The Deebot X2 Combo is an innovative robot vacuum, handheld vacuum, and base station by a veteran in the industry, Ecovacs. This combination of devices should make all your home vacuuming and mopping needs a breeze. The auto-emptying of both vacuums, the self-cleaning mops, powerful suction on the robot vacuum, and AI technology for navigation are all appealing features. First announced at CES 2024, the real question now is about how they perform when put to the test. And spoiler alert: for the most part, everything is great, putting the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo on the same level as the best robot vacuums.
There’s no denying the large size of the base station, but it manages to squeeze in two vacuums, water reservoirs, a dust bag, and even some storage for the handheld vacuum’s components while still looking sleek. Its performance is equally great, as its suction power has no problem emptying the dust box of both vacuums almost every time, and the two oscillating mops on the robot vacuum still look clean after three weeks of use. I had one snafu with an incorrectly installed water reservoir, leading to a puddle on my floor. So, some type of warning would’ve been nice. Otherwise, it’s hard to deny the base station’s greatness.
