Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI in the test: luxury vacuum robot with wiping function

To find your way around the home, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI relies on one DToF laser sensor (Direct Time of Flight) of the 2nd generation and artificial intelligence AIVI 3D (Artificial Intelligence and Visual Interpretation). With the help of these technologies, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI records all surfaces and objects on which it travels very precisely. That was already evident after the fast mapping when installing the vacuum robot, in which the division of the rooms and potential obstacles were recorded almost perfectly.

Looking at both the 2D and 3D maps shows that the X1 OMNI is actually learning what’s where, even recognizing and naming the pieces of furniture for the most part on its own. In addition, the app offers the option of adding furniture manually.

the artificial intelligence also works very reliably when it comes to temporary obstacles or perceive living beings. Where vacuum robots with less complex technology like to drive against it in an irritated manner and do so for the time being until they really realize that something is or is here now, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI elegantly circumvents the whole thing and is happy to come back later.

We tested this very explicitly: The X1 OMNI came into the office and then, as soon as it recognized that we were sitting there, skipped the desk area. Only when we left the room did he head straight for the desk. A Riding against the legsthe poke child or the expel cat there is with this vacuum robot Not.

Another test was for a heap Lego bricks. After all, parents know only too well that toys sometimes get left in an unknown place. If you then rummage the Lego bricks out of the vacuum cleaner bag again, there is little joy. So we have dem Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI simply put a small collection of Legos in the middle of the room. The vacuum robot mastered the task all terrific: He realized something was there, stopped briefly and then steered around the Lego bricks with a suitable distance. Then when we removed the toy, he returned to the spot and cleaned it. Of course, with all caution, it can still happen that a single 1-piece Lego particle disappears in the X1 OMNI because it is simply very small.

Which is the same problem for an all-rounder like the X1 OMNI as for other vacuum robots swell. Our 1.8 centimeter threshold into the bathroom was an insurmountable obstacle, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI only got in here with our help (pushing). Getting down was not a problem, but the vacuum robot seemed a little irritated.

So if you don’t own a completely threshold-free apartment, you have to resort to one of various solutions: On the one hand, you can exclude corresponding rooms (if this is possible) for the overall cleaning and manually park the X1 OMNI there and let it carry out an area cleaning. On the other hand, you can work with small sleepers with tools, for example with a Rubber threshold ramp. In the case of steps, the only thing that helps is manual moving down/up and area cleaning – if there are several floors, you can also create a card for each floor and the Then park the Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI at the respective place of use.

With regard to the sensor technology, the orientation in space and the recognition of objects, one can say quite clearly that the X1 OMNI is an almost perfect performance completed and for us clearly represents the spearhead in this area. The sensitivity, the learning and the extremely targeted approach to the cleaning process fulfill what you expect robots of the future expected.
