The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni was one of our favorite robot vacuums of 2023, and it’s becoming even more enticing later this year. The all-new Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo, which debuted during CES 2024, takes everything that made the X2 Omni special and bundles it with a cordless vacuum attachment, making it the first whole-home vacuum system designed by Ecovacs.

There isn’t much new about the X2 Omni robot vacuum, though it’s perfectly fine in its current form. Offering 8,000 Pa of suction, a square design to better clean edges, and the ability to lift its mops while traveling on carpet, the X2 Omni received a glowing review from Digital Trends that found it to be one of the best robot vacuums. It also boasts a docking station that automates most of your daily chores — including emptying its dustbin and washing its mop with hot water before drying it with warm air.

What is new, however, is the addition of a cordless vacuum attachment. This allows you to tackle spots that might be missed by the X2 Omni, such as hard-to-reach crevices or your furniture’s upholstery. The stick vacuum attachment maxes out at the same 8,000 Pa of suction as the robot vacuum, includes a variety of nozzles to support a variety of cleaning tasks, and will automatically empty its dustbin when placed in the docking station.

Toss in support for Matter, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most versatile robot vacuums of 2024.

Ecovacs is best known for its robot vacuums, but the company also debuted a variety of other robotic devices at CES. This includes the company’s first Winbot W2 Omni robotic window cleaner, the Goat GX 600 Robot Lawn Mower, and the Airbot Z2 air purifier.

Pricing and a release date are yet to be announced. We expect to learn more in the coming weeks.

How to clean the Dreame X40 Ultra
The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuuming the floor.

The Dreame X40 Ultra is a highly automated robot vacuum that is capable of tackling your dirtiest floors while you kick back and keep your hands clean. However, even the best robot vacuums require regular maintenance, and the Dreame X40 Ultra is no exception. For it to continue working at its best, you'll need to clean both the robot and its docking station. There's nothing too terrible about the task -- though it can be time-consuming and needs to be handled regularly (most parts should be cleaned monthly).

Unsure where to start? Here's a comprehensive look at how to clean the Dreame X40 Ultra robot vacuum, including how to clean its brushes, mops, and sensors, as well as how to keep its docking station in top form.

Do you need a regular vacuum if you have a robot vacuum?
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra connected to plumbing.

Robot vacuums are a great addition to any home. The best products on the market are capable of vacuuming and mopping without any manual input, giving you an easy way to automate your floor-cleaning needs. Some will even empty their dustbins and wash their mops -- making them shockingly autonomous. But should you still own a regular vacuum if you have a robot vacuum? After all, robot vacuums aren't cheap, and owning both types of products might seem superfluous and expensive.

Unfortunately, robot vacuums are not yet at the point where they can clean your entire home, making it important for all families to hold on to a regular vacuum. Here's a closer look at robot vacuums and why they're not a complete replacement for your upright or cordless vacuum.

This new robot vacuum competes with rivals nearly twice its price
The Yeedi C12 Pro Plus in its dock.

Ecovacs is a popular name in the world of robot vacuums, but its lineup is often remarkably expensive. The X2 Combo, for example, costs $1,600. However, the company has a sub-brand named Yeedi that offers more affordable products, and its new Yeedi C12 Pro Plus looks like a great alternative for frugal shoppers.

The Yeedi C12 Pro Plus is currently available for just $350 ahead of its June 1 launch, though its regular $600 price tag is leagues better than the $1,600 X2 Combo or $1,900 Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. But despite the lower price tag, Yeedi packed the C12 Pro Plus with impressive features. The robot produces up to 8,000Pa of suction, uses dual comb teeth and an updated roller brush to limit tangles, and runs for up to 300 minutes before needing to recharge at its docking station. Once vacuuming is done, it'll automatically empty its dustbin.
