Do U know the height with the top cover open?
Hi, what is your honest opinion between Ecovacs X1 as compare to Roborock S7 MaxV ULTRA?
@@chuayongchew6792 i talked about that at 10:40 , that's my honest opinion
I just received mine... and in case you need it, the total height of the dock is about 80cm but users will need about 90cm for 'airspace' to comfortably remove the tanks...
This is going to be a popular one! First mop bot with an onboard water tank, no more dragging dirty pads around or only going until the pad is dry
Awesome review - covers everything and even introduces innovative thinking on how to improve future models. Very well prepared!!!
Great review Alex. Super comprehensive! This is gonna be the best robot imo. Lovely feature and the hot air is the best.
ya hot air is really nice, kill away germs in some ways as well
Next is for them to include UV sterilization module as well 🤭
What a wonderfully comprehensive review. Thankyou so much!
Thx thx!
Great review man! Very elaborate and clear. Keep it up!
Purchased mine, thank you for such in-depth review!
wow nice, hope you like it as much as i do
Super helpful video! I agree with you and hope Ecovacs comes out with a robot mop that will auto fill and drain, similar to a washing machine.
Thank you for the review. Made the purchase on 4 Apr 2022 and it was delivered today. Clean floor FTW
wooohoooo!
I purchased an Electrolux Trilobite (2nd Gen) when they came out. It lasted well and has only died this year. It cost $3350 when I bought it in 2005. Its battery life was appalling, but it was well made and worked reliably for a long time. If the Omni can last as long as that I'll be delighted.
Man, that really reminds me that these robots have been around for quite some time. Almost 20 years, wow!
Great video and info, Alex. Appreciate it!
thanks for the sub!
Thanks for reviewing this product.
hope this is useful
Nice video as always!
Thank you so much for detail explanation 😊
This is awesome Alex, i was waiting for such product, and thought i really have to wait for quite some time after watching your previous video on vacuum robot. Thanks for the review, as usual, like your very practical opinion on pdts review. Just hope they do some launch promo price discount :-)
promo with at shopping platforms like lazada/shopee is the best, today is lazada bday crazy big discount
Great review Alex 👏 I also own the Ecovacs X1 Omni. I can confirm what Alex said are all very accurate. Thanks!
wow that's fast, nice!
OZMO DEEBOT X1 vs ROBOROCK S7 MAXV ULTRA.
Who win???
Great review! Finally a vacuumbot that does it all! Just order one!
yup!
Hi! Very comprehensive review. Thanks! Can we decide whether to mop or vaccination only when using?
Loving ur content❤️
Thank you for the information - very useful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for the review, like your suggestion for next gen, auto refill and drain! Bought it but yet to try.
ya whichever come out with self drain in singapore first I am sure to get it
@@AlexTeo me too
Thanks Alex. I now know learn to press left button to dispense water to clean the base :)
His review is really tempting me to get it man
hahahah
Great & detailed review!
Would be great if you can review the LG styler as well! (:
i don't know man haa, that product is a bit weird for me
Great review, love that you mention noise impressions too, so many other reviews seem to be instructed it seems by manufacturers to not touch the subject at all. As you know since you're a dog owner too, sound is important for people with pets :)
I'm just a little worried getting replacement bags in the long term here in Europe. Also we tend to have quite some lime in the drinking water. Do they touch this in the manual ? Should you use demineralized water, or can you use like a 50% vinegar mix to keep the station and water channels clean ?
No clue about that, maybe reviews from europe youtuber will be able to give you a better insight to that :)
Hi Alex . Phew ! I watched your robotic cleaners about 1 1/2 years ago and then recently the last three months , I could not find your videos . However today I found your video and now have saved it . Thank you for all your hard efforts making these informative videos .
May I ask if you’re still happy with the ecovacs X1 omni as the reviews in Europe are pretty poor regarding customer support ? Thank you . FP
come to my channel under videos then you will find everything haha, I don't make a lot of videos so should be quite easy to search.
