Finally a review I can hang my hat on! Appreciate the effort you went to to provide us with this great review! Love the fact you used tools such as sound / moisture meters and didn't brush over navigation issues. I'm still trying to determine which one to get - thats iRobot j9+ Combo v this Ecovacs X2 OMNI!

I totally appreciate an honest review, thank you

The best & most honest review on this product so far! Thank you so much! Looking forward to your next video comparing the 3 robots 😊

Shocking that they send the robot out to market in this condition. Using customers as your testing is not acceptable but its not the first time ecovacs have done this. Its a shame because on paper this robot had it all. Looking forward to the comparison video Jamie. In a.side note my L20 has developed a technical fault with the auto empty. So far Dreame's customer service is lacking - sometimes its not just about how the robot perdoms but also how the company performs. We shall.see

Thank you sir for your detailed and reasonable review!! God bless you!! You made me to decide what to buy!!

Great review, i have the x1 and am tempting to upgrade to the X2 for the mop lifting alone, not to mention bigger brush, bigger battery, bigger water tank. Yea, im sold, waiting til BlackFri to upgrade

Good review waiting for the roborock vs ecovacs vs dreame video

Hi, many thanks for this great review! I own both the X2 and Dreame L20 for testing. Hard to decide which one to keep. The X2 delivers incredible results in corner cleaning while the navigation doesn't reassure me at all (even if the overall results is very good). The Dreame L20 is so much more efficient in navigation and is very disciplined (cleaning in tight straight lines) but can't clean corners as the X2 does. I can't wait to see your comparison of both before I decide which one to keep. Do you know when you will release it? Thank you

This is most honest review I have ever saw I appreciate u for that *There is one missing also u can add it to the video which it was rushing it hits the wall with out any reason and continuesly hitting until the bumber sensor got broken *I advise anyone wants to buy this is to wait like 6 months until they make all the updates necessary for fixing all the issues *Or buying T20(which is missing Avivi camera and water tank) or even buying X1 has no issue in the robot system it is great robot(only missing mop lifting which is unpopular at that time that is released)

Guys I am telling you my gllor get very dirty and are steward to clean but the x1 omni did the best cleaning job I have seen. I have never seen glossy floor that clean so the x2 is a no brainier

Helpful review. Will pass on this for now. Was ready to go for it.

As expected, a nice review! My family friend, who bought both the X2 and Dreame L20 Ultra, had a lot of issues with YIKO on the X2. He gave up after multiple tries. He also found the logic to be super dumb. He recently bought the Dreame L20 and was shocked at how much more efficient the L20 is at navigating. He absolutely loves the L20, way more than X2!

Great review. My general consenus seems it needs improved navigation, extra LIDAR sensors, & maybe a more semicircular shape. Looking forward to the comparison video. If you didn't say anything I was going to ask to do a comparison video. It will be an interesting video as they all seem to me to have different pros & cons. To be honest before purchasing a flagship, I'm now looking for something with all the features of the Ecovacs, Dreame, & Roborock. All-in-one robovacs are getting better, however I'm still not convinced it's worth the extra money to upgrade my old robovac yet.

You have the best reviews. Of all the robot models you have tested. What do you think is the best robot that washes hard floors?

Have you tested 1.70.0 fw update? it seems like it has improved its navigation with tighter paths that addresses the missing section problem.

Check out the Hobot Legee D8. Brilliant square robot for a fraction of the cost.

Great review, I was thinking of adding this bot to my collection but I think I will hold off for a while, sounds like there are still some major bugs to work out, I think Ecovacs makes great robots, I have several of them, the T8 Plus, the T9 Plus, the N10 max Plus, the T10 Plus and the X1 Plus. I have all of them set to clean everything twice, I do think Ecovacs and Roborock are the best robot brands right now, Dreametech is good too. Are you going to review the new Roomba J9 Plus or Combo J9 Plus. Irobot is really behind the competition even with their new models. They still use vslam instead of lidar for mapping and the combo model does not spin or vibrate the mop, it will automatically fill the water tank but it doesn't clean or dry the mop pads. One robot I'm thinking of getting is the Roborock Q Revo.

