The short version

The X11 Pro Omni is the X11 OmniCyclone's twin with a more conventional dock. The robot is the same: strong suction, a roller mop that's rinsed as it cleans and slides out towards skirting boards, and a quick top-up charge while the mop is being washed. The difference is the dock, which empties the robot into a sealed dust bag rather than a bagless bin you tip out yourself.

The trade-off is that you buy bags, and in return you handle less dust. It's a big, heavy unit, and it's nearly 10cm tall, so it won't reach under low sofas.

Only two tests exist so far, and one of them isn't finished, so there's less evidence behind this robot than most at its price.

Our take: Buy it if you want Ecovacs's roller mop and a dock that deals with dust in sealed bags, and your home has mostly short hair and flat thresholds. If you have a long-haired dog or cat, one long-term tester found hair wrapping the brushes. If you'd rather not buy bags, the X11 OmniCyclone is the same robot with a bagless dock and more tests behind it.

What reviewers found

Two tests so far. Just A Dad Approved lived with it for three months in a home with hardwood, tile, carpet and a concrete workshop. SmartHomeAssistent has run most of its measured course, but not all of it. Both liked the vacuuming and the mop. They disagree on hair and on obstacles: SmartHomeAssistent's hair tests came out clean, while Just A Dad Approved found long pet hair wrapping the brushes.

Just A Dad Approved, hands-on, 3 months at home · SmartHomeAssistent, hands-on

An excellent mop

SmartHomeAssistent gave the mopping top marks on dried stains and spilt coffee, and good edge results, helped by a roller that slides out towards the wall. Just A Dad Approved scored the mop 7 out of 10. It liked the scrubbing but found there's no cover over the roller, so the vacuum brush picked up water left on the floor and some transition areas needed a scrub by hand. For a kitchen or hallway that needs a daily wipe, both tests suggest it will do the job.

Strong vacuuming, one hair warning

SmartHomeAssistent measured strong pickup on hard floors and carpet, and its hair tests came out clean on both. Just A Dad Approved rated carpet cleaning 8 out of 10 and said daily debris, pet fur and dust came up cleanly, but found long pet hair wrapped round the main brush, and the side brush tangled near rounded furniture legs. The difference probably comes down to hair length and three months of real use versus a short, controlled test.

It won't clean concrete

Just A Dad Approved found the robot simply refused to work on the concrete floor of a workshop. If part of your home is polished or bare concrete, such as a basement or garage-side room, this isn't the robot for it. Nobody else has tested it on concrete yet, so it's worth checking with the retailer's returns policy before relying on it there.

Obstacles: the testers disagree

Just A Dad Approved rated obstacle avoidance 8.5 out of 10, one of the better systems it had tried, and liked the dirt detection and quick top-up charging. SmartHomeAssistent was less impressed, awarding 32 of 53 points on its obstacle course, and found the robot slow to finish its test room. Just A Dad Approved also found the robot bulky and heavy. Pick up cables and small toys before a run until more tests settle it.

Before you buy

The questions people ask about this one

Is it good for long-haired pets?

Maybe not. Just A Dad Approved found long pet hair wrapped round the main brush and the side brush over three months, despite the anti-tangle claims. SmartHomeAssistent saw its hair test cleared fully, but that's a shorter, controlled test. If you have a long-haired dog or cat, look for a robot with a better long-term record.

How does it handle rugs and door bars?

Ecovacs claims 2.4cm for a single threshold and 4cm for two steps, per the specifications. SmartHomeAssistent got it over 2.4cm in its climbing test, and Just A Dad Approved said it handles small thresholds well. Nobody has confirmed the two-step figure, so if your door bars are taller than about 2.5cm, check before buying.

How often do I have to empty or refill anything?

The dock empties the robot into a 2.5L sealed bag and washes the roller in 75°C water, per the specifications. You still refill clean water and empty the dirty tank. Just A Dad Approved also found it needed an occasional scrub where the uncovered roller left water on the floor.

Does it fit under low furniture?

Only if the gap is roughly 10cm or more. It's 9.8cm tall, per the specifications, and Just A Dad Approved found it bulky and heavy. Measure under your sofa and bed before buying.

X11 Pro Omni or X11 OmniCyclone?

Same robot, different dock, per the specifications. The Pro Omni seals dust into bags you replace; the OmniCyclone is bagless, so you tip out a bin instead. Just A Dad Approved points to the OmniCyclone if you'd rather not keep buying bags. Choose based on whether you'd rather pay for bags or handle dust.