Ya I am satisfied with the X1 and still using it now. The support I got from ecovacs is very good but I am not sure is it because I got special treatment so can't comment on that haa
Great video as always Alex :) indeed auto empty like the washing machine will be great. What colour and brand is the vinyl in the room with the Ecovacs the darker brown one.
thanks thanks, cannot remember already haha
Thanks so much for this helpful review. So excited to see the automation of the new Deebot. I have the 950 and T8, but am constantly changing pads because I partitioned my floor into smaller areas ( like you I have issue with one small pad cleaning whole house). Can be a chore with constant changing. May I check with you regarding the hot air drying? How long does it take to dry the cleaning pad? An electrician told me anything with heat uses a lot of energy😮.
takes about 3 hours, no idea how much electricity is consumed, didnt measure that
Self cleaning mop is sure a must before mopping become practical with robo vacuum.. one of my concern is dragging the dirty mop along its way back to self cleaning station..
technically it's still mopping on the way back so not too bad, just increase the cleaning interval to the shortest if you want it to be as clean as possible
Thanks for another wonderful video, Alex. Any feedback on how this device compares with the Dreame W10 Pro?
i will take L10S over Ecovacs X1... W10 pro is not a good comparison anymore
Good review - detailed. Would like to check how do you initiate the 2-4 hour hot air cleaning of the mopping pads on your X1 Omni?
Its a setting on the app
Great review!! Thanks Alex .
Will the hair entangle the wheel or the brush and if it does, isn’t easy to remove them?
wheel not really, main brush yes. I won't say it's super easy to remove but it's not difficult
good video ; thanks
Great review @Alex Teo, just wondering if the mop heads leave swirl marks on hard tile floors?
hdb default kitchen tiles considered as hard tile floor? if yes then it works fine on it
great review as always =) do you think the x1 would be overkill for a studio/1-bedder?
depends how cluttered is your place, 1 bedder can be quite big also
Bought my roborock vacuum 2 years ago and can't believe there are so many new features already! Looking forward to see how robot vacuums will continue to upgrade in the next few years :)
yeah exactly, the tech in this space is evolving pretty fast!

Thanks for the review, this is really tempting! As an owner of 1 dog and 4 cats.. i do wonder how fast i will go through those dust bags 😅
ya shedding is really a big headache, luckily my dog don't shed much
A great one. Would you please also do the review for Roborock S7 MaxV?
provided someone lend me willing to lend me for review haa
Great product review. Have you tried putting Dettol or any Low sud washing detergent?
dettol is no good, will definitely cloak. I put hizero and tineco detergent before
Liked on general principle due to the ff posters! Lol but a great video too of course!
unexpected surprise to see ff fans on a robot vacuum video haha
@@AlexTeo haha right?! I do have a quick question. I hear that ecovacs have better mopping plates that will put down more water but I'm unsure how to get them. Would I have to reach out directly to them or are they already replaced on new units shipping now? Thanks again!
Looking at those machines how they evolved I think they still have a future of morphing even further...
Hi Alex, I’ve been watching this video for awhile now and am impressed with it. Am considering it for my upcoming home but now I am also looking at Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. What are your takes on both of these robots and which do you recommend more?
I will have a robot vaccum video coming soon next month, stay tuned! S8 ultra is not in my recommendation
I'm sold!
Your video never fail to impress. Easy for locals to understand and make decision based on all of your recommendations 👍👍 Have you heard of Eufy? Apparently they sold a couple of smart gadgets. Would appreciate if you could make some reviews on them 😁
yeah of course i know eufy/anker, I am currently using an anker docking station
@@AlexTeo Great! Looking forward to your future anker/eufy household product review👍
Thank you
Thanks for the review. Bought it after watching your vid. Quick question: have you ever gotten the error "The Cleaning Sink is full." ?
hmm nope, never
Hi Alex, thank you for the review and your other reviews. May I ask if the above will be useful for a maisonette unit?
yup of course, just a little troublesome because you need to bring the robot up and down
Thank you! I always enjoy & learn much from your videos. 加油！
Hi Alex. Thks for the great info. Can X1 integrate with SmartThings?
Nope, most of the things you want to do will always have to go back to the ecovacs app
Thank you for the review. i think it is still rather primitive in term of the mopping function, as you rightfully pointed out that it doesn't mop all the area in the house and doesn't remove the hard stain on the floor... at the end of the day, it wont replace physical mopping... i will wait for more advance before i will buy
Physically mopping won't remove stains too, you will still have to go with a strong solution with a cloth and scrub hard. Robot mopping are best at running it daily to give your feet that nice clean and non sticky feel
This as well! Reason why i purchased another brand at over 50% less than this, it mops but wont be using it and also purchased the Tineco S5pro for deep scrub mopping and vacuum, both cost robot vac and tineco cost me $1000
@@ViceVersaYT I have the Bisell Crosswave. Arguably the best vacuum mop out there. But Im getting lazier and cant keep up with the crumb droppings of my 3 kids. I cant mop daily. At most once a week.
