清扫器Deebot X12 OmniCyclone: Top Mopping, Struggling Vacuuming

Great at mopping but not so much vacuuming

TL;DR

The Deebot X12 excels in mopping with clean water and advanced navigation. However, its vacuum performance is lackluster on certain surfaces. Currently discounted to $900.

Ecovacs' Deebot X12 OmniCyclone robot vacuum boasts impressive obstacle avoidance and self-cleaning features but falls short in some vacuuming tasks. The X12 excels at mopping, ranking among the top five combo robots for its cleaning prowess on hard floors. However, it struggles with fine debris like sand and ranks poorly on low-pile carpets. Despite these drawbacks, the $900 price tag makes it a compelling option for those prioritizing floor cleanliness over vacuuming performance.
