  A perfect combination of vacuum and mop

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo all in one offers everything in a household vacuum cleaner and mop. It truly makes life easy and does its Job effectively. Unpacking and build quality: The X2 combo comes nicely pack in a big and sturdy box, internal components are protected with soft cloth like wrappings with styrofoam. It comes with extension attachments for the handheld vacuum. Base station has a dedicated compartment to store these small attachment safely while handheld unit rest and charge on the station itself. I like the ability to charge the handheld unit on the base station. it is a game changer and save a lot of space and unnecessary hassle to make holes in the walls to hang. The base station has dedicated containers for clean and dirty water, those are removable. Set up and first run: The instruction manual is detailed and clear. download the ecovacs home app, create an account, scan the QR code on the robot, and then app will guide you to connect to WiFi. After that making is easy. remove all small things from the floor and let the robot vacuum access all the area where you want regular cleaning. map in the app can be edited and adjusted with virtual boundaries. With the press of a button or voice command the Deebot is ready to clean - Vacuum, mop and vacuum + Mop Performance and function: The Deebot can recognize the floor type and lift the mop on the carpet and can adjust the vacuum power based on the floor type. The water flow can be adjusted, vacuum power can be adjusted in the app. The deebot have numerous sensors on the robot vacuum that recognize the objects and avoid them while cleaning. I am impressed with effective cleaning with silent function. both the vacuums are noticeably silent while in operation. The robot vacuum has a camera and the live video feed can be seen in the app. This kind of useful also useful when one is away from the home and wants to check the home - like a second webcam. After the vacuum session base station auto-empty the vacuumed stuff in a vacuum bag. no hassle of emptying the vacuum urself. the handheld vacuum is light and mighty. Both the vacuums are equipped with HEPA filters. The succession power of the handheld vacuum is really good. the different attachments are good for vacuuming carpet, floor, curtains, and also for car. Ecovas claimed 60 min runtime on normal mode and 15 min on max power. I felt this is okay to keep the weight within limits to operate it with one hand. Mop: Compared to other robot mops one thing I like about the Deebot is that it has rotating mops, that mimics hand motion, the mop is cleaned every 10/15 min during the moping session. The water flow can be adjusted. these functions make sure that the floor is effectively cleaned not just WIPED with wet mop pad. after the moping the base station cleans the pad and dry them on the station. Great. Overall, i like the effectiveness of the cleaning and easy to operate the vacuum. this combo has everything that make the cleaning very easy. The unit does its job at the best.

  Super happy with this, dare I say the best?

  TL;DR: Pros and Cons Pros: Excellent overall performance Powerful suction Incredibly user-friendly Effective cleaning Highly convenient Relatively quiet operation Engaging 3D mode Useful camera viewing Kid prevention mode Swift mapping process Alexa and Google Home Integration Cons: Slow charging Struggles with shaggy carpets Static attracts dog hair and dust to the robot Rapid battery drain during vacuuming and mopping Tendency to get lost in complex environments Room for improvement in clutter avoidance Initial Impressions: At the beginning, I had concerns about the setup, learning curve, and maintenance. It was all for nothing because after a few days of use, I was pleasantly surprised by its ease of use and maintenance. AND I picked up on its feature set super easy. The well-packaged components were quickly assembled, and the app guided me through the rest of the setup process effortlessly. It's practically plug-and-play for those comfortable following visual instructions and accessing the app. Handheld Performance: The handheld vacuum's charging time was slow and disappointing, but once it was fully charged, it efficiently cleaned the entire first floor, including a dog bed, stairs to the basement and upstairs, and the bathroom, without running out of power. Despite occasional reductions in RPM, its performance was satisfactory and sufficient for my needs! I appreciated the thoughtful design of the filters and dust bin! Magnets were holding the filter and dust bin in place, which I feel should be adopted by more companies. So much nicer than the 'twist and lock' method of other vacs out there! Robot Performance: The robot's appearance is appealing, and its cleaning capabilities are impressive. The mopping function also performed well. However, the camera's front-facing position caused concerns due to hair getting stuck on the lens, potentially affecting its visibility. While this issue hasn't been problematic so far, it's a source of occasional stress. What's kind of cool about this is, within the App, there's a 'hours run' timer and after so many hours it'll tell you to clean off the sensors and camera. Which I think is a nice touch! The noise level is reasonable, with occasional loud bursts during high-power operation, which I find acceptable given their infrequency. Mapping and Obstacle Avoidance: During the mapping phase, the robot struggled with my shaggy rug. I resolved this by pausing the process and setting a boundary near the rug's location. This led to a minor mapping error, with my living room now considered part of the kitchen. Fortunately, this can be corrected in the map editor. Or just simply re-map and lift the rug out the way and let it identify the room properly. I was too lazy for that and just used the map editor. The robot's collision avoidance capabilities are decent. It excels in situations where there is minimal clutter and human presence, such as when everyone is asleep. However, it faces challenges when navigating around clutter and humans during the daytime. While it prioritizes avoiding humans, the overall cleaning process becomes slower. It took significantly longer to clean the main floor than it normally does with clutter and people present. It also seemed to get lost a lot during that hectic situation. So, I highly recommend running it at night and cleaning up the clutter first. Overall Assessment: While it's not flawless, this device offers the best experience I've had with robotic vacuums, and I highly recommend it. It's fun too, letting my kiddos name the robot made it more 'human' for them and it's cute watching them say hello to it. Bonus: There's a voice assistant as well... Yiko is the name and the call word to wake it, but I didn't find it useful since it has integration with Alexa and Google Assistant and most of the same functions can be done with your own home platform.

