to bring the robot up and down
Thank you! I always enjoy & learn much from your videos. 加油！
Great review @Alex Teo, just wondering if the mop heads leave swirl marks on hard tile floors?
hdb default kitchen tiles considered as hard tile floor? if yes then it works fine on it
can this be used with normal detergent mixed in the clean water tank?
Nope, some detergent are too strong and will clog the internal pipes
I am tossing up between the Omni, the Roborock S7 VMax Ultra and the Bissell Spinwave R5. I am impressed with the Omni, but have found the company does not respond to emails that I have sent asking questions. This puts doubt In my mind regarding their after sales service. I like the spinning mops that the Omni and Bissell have. I don't really mind if it does have a self cleaning dock, as long as it carries water. I just want a reliable vacuum, that I will only use on tiles and one that maps well. I feel the spinning mops will get into the grout better than the pad, but I may be wrong. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer. I do enjoy your honest videos
i will suggest to go with either ecovacs or roborock, bissell is really not known for their robovac. The cleaning performance is actually very similar, nothing very special about spinning mop pads. The roborock allows you to access to the internal water tank directly, you might like that more. In terms of after sales support, I think it defers based on where you stay
Thanks for the review, like your suggestion for next gen, auto refill and drain! Bought it but yet to try.
ya whichever come out with self drain in singapore first I am sure to get it
@@AlexTeo me too
Will you do a comparison review for x1 omnia and roidmi Eva? Both looks very similar in terms of the self cleaning functionality. Even under the hood seems the same lol
will cover the new models from ecovacs, roborock and dreame this year
Liked on general principle due to the ff posters! Lol but a great video too of course!
unexpected surprise to see ff fans on a robot vacuum video haha
@@AlexTeo haha right?! I do have a quick question. I hear that ecovacs have better mopping plates that will put down more water but I'm unsure how to get them. Would I have to reach out directly to them or are they already replaced on new units shipping now? Thanks again!
Dear Alex, thank you so much for this video. My X1 Omni arrived last night and I am currently very disappointed about the little information on the features. I am in Germany and selected German as language. The voice commands: are they listed anywhere (my impression is that it is not optimized for German). I tried to change the language back to English, but that did seem to confuse the software completely (=location Germany and language English). - I have a delicate carpet that he should not mop with water and I just cannot find a way how to tell the robot not to go there, nor can I find in the app how to install a "no-go" zone - let alone what the command would be in German (which I seem to be stuck with). I also have a 4 year old Xiaomi and I must say that the mapping functionality, no-go zone drawing was very intutitive, I never needed any manual. - Now, I feel helpless after spending a long time trying to find how to define the no-go zone without any success - If anyone out there can help, I would be very very happy and grateful!
I am sorry, I had fast forwared to the special features instead of watching your entire video - so MY problem is actually solved by the machine being more intellligent than I had expected -it will not mop the carpet with water - perfect. - The other issue that someoene else mentioned: when you have more than one floor to mop (wet): we have to return it to the dock, but apparently it cannot "resume" where it left off - I have not tried it yet - but I hope there is a way to circumvent this issue (buy more docking stations...?)
Hi Alex, I’ve been watching this video for awhile now and am impressed with it. Am considering it for my upcoming home but now I am also looking at Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. What are your takes on both of these robots and which do you recommend more?
I will have a robot vaccum video coming soon next month, stay tuned! S8 ultra is not in my recommendation
Thanks for the review. Bought it after watching your vid. Quick question: have you ever gotten the error "The Cleaning Sink is full." ?
hmm nope, never
Thanks so much for this helpful review. So excited to see the automation of the new Deebot. I have the 950 and T8, but am constantly changing pads because I partitioned my floor into smaller areas ( like you I have issue with one small pad cleaning whole house). Can be a chore with constant changing. May I check with you regarding the hot air drying? How long does it take to dry the cleaning pad? An electrician told me anything with heat uses a lot of energy😮.
takes about 3 hours, no idea how much electricity is consumed, didnt measure that
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how many square feet can a full tank clean? I want to see if I can use it to clean a hardwood basketball court.
even if all mop related settings are set to the lowest, I think it will barely made it
Hi! Very comprehensive review. Thanks! Can we decide whether to mop or vaccination only when using?
Great review!! Thanks Alex .
Will the hair entangle the wheel or the brush and if it does, isn’t easy to remove them?
wheel not really, main brush yes. I won't say it's super easy to remove but it's not difficult
Hi Alex. Thks for the great info. Can X1 integrate with SmartThings?
Nope, most of the things you want to do will always have to go back to the ecovacs app
almost three months old review, your views now ? are you still 100% satisfied ? can this save three floor maps ?
i'm never 100% satisfied haha, but I will still pick this over any other robovac out there now. The xiaomi one all-in-1 is something i really want to test out especially it's so much cheaper
@@AlexTeo gotcha bro
@@AlexTeo please try out Roidmi Eva
@@AlexTeo what's the downside you dont like of this?