Thanks for the Awesome video. I had been waiting to see what your thoughts were on this robot vacumm. No wonder they have it on sale at a discounted price.😅 Sir you just saved me some money and a huge headache 😅 Now I’m trying to decide between the dreame l20 or the revo q

i'd like to see it against the Q Revo. great review! i think as 50% of vacuum robots is software, i would never buy a product with a subpar software abilities as you demonstrated. but that's just me

I was toying with getting this. We had the T20 Omni briefly but despite being 10.5cm tall it refused to go under our 12cm sofa gaps. We’re back with our Lefant M1 which has been great. Would really like to find a mopping option Lefant that works. They have a T1 but yet to see any real tests

This might get a bit long but I did get this robot earlier this week and thought I would talk about my findings. I will also talk about one thing that may not matter to most users of these robots but for me it makes a difference. I will talk about that first. I'm a blind person so I can't read print. I use speech software on my computer to read the screen and I also use the screen reader that is built in to smart phones. I do have an Iphone and a Google Pixel 7 and I have the Ecovacs app installed on both of them. The iphone has a built in screen reader called voiceover and the Pixel has a screen reader called talkback. With my other Ecovacs robots, I'm able to use all of the features and change all of the robot's settings. The only thing I can't do is divide rooms or modify the map, that requires you to draw areas on the screen and there is no way for a screen reader to read that. I'm fine with that, I always have my robots clean my entire place each time, a two bedroom apartment, all hard floors, no pets. If you look at the interface for the T10 Plus or the X1 Plus, settings such as changing the suction or the number of times to clean are very easy to find, each setting is a separate item. Also items such as map management are clearly labeled. So, I was disappointed when I started to use the interface for the X2. There is no way to change these settings using a screen reader with the X2. I asked a sighted coworker to look at the interface and the way you change these settings now is all graphical, no text labels. Another item that I can't use is the map management option, it's an unlabeled button at the top right of the screen. Some controls work fine such as changing the amount of time for drying the mops but the option to set how often the X2 should return to wash the mop pads is also inaccessible, both screen readers see the 10, 20, and 25 minute options as one control so I had to get sighted help to set it to 10 minutes, I was able to change the suction and mop wetness settings using the Yiko voice assistant. I ordered the Roborock Q Revo and it should arrive today and hopefully this model will be as accessible as the S7 Max V and S4 Max that I have, Roborock does seem to keep a fairly consistent interface so hopefully the Q Revo interface will speak fine. Now on to my other findings. Setting up the robot was easy, I had no problems attaching the ramp to the base station and figuring out how everything worked. I was also able to figure out which water tank was which based on the inside of the tanks. When I got the robot connected to the internet, there were two firmware updates, I originally had version 1.3, it updated to 1.7 and then to 1.7.5. I'm not sure what has changed with each update, the change list didn't mention anything really specific. When I sent it out for its first vacuum job, it did a map run first before starting the cleaning cycle. I'm not sure why but the robot still runs the vacuum motor during this process, the X1 Plus and T10 Plus also do this. I was a bit disappointed with the battery life, I always run all of my robots on the maximum suction power that they offer. If the robot has the power, why not allow it to do the best job that it can? The X2 has a 6400 MAH battery and is unable to do a two times cleaning job on my apartment on one charge. On the max plus setting, the battery is drained quite fast. Interestingly, my X1 Plus is also unable to clean my place twice on one charge, but my Roborock S7 Max V can and both of those have a similar suction power. One new thing I noticed on the X2 is that when switching rooms, the robot turns off the vacuum motor. This probably saves a little battery power. I should also mention that I turn obstacle avoidance off on my robots that offer it. I pick up things that could cause problems and sometimes this feature can mistake something for an obstacle and prevent all areas from being cleaned. One thing I definitely notice with the X2's navigation, it bumps in to things more than my other robots. Even with object avoidance off or when using robots that don't have this feature, sometimes it will bump in to something but it's not that common. It does seem to clean really well though I had to turn the suction down one setting in order for it to complete the job in one charge. Now on to the mopping, and here I found a major bug but I'm not sure what caused it. I don't like the idea of keeping water in the tanks all the time so I didn't fill the clean water tank until I was ready to try the mop feature. Once the tank was filled I switched to mop mode, the robot had already created the map so I was hoping for a two pass mopping of my place. It started out fine and did return to the station to clean the mop pads every 10 minutes. However, for some reason, it completely skipped mopping the living room. I didn't do any room dividing since I can't see the screen to do that but that shouldn't matter since I asked it to clean everything. I then tried another vacuum job and it covered everything so I'm wondering if the bug is related to returning to clean the pads and then picking up where it left off. I could try increasing the time between mop pad cleanings but I shouldn't have to do that. I think at this point the X2 is a mixed bag. The hardware is excellent but there are a few things that Ecovacs needs to resolve but hopefully that will happen. The lack of accessibility with the app is definitely disappointing as well since I had no problems using the previous Ecovacs models with speech.

