The age of domestic robotics is officially upon us, and the new ECOVACS DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone is making a compelling case for handing over the keys to your cleaning routine. More than just a simple vacuum and mop combo, the X11 is a hyper-engineered, all-in-one system designed for the modern, busy home. It promises to deliver a truly hands-off, perpetually clean environment — but does this flagship machine live up to the high-tech hype?
We put the X11 through its paces to find out if it deserves a permanent spot in your home sanctuary.
Is the OmniCyclone Station a game-changer?
The true star of the show isn’t the robot itself, but its colossal docking station. ECOVACS has dubbed this the OmniCyclone Station, and its innovation lies in one simple, glorious fact: it’s bagless.
Tired of stocking up on proprietary dust bags? The OmniCyclone uses a cyclonic separation system to suck the debris out of the robot’s tiny internal bin and compact it into a large, reusable 1.6-litre container in the station. Not only does this save on consumable costs — ECOVACS estimates savings of up to 25 dust bags over five years — but it also delivers a consistently powerful suction every time the robot empties. It’s an aesthetic choice, though; the large, slightly tinted dust bin is prominent on the station, so if you’re keeping it in a visible living area, be prepared to see your collection of dirt.
Beyond the self-emptying revolution, the station handles the entire mop maintenance routine. It uses 75°C hot water to soak and scrub the roller mop before drying it with 63°C hot air, ensuring that your cleaning tool is hygienic, odour-free, and ready for the next run.
Power and Intelligent Mopping
When the X11 is unleashed, it brings serious muscle. The BLAST technology generates a whopping 19,500 Pa of suction pressure, which translates to superior deep cleaning on carpets — a traditional weak spot for robot vacuums. Furthermore, ECOVACS claims its ZeroTangle 3.0 dual-brush system is highly effective at managing pet and human hair, making it a dream for pet owners.
But where the X11 truly shines is its mopping. The OZMO Roller 2.0 doesn’t just drag a wet cloth; it actively scrubs at 200 rotations per minute, applying substantial pressure. This, combined with the TruEdge 3.0 feature, ensures no corner is neglected. The mop roller physically extends outwards to hug skirting boards and reach deep into corners, a critical upgrade for any round robot. When it detects carpet, the mop automatically lifts to avoid dampening your rugs.
For large homes, the X11 introduces PowerBoost Charging. When the robot returns to the station for a routine mop wash, it quickly receives a short, fast battery top-up — up to 6% in just three minutes. This intelligent pit stop ensures the robot maintains a “perpetual run,” meaning it can cover enormous areas (up to 1,000 square metres) without lengthy, job-interrupting charging breaks.
Navigation is handled by the AIVI 3D 3.0 system, using a Vision-Language Model to intelligently recognise obstacles like cables, shoes, and furniture legs. Crucially, the TruePass Adaptive 4 Wheel Drive system allows the X11 to mechanically climb over high thresholds and sliding door tracks up to 4 cm high, virtually eliminating those frustrating “stuck” messages.
Our Take on the X11
The ECOVACS DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone is undeniably a major leap forward, consolidating high-end cleaning performance with minimal user intervention. It’s a powerhouse of innovation, but it comes with a flagship price tag and a few quirks typical of bleeding-edge AI.
If you live in a large, multi-surface home, have high thresholds, or are simply tired of buying dust bags, the X11 OmniCyclone is a lifestyle upgrade that justifies its investment. It delivers a level of self-sustaining cleaning that redefines the “set-it-and-forget-it” experience.
The DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone is priced at $1,699 and available in Singapore on the ECOVACS official webstore, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok.