Actually I was looking around the websites and can’t find the recommended cleaning solution?
just google ecovacs x1 omni cleaning solution
www.ecovacs.com/us/deebot-winbot-accessories/deebot-cleaning-solution-110ml
Any updates in the app when it comes to the lack of mopping when it finds carpet or a rug?
nope but they have newer models coming up that you might want to look at
@@AlexTeo thanks. We want to get one soon.
@@discomfortzone suggest to wait for this year's released models from roborock and dreame as well before making your purchase decision
Great & detailed review!
Would be great if you can review the LG styler as well! (:
i don't know man haa, that product is a bit weird for me
Those considering should buy now as it's so much cheaper as mine was purchased at $1,800.
Great video as always Alex :) indeed auto empty like the washing machine will be great. What colour and brand is the vinyl in the room with the Ecovacs the darker brown one.
thanks thanks, cannot remember already haha
Alex, my house has 2 lvl story, how should I apply this robot, I planned to put it 1st floor, am I able to clean the 2nd lvl too ? Like how does it work if I just carry the robot and put it on the 2nd floor ? (Without the station)
What do you think ?
Thanks you’re awesome !
yeah you have to physically carry the robot to the 2nd floor, it supports multi level map
Thanks for the review, this is really tempting! As an owner of 1 dog and 4 cats.. i do wonder how fast i will go through those dust bags 😅
ya shedding is really a big headache, luckily my dog don't shed much
the water tank capacity is only 80 ML on Deebot X1 omni where as other models like the t8 model is 240 ml. with such a small water tank will it not need frequent docking ?
take it as cleaning the mop pads at the same time
Hi Alex, can feature on window and door sound proofing.
Great review, love that you mention noise impressions too, so many other reviews seem to be instructed it seems by manufacturers to not touch the subject at all. As you know since you're a dog owner too, sound is important for people with pets :)
I'm just a little worried getting replacement bags in the long term here in Europe. Also we tend to have quite some lime in the drinking water. Do they touch this in the manual ? Should you use demineralized water, or can you use like a 50% vinegar mix to keep the station and water channels clean ?
No clue about that, maybe reviews from europe youtuber will be able to give you a better insight to that :)
How does this or any other robot works while running on vaccum mode and it encounters wet areas like dog's drools or splashes of water??
typically robots will just mop over it
Alex
Does long hair gets emptied into the dust bag or remain entwined in the vacumn brush only ? TX
for long hair there is a high chance some will get entangled onto the brush so it's not 100%, same applies to other robovac
Great video Alex! I have the ecovac T9 and hair tangling is the greatest issue as my wife has long hair. I have to manually clean the robot each week to rid the long hair.
How does this automatic cleaning do with hair?
as long as it manage to get to the internal dustbin then it will sucked to the dust bag. No robots out there can easily deal with long hair
@@AlexTeo There is one. You can check Hobot D7.
yes I have the same version of the ecovacs, the only issue is the tangling hair, so I set it clean 1/2 room at a time, not all the entire house, it works okay there is still a little amount of tangling hair but better than before
The earlier AES has 2 hole, so the hair pulling from each other hole
Sorry if my English is bad
Planning to buy this omni soon , but yeah it is pretty expensive
@@marcinmarcin4566 thanks ! May i know if Hobot D7 has a dust bin for auto collecting dust?
Good review - detailed. Would like to check how do you initiate the 2-4 hour hot air cleaning of the mopping pads on your X1 Omni?
Its a setting on the app
I have an x1e and after 70mq the battery runs out and then it need lot of hours to get recharged... Is this normal? Is the x1 version morr performant? I am thinking to return it because the cleaning is always incomplete...
Seeing how the cleaning solution that came with the robot is not sold. What other cleaning solutions do you recommend to go with this Deebot? Thanks.
It should come in later, you can go with tineco or hizero solution too
@@AlexTeo thanks! Will check those out
Looking at your video, I have a question plz, when you placed the station near the washing machine, do you have enough Space to open the station top lid and take off the water tank (considering the wood top above the machine) ? I have similar Space in my home and Wonder if such station would fit in such a place. Thx
yeah enough space, I am placing it there permanently
@@AlexTeo great thx. Do you know the size of the clean/dirty water tanks ?
Hi Alex, for my household with a small dog, is the dreamy L10S or this Ecovac X1 Omni better?
how small? small dog poop are very very small, robot AI might not be able to detect it. But overall dreame L10S better
@@AlexTeo it’s a Pomeranian dog so quite small.