  Verdict: The DEEBOT X2 Combo all-in-one robot vacuum/mop and handheld vacuum is simply amazing! I had a bad experience eight years ago with a different brand of robot vacuum so I stayed away from them until now… This was a very different experience. This little marvel is high-tech, innovative, convenient, effective, and easy to use. I most highly recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a handheld vacuum, and also interested or willing to include the convenience of a robot vacuum. Installation. Given how many pieces are involved, installation was much easier than expected. I think it could use a better quick start guide, or a QR code that loads a video, but I love that there are basic instructions on the box and on the base station. The app had a video too actually. Assembly was intuitive and I had no issues putting everything together and getting the system up and running. I setup Yiko (the voice assistant), which works reasonably well to do basic tasks, but I prefer to use the app. When starting, you should select “start mapping” so that the robot can make a full map of your house in relation to the base station and so that you can name each room for individual room cleaning later. You can also map several floors, which we did, and now absolutely love to use this robot on multiple floors. You should watch the robot during initial mapping so that you can remove obstacles and see where it gets stuck so that you can create boundaries on the map later. The App. The ECOVACS app is intuitive and powerful. From the app, you can control the basic functions of the robot (vacuum, mop, or both), manage multiple floors of maps, edit maps, name rooms, automate certain station tasks, adjust cleaning parameter (suction strength, amount of water usage for mopping), setup a schedule for cleaning, setup boundaries, shop for supplies, etc. The features go on and on… It’s awesome. By far, my favorite features is seeing the cleaning path of the robot across the entire map (you can also watch the live video of the cleaning from the robot camera as it happens). I also love the ability to customize exactly what kind of cleaning I want (vacuum only, mop only, both, what days, what rooms, etc.). Just from the automated schedule, the house is always clean now, and we don’t have to do anything, except for checking on the robot every few days. I did use the app to order new mop pads and mop cleaning liquid; quite convenient! Base Station. The station is quite big and noticeable actually, but it looks nice, so I don’t really mind leaving it in any part of the house. The robot and handheld vacuum are cool, but I think the station is actually the best part of the package. The station charges the robot, cleans the mopping pads of the robot, hot-air-dries the mopping pads, auto-cleans the dust bin of the robot (what?!!!!!), it charges the handheld vacuums, it holds the large stick brush for the handheld vacuum, it holds (and hides) all the small vacuum accessories, AND it auto-cleans the dust bin of the handheld vacuum!!!! It’s just amazing! I don’t mind vacuuming the floors, but I do mind cleaning the dust bins of the vacuum, and now, I never have to do it again. When I place the vacuum back into the station, it automatically turns on suction and clears out the dustbin! When the robot is done vacuuming and mopping, the station cleans the mopping pads and the dustbin upon the robot’s return to the station! The base station cleaning tray gets dirty, but the excellent design allows for easy removal and separate rinsing of the cleaning tray. Robot Performance. We have mostly hardwood floors on the main floor, with a few high pile shag rugs, and we have tiles in the basement. The robot did not do well on the shag rugs; it struggled to move and got tangled twice. Easy fix: I put a virtual boundary around the shag rugs and just avoided the issue for the robot. I do think the robot should recognize high pile carpet and avoid it, or better yet, remember that it gets stuck at the same location every time and avoid that location in the future. The robot does a wonderful vacuum job on the hardwood, picking-up dog hair, dust, and other items. I am very happy with the performance, although sometimes it will avoid hairballs because it thinks it’s an obstacle! I just adjusted the settings so that it targets coarse dirt and slightly bigger stuff to see if it will pick the hairballs in the future. We do not mop the hardwood floor, so I didn’t try the mop on the hardwood. In the basement, the robot does a very nice job at vacuuming and mopping the tile floor. The mop pads move in circular motion and are quite effective in cleaning. Vacuum and mop took about 74min for 700 sq feet, which I think is perfectly fine since I don’t have to do it or watch the robot do it. Notifications are actually helpful so the robot can provide updates and warning. Navigation. The robot’s navigation is remarkable. The robot rarely bumps into things (really