New Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo models vacuum and mop with multi-floor mapping

By Bruce Brown Published February 15, 2021

Ecovacs Robotics recently launched two new robotic home floor care models. The Deebot Ozmo 920 and Deebot Ozmo 950 add new navigation and multi-floor mapping capabilities to facilitate robotic vacuuming and mopping, for total floor cleaning.

Designed for larger homes, both new models employ Ecovacs’ Multi-Floor Mapping tech. The Deebots scan and store maps of each level in a house. Once the robo vacs have identified and stored a map for a floor, a room, or other areas, the system refines the map each time it cleans the location.

The Ozmo Mopping Technology, which we also saw the Deebot Ozmo 930, stores just more than 8 ounces of water in an onboard tank. An electronically controlled water pump dispenses water as needed for various floor cleaning tasks such as dried liquids and dirt. When the Ozmo 920 and 950 detect carpeting, they stop mopping and automatically increase the suction power.

The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920 cleans for up to 130 minutes per charge before returning to its combination charger and docking station. In addition to multi-floor mapping and automatic carpet detection, the 920 protects itself and your furniture with obstacles and drop detection. You can also establish virtual boundaries to direct the Deebot to avoid specified areas and objects such as dog water dishes. The Deebot Ozmo 920 is available exclusively on Amazon for $800 prior to a nationwide launch in fall 2019.

The Deeboty Ozmo 950 has two feature upgrades from the Ozmo 920. The 950’s larger battery runs for up to 200 minutes, which Ecovacs says is sufficient to clean a 2,150-square foot area including both mopping and vacuuming. The 950 model also has a Max+ Suction Power Mode that is even stronger than the Max mode the 920 uses on carpeting. The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 is also available only on Amazon until Fall 2019, when it will launch nationwide. The Deebot Ozmo is priced at $900.

How to clean the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo

Ecovacs X2 Combo under a bed.

While the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo handles most of its own maintenance, there are still a few tasks you'll have to perform manually. Thankfully, these tasks only take up a few minutes of your time, and they don't need to be carried out frequently. From checking that the robot's sensors aren't blocked to cleaning roller brushes and the dirty water tank, here's a look at how to clean the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo.
Wipe down the robot vacuum sensors

The robot vacuum that comes with your X2 Combo works best when its external sensors are clean. After scurrying around a dirty house, there's a good chance dust has accumulated on the clear cover that houses all its sensors. Check this after each cleaning cycle and wipe it down with a dry cloth. If it's really dirty, a slightly damp rag can be used before drying it with a towel.
Give a thorough rinse to the dirty water tank
Emptying the dirty water tank is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum. But if you're staying on top of things, it should never get too funky. Consider emptying the dirty water tank before it's full and giving its interior walls a good scrubbing to remove buildup. If you don’t do this, your dirty water tank will get remarkably smelly and slowly accumulate more gunk.

The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo is the latest product to join the Deebot lineup. It's fairly unique compared to other robot vacuums in the family, as it bundles a cordless vacuum with the docking station and robot vacuum -- making it an all-in-one bundle for keeping your floors clean.

But aside from the inclusion of a cordless vacuum, what exactly is different between the new X2 Combo and the old X2 Omni? More importantly, should X2 Omni owners feel the need to upgrade? Here's a closer look at the X2 Combo and X2 Omni to help you decide which is best for your smart home.

Ecovacs upgrades the X2 Omni robot vacuum with a cordless vacuum attachment

The Ecovacs X2 Combo installed in a home.

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.