Hi Alex, thanks for your great review. I'm a little interested in Roborock recently, especially their latest model S7 MaxV series, is there any chance you will review it?
Thx thx, Unlikely that i am able to get hold of one
Thanks for the review. Any chance u will be reviewing Roidmi Eva and Roborock s7max ultra?
Let me think about it, i'm more interested to check out the one from xiaomi
Think you should have also covered the app a bit since they did some changes. Otherwise, specs look good, but other reviews show that the circular mopping may not be better than the Roborock G10/S7Maxv's simple pad, nor as clean after self-cleaning. It looks like the X1 has the better obstacle avoidance though, and obviously better looking.
i didn't really see any changes on the app, besides what I covered in the video, everything pretty much the same
I disagree. I had the T8+, with the sonic pads. It did well, but my results so far with this product are much improved. The spinning pads made my floor cleaner then it has been in a long time.
@@sdcoinshooter Can see some X1 vs G10S reviews to compare, as it's different than ozmo pro (which I also have). Example: th-cam.com/video/SZOKDzzJjmg/w-d-xo.html
@@Quest88 I watched, the only word I understood was: “Omni” 😂
Hi Alex, I'm loving your videos! Thanks for all the effort you put into them. I'm contemplating getting the Ecovacs Omni but have read reviews about poor, almost non-existent customer service. Have you had any experience so far? (I'm worried about future repairs).
Have you had issues with the vacuum not docking properly but filling up the water tank anyway? (Read this issue somewhere too)
Also, do you have any thoughts on whether is it a drawback that the water tank isn't detachable from the vaccum?
I'm wondering if I should wait for the next gen of this vacuum but actually need one quite urgently, to replace my spoilt, really cheap one
my experience with the support is good, but maybe because I had special treatment.
how to fill up the water tank if it's not dock properly?
no drawback imo that it isn't detachable. Similar concept to an iron
@@AlexTeo waaah... special treatment is good! 😄😄 I'm also wondering if most of the negative reviews are from other countries (maybe poorer customer service in the US for example. They tend to prefer Roborock but I can't get past its looks 😆). Oh wells. thanks for your response! Good to know you still like this robot.. gives me some confidence in it.
@@sharonn9991 ya haa, but more companies will follow and come out with these kind of all-in-1 station
I have had trouble with ecovacs replying to me I have sent several emails, plus messages through Facebook asking questions. They have not responded once. I am very concerned that if they won't help a potential customer, how will their after sales service be. This has put me off buying one of their products, which really sucks, because I think they are great
in terms of convenience, this is impressive, actually.
Hi Alex, can feature on window and door sound proofing.
How does the mopping compare to a Dreame W10? Great review as you are tempting me to sell my Dreame and get this instead...
I am currently testing the W10 haa.. the mopping is good but other areas not so. If you already have another robot to do vacuum and w10 to do mopping then probably stick with this setup
Hello Alex, thanks for you videos, how if you experience after 9 months?
Also how wet the floor is after mopping?
I bought a new one and, even with max water usage, I only have a very thin trail of wet on the floor (no trail with lower usage); not sure if mine is malfunctioning or if this is expected.
hmm is this your first time using robovac with mopping? their mopping are not those very wet type, but having said that the x1 do feels a little less wet as well so i have it set to max water usage too. I suggest to manual wash the pads once a while as well, if not they will become kinda hard and that will affect the water flow
As an owner of an Ecovacs Ozmo 920 (reasonably satisfied with it, though it has issues), what put me off buying the self emptying tower is that all the robot vac manufacturers have taken a step back in innovation with their towers by using disposable bags. I understand dust clouds and static holding onto dust, but there are ways around that, it seems like having paid a premium for these robo vacs 5 to 10x the cost of a premium upright vacuum cleaner if you buy the newest model, the companies want us to continue paying. On the subject of mopping they just need to make the discs wider so it cleans the edges effectively.
as my nose is very sensitive to dust, I actually prefer having dust bag or some new tech that won't see dust flying around
@@AlexTeo Yeah having the dirt compacted or dropping out the bottom of a tray when emptying would be preferable as you empty it in the bin, the flying dust would be minimal.
