No need to pick-up before hand
Bottom Line: The Ecovacs X2 Combo is a near-perfect solution for those who want to put the least amount of effort into floor cleaning. Pros: excellent navigation/obstacle avoidance; versatile accessories; automatic everything (emptying, mop head cleaning); all-in-one storage and charging Cons: mediocre edge cleaning (robot); automatic emptying requires filter bags; small capacity of stick vac; messy emptying of stick vac if doing it by hand Review: As some background, we live in a 2,000 square foot, one-story ranch with vinyl floors with area rugs in various spaces. Our bedrooms and bathroom are in a constant state of disorder, and so I’m using the robot to clean the high traffic areas - kitchen, dining room, living room, and hallway. Out of the box, everything was easy to assemble, and my wife appreciates that the base stores and charges the robot, stick vac, and accessories. Navigation: The Deebot uses LiDAR for its mapping, and I was surprised how quickly and accurately the unit was able to map out the cleaning space, which ends up being slightly over 650 square feet. The robot navigates using a combination of LiDAR, an optical camera, and bumper on the front of the unit. Ecovacs advertises that the unit can recognize an obstacle 2 inches tall or above, and I was highly impressed by the robot’s ability to avoid shoes, dog toys, and other objects that are in its path. I was also pleasantly surprised how well the robot navigated tight spaces, like under the dining room chairs and table. In my experience so far, the Deebot only got stuck once - between a dining room chair and the wall - where it couldn’t turn around to navigate out the way it came in. Cleaning: The Deebot does a good job with everyday cleaning, using its roller system to collect dirt and larger particles from hard floors and vacuum mode when it transitions to carpet. That said, the robot only has a spinning corner brush on one side, and with one pass along the edge in some rooms, did just an ok job against the wall. Additionally, the navigation system is really good at avoiding obstacles, and so it typically wouldn’t go right against the edge of the object to clean. The stick has pretty powerful suction, and does a good job on hard floors but I found the brush head just does an OK job grinding dirt out of rugs and carpets. Mopping works well, although I recommend you buy the Ecovacs mopping solution to add to the water tank for better cleaning. Features: the X2 combo is feature rich, with automatic emptying for both the Deebot and stick. This does require the purchase of filter bags as they get filled up, although you probably will only need to change the dirt collection bag every month or so. I did find that, due to the spring design for automatic emptying of the stick, it tends to “pop” open if manually emptying which blew the dust all over. The Deebot narrates when settings are changed or it encounters issues, which is a big help with troubleshooting. The app lets you customize settings and watch your robot clean by viewing its camera on your phone. Overall, it’s a great system for those who don’t want to spend a ton of time picking up for the robot or much time emptying and cleaning the robot.

A perfect combination of vacuum and mop
Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo all in one offers everything in a household vacuum cleaner and mop. It truly makes life easy and does its Job effectively. Unpacking and build quality: The X2 combo comes nicely pack in a big and sturdy box, internal components are protected with soft cloth like wrappings with styrofoam. It comes with extension attachments for the handheld vacuum. Base station has a dedicated compartment to store these small attachment safely while handheld unit rest and charge on the station itself. I like the ability to charge the handheld unit on the base station. it is a game changer and save a lot of space and unnecessary hassle to make holes in the walls to hang. The base station has dedicated containers for clean and dirty water, those are removable. Set up and first run: The instruction manual is detailed and clear. download the ecovacs home app, create an account, scan the QR code on the robot, and then app will guide you to connect to WiFi. After that making is easy. remove all small things from the floor and let the robot vacuum access all the area where you want regular cleaning. map in the app can be edited and adjusted with virtual boundaries. With the press of a button or voice command the Deebot is ready to clean - Vacuum, mop and vacuum + Mop Performance and function: The Deebot can recognize the floor type and lift the mop on the carpet and can adjust the vacuum power based on the floor type. The water flow can be adjusted, vacuum power can be