There are 3rd party customize modules on Taobao to fully automate the water in/out.
ya i want the companies to develop that officially for the global market
Hi Alex, i just got the x1 omni today... By any chance would you know why my x1 omni is already asking me to refill the water tank after just 1 cleaning session? Have previously filled it to the max on the first time.
Did you physically check whether there are still water inside the clean water tank? I suggest you take some time to observe what the bot is doing in one cleaning session, such as how many times it did the self cleaning, and is there excess water leaking out during the cleaning
Hi Alex, may i know where is the battery located?
no clue, didn't dismantle it before
Hi Alex, I would like to check if you have an issue with the clean water tank dispensing out? I bought the X1 from china and am looking for a troubleshooting solution as I do not have a warranty locally.
Nope i havent encounter such issue before
It'd be nice to have a bagless option for the auto empty Dock, similar to the roborock. How does the robot handle accidental liquid spillage while it's running? Will it avoid the spot or just vacuum over it?
but roborock kinda remove that in their maxV/G10S series already. Liquid spill? the robot will definitely try to mop it away
@@AlexTeo Roborock is going to have a washable bag soon.
I don't know if I prefer this style mopping pad or roborock...I don't like the idea of having to remove the pad when it needs to vacuum
@@pinogatto3540 tbh I'm a bit concerned with liquid getting mixed with the dust during vacuuming, might cause a mess during auto empty
@@ykang568it's just that the mop on the roborock lifts up when vacuuming so it doesn't touch the floor at all...also if it sees carpet, it lifts so it doesn't touch
Hi alex, can i ask if u only overlay your living flooring but not your bed rooms? Does the robot have issue climbing over the transition strip?
there is like a small hump to join them together, not sure exactly how to describe that
Ok cool
Can you have different maps (and different exclusion zones) for dry and wet cleaning? How about different schedules?
no, it won't have duplicates of the same map
@@AlexTeo That's one feature I would like to have. Our needs are different for dry and wet cleaning.
could have put the system that cuts hair without a doubt and very useful on the rotating brush of the vacuum cleaner, it would be perfect.
Dock is located in a carpet area (second floor) how I can send the robot to mop the bathroom? Do I need to manually put the robot inside the bathroom?
i will suggest to change the dock location, manually carrying the robot to a random spot will make it difficult for the robot to identify where it is
Great product review. Have you tried putting Dettol or any Low sud washing detergent?
dettol is no good, will definitely cloak. I put hizero and tineco detergent before
Hi Alex, does the water splatter at the front of the docking station when the mop pads are being cleaned?
Asking coz that's what I experienced for Roidmi Eva, so just want to compare.
nope, but how could that actually happen when the cleaning is like hidden inside
@@AlexTeo not too sure how it happened, but I saw water splatter out whenever it dries the mop, maybe air dry + spin dry? Could be a design flaw.
@@smlhng hmm mine not even a single droplet, that's why I am like puzzled how is that even possible
How it electricity consumption?
good video ; thanks
I have a big dog with lots hair. Will this work for pick up hair and not get stuck?
ya it depends on how frequent you let the robot runs
Hi, thanks for this video. Any noticeable increase in electricity bill?
not really, infact my bill has been decreasing, all time low in the past 6 months
Yo Alex, thanks. Any comparison between Roidmi Eva Smart Robot vs X1 Omni?
Nah don't think i will cover that
Hi Alex
Great review!
I'm still a bit confused with the mopping pads and carpet cleaning thing.
I have carpets almost in every room.
If I want to vaccum and mop at the same time, can I still use Omni with the mopping pads and set the carpet areas as a forbidden zone?
Or is there another way to do so without having to remove the mopping pads?
TBH I'm a lazy cleaner 😇
Also, my house has 2floors.
Do I need to start from the 1st floor, or Omni knows how to take the scales?
I'm new in this vaccum automation life, and wonder if omni or roborock would be the best fit for me.
hihi, the newer generation of vacuum robots with mopping is they will avoid going up the carpets to avoid dirtying them, so basically they will just vacuum and mop on hard floors. If you want to vacuum carpets, you have to manually remove the mopping component. Roborock S7 and after has the feature to lift up the mopping by around 1cm when it detects carpet. So it depends on what kind of carpets are in your rooms, if they are low pile carpets then go for roborock as it can clean everything in 1 single cleaning session. If not, then maybe can consider getting 2 robots instead, 1 to do vacuum and 1 to do mopping. Since you have 2 floors, they can run concurrently as well
I have a J7+ for vacuuming and a Narwal for mopping. Great combo.