just things with skinny legs, like chairs). It knows where it is on the map at all times. At first, it cleans the whole perimeter of the area that you select to clean. Then it gently navigates the entire interior area to methodically clean each inch of flooring. It does a very good job at reaching corners and wall edges with the edge brush. If cleaning is pause and the robot caried back to the station (let’s say to refill the water for mopping on a different floor), when the robot is returned to its previous location, it will calibrate to locate where it is and then resume cleaning exactly where it left off before the pause. Multi-floor setup. We setup up the robot for two floors. We placed the base station on the main floor because we would like the hardwood vacuumed three times a week to pick up the dog hair and keep everything looking nice. I also mapped out the basement, which is tiled. We only want to clean the basement once a week. Using the “vacuum only” option for the basement is very easy; I carry the robot downstairs and start the vacuum on the app. The robot cleans the whole basement, then I get a notification and I carry the robot back up the stairs to the base station. However, for mopping, it’s more tricky because the robot runs out of water twice during the mopping of the 700 sq feet. The app right now is not telling me that the robot needs more water; I noticed it because I heard the robot saying that it couldn’t locate the base station and that it was going to just “keep cleaning…” But then I noticed that the mop pads were dried out. At that point, I carried the robot back to the station, and the station cleaned the pad and refilled the water. When I carried the vacuum back to the basement, the mop pads were once again moist and scrubbing away. An important improvement for me would be that the robot sends a notification if it needs to go back to the base station and cannot find it, or if it needs a water refill. Otherwise, I am wasting half the cleaning time with a mop that is completely dry. The other important note about multi-floor setup is that if you want to mop a different floor, you need to first select vacuum/mop or mop while the robot is on the base station so that it fills the robot with water. Then, pick up the robot and carry it to a different floor and then select “clean.” If you don’t do that, the robot will be mopping with dry pads. Handheld vacuum. The handheld unit looks sleek and vacuums quite well actually. It has two power settings: low and high. Unfortunately, the screen only shows the battery level, and not the power setting, but it’s easy to tell just based on the sound from the vacuum. The power brush works well on hardwood, carpet, and rugs. It’s comfortable to hold and not too heavy. I really appreciate the headlight on the power brush. Things I love: - All-in-one package that cleans your house automatically on a schedule, and then cleans itself!!! - The robot is high-tech and high-quality. Navigation is impeccable and cleaning excellent - The base station is amazing; it’s the feature that makes it all worth it for me - Great battery life. I can clean two floors on one charge - The whole package (station, handheld, and robot) looks great - I love the attachments for the vacuum and really appreciate that they store nicely into the base station - Yiko voice assistant is a nice touch - The robot is actually pretty quiet; I don’t really notice when it’s cleaning - My dog isn’t afraid of it, he figured out that he doesn’t have to move and the robot just goes around him, lol - You can use the robot to view something in your home while you are away! Like to check on the dog! - Thank you for the extra vacuum bags! I wish it included a small sample of cleaning liquid to get started on the mop though. Things I don’t love: - There is a screen on the handheld vacuum. It might as well say the performance mode of the vacuum when toggling between high and low - The robot should avoid high-pile rugs, or learn where it gets stuck and either avoid it or recommend an automatic boundary around the trouble area - The muti-floor function needs a bit more work. If selecting to mop a floor that doesn’t have a base station, the robot should say after the mop pads are cleaned “ready to be moved to the basement” (or other floor). Then when placed on the floor, it should say “please select clean in the app to get started.” Then, the robot should send a notification about being out of water, or for any other issue, when it is operating on a floor that doesn’t have a base station Overall, this is an incredible robot and vacuum package. I can’t believe how much I love it and the difference it’s making for us. Is it too expensive? Before receiving it, I thought it was probably too expensive. Now that I see what it can do… it’s worth every single penny. It’s a life-changer. My trust in the ECOVACS brand is through the roof right now. I most highly recommend the DEEBOT X2 complete package.