adjusted in the app. The deebot have numerous sensors on the robot vacuum that recognize the objects and avoid them while cleaning. I am impressed with effective cleaning with silent function. both the vacuums are noticeably silent while in operation. The robot vacuum has a camera and the live video feed can be seen in the app. This kind of useful also useful when one is away from the home and wants to check the home - like a second webcam. After the vacuum session base station auto-empty the vacuumed stuff in a vacuum bag. no hassle of emptying the vacuum urself. the handheld vacuum is light and mighty. Both the vacuums are equipped with HEPA filters. The succession power of the handheld vacuum is really good. the different attachments are good for vacuuming carpet, floor, curtains, and also for car. Ecovas claimed 60 min runtime on normal mode and 15 min on max power. I felt this is okay to keep the weight within limits to operate it with one hand. Mop: Compared to other robot mops one thing I like about the Deebot is that it has rotating mops, that mimics hand motion, the mop is cleaned every 10/15 min during the moping session. The water flow can be adjusted. these functions make sure that the floor is effectively cleaned not just WIPED with wet mop pad. after the moping the base station cleans the pad and dry them on the station. Great. Overall, i like the effectiveness of the cleaning and easy to operate the vacuum. this combo has everything that make the cleaning very easy. The unit does its job at the best.

An all-in-one unit for tackling dirt in your home
Bottom Line This all-in-one self-emptying and self-cleaning robot vacuuming/mopping robot and stick vacuum combo represents a great option for those who are looking to consolidate their cleaning gear in a meaningful way that can address most household messes. This combo stations presents as a solid option for those looking to replace and augment their old stick vac for one that has an automatic emptying station while adding a robot vacuum and mopping capabilities for that continuous automated cleaning routine. Ecovacs took a direct approach with this latest variation by literally combining two very popular items in the home cleaning and automation space. The X2 Omni Combo takes their new flagship robot with its self-emptying and cleaning capability and adds a stick vacuum that makes use of the auto-empty functionality already built into the dock. What they achieve is an all-in-one station that basically handles most floor and furniture messes that might come up. The Robot The X2 Omni is an obvious departure from their previous X1 with a new design and mapping approach. Gone is the circular design and spinning lidar in exchange for a lidar sensor that sits along one edge of the device. The result by doing this is a slim robot that can fit and navigate under more furniture allowing it cover even more square footage in your home. There is the usual array of cameras and sensors for cliff detection and carpet detection, as well as navigating around items left on the floor. The X2 has a pretty wide rubber roller which goes almost the entire width of the robot and a lot of suction power to help pick up floor debris. It has one spinning brush which helps pull in dirt from the edges into the roller path. Overall, it’s done a great job vacuuming though I do run into issues with my dog's hair (two Great Pyrenees) getting tangled in the brush which does require my intervention. The spinning mops do a great job too as the aforementioned dogs track in a lot of mud which requires extra scrubbing and the X2 Omni is up to the challenge – usually I employ the “deep scrubbing” path which instructs the robot to follow an S shaped path. The mopping does a good job getting up even dried on dirt and stains, though I do wish it was able to get closer to my walls. The Vacuum The stick vacuum is a new product for Ecovacs, but overall I’m very happy with the design and performance of this unit. The vacuum is relatively compact and has a small waste bin, and for typical dirt and floor clean up this isn’t a problem, but when vacuuming up dog hair it can fill up very quickly. There are only two buttons on the unit, one for changing the mode between low and high and another toggle for power. The toggle is great, because you don’t have to continuously push the trigger which can be annoying on other models. There is a battery display which faces the user and is active only when the vacuum is on. The filter is under the chrome colored cap which is magnetically coupled to the unit which is quite satisfying and practical. Overall, the suction from the unit was good at picking up even larger debris and paired with the motorized stick brush with its built-in light I was able to see debris on the floor more clearly