DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI
4 independent reviewsRead the findings →ECOVACS's roller-mop robot, rinsing its mop with clean water as it cleans. The mopping is the reason to buy, especially on dried-on kitchen stains. Its vacuuming is less consistent, though, with pet hair and edges needing extra passes.

What reviewers found
Four tests cover this exact model: RTINGS in the lab, Vacuum Wars with its standard tests plus a 14-month owner update, TechGearLab with side-by-side scoring, and BGR at home. All four rate the mopping highly. They split on vacuuming: Vacuum Wars measured strong carpet and hair pickup, while RTINGS and TechGearLab found hair and grit left at edges and corners. Obstacle avoidance is good but not safe around pet mess, and first maps can need fixing.

Hard floors
Mixed resultsOpen floor is fine, edges less so. RTINGS found dirt left along skirting boards, and TechGearLab saw debris left in corners, with cheaper robots beating it on edge cleaning. BGR also found it sometimes struggled with edges.
Carpet and rugs
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars recorded a top-tier carpet deep-clean result. RTINGS found lots of hair left after one pass but virtually none after two, plus dirt left along carpet edges. Use a deep-clean or two-pass setting on carpet.
Pet hair
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars measured strong pickup of flattened pet hair. RTINGS needed a second pass to clear it, and TechGearLab found it struggled to capture fur, especially in corners.
Mopping
Reviewers rate it highlyAll four rate it highly. Vacuum Wars measured strong dried-stain removal with little water left, TechGearLab saw all light and medium stains and most dark ones removed, and BGR thought it perhaps the best robot mop around.
Navigation and obstacles
Mixed resultsTechGearLab watched it steer carefully round cords and furniture, but it caught a fake pet mess in its brush, and RTINGS saw it run into pet waste and tangle in rug tassels. BGR spent about 20 minutes fixing a first map with missing walls.
Dock and upkeep
Reviewers rate it highlyRTINGS found the dock handled day-to-day emptying and mop care, and Vacuum Wars' long-term owner mainly did routine upkeep over 14 months. TechGearLab found the dock large, and the robot's own bin is small.
App and software
Reviewers rate it highlyTechGearLab's testers enjoyed the level of control the app gives, and BGR found it decently designed and easy to use, apart from some trouble with mapping.
Noise
Quieter robot cleaning; loud dock emptyingRTINGS found the robot fairly quiet while cleaning, and TechGearLab found the dock’s emptying cycle much louder, which is a different stage rather than a disagreement. Keep the dock out of earshot of anyone sleeping.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceOnly Vacuum Wars reported long-term use: its owner update said it kept working for 14 months in a busy home with a shedding dog, with the roller swapped twice as a precaution.
Value
Not enough evidenceOnly TechGearLab judged value, calling it a worthwhile investment if it fits your budget, while noting the Roborock Saros 10R did better in every test for a little more.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
The mop is the reason to buy
Vacuum Wars scored 158 out of 184 in its dried-stain test and measured little water left behind. TechGearLab saw it remove all light and medium stains and most of the darkest ones, and RTINGS called its stain removal impressive. BGR thought it was perhaps the best robot mop around, better at stuck-on messes than spinning pads. If grubby kitchen floors are your daily annoyance, this is where the X9 earns its place.
Hair and edges need extra passes
Here the tests disagree. Vacuum Wars recorded 93% of flattened pet hair picked up and a top-tier carpet deep-clean score. RTINGS found lots of hair left after the first pass, though a second pass got virtually all of it, and dirt left along carpet edges and skirting boards. TechGearLab said it struggled to capture fur in corners and was beaten on edges by cheaper robots. Plan on a deep-clean or two-pass setting for carpet, and keep a handheld for the margins.
Dodges clutter, not pet mess
TechGearLab watched it slow down and steer round cords, furniture and delicate items, and Vacuum Wars scored it 19 out of 24 on obstacles. RTINGS found it reliable round furniture on hard floors but clumsier on carpet, and rug tassels tangled it. Both RTINGS and TechGearLab saw trouble with pet waste: one ran into it, the other caught a flat fake mess in its brush. Don't schedule runs while you're out if your pet has accidents.
Fix the first map yourself
BGR's first map stretched some rooms and missed walls, and correcting it took about 20 minutes in the app. After that it navigated the house well. RTINGS also warns that dark carpets confuse it, and that very thick carpet can be mistaken for a drop and skipped. Budget some setup time, and check that your darkest rugs actually get cleaned in the first week.
A good dock, a small bin
RTINGS found the dock took care of day-to-day emptying and mop care, but TechGearLab said the dock is large and its emptying buzz would wake a sleeping baby. Vacuum Wars flagged the small onboard bin and disappointing battery efficiency at higher power. Its long-term owner, a busy home with a shedding dog, said it kept working for 14 months, with the roller swapped twice as a precaution.