This was the reason I was waiting for this review. Seems like it needs a few updates before it works. I do feel it's strange why the navigation is so bad. What quality controls do they have?

I had to go back to x1 omni from the x2 omni. Every couple days it would get keep notifing me that brush is tangled with hair, it kept getting hair tangled at the ends of the brush. Very annoying. With x1 model only notifies me once or twice a month.

Will you be reviewing the roomba j9+ combo?

Hello my friend thanks for your channel , which one do you thinks is better to buy : Ecovacs x2 or Roborock QRevo ?

Still happy with our Q Revo at a fraction of the price.

Would you recommend this or the eufy X10 pro Omni? I received the X2 as a replacement for my X1, but I had been planning on buying the eufy, wondering if I should sell the X2 or just forget about buying the eufy? Mainly bothered by mopping performance

How does it heat the water? I am confused with that feature.

Has Ecovacs given you any idea of timeline on their updates? I’m getting quite frustrated because I have several issues that i have sent via help/feedback within the app. They are quick to respond but only to one request and it’s always them trying to tell me I did something wrong. (Delete the app and reinstall, check your firmware, your sliding glass doors are glass so it’s confusing the robot, your x2 is defective.). I consider myself someone who is pretty good with technology. I told them I would work with them to get past these issues. My biggedt issue is when the X2 goes over a threshold. It recognizes that the floor is uneven, turns 60 degrees to the left and goes full force forward right into my door frame. I asked them to reprogram this. Their response was to use a steeper ramp? Wait, it won’t get over the flatter ramp. So frustrating!

We've had the X2 for about a week. I am very happy with the cleaning, and with 3 family members with long hair, cleaning the beater bar is super easy (especially compared to the power head on our central vacuum). The mapping and navigation is definitely lacking. We've repeated the quick mapping 4 or 5 times (at least). We are getting interior walls where none exist, and surface detection (tile vs wood vs carpet) is weird. Subdivision of rooms is very hit or miss. The app currently seems to only allow division one direction. I haven't been able to move the divider perpendicular to where it starts, only change the length of the marker. Im not sure if this is user error, or something in the software.

I was incredibly fortunate to pick this up for $550 over the holidays, even with the bugs, this is a steal for the price, hope they fix the issues

was just offered one but the combo variant.. was the issues fixed?

I see they had an update come out did it fix the nav issues? Any new video coming out from you on this?

Can't wait for your update review once or if @ecovacs will actually fixt it. And hopefully by then the price for the X2 would substantially go down. Thank you sir.

Hi Jamie, your review is so accurate and realistic. I handle the same problems!!! thank you for showing the ECOVACS X2 OMNI real behavior. I am very disappointed about buying it and in addition to the 😮‍💨malfunction of the ecovace support team. Hope ecovace will work on those problems as soon as possible. Can you tell me the best setting for vacuum and mopping? X1 or X2 ? deep cleaning?

Is the issue of my pet's long hair getting tangled on the main brush resolved in the newer version?

