Ecovacs Deebot X8 PRO OMNI – TruEdge roller mop takes the lead (cleaning first look)
Ecovacs Deebot X8 PRO OMNI uses an extendable OZMO self-washing roller mop to clean to the edge and avoids obstacles while cleaning closer to them than before.
This is a first look as our panellists test this next-gen robot vac/mop in various homes and environments. The new OZMO Roller Mop (which looks like a paint roller), based on Tineco technology with 16 water nozzles, is among the best mopping solutions we have seen.
How different? Well, imagine spilling a cup of tomato sauce on the floor. A robot with a static platten would drag that tomato sauce everywhere – FAIL. A robot with rotating mops would spin the sauce out of the way – PASS. The self-cleaning roller simply mops it up with no streaks or residue on the roller – EXCEED. The only other robot with a roller is the Eufy S1 Pro – the robot vacuum/mop that rewrites the book. See our comparison videos later.
Of course, if you never spill a cup of tomato sauce, dual-rotating mop pads are an excellent solution.😁

First Look – very promising
It is halfway through the four weeks of testing, but our panellists confirm:
- The roller mop is far more effective on liquids than other types
- It gives an overall better mopping experience on hard floors
- Hard floor vacuuming is excellent
- Carpet vacuuming is slightly above average
- Obstacle avoidance is very good – perhaps it does not clean as close as some
- Battery life is good – 200m2 plus
- Anti-tangle brush is effective on pet and long hair
Overall, the panellists are pretty enthusiastic and it should be among the top robots of 2025.