Our take
Should you buy the DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI?
Best for: Homes where washing hard floors is the main job. Skip it if: Pet hair embedded in carpet is your main cleaning problem.
Consider the X9 for mainly hard floors and regular removal of dried kitchen stains. Carpet-hair pickup is less consistent. The T80 Omni is another roller-mop option to compare at current prices. If shedding pets are the priority, compare each alternative’s carpet-hair tests as well as its dock features.
The X9 Pro Omni follows the X8 Pro Omni in ECOVACS's X range. It keeps the same wet roller, rinsed with clean water and scraped as it cleans, then washed in hot water and dried at the dock. The changes are a new airflow design, brushes meant to stop hair wrapping and a softer-looking dock. It's 9.8cm tall with the laser in the bumper.
All four testers rate the mopping highly. TechGearLab saw all light and medium stains and most dark ones removed, and BGR thought it perhaps the best robot mop around. Vacuuming is less even. Vacuum Wars recorded a top-tier carpet result and strong pet-hair pickup, but RTINGS found lots of hair left after one pass and virtually none after two, and TechGearLab said it struggled to capture fur in corners, with cheaper robots beating it on edges. RTINGS ran it into pet waste and TechGearLab caught a fake pet mess in the brush. BGR spent about 20 minutes fixing a first map with missing walls. Vacuum Wars' long-term owner said it kept working for over a year in a home with a shedding dog. TechGearLab notes the Roborock Saros 10R did better in every test for a little more.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Will it avoid cables and pet mess?
Cables and furniture mostly, pet mess no. TechGearLab saw it steer carefully round cords, but both RTINGS and TechGearLab had trouble with pet waste. RTINGS also had it tangled in rug tassels. Tidy loose textiles and don't run it unattended with an accident-prone pet.
Does it fit under low furniture?
It's 9.8cm tall with the laser sensor in the bumper rather than on top, per the specifications. RTINGS measured 10cm as the lowest gap it cleared. That gets it under many sofas, but not the lowest ones, so measure first.
Can it leave the mop behind for carpet?
No. The roller stays on and lifts by a claimed 10mm, so thick pile can still touch it, and RTINGS reports limits on very long-pile carpet. Set it to stay off unsuitable rugs. Vacuum-only mode on its own won't stop a roller that's still damp from an earlier mop brushing them.
How big is the dock, and is it loud?
The dock is 33.8cm wide, 45.9cm deep with its ramp and 50cm tall, per the specifications. TechGearLab found its emptying cycle loud enough to wake a baby, while RTINGS found the robot quiet enough not to upset nervous pets. Put the dock away from bedrooms.
What still needs emptying or refilling?
The dock has a 3-litre dust bag, a 4-litre clean-water tank and a 2.2-litre dirty-water tank, per the specifications. On the tank version you fill and empty the water yourself, and clean the tray and roller now and then. How often depends on your home. One long-term owner interviewed by Vacuum Wars swapped the roller every six months as a precaution, but that was their habit, not a rule.
Alternatives
Other robot vacuums to compare.
DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI
Why consider it: The same roller-mop idea, with testers praising its mopping and hard-floor cleaning.
The compromise: Carpet hair and dried-stain results depend heavily on the mode and the test.
Flow
Why consider it: Its track-style mop impressed testers, and its hardware resists hair wrap.
The compromise: Vacuuming results conflict sharply, and routes and the app draw steady complaints.
Saros 10R
Why consider it: Cleans hard floors thoroughly, edges included, and slips under low furniture.
The compromise: A lab test found plenty of embedded pet hair left in carpet.

Head to head
ECOVACS DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI vs DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI
Our verdict: Close relatives: both mop well and both leave hair and grit at edges. Vacuum Wars scored the X9 far higher on dried stains than the X8, so for stubborn kitchen marks the X9 is the safer pick. Otherwise, buy whichever is cheaper.