Been waiting for your awesome review sir. Ya, I'll save my hard earned money for this failure of a device from @ecovacs. As always great content sir.

Great video as always! I dont know if I should laugh or cry about Ecovacs 😂😢 Still having the same issues and for that price tag it should definitely NOT have them.

I have the Q Revo but it misses picking up dirt before moping and contacted support. Example It goes right over bread crumbs and leaves some behind....I clearly stated that i had the highest vacuum setting and all the rest of the predictable troubleshooting and if course they respond by asking to do the same troubleshooting again... So it's on hold to be sent back and got the X2 to see if it works better... But navigation like issues you mentionis another headache...so now i have two robots ready to be sent back. The X2 vacuums incredibly well when it goes over dirt. The Q Revo mops really well and better than the X2, - so far, if only it would manage to vacuum the dirt...If like it is discussed the X2 is supposed to get updates is it worth keeping as it may be a fine working machine once the issues are addressed...or keep the QRevo with the uneven vacuum capacity? ✌🏻

Have they improved the navigation issue?

My English not well for understanding so do you recommend me buying ecovacs ?

Can you compare with the new eufy Omni x2

I bet they were working on this and couldn't get it finished for the deadline, but was forced to release it regardless. I've seen a lot of companies do this and it's not right

Has anyone noticed that when the mopping does its edges that it misses about 2.5 to 3”? It vacuums pretty closely but mopping is lagging.

Pls review dreame l10s

I really like your review! You are several reviewers that I subscribe to and classified as good objective testing channels. There’s one Taiwanese channel that’s objective but I think they hide the downside a lot thus biased in favor to ECOVACS. I’ve also done similar testing myself and have similar result as you do! I’m noticing the new FW 1.62.0 added some navigation issues where the system would spin around more than before. Have you noticed any improvements with 1.62.0?

Any software updates on this robot vac yet sir that should've fixed the issues?

Great video! I’ve been waiting for this video to come out. I also agree with you that with some software updates this could be a great machine! I have two of these for two different houses. I bought them because I was so happy with my T9 and purchased them when they were first available for pre-sale. I would agree that most issues are with mapping and navigation. I’m definitely disappointed and hope they can fix the issues with upcoming software updates. If not addressed rather soon my decision to keep them after 30 days was a mistake. Here are some random good and bad thoughts from after two months of use. 1. Mapping - Took multiple times to get a usable map. Literally had to take stuff out from under my bed, move my Peloton bike, move some storage boxes off the floor and just cross my fingers that it completed. Oh yeah, it doesn’t like furniture placed on an angle or angled walls. I can’t even look at the 3D map and find the 2D map is just easier to look at. A few times during mapping the X2 would box itself out of the room and that was incredibly frustrating. It definitely does different navigation passages every time you map and it has completely missed rooms. Helpful tip: If you are having mapping trouble, try moving the base to a different room or wall. 2. Navigation after mapping (and firmware update)- This has seemed to get a bit better over time? I had times where my X2 literally would go back and forth between two rooms like it was confused. It does still get confused when you create a new custom area but once it figures it out and does that custom clean a few times it did seem to get better. 3. Mopping - If I do the deep scrubbing and 2nd pass it does seem to mop pretty well. I tested several spots with a wet paper towel after mopping was complete and was happy with the results...the paper towel was clean!! I do find the best results are when I move chairs off the floor. 4. Edge mopping - Has anyone noticed the mopping pads don’t get close enough to the edge. I think this is a HUGE fail. It may be possible fixed with software update where the bot kicks its right side out as it is going across edges? 5. Battery -On max plus it can’t complete one full vacuum on my first floor which is mostly hardwood with a few small area rugs. It will return to charge and finish at a later time which is nice. The bot calculates the area at around 450 sq feet. My T9 on max had no issue. I think this has to do with the map that I have since there are rooms I can’t divide so the initial edge vacuum is going around a huge area. 6. Room dividing nightmare. This goes along with navigation. There are rooms I can’t divide as you noted. One house is a smaller house and it recognizes the whole house as one room which I don’t understand. I’ve gotten around some of this using the custom areas. 7. Custom names for custom cleaning scenarios are really bad. They need more flexibility. 8, Does a pretty good job vacuuming overall using max and 2X. There are two of us and a dog and I am always amazed at how much dust and hair the X2 picks up. It does not do amazing with certain things such as glitter as I’m noticing as we decorate. I’ve had my one bot since the beginning of October and I was happy to see that the dust bag was pretty full when I cleaned it yesterday. I had some tangles around the edges of the roller bar that were easy to clear…none around the brush itself. I wish they still included the filter brush but I did clean that yesterday and it cleaned rather easily. 9. We have some ruggable rugs and they are close to the floor and the X2 always seems to get tangled in them or move the rug off of the Velcro. 10.It has enough giddy-up to cross over a 3/4” threshold. Not all of the time but maybe 85% of the time. I did use someone on Etsy to print me some ramps for other areas. (C3DPRINTSOFFICIAL if anyone is interested. If not allowed I’ll edit this out. ) 11. During mapping and often during cleaning it bumps pretty hard into furniture, especially chairs for some reason. 12. I do love that it has the ability to create and save three maps although lugging everything up or downstairs is not an easy task. I’ve decided to track each issue that I’m having with an individual help ticket to under feedback section of the app to ecovac. When I’ve tried to send multiple issues through an email they are not all addressed. They are very responsive and pretty nice but just not moving quick enough to fix these issues. One time they tried to tell me that both of my bots should be replaced under warranty.