which made cleaning a breeze. Ecovacs includes a smaller roller brush attachment for upholstery as well as a multi-surface brush and crevice tool for those hard to reach spaces. The Dock This is where the whole picture comes together. The dock has water bins for both clean and dirty water as well as a user replaceable bag where the debris from the robot and stick vacuum is evacuated into. I recommend putting the dock either in a central location or close to your kitchen or bathroom since this is most likely where you will be filling up and emptying the water bins. For the robot, the dock also features mop pad cleaning with warm water and hot air drying to prevent an issues mold or bacteria growth. After inspecting the mop pads after cleaning they looked pretty clean and if the dirty water tank is any indication – the robot is doing a good job picking up dirt. Overall, I have no issues with the auto emptying for the X2 Omni, even with ample dog hair in the bin – however I have had some occasional issues with hair not being automatically removed or stuck inside which required either triggering a second auto-emptying function or manual removal of the hair. The App As one would expect from a flagship robot vacuum system, the app is fully featured including express mapping features, both 2D and 3D map viewing modes, and all sorts of virtual barriers and no-go area options. After running the robot for the first time it produced a map of my house which I was able to modify with the relevant room names. You can schedule cleanings in the app and specify the degree that you want each room cleaned or have the robot learn and do that automatically over time. For example, if you had a dog room that was always especially dirty, the robot adapts to clean that room more thoroughly. You’re also able to changes settings regarding how often the robot returns to the dock for emptying the dust bin and cleaning the mopping pads – important in a household like mine that needs them cleaned more often. The only additions I could think of that would make the app better is more options for passes along the perimeter of rooms and rugs, as sometimes those areas are missed by the mop – due to it lifting up to avoid getting the carpet wet. Finally, though not directly related to the app - Yiko their built-in voice assistant works great for starting cleaning cycles and directing specific actions such as cleaning a particular room or, in cases where it has detected your furniture, contextual commands like cleaning under the dining room table. It works great and typically picked up my commands without me having to repeat them often saving you time from having to pull out your phone for using the app.

Three-in-One capability is a Major Strength
I recently welcomed the Deebot X2 Combo Robot Vacuum/Mop Stick Vacuum into my home, and I must say, it's the most multi-capability robo-vac I have ever owned. However, with great capability comes great overall size and complexity. You have to invest time to read and understand the owner’s manual to get the maximum use of what it offers. FEATURES: · Triple Functionality: Combines a hand-held stick-vacuum, a robot vacuum and a robot mop into one device. . Self-Emptying: The vacuumed debris and dirty water storage bins on the mobile robo-vac section both auto-empty into wet and dry chambers of the charging station upon finishing a session, or sooner if the AI decides it’s necessary. The Handheld Stick-Vac also empties when returned to the charging station after use. · Smart Cleaning: High frequency downward aimed SONAR and 300 KHZ Ultrasound allows the AI to react to various floor surfaces (hard flooring vs. short or thick carpets/rugs). This allows it to turn floor washing spray nozzles, scrubbing discs and vacuum brushes on & off at various speeds when appropriate for best efficient cleaning. This unique sensing also allows the AI to raise or lower the wheels to get the suction head and the mopping discs to the optimum speed and distance from the surface being cleaned. · Performance: The Vacuum function picks up dirt, dust, food particles, and pet hair. The Mop feature doesn’t just drag a damp towelette over hard floors. It has two stiff bristled counter-rotating discs that are pressed firmly down and wiggle back and forth over problem stains several times depending on how you set the App. · App Control: It has an Android or Apple mobile app available for easy scheduling and monitoring. Notifications for full dustbin or when it's time to empty the dirty mop water in the large charging station tank. · Remote Video Monitoring: The high-definition camera on the front of the X2 Robot helps the Robot navigate and create maps An interesting added feature is that the camera can be accessed from anywhere using the internet. The Robot