Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni Review
This is the best robot vacuum from Ecovacs and might be one of the top robot vacuums, according to our testing and rating. This is the Deebot X9 Pro Omni, which has the most insane specs I’ve ever seen in any robot vacuum. This AI robot vacuums, mops, and self-cleans, which means you no longer have to endure the problem of a traditional vacuum sweeper getting dirtier as it mops, because the X9 Pro cleans the roller as it cleans the floor. Amazing. And the X9 Pro’s mopping function is the best robot mop I have ever seen. This is because the patented Osmo Roller Mop applies 16 times more downward pressure compared to dual-plating mops. So even tight corners and angled baseboards are cleaned very well, and other vacuum robots just can’t do this.
PROS:
- Great suction power of 16,600Pa
- Quiet operation
- Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology
- Ozmo Roller Instant Self-Washing Mopping Technology
- For up to 150 days between manual refills.
CONS:
- Premium price tag.
- Good robot, horrible app control

What's in the Box and Initial Setup
So, what exactly do we get with the Deebot X9 Pro? Well, you get the robot vacuum, you get the charging base, and you get detailed instructions. One thing to note: the X9 Pro does not include the cleaning solution. This cleaning solution is sold separately, and it’s on Amazon for $25. Links are below. Setting up the X9 Pro is very easy. Just find an open space for the charging base and then plug it in. Next, set up the robot vacuum by removing all the packing material and then charging it on the base. So next, add cleaning solution here and then water up here. Make sure not to overfill either tank. Then download the app and connect to your vacuum. From here, you’ll follow the setup process, and then you’re good to go.
App Setup and Mapping Accuracy
You can even name your vacuum, and I named mine Dusty. Dusty the robot. So when I initially started up Dusty, it went around my entire house to map my entire floor plan. It did a great job, and Dusty was very accurate. Once Dusty is done, you’ll see the floor plan on your app. Dusty will even label each bedroom: bedroom 1, 2, 3, etc. And now the fun part. Hit the start button and let Dusty clean the house. Activate AI carpet protection mode. It will first perform vacuuming and targeted dust removal on carpets before switching to full wet vacuuming and mopping mode for other areas.
Impressive Cleaning Technology
First, we have the patented triple lift system where the side brushes, main brush, and mop will automatically raise and lower depending on the floor type and whether it’s a dry or wet spill. For instance, the mop will automatically raise when going over carpets and then lower again when returning to tile. This smart automation helps maintain optimal performance and protects your surfaces.
Smart Suction with Blast Airflow
The X9 Pro Omni also includes blast airflow technology. This means it delivers more powerful suction, which results in cleaner floors with less effort. Whether it’s pet hair, dust, or larger debris, the suction adapts accordingly. You get better cleaning in less time, without needing to manually adjust settings. The robot does it all for you with smart precision.
Intelligent Particle Control
Another cool feature is the X9 Pro’s ability to auto-detect large particles on the floor. When it senses them, it turns off the side brushes to prevent scattering. This might sound simple, but it makes a huge difference in keeping dirt from being pushed to the edges. Other vacuums usually just blow debris around. The X9 Pro handles it smarter and more cleanly.
Auto Wet Mop Feature
One of the best features is the automatic wet mop mode. The robot will shut off the side brushes and main brush while mopping, which stops smearing and ensures a cleaner result. It adjusts everything on its own, based on the cleaning task. Many vacuums can mop, but they don’t separate functions this well. The X9 Pro gets it right every time.
Deep Cleaning with Osmo Roller Mop
The Osmo Roller Mop scrubs at an impressive 220 RPMs. That’s strong enough to tackle sticky messes like dried juice or mud. The mop also has a real-time refresh system where it passes under eight water jets and scrapes away wastewater up to 200 times per minute. This keeps the mop clean as it works. Spinning mop pads just can’t compete with that level of performance.
Real-Time Spill Detection
The X9 Pro Omni uses AI to detect liquid spills like coffee creamer or water. When it identifies a wet mess, it automatically lifts the side brush and main brush to avoid smearing. That way, it vacuums only when needed and mops only when needed. Everything is handled on the spot, and there’s no guesswork involved. This saves you both time and stress.
Advanced Mop Cleaning and Drying System
The X9 Pro Omni uses AI to detect liquid spills like coffee creamer or water. When it identifies a wet mess, it automatically lifts the side brush and main brush to avoid smearing. That way, it vacuums only when needed and mops only when needed. Everything is handled on the spot, and there’s no guesswork involved. This saves you both time and stress.
Instant Self-Washing Mop
Another big advantage is the mop’s instant self-washing system. As the roller mop works, it cleans itself constantly, so you never end up with dirty water being dragged across your floor. The dirty water is scraped off and collected. This helps keep your home more hygienic and avoids the need for constant manual maintenance.
Base Station
The base station does more than just charge the robot. It also cleans and dries the mop automatically. It even uses 145° hot air to dry the mop, which helps prevent odors and mold. You’ll hear it announce when it’s cleaning or drying, so you always know what’s happening. It’s one less thing for you to worry about in your daily routine.
