Ecovacs has officially launched the Deebot X11 OmniCyclone, its most advanced and visually ambitious robot vacuum and mop, revealed at IFA 2025 in Berlin. More than a refresh, the X11 is a bold rethinking of what a home cleaning robot can be, with a unique bagless station, a wealth of new technology, and a focus on both style and sustainability.

Who needs legs? Eufy, Anker's smart home brand, believes it has solved the problem of how a single robot vacuum can clean multiple floors in your home. Its new MarsWalker robot is equipped with four arms to carry a vacuum between levels, so you don't have to lug it up the stairs yourself or buy a robot for each floor. However, you've now got two robots, so perhaps it's not really solving that problem.

In my tests, the Narwal Freo Pro did pretty well at keeping my floors clean. It has fantastic suction on hard floors, does a decent job mopping, and can clean without much intervention. However, it didn't always avoid cords on the floor, the suction performance wasn't as great on carpet, and its dust containment didn't last me near seven weeks.

The Yeedi S14 Plus features some of the strongest suction on the market, an intelligent navigation process, and a self-cleaning mop roller, housed in a hands-free charging dock.

The X40 Ultra is our favorite robot vacuum / mop hybrid. With 12,000Pa of suction power, it's a good vacuum with dual oscillating mop pads that extend and swing out to reach edges.

The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni, currently discounted to $365, offers features typically found in high-end models yet is priced in the midrange category, around $700.

The Narwal Freo Z Ultra performs impressively with its AI technology, offering powerful suction, self-cleaning features, and smart obstacle navigation, making it a highly recommended choice.