can then be sent on a patrol mission to keep tabs on your home or pets while you’re miles away. · Connectivity: Seamless integration into smart home systems (Alexa, Google home, etc.). · Battery Life: Impressive battery life considering how much power it takes to vacuum and mop simultaneously. Automatic recharge and resume feature for continuous cleaning. · Efficient Cleaning: Thorough cleaning on various floor types, including hardwood and carpets. Set “Virtual Boundaries” in App to dictate where your robot should or shouldn’t vacuum and/or mop. · Time-Saving: Reduces manual cleaning efforts, saving time and effort. Set custom schedules for automated cleaning sessions. · Automatic Recharge and Resume: Returns to the charging dock when the battery is low and resumes cleaning once recharged. PROS: · Triple Functionality: Combines robot vacuuming and mopping, as well as a hand-vac in a single device. · App Control: Compatible with voice assistants for hands-free control and allows easy scheduling and monitoring of cleaning sessions. · Connectivity: Easy guided Wi-Fi set-up · Time-Saving: Reduces manual cleaning efforts, saving time and effort for users. · Customizable schedules for automated cleaning sessions add convenience. · Effectiveness: The X2 has a very high suction and brush speed capability which will clean a lot of dirt out of carpets and floors. I tested this by vacuuming an area with other common brand-name robo-vac. I immediately followed with the X2. Checking the bin afterward showed the X2 picked up a lot of dirt the other robo-vac left behind. If this much cleaning power is not needed, the App will allow you to turn it down to lower noise and increase battery life. · Versatility: Suitable for various floor types, including hardwood, throw-rugs and carpets. It switches its height, speed, and suction power on the go automatically depending on conditions and your settings in the App. · The head unit on the Hand-held Stick-Vac, has a series of very bright white LED lights low down on the front. I thought this was just a gimmick, until I saw how this low angle bright light illuminates small pieces of dirt and debris on the floor that you might be trying to pick up quickly because of a spill. The LEDs make those objects stand out separately from the general background so you don’t miss them. CONS: - For a top-end robo-vac system, I am disappointed in the navigation and particularly the Map making ability of the Deebot X2 Combo Robot. Compared to many other robo-vacs I’ve owned, the X2’s map display is missing important (to me) information. For some reason, the map’s algorithm only recognizes and displays walls that are physically connected to the outside house wall. In my home (as in many), there are major free-standing load-bearing walls that create the floor plan by separating spaces into rooms with open doorways in between. No matter how many times I tried to create a map the X2 missed these important central walls. They were never sensed or shown as walls. They were effectively invisible. That meant that the Foyer, the Hallway, the Livingroom, the Dining room and the Kitchen were all shown as one giant ~1000 sq. ft. room and vacuumed as one giant room with different flooring types. This resulted in odd cleaning patterns. Also, the X2 got stuck or “confused” in more dense areas of the house. Partly because of its square shape (which I think is necessary to get the two rotating mop pads close to the wall and the vacuum brush into corners) the X2 will get stuck under things like chair legs. It will try to rotate to find a path out, but a corner of the robot will get stuck on a leg. My X2 sometimes takes weird unnecessarily long paths back to the charging/mop-cleaning base as though it is mapping a new path instead of remembering its original path. I am confident that Deebot will solve the navigation issues with software updates. The X2 certainly has more than enough computing hardware to handle this. - The X2 main station uses a HEPA type bag filter to store the large amount of debris it removes from the robo-vac and the hand-vac after each cleaning session. Other self-cleaning robo-vacs use hard plastic bins that are emptied into a trash can or outside for disposal. The X2 bag filter is not meant to be emptied which means proprietary replacement bags must be purchased and installed frequently. CONCLUSION: The Deebot X2 Combo Robot Vacuum/Mop Stick Vacuum is a game-changer in home cleaning. Unlike hardware issues, navigation issues can be solved with software updates. The X2 is so mechanically advanced that it will probably soon do things we haven’t even thought of yet. If you're looking for a time-saving and efficient cleaning companion, this robot vacuum and mop triple combo is certainly worth considering.

This is the one!