I would have gone with the D shape and left the laser on top.

Wow they have it square

8:48 Deal Breaker!!!

12:59 You can get a software fix through updates but bad hardware is something you just stuck with. I had Ecovacs T9 for 2 years and that stupid thing got exactly zero updates. Today I sold it and I could not be happier I got rid of that damn thing. Ecovacs never more.

So this weird version of lidar is worse than VSLAM?

I have Roborock S7 Max V, i still get those white scuff marks when it is too close to objects.

There is so much complexity and nice features yet the core functions are neglected. Also hadn't had a great experience with ecovacs software. They could be a leading company in robot vacuums if they focused more on the user experience and actually tested their products. It seems like they just used the same navigation software that is already in my ecovacs T9, at least based on the behaviour of the robot. They're focusing on too much at once.

What in the world did Ecovacs release this product like this? I am pretty sure the unit got purchased by customers that because they were passed their return window!! This product is a big disappointment from Ecovacs!!! I was really excited to get one because the Ecovacs built quality is very very durable,,,but their software, programming are a big letdown!

5 months later, still sucks at navigating randomly, spins around randomly, and ping pongs off walls.

X2 is trash on thic carpets i got it and now am.stuck with it its past the return date the shark matrix is way better ecovac software is bad the x2 never seems to find its station evem tho its 5 inchs infront of it and on my carpets in the garage it doesnt even move it keeeps saying the antidrop sensors are dirty please clean them evem tho their clean contacted ecovac numereous times they couldnt resolve any of my isssues but the matrix one didnt hwve any kf these and is also a third of the price

X2 lasted 2 weeks. Drop sensors are poor quality and prone to failure.

Guys. Don’t listen to these reviews. I watched them all a few weeks back before buying the X2 omni. And it turns out, this robot have no idea where it is. It goes around in circles, and it keeps trying to go through walls, and repeatedly bump into door frames, because it can’t see the door.. It also very often just stop the cleaning because it thinks it’s finished, even though half the house is still missing.. NOT ONCE, did this robot clean my house without problems, I often had to pick it up and move it somewhere else because it was trying to go through something it couldn’t or because it was doing the same thing in a corner over and over.. For THAT amount of money I honestly felt scammed… I returned it after a week, and bought a roborock with the same features at literally half the price, and the roborock cleaned the whole house in the first try, without a single problem, and has done that now for 2 weeks. This Ecovacs x2 omni is a disaster, don’t buy it. Although, this review is the most honest I have seen yet. So thumbs up for that 👍
