If you’ve ever watched your robot vacuum skid around the edges of a sticky mess or limp over a pile of pet hair like it’s asking for help, you’ll want to keep reading. ECOVACS is back with not one but two new DEEBOTs, the X9 PRO OMNI and T80 OMNI, armed with their signature OZMO Roller Mop technology and a laundry list of genuinely useful features. Think of these as your new cleaning sidekicks that actually know what they’re doing, minus the complaints.
Rethinking the Mop Game Because Dirty Water Should Stay in the Dirty Tank
The OZMO Roller Mop is what makes these DEEBOTs worth paying attention to. Most robot mops (and traditional ones, let’s be honest) tend to slosh around the same murky water across your floors, basically giving bacteria a free ride around the house. ECOVACS tackled that with a system that actively self-washes in real time, so the mop roller always stays clean while it’s working. The robot carries two tanks—one for fresh water, one for the gunk—and knows exactly when to rinse, refresh, and keep going.
Originally seen in the DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI, this mop tech is now available in the new X9 PRO OMNI and T80 OMNI, meaning you don’t have to buy the top-tier model to get a hygienic clean.
Meet the X9 PRO OMNI: The Overachiever of Robot Vacuums
Let’s talk about the X9 PRO OMNI first, because this one came to impress. It’s a high-end model with a laundry list of tricks that make it feel more like a cleaning assistant and less like a toy that bumps into furniture.
The headline feature is the combination of the OZMO Roller Mop with a suction system called BLAST. No, it’s not a marketing buzzword; it stands for Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology. Instead of just sucking up crumbs with brute force, the X9 PRO uses a carefully tuned 100-watt motor, smart airflow design, and fan blades that are engineered to be both efficient and quiet. That means it doesn’t just vacuum, it vacuums well. It can handle large homes without overheating, losing power, or making a racket.
If you have carpets, the X9 PRO also automatically lifts the mop out of the way, so you’re not dragging wet rollers over plush flooring. Got a little spill? No problem. The brushes lift when wet messes are detected, which helps avoid smearing or cross-contamination. This makes it especially practical for homes where tile, wood, rugs, and carpet all live in the same space.
Hair wrap? Not an issue here. The upgraded ZeroTangle 3.0 brush system, basically a cyclone-style main brush and inward-bent side brushes, works like a charm to prevent hair from getting tangled up. It is excellent news for pet owners or anyone who sheds like they’re in a shampoo commercial.
Corners and edges are often where dust bunnies go to retire, but the X9 PRO doesn’t ignore those spots. The TruEdge 2.0 system uses 3D sensors and extending brushes to really get into those wall lines and awkward corners. This isn’t just for show—if you’ve got kids dropping crumbs everywhere or a dog that tracks in dirt near the baseboards, you’ll see the difference.
And of course, the whole thing connects to an OMNI Station. This is where the robot goes to wash its mop, dry it with 145°F hot air (bacteria hate that), and prep for the next round without you lifting a finger. You won’t have to manually clean the mop every few days, which is a massive win for busy households.
The X9 PRO OMNI is priced at $1,599 on the ECOVACS site and Amazon, but through May 19, they’re knocking $300 off, bringing it down to $1,299. If your floor situation is chaotic, this might be the peacekeeper it deserves.
The T80 OMNI: Everyday Clean, Upgraded
Now, if you love the idea of a self-washing mop but don’t need all the bells, whistles, and high-end pricing of the X9 PRO, the T80 OMNI might be your sweet spot. It’s the first mid-range DEEBOT to pack in the same real-time, roller-based OZMO mopping system, and it doesn’t cut too many corners to get there.
The T80 still brings 16 times more downward pressure than standard mops and keeps the mop clean as it works, meaning you’re not just moving dirt around—you’re actually cleaning. That’s especially helpful in homes with kids, pets, or just everyday foot traffic that seems to attract mystery gunk like a magnet.
Like the X9, it features ZeroTangle 3.0 for brush maintenance, which basically takes care of itself. It also includes AI Instant Re-Mop. This is a clever little perk where the robot will detect if it’s gone over something sticky, like juice, jelly, or something less pleasant, and automatically go back to mop that area again—no need to watch it or send it back in like a toddler who missed a spot.
The T80 also docks with the same OMNI Station, which handles mop washing, drying at a slightly gentler 113°F, and auto-refills the water tank. You get the same hands-free experience without the flagship price tag. At $1,199, it’s already a strong value, but until May 19, ECOVACS is trimming $120 off the top on its site and Amazon, bringing it down to $1,079.
This one’s a great pick for apartment dwellers, families, or anyone who doesn’t want to break the bank but still wants a home that looks like it’s cleaned by someone who knows what they’re doing.
Who Should Care?
The short answer? Anyone tired of pretending that a pass with a dusty Swiffer counts as “cleaning.” But more specifically, these robots make sense for homes where the daily grind includes pets, kids, messy partners, or unpredictable spills. The X9 PRO OMNI is clearly built for bigger homes or those with a variety of floor types, while the T80 OMNI caters to smaller or simpler spaces without giving up on the cleaning tech that actually matters.
If you live somewhere with limited storage, both models have an edge: they handle everything in one go—mopping, vacuuming, self-cleaning—without requiring an arsenal of cleaning supplies.
They’re also great for people who travel frequently or work long hours. Instead of coming home to a floor that needs your attention, you’ll come home to one that’s already been handled—no passive-aggressive mop leaning in the corner, silently judging you.
Where to Buy (and Save a Little While You’re At It)
Both models are available now through Amazon and ECOVACS.com. The T80 OMNI is listed at $1,199 (CAD 1,499), and the X9 PRO OMNI rings in at $1,599 (CAD 1,999). If you snag them before May 19, you’ll get that $300 or $120 discount, respectively, because ECOVACS knows a launch isn’t really a launch without a little incentive.
The Bigger Picture: ECOVACS Isn’t Just Vacuuming
ECOVACS has been in the smart home space for over two decades and holds more than 1,000 patents. They’re behind not just vacuums, but also robotic window cleaners, air purifiers, lawn mowers, and even commercial floor scrubbers. Basically, if it needs cleaning, they’re working on a robot for it.
With the X9 PRO OMNI and T80 OMNI, ECOVACS continues to shift what “cleaning your home” can actually mean: less manual labor, more intelligent automation, and a whole lot less gross mop water.
So if you’re ready to retire that ancient sponge mop and let a robot actually do something useful around the house, now might be the time. Your floors (and your back) will thank you. Click here to check out all of the cyrrent ECOVACS robotic vacuum models.
Great news! Although my 4 cats are miraculously not afraid of a regular vacuum cleaner, I have been thinking about buying a robotic vacuum cleaner for a long time. Because there is too much hair and debris all over the apartment and it needs to be cleaned EVERY day. (But I love my cats))
Great to have
loving it clean house
I have had a Roborock for years that I’ve used to mop my floors. But the EVOVACS looks like a great jump in technology. I would love to try it.