Most of us would prefer having bags.
That way no matter where we have it, we wont make a mess
Disposable is much safer. People have died by breathing in the mold spores and bacteria that grow in other models.
Hey Alex! Great content! Quick advice - for auto cleaning mop tank + dust tank, which brands n models would u shortlist? Does suction & battery power matter to u for such bots?
ecovacs x1 omni, roborock maxvultra and xiaomi these 3. Suction minimum around 3k is enough, battery power not a concern for me
How should i decide between ur top 3 here 😅 apart from price...
@@danielquake2224 if you like hot air blow dry then ecovacs, if you like mop lifting to vacuum carpet then roborock. If you just like it cheap with no warranty then xiaomi
Have u heard of roidmi eva? Looks promising n better than dreame? Since it has both self dustbin n self cleaning mop
@@danielquake2224 their products don't look promising to me haa
Hi Alex, may i know does this x1 omni used up alot of electricity? And how many hours it will take to charge up. Thank you so much for the nice video review.
sorry didn't pay attention to the power consumption of it, can't advise
Hi, thanks for this video. Any noticeable increase in electricity bill?
not really, infact my bill has been decreasing, all time low in the past 6 months
was never keen on getting a robot mop but after watching your review, I'm tempted! 😂 in your robot vacuum comparison, you mentioned you would personally choose Samsung jetbot, just wondering if this has now replace that in your own home?
ya i will choose an all-in-one, some people will prefer to go with 2 robots in the house 1 for vacuum 1 for mop some redundancy in case 1 fail
@@AlexTeo can I ask where do you house your eco vac X1 omni base station? love how in your video, you put it in the yard, but I was looking at the instruction manual and read that it requires quite a large allowance (0.5m on each side) at the sides and in front of the station. wondering if you had any issues (e.g robot not able to return to station) if you don't follow the advice for giving the allowance at the sides? thanks for any tips!
@@gnsirk of course product management will set these guidelines to protect themselves, but it still works and no issues of the robot not being able to return to dock. I put it in the service yard as shown in the vid, I only put it in a room for filming purpose
@@AlexTeo that’s great!! thanks for the info (:
I am tossing up between the Omni, the Roborock S7 VMax Ultra and the Bissell Spinwave R5. I am impressed with the Omni, but have found the company does not respond to emails that I have sent asking questions. This puts doubt In my mind regarding their after sales service. I like the spinning mops that the Omni and Bissell have. I don't really mind if it does have a self cleaning dock, as long as it carries water. I just want a reliable vacuum, that I will only use on tiles and one that maps well. I feel the spinning mops will get into the grout better than the pad, but I may be wrong. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer. I do enjoy your honest videos
i will suggest to go with either ecovacs or roborock, bissell is really not known for their robovac. The cleaning performance is actually very similar, nothing very special about spinning mop pads. The roborock allows you to access to the internal water tank directly, you might like that more. In terms of after sales support, I think it defers based on where you stay
Looking at your video, I have a question plz, when you placed the station near the washing machine, do you have enough Space to open the station top lid and take off the water tank (considering the wood top above the machine) ? I have similar Space in my home and Wonder if such station would fit in such a place. Thx
yeah enough space, I am placing it there permanently
@@AlexTeo great thx. Do you know the size of the clean/dirty water tanks ?
Those considering should buy now as it's so much cheaper as mine was purchased at $1,800.
Hi Alex, great video. May I know the price of the dust bag and can we get it from retail shop like courts or havey Norman
pricing wise I am not sure yet, was told that it will be available on shopee/lazada mid april onwards
I have a question: can you add white vinegar in the water tank?
Be aware that if you have more than 1 floor you can’t really use it to mop and vacuum other than the floor with the base unit. The robot needs to return to it during its mopping cycle to clean the mop heads and add more water. If doing that on another floor it will stop and you must bring it back to the main floor where you have the station then bring it back to the floor you were mopping. Only thing it wont resume where it left off.
OMG - really? I have 3 floors...so so disappointed
Thanks Alex… exactly what I was looking for! Do U know where I can buy this?
lazada running the best discount for today,
I just checked. 1360$ after discount.