Have to admit I was a bit unprepared when this showed up at the door. This is one big package, both in size and weight. I've had half a dozen robots over the years, including mop/vac combos, but the Deebot is in another galaxy. Unpacking & assembly were straightforward, clear, concise directions (which is becoming rare these days), and an abundance of properly located stickers defining use. While initially intimidated by the package, going through the setup was intuitive, following guidance from the manual. Connection to wifi was trouble free, assisted along by the onboard voice assistant - which by the way is very pleasant in an Alexa sort of way, not stunting or robotic. After charging, tried out the handheld unit. It's very light to the touch, having surprising power for it's size/weight. Tools are stored onboard, for both upholstery, crevice, and brush. Did not notice any fade in power over a half hour of usage. Next, on to the robot itself. Gave it instructions via the app to map the area, which it proceeded to do in under 15 minutes. I have 3 main areas, kitchen with tile, dining room wood, living room rug. The kitchen has entry from both the dining & living rooms; had a bit of an issue trying to divide the areas in the app. Did some research online, I saw mentioned that there might be an issue trying to segregate a room with two entrances; the solution offered was to create a barrier wall on one entrance; then subsequently delete it. Was not a big problem for me, since it had already defined two area, one which required vacuum, the other mop. If the robot had to navigate a few extra steps to get back to base, so be it. Next step was to command it to vacuum the rug. This is my biggest issue, with two long-haired dogs. I appreciated that the app offered a slider for power, I naturally put it up to max to see what it would pick up. I was not disappointed. After completing about 75%, it drove back to base, emptied, and returned to finish the job. Left very nice stripes along it's path, highlighting its hard work. One thing I'd comment on is despite being the most powerful vac I've owned, it's by far the quietest - and in more than one way. The motor noise whirs more than shrieks, but it does one better. The unit is located on the upper floor of a bilevel; all my previous robots when traversing a transom from room to room I would get a clunk-thud, annoying apparent on the lower level (where I'm watching my TV!) I'm guessing this is due to the larger drive wheels and suspension of the unit. It's not only quiet where it works, but below it too - much appreciated. A second thought on the motion of the unit - subjectively, it appears to have a pretty good intelligence going about its task. Not a lot of wasted motion, encountering an unexpected object it tends to figure out the path of least resistance. Even around my dogs - see photos. I have a robot that has a hard time getting out of its own corner; and never seems to be able to teach itself anything. Kudos to the programming folks at Ecovacs. Final thought on vacuum - very nice cloth bags provided - hopefully I'll be able to refill at a reasonable price. On to the mopping, which I've only had a first go at. It's nice to provide a function to vac first, then mop, especially since I'm dealing with left behind dog crumbs & whatever dirt is shaken off from outside. The circular motion of the brushes seems to do a great job at spreading the water & cleaning up behind itself. Was pretty amazed at the content of the container while emptying the dirty water. Lastly, there's the camera function. This is a nice feature you can view through the app, either while it's cleaning, or as a security device. Very handy if you need to check on something when you're not at home. Like when we had the earthquake last week! While the Deebot carries a significant list price, one needs to figure it's a top of the line vac/mop; along with the handheld. If you're buying them separately, it's still going to end up at a big number - good handhelds aren't cheap. The other thing is it's a significant amount of floor space - I know I had a shelf unit sitting where the Deebot now resides, so some relocation was required. But if you can deal with that, the X2 far exceeded my expectations.

The Most Complete Robot Vacuum I've Ever Used!
