If you’re tired of juggling a vacuum, a mop, and a schedule, the Ecovacs Deebot X5 Pro Omni is worth a look. It’s currently priced at just $699 on Amazon (regular price is $1,049.99), its lowest price to date, according to price tracker . It’s one of those multi-robots that doesn’t just vacuum, it mops your floors, washes its attachments, and empties its dust bin. That’s part of its appeal: less daily fuss, more set-it-and-forget-it cleaning. You’ll still need to refill the water and empty the dirty water tank, but the daily maintenance is significantly reduced compared to most standalone robot vacuums .
In terms of performance, the X5 Pro Omni is a step up from other Ecovacs models like the X2 , thanks to its 12,800 Pa of suction power. In practice, this means it’s more reliable at picking up pet hair and heavier debris. Plus, at less than four inches tall, it’s compact enough to slip under couches and beds, something bulkier robots can’t do. Ecovacs has also added TruEdge Adaptive Edge Mopping to this model , which extends the mop’s hovering arm to better cover baseboards and corners. It’s not flawless (corners are still tricky), but it does a better job than the typical mop pad attached to the bottom of a robot.
Navigation is another strong point of the robot. The robot builds a detailed map and can avoid most obstacles, although cables and scattered paper still get in its way. Ecovacs has also equipped it with a voice assistant called YIKO, which responds to more natural commands, so you can tell it to clean a specific room or adjust the run without opening the app. The app itself could reportedly be a little better (it feels glitchy at times), but it’s still usable. If you want something more premium, the Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni sits higher up the line with fancier features. But for the price, the X5 Pro Omni finds a good balance between performance and convenience. For a busy home or someone who just doesn’t want to add “vacuum” to the weekly list, this might seem like a big upgrade .