@@maytan2411 Careful, the link Alex previously gave (and has deleted) is for the TURBO, not OMNI which is reviewed here. I'm still deciding whether to pull the trigger
@@cktalon7519 I wonder if it comes with the SG 3-pin plug?
@@jonathancmpoh2609 Should have since local unit with 2 years local warranty
Great video Alex! I have the ecovac T9 and hair tangling is the greatest issue as my wife has long hair. I have to manually clean the robot each week to rid the long hair.
How does this automatic cleaning do with hair?
as long as it manage to get to the internal dustbin then it will sucked to the dust bag. No robots out there can easily deal with long hair
@@AlexTeo There is one. You can check Hobot D7.
yes I have the same version of the ecovacs, the only issue is the tangling hair, so I set it clean 1/2 room at a time, not all the entire house, it works okay there is still a little amount of tangling hair but better than before
The earlier AES has 2 hole, so the hair pulling from each other hole
Sorry if my English is bad
Planning to buy this omni soon , but yeah it is pretty expensive
@@marcinmarcin4566 thanks ! May i know if Hobot D7 has a dust bin for auto collecting dust?
Alex
Does long hair gets emptied into the dust bag or remain entwined in the vacumn brush only ? TX
for long hair there is a high chance some will get entangled onto the brush so it's not 100%, same applies to other robovac
Hi Alex
Great review!
I'm still a bit confused with the mopping pads and carpet cleaning thing.
I have carpets almost in every room.
If I want to vaccum and mop at the same time, can I still use Omni with the mopping pads and set the carpet areas as a forbidden zone?
Or is there another way to do so without having to remove the mopping pads?
TBH I'm a lazy cleaner 😇
Also, my house has 2floors.
Do I need to start from the 1st floor, or Omni knows how to take the scales?
I'm new in this vaccum automation life, and wonder if omni or roborock would be the best fit for me.
hihi, the newer generation of vacuum robots with mopping is they will avoid going up the carpets to avoid dirtying them, so basically they will just vacuum and mop on hard floors. If you want to vacuum carpets, you have to manually remove the mopping component. Roborock S7 and after has the feature to lift up the mopping by around 1cm when it detects carpet. So it depends on what kind of carpets are in your rooms, if they are low pile carpets then go for roborock as it can clean everything in 1 single cleaning session. If not, then maybe can consider getting 2 robots instead, 1 to do vacuum and 1 to do mopping. Since you have 2 floors, they can run concurrently as well
I have a J7+ for vacuuming and a Narwal for mopping. Great combo.
@@jasonrusso7 Thanks, can you please give me the full brand name? I'm new with all the codes 🙃😇
@@anne-laurencezanclan5651 iRobot J7+ and Narwal T10. The narwal is actually a vacuum too, but it's a much better mop, so I leave the mop pads on it. The two combined cost the same as 1 Omni
I bought it on the 25th during their launch sale and was waiting for your review! Glad to know you have good comments about it 👍🏻 excited to use it soon!
wow that's fast!
@@AlexTeo managed to collect some vouchers and it was a good discount that I couldn’t pass up 😂
@@coach.jaytee How much did you pay for it? Today Lazada Bday sale can get for 1443. Torn whether to buy it now or wait a few more months!
@@AlexTeo Thanks! But your link is the Turbo. What's the difference?
@@cktalon7519 ahhh my mistake, that's without auto empty
Hi alex, can i ask if u only overlay your living flooring but not your bed rooms? Does the robot have issue climbing over the transition strip?
there is like a small hump to join them together, not sure exactly how to describe that
Ok cool
Hi Alex, I would like to check if you have an issue with the clean water tank dispensing out? I bought the X1 from china and am looking for a troubleshooting solution as I do not have a warranty locally.
Nope i havent encounter such issue before
There are 3rd party customize modules on Taobao to fully automate the water in/out.
ya i want the companies to develop that officially for the global market
Ive ordered the X1 OMNI. Its on the way. One drawback i feel is that the robot is too wide. It cannot get between many chairs out there. You need the robot to be around 30cm or small to get in between chairs.
Hmm the size is pretty standard robot size, didnt had significant increase
Thanks Alex. Is there a feature to choose floor. Like to take the unit upstairs and set floor one ? Then take it back to the charging station in G floor ?
no need to set anything, the robot is intelligent to scan and detect where it is and clean accordingly to the map that is mapped out
Thanks @@AlexTeo
Hi Alex, does the water splatter at the front of the docking station when the mop pads are being cleaned?