I've been using this combo vac for about 2 weeks now and without a doubt, it is the most complete robot vacuum that I've ever used, and I've gone through multiple models from multiple brands. This Ecovacs X2 Combo is without a doubt, the best unit I've used, although there are some caveats. This unit immediately makes an impression, and by that I mean it is on the large side. The unit was well packaged. Unboxing and assembling the unit was easy though. Remove the packaging, assemble the cordless stick vac, put away the accessories, power on and connect it to wi-fi. Downloading the app and getting it connected to my network was simple. There was a firmware update, but it only took a few minutes to update. The first decision you will need to make about this unit is where to place it in your home. The base itself is large, and the cordless vac accessory adds to the size and footprint for placing the unit in your home. My previous combo robot, which is also a vac/mop unit, would fit nicely under my buffet table, out of the way. The Deebot X2 Combo base is too high to fit under the buffet table, so I had to put it in another corner. A minor inconvenience, but if you are considering this unit, think about where you might want to place it. When it came time to using the X2 for the first time, it needed to do a mapping run of my home. I use the X2 on my main floor, which is predominately hardwood floors, with some area rugs. Mapping each room in the house was simple and the X2 was extremely efficient. I was surprised how effective it was capturing the layout and impressed with the speed that it mapped the main floor. The Deebot X2 Combo has the capability to store multiple maps and be used on different floors, but I'm not going to be moving this often. Once the initial run was done, I could view the map in my app, and setup virtual walls, room dividers, etc. The X2 app did a respectable job here, though I struggled to divide the floorplan into all of the individual rooms I wanted. I have a relatively open floor plan, so there are fewer "doorways" and more wide spaces that divide the rooms. The app allowed me to segregate my office, laundry room, and bathroom into individual rooms, but my living room/dining room were combined as were my kitchen area and foyer. I would have liked to split these, but when I tried to introduce boundaries, it kept giving me an error message. A relatively minor inconvenience, and maybe something that another mapping run or an app update can address. As far as cleaning goes, the X2 Combo did not disappoint. The vacuum had excellent suction and the square nature of the robot actually may have helped it do a better job cleaning corners of my house. Compared to my other robots, the X2 seemed to do a better job. When it came to mopping, this unit is easily the best mopping robot I have had. The large circular pads (2), do a great job mopping the floors clean. And I was impressed by the speed that the X2 Combo completed jobs in each room. When the X2 Combo would go over my area rugs, it sensed them and raised the mopping pads slightly so as to not mop the rugs. A couple of other notes from my testing... the first time after mapping the house, the vacuum got stuck on two different cords in two different rooms. I had to untangle the unit. For the price, I would have expected the X2 to detect normal power cords (from a floor lamp in one case) and avoid it. I will note that it did not happen again on subsequent runs. When the unit finishes a job, it returns home and washes and dries the mopping pads to avoid mildew. It truly can be a hands-off experience for weeks at a time until either a) the dust bag is full or b) the water container for the mop requires refilling. I haven't event talked about the cordless vac so far. And for me, this is more of a nice to have than a necessity. It is really a nice feature, and the cordless vac and attachments work well. I took it outside and used it to vacuum the seats and floor of my car. It worked well for that, and for cleaning under the cushions of the sofa. The tradeoff to me is it just makes the unit bigger than it already is, so consider whether you will use it and it is worth it to you. I also used the cordless vac as a stick vac to clean my steps and while not the most powerful vacuum, it did the job and is convenient. Overall, I would say that this unit is again the most comprehensive robot vacuum that I've ever had the chance to use. What it does, it does well. It is truly a do everything unit.

