Priced at €1599, the Ecovacs X9 Pro Omni brings a host of promises: “revolutionary” suction, highly advanced AI, and a self-cleaning roller. After a month of testing, my verdict is clear.

The X9 Pro Omni is Ecovacs’ flagship model for 2025, marketed as a smart vacuum cleaner that revolutionizes suction with its “Blast” technology, optimizing airflow rather than just boosting power. This promises formidable efficiency across all debris types.
On paper, its standout feature is the Osmoroller washing roller. Unlike flat mops that just drag along, this roller rotates at 220 RPM with a pressure of 3700 Pascal and rinses itself automatically to prevent spreading dirt around.
The robot, measuring 35 cm in diameter and under 10 cm in height, is slim enough to slide under most furniture. Its station handles everything: it empties the robot, washes its roller with hot water (up to 75°C), dries it with hot air, and operates 150 days without maintenance thanks to its large 3-liter bag.
Design: Elegant but Not Perfect
At first glance, the robot impresses with its matte textured black finish that makes you forget it’s made of plastic. Its sleekness is remarkable; at just 9.9cm tall, it navigates where others get stuck. Its command button in the center changes color based on the robot’s status—orange: all good, red: a problem. Simple and effective.
The cover lifts easily for access to the dustbin, convenient for occasional manual emptying. Notably, Ecovacs has integrated all sensors into the front of the robot, achieving a very low profile without sacrificing navigation accuracy. The AI AIVI 3D 3.0, along with a suite of sensors, takes care of the rest.
The central brush features a spiral design to prevent hair tangles. However, I encountered a disappointment with the side brush, which broke after just two weeks—a rare issue in my experience and especially frustrating for a high-end model.
The main roller combines bristles and rubber fins in a V configuration, enhancing collection while reducing tangles. Unlike the side brush, it proved robust during my tests, though some hair entanglement occurred.
The TruEdge 2.0 system is particularly interesting. The washing roller can extend a few millimeters outward to clean right up against baseboards. Not revolutionary, but effective for capturing those last few millimeters that are often missed.
Installation: Simple but Could Be Better
Setting up the X9 Pro Omni is generally straightforward. The station requires space: 50 cm on each side and 80 cm in front. This could be challenging in a small apartment, but it’s the price for advanced automation.
A unique aspect is assembling the access ramp to the station. It’s not complicated, but it requires some force to snap into place properly. Once it’s set up, it’s solid.
The robot comes partially charged, but it’s best to fully charge it before starting. The Ecovacs Home app is easy to download, and account setup is quick, despite requiring some personal information.
Pairing via QR code works flawlessly. Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz only) is smooth, and the setup assistant is very user-friendly, even for the less tech-savvy. Mapping takes about 15 minutes for 80 sqm, which is reasonable, though the generated map could be more detailed.
Performance: Where It Really Shines
This is where the X9 Pro Omni flexes its muscles. Its “Blast” suction system isn’t just marketing hype—it really works. I scattered a mix of flour, pepper, and cereal in my living room, and the robot sucked it all up without scattering a crumb. Impressive.
On carpets, it’s exceptional. I tested with 20 grams of sand on a medium-pile carpet: 90% collected on the first pass. Even after embedding the sand deeper into the fibers (a realistic simulation), it maintained high efficiency. I’ve never seen anything like it in this category.
The Osmoroller washing roller is another standout feature. A 24-hour-old dried coffee stain? The robot automatically detects it through its AI, makes several targeted passes, returns to rinse at the base between attempts, and continues until the stain is gone. It’s methodical and highly effective.
This famous 3700 Pascal pressure is truly palpable. Where a regular mop would slide over sticky stains, the roller mechanically lifts everything off. I tested it with sauce: spotless after two passes. So, we have a robot that genuinely cleans floors well.
ZeroTangle 3.0 technology lives up to its promises. After a week with my two long-haired cats, there were no tangles on the main brush. The small integrated teeth continuously scrape off the hairs, which is clever and effective.
In terms of navigation, the AIVI 3D 3.0 is impressive. I deliberately set traps—shoes, toys, cables, fake poops—and the robot nearly avoids everything with surgical precision. Only very thin objects, like some cables, sometimes trip it up.
The TruEdge 2.0 system significantly improves edge cleaning. The roller extends outward, allowing cleaning within less than a centimeter of baseboards. Not revolutionary, but effective.
Automatic carpet detection works perfectly. As soon as it climbs onto a carpet, the robot lifts its roller and boosts suction. None of my carpets got wet during the sessions.
YIKO, the voice assistant, is a positive surprise. “OK YIKO, clean the kitchen,” and off it goes. Voice recognition is accurate, even in a noisy environment. No more fumbling with apps for simple commands.
The “smart accommodation” mode automatically adjusts settings according to zones. Under my dining table, it intensifies washing. On the living room’s hardwood floors, it reduces water usage. This contextual intelligence adds real value.
The 115-minute runtime is confirmed in practice. And if needed, it returns to charge and resumes exactly where it stopped.
The only major downside: the noise. In Max+ mode, it reaches 69 dBA, which is clearly too loud for use while present. I quickly opted for quieter modes for my sessions.
Stain detection by AI is stunning in action. Spilled soy sauce in the kitchen? The robot detects the area, automatically intensifies washing, makes several passes until satisfied. This intelligence makes a real difference daily.
The Application: Comprehensive and Well-Designed
The Ecovacs Home app has improved significantly. The interface is clear, with advanced features that aren’t too complex. Switching between 2D and 3D views is smooth and practical for understanding the environment.
The remote surveillance camera is a good surprise. The image is clear enough even in the dark, thanks to automatic lighting—perfect for monitoring pets when away. The two-way audio works, although my cats couldn’t care less.
Manual control via a virtual joystick responds well. It’s handy for targeting a specific area without scheduling a full cleaning. Live camera view during control is immersive and useful.
Customization goes into extreme detail: 50 water flow levels, 4 suction powers, 3 navigation speeds. You can truly tailor everything to your needs and floor type.
Automated routines simplify life. Seamless integration with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Matter for home automation enthusiasts. The connected ecosystem comes into its own with this kind of device.
Maintenance: Automated but Not Flawless
Maintenance is a strong point of the X9 Pro Omni. Its station does almost everything: automatic dustbin emptying, roller washing with hot water (temperature varies based on dirtiness), and hot air drying. The 150 days of autonomy seem realistic.
However, why isn’t this section perfect? Because of the reliability issues I encountered. The side brush breaking after two weeks, the lever of the main brush detaching without reason—on a robot priced at €1599, it’s frustrating.
Should You Splurge? Price vs. Competition
Yes, €1599 is a steep price. But at the time of writing, it’s available for under €1000. It’s always wise to wait a bit before splurging, as prices quickly drop in the robot vacuum market.
Compared to Ecovacs’ X8 Pro Omni (€840), the extra euros mainly bring the Blast suction and YIKO. Honestly, unless you’re a fanatic for suction power or a fan of voice commands, the X8 offers better value for money.
At this price, the X9 Pro Omni competes with the big names like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra (€1499) and outshines the Dreame X50 Ultra (€1199). You might also consider the T80 Omni, with some concessions.