@@jasonrusso7 Thanks, can you please give me the full brand name? I'm new with all the codes 🙃😇
@@anne-laurencezanclan5651 iRobot J7+ and Narwal T10. The narwal is actually a vacuum too, but it's a much better mop, so I leave the mop pads on it. The two combined cost the same as 1 Omni
Thx for the video. How often do you have to clean the base station if you mop everyday, two Times a day. Thx
Its actually up to indivdual tolerance degree, for me i will be doing it once a month
@@AlexTeo Are you serious ? I have read some users feedback from china stating they have to clean the base every 3 moping sessions and that it was a pain to do it.
@@theattorney6072 ya serious 100%, so far i only clean twice. First is with some tissue to see how dirty it is, 2nd time is in the video
@@AlexTeo You must have a very clean environment with no pets maybe. For people with pets, garden and mud I Guess it must be a lot more often as the debris must go Somewhere in the base ...
@@theattorney6072 u mean people use robot in a garden?!? I think from my video its pretty obvious i got a dog haa, else i need to give him more screentime already. Anyways if you are mopping it everyday, your floor wont be dirty. The debris is supposed to be washed into the dirty water tank
Hi Alex. Would I be able to activate the cleaning remotely when I am out of the house? Also, is this still your preferred robot after 1 year? Thanks!
yes you can remote control via the app. My current recommended robot is the dreame L10s
Do you have a review of it?
@@zhisenxie2106 yup there is
I have had mine one week, and absolutely love it! It is about as close to perfect as is available today. The ONLY thing I wish is it would vacuum, then mop without me having to add the mopping pads; (The manual says for best results vacuum without the pads installed). Still, a fantastic product
Any updates? Still working well for you?
What do you mean? So the vacuum is not work if you didn’t removed the mop pad?
@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 The manual states for best vacuuming you should remove the mop pads. So, if you want to vacuum AND mop, you must run the machine in vacuum mode, then when it is complete and returns to the docking station, install the mopping pads and run the machine again. There is no provision in the Ecovacs for identifying carpet when mopping. So, when in mopping mode I had to either pick up my rugs (only a couple small ones) or identify them in the app as a no-go zone; you don’t want the machine mopping over your carpet. With the Roborock, if you want to vacuum and mop, you are able to do it in one run. The machine will vacuum the floor from the front and mop from the rear at the same time. If it comes to carpet or a rug, then the mopping pad is withdrawn in to the machine and it will only vacuum, then when back on the hard floor the mopping pad is extended and it continues to vacuum and mop. This is a HUGE advantage in my opinion over the Ecovacs. Not only does it only take one run to complete both vacuuming and mopping, but it also saves the hassle of picking up the rugs in my house or identifying them in the app as a no-go zone before every mopping run. Just my opinion, but it was a big enough of a deal for me to sell my Ecovacs and purchase the Roborock. I am very very happy with that decision.
Wow thank you so much for your time to reply and for the information as well. I still confused doesn’t know which one to decide, since the price ain’t cheap, I really need time to review and collect many information as much as I can. Both ecovacs or roborox- they actually doesn’t spray water right? They only using wet pad to mop. No water spray to the floor like other robot vacuum?
@@notmymonkeynotmycircuss9537 That is correct, the Ecovacs has two rotating brushes that get wet and scrub the floor, the Roborock has a vibrating mop pad that gets wet from the machine. If you want one that sprays water and then mops the only one that I know is the IRobot M6 (but it doesn’t have a vacuum).
Hi Alex, may i know does this x1 omni used up alot of electricity? And how many hours it will take to charge up. Thank you so much for the nice video review.
sorry didn't pay attention to the power consumption of it, can't advise
Does the dirty water tank smell since u only throw it out once a week ? And is there hair/ fur tangling issue ?
when you open up the dirty water tank there is bound to be some smell but still alright. There isn't any new features to handle long hair or fur, so if you have issues with previous robots then its probably going to be the same
I bought it on the 25th during their launch sale and was waiting for your review! Glad to know you have good comments about it 👍🏻 excited to use it soon!
wow that's fast!
@@AlexTeo managed to collect some vouchers and it was a good discount that I couldn’t pass up 😂
@@coach.jaytee How much did you pay for it? Today Lazada Bday sale can get for 1443. Torn whether to buy it now or wait a few more months!
@@AlexTeo Thanks! But your link is the Turbo. What's the difference?
@@cktalon7519 ahhh my mistake, that's without auto empty
P.s. your dog is so cute 😍
Yup he is absolutely 😁
I will wait for one that can hook up pipes for input clean water and output dirty water, like fridge that can make ice
Hopefully next year
Hi Alex. I run a 5g mesh wifi network at home instead of a dual band. Do you think there will be any issues in connecting the x1 to wifi
nope no issues
Hi Alex,
Can I add some Dettol antiseptic inside it?
nope dettol will definitely clog
How about few drops of floor cleaner?
A great one. Would you please also do the review for Roborock S7 MaxV?
provided someone lend me willing to lend me for review haa