Robust and hassle-free cleaning, rough map editing
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 stands out for its cleaning effectiveness and self-prepping capabilities. This new combo edition adds a manual-use companion "stick vacuum" that charges from and empties to the same base station. The result is a complete package of convenient vacuuming equipment, all housed in a central station in your home. That is the vision Ecovacs seems to have for this product, at least, and for the most part they've delivered. My initial impressions were mostly around the setup process and the base station itself. The product was packaged well, and the included quick start instructions were generally clear in describing assembly and placement requirements. (The manual does have an occasional "foreign" feel to it - for instance, the clearance requirements from nearby walls for placing the base station were quoted in both metric and U.S. customary units, but the latter was somewhat awkwardly specified in decimal quantity of feet. For instance, 0.16' instead of either 1.92" or 1 7/8".) The base station is somewhat large, though not unreasonably so given the features it has. It requires notably less clearance from walls on either side than other robot vacuums that I've used required for theirs. The size of the station does mean some care is required when thinking about placement. To some degree, this negates the benefits of the device consolidation. It might seem like this product is a great fit for a small living space, but if you don't have a single large storage spot open (that is accessible for the robot to leave and come back to on a schedule), it might actually be better to have a separate stick vacuum charging stand with a smaller robot base station. The actual functionality of the base station is quite nice. It auto-empties the dustbins from both vacuums. Even better, it auto-cleans the mop pads on the robot. Although you'll want to remove and launder the pads yourself periodically, it's nice that it'll keep refreshing them during a cleaning session. There's even a heated drying function built in. (We placed our station on a hardwood floor. I'm hoping the drying function doesn't have a bad interaction with the wood below it - so far, so good though.) Neither the labeled instructions on the base station nor the quick start guide included mention of what cleaning solution, if any, should be added to the water reservoir in the base station. Ecovacs has a branded cleaning solution that claims compatibility with the Deebot X2 Omni, so the lack of mention of it is a little surprising. (No sample was included either.) In the end, I used a cleaning solution I already had that lists compatibility with other robot vacuums. I had to guess a little bit as to the proper ratio. The included stick vacuum is straightforward and no-frills. It has a single high-/low-speed mode toggle. It performed acceptably, although it didn't sound or feel as powerful as the stand-alone vacuum we already have (from another brand). The quick start guide had no information about using it, so I guess it's good that it's pretty simple. The battery is non-replaceable, as far as I can see - time will tell how long of a lifetime it will have. On first use, the Deebot X2 wants to map your home (which is typical for most advanced robot vacuums). It does this relatively quickly. However, this is also probably the functionality I found most disappointing. In our house, it failed to create any room boundaries automatically. (I would describe it as a semi-open floor plan, with two large doorways, one typical doorway, and no dividing wall in one location.) I'd be fine with that, if the manual map editing worked decently. Unfortunately, the map editing was frustrating. Most attempts to divide rooms failed, often with no reason (just "try again" phrasing). On occasion, it notified me that dividing lines can't intersect; at least that was a reason, but it makes me think it'd be completely impossible to partition the way we ideally would want it to. I was able to create a few divisions successfully but could never get them to line up with actual walls of the house - so we really ended up with 3 (rather than the 4 that we really have) arbitrary "rooms" that didn't correspond to areas a human would naturally think of. I deleted the map and retried the process several times, and got pretty much the same map with the same limitations on editing each time. Ultimately, the inaccurate room divisions didn't cause any issues with the robot actually navigating our entire floor area successfully. The route planning seems a little inefficient, possibly because it sees one gigantic room. For instance, it cleans the perimeter of a "real" room before leaving to clean the central area of another that it thinks is part of the same "logical" room and then returning sometime later. This makes it a little awkward to avoid the robot when it's working, since it's not clear what rooms it's done with. However, the end result is still a decently cleaned floor - at least on par with other robot vacuums. The powered mopping pads seem like they must surely do a better job than other robot vacuums that only drag a mop pad over areas that they wet with cleaning solution. It was quite novel to see the robot return to its base a few times during the "whole house" job to clean its mopping pads automatically. The X2 Combo isn't quite perfect, but it has some key features that make it a solid product. The vacuum performance is on par with competing robot vacuums that I've used. The killer feature is really the performance of the mopping feature, including the automatic preparation of it (cleaning, drying, and refilling with fresh cleaning solution). The Combo edition's included stick vacuum is decent - worth springing for if you need one or would like an auto-emptying feature, but perhaps not compelling if you have a vacuum you already really like. The only significant disappointment I had was with the map editing (the room division in particular). I'm hoping Ecovacs might improve it with future app updates, and that our floor plan is just a worst-case situation for it. Overall, I think it's a good product that most people will be happy with.