Most robot vacuums still require you to empty dirt bins, wash dirty mops, dry them, and reassemble parts. That’s a lot of work. But the X9 Pro Omni does all of this for you without any manual effort. You won’t have to touch dirty water or mops. The robot takes care of every step, from cleaning to drying, so you don’t have to.
When it starts washing the mopping pad with hot water, you might hear a bit of noise. The robot also begins its auto-emptying function. You may notice a slight airflow sound because of the strong suction power, but that’s totally normal. Everything is part of the automatic cleaning cycle, and you can just sit back and let it run.
Maintenance and Smart Cleaning Pattern
Probably the best feature about this robot vacuum is the hands-free maintenance. That’s right, no maintenance for up to 150 days. Wow. And that’s because the auto solution mixing saves you the hassle of measuring and refilling manually. It does it all on its own. And once again, this is a game changer. All you have to do is add the cleaning solution and fill the water tank, no worries for weeks or even months. However, the best part about this AI robot is how well it cleans. Unlike most robot vacuums, the X9 Pro doesn’t go in some random cleaning patterns. It actually vacuums and mops in a set pattern that cleans every surface. So it’s not wasting time and battery life. But there is way more to show you, so let’s get into it.
Cleaning Modes and Smart Navigation
Using the app, you can have Dusty clean the entire house, or you can pick specific rooms like bedroom 1 or bedroom 2, etc. There’s also an option for a custom spot clean as well. Here’s where it gets really interesting. The X9 Pro, or Dusty, has three different cleaning modes and four separate customization modes, all within the app. It has a vacuum-only option. This means that Dusty will vacuum our carpets, throw rugs, and all of our tile. The X9 Pro does all this in a set pattern, so our floor is thoroughly cleaned. The X9 Pro even has a sensor in the front to prevent it from hitting walls and baseboards. Pretty cool.
Smart AI and Obstacle Avoidance
The X9 Pro is the smartest robot vacuum I have ever used. With intelligent sensors and advanced AI, the X9 takes care of the thinking so I don’t have to. This includes AI VI3D, which helps the robot recognize four types of obstacles and objects with precision. In my house, this robot never got stuck, even under the dining table with all those chairs. With the AI, it always found its way out. Another cool feature is that the X9 Pro has a light. In dark areas, the light turns on so the robot can clean even when it’s dark.
Airflow, Suction Power, and ZeroTangle 3.0
The X9 Pro uses blast airflow technology, which delivers up to 34.5 CFM. It also provides up to 16,600 PA suction. PA refers to the pressure the vacuum uses to draw in air and debris. In simple terms, this means faster pickup, deeper cleaning, and better battery efficiency. To make this robot even better, it has a feature called ZeroTangle 3.0 on the main and side brushes. This helps prevent annoying hair jams. It’s extremely useful for homes with pets or long hair. After vacuuming a bathroom, there’s no hair stuck in the roller or brush.
Self-Emptying and Voice Notifications
Another great feature about the X9 Pro is its ability to empty itself. When it gets full, it returns to the base, empties out, and then resumes cleaning right where it left off. That’s a big plus. One more cool thing, the home base will announce when it’s emptying the bag or cleaning the mop. That way, you’re not startled by the noise. You might hear slight airflow sounds because of the strong suction power, but don’t worry, that’s totally normal. It’s all part of the process and nothing to be concerned about.
Two Additional Features
The X9 Pro has two additional modes that are game changers. The second mode, vacuum and mop, is my favorite. It’s perfect for our home because we have a lot of tile. In this mode, Dusty vacuums and mops at the same time, depending on the surface. This robot can even detect different types of flooring, thanks to the triple lift system. It intelligently separates dry and wet zones. On carpet, it only vacuums. On tile, it mops. If you have a lot of tile or hard floors, this is without a doubt the best mode to use.
The third mode is mopping after vacuuming. This is ideal for homes with more carpet than tile. It’s also great if your floors are really dirty, like with pets, because it vacuums first, then mops. On top of that, there are four additional settings you can tweak: suction power (with four levels), water flow (three levels), cleaning speed (three options), and the number of cleaning passes. The advanced settings menu is packed with features. My favorites are the scheduling tool and AI intelligent hosting, which auto-adjusts settings based on the room and flooring.
Smart Features AI Features
If you use the AI intelligent hosting feature, the four adjustable modes won’t be tweakable since the robot takes over. Still, it’s incredibly smart. The X9 Pro also includes stain detection 2.0. This lets it remove sticky spots automatically. That’s another standout feature. Voice control is also built in. You can use voice assistants with commands like “Okay, Yiko, please mop” or “Return to base.” The robot responds promptly and accurately. It truly feels like you’re talking to a helpful assistant, not just a cleaning machine.
Honest Verdict After 3 Weeks of Use
After testing a ton of robot vacuums, I can confidently say the X9 Pro Omni is the smartest one I’ve ever used. If you’re tired of babysitting your vacuum or untangling hair from rollers, this thing might be a game changer for you too. Here’s why.
The X9 Pro Omni has completely changed how I clean. Our tile is finally not sticky, the carpets are fresh, and the bathrooms stay hair-free.
Let’s be real, if you spend 2 hours a week cleaning floors, that’s 100 hours a year. This robot saves me that time, and honestly, that alone is worth the price.
