Mopping is the reason to buy the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni. Its Ozmo Roller mops with fresh water continuously rather than dragging a wet pad around, a material improvement on the method everyone else uses. PCMag and TechRadar both give it 4.5/5; Tom's Guide 4/5. The tradeoff is a taller robot that has more trouble clearing low furniture. Choose it over the Roborock or Dreame if your floors are mostly hard surface and mopping is the killer feature for you.
- — Ozmo Roller mop is genuinely innovative — a continuously-rotating roller that self-cleans with fresh water constantly instead of dragging a wet pad
- — 18,000 Pa suction with AIVI 3D 2.0 obstacle avoidance
- — Yiko AI voice assistant works on-device — no internet required for basic commands
- — Roller mop height means it can't go under furniture with <11cm clearance — Qrevo Curv and Dreame X50 are slimmer
- — Dock is physically larger than Roborock's — notable in tight laundry-room installs
- — Ecovacs app has been slower to push firmware updates than Roborock over the past year