Asking coz that's what I experienced for Roidmi Eva, so just want to compare.
nope, but how could that actually happen when the cleaning is like hidden inside
@@AlexTeo not too sure how it happened, but I saw water splatter out whenever it dries the mop, maybe air dry + spin dry? Could be a design flaw.
@@smlhng hmm mine not even a single droplet, that's why I am like puzzled how is that even possible
Can you have different maps (and different exclusion zones) for dry and wet cleaning? How about different schedules?
no, it won't have duplicates of the same map
@@AlexTeo That's one feature I would like to have. Our needs are different for dry and wet cleaning.
Omg, this is awesome. How this ecovac would free up so much of my time. I wonder if they would take a trade in on my husband for this lol 😆 great review, am definitely saving my $$ for this. Thanx for the update/review. Keep up the great work, love your vlogs 👍🤙
Yes indeed its lots of time and also energy saved!
It'd be nice to have a bagless option for the auto empty Dock, similar to the roborock. How does the robot handle accidental liquid spillage while it's running? Will it avoid the spot or just vacuum over it?
but roborock kinda remove that in their maxV/G10S series already. Liquid spill? the robot will definitely try to mop it away
@@AlexTeo Roborock is going to have a washable bag soon.
I don't know if I prefer this style mopping pad or roborock...I don't like the idea of having to remove the pad when it needs to vacuum
@@pinogatto3540 tbh I'm a bit concerned with liquid getting mixed with the dust during vacuuming, might cause a mess during auto empty
@@ykang568it's just that the mop on the roborock lifts up when vacuuming so it doesn't touch the floor at all...also if it sees carpet, it lifts so it doesn't touch
How is the integration with smartthings hub? Is it supported out of the box or we need some 3rd party device handler?
nah only out of the box integration for smartthings is with samsung robots. I saw some development work on the community forum, it will be nice to have robot automatically start cleaning when all of the member's in the house is not connected to the wifi
@@AlexTeo Thanks for the info, the wifi thing is a great idea! Hope to see some updates soon from community.
Will you do a comparison review for x1 omnia and roidmi Eva? Both looks very similar in terms of the self cleaning functionality. Even under the hood seems the same lol
will cover the new models from ecovacs, roborock and dreame this year
Hey Alex, what are your thoughts of buying this robot vacuum on Taobao considering the price is 60% the price in Singapore
i am not sure whether the app can support or not, you are also missing out the warranty support so it will be a gamble
Hi Alex, for my household with a small dog, is the dreamy L10S or this Ecovac X1 Omni better?
how small? small dog poop are very very small, robot AI might not be able to detect it. But overall dreame L10S better
@@AlexTeo it’s a Pomeranian dog so quite small.
Hi Alex. I run a 5g mesh wifi network at home instead of a dual band. Do you think there will be any issues in connecting the x1 to wifi
nope no issues
Do you recommend to put at the service yard area like 11:36?
Yup thats where i put it
Nice review bro! Any cleaning appliance combinations for low/mid/high budget?
hmm... sounds like a good video idea suggestion!
Alex, I just watched this video (which is from a year ago). Any updates on such very good vacuum and mop self cleaning machines? Btw, really like your videos!❤
yeah waiting for all the top robot vacuum companies to release their flagship model this year and I will do a comparison video
@@AlexTeo is ecovacs releasing a new version of this model?
Hello, im considering buying this robot for my dental clinic. All levelled hard floor only. How long does it take to mop certain m2?
depends on the obstacles, if it's an open space then I will say all the robots are going at about the same speed
Nice review Alex! Just wondering how did you manage to connect the cleaner to app in SG? I just got my x1 mini, but cannot connect to app even using 2.4G wifi. Spent the whole afternoon to try different solutions yet still cannot add the device to app, quite frastrated.
hi julia, did you manage to contact support? your problem is not common, the process of adding is the same as per all other brands which i didn't encounter any of such issues before for all the bots i tested
@@AlexTeo Thank you for your reply! Eventually i scan the bar code on robot and connect the device to Internet. But that require a china mobile number to register user account. Luckily my friend helped. If i select model from app to connect, always get failue after more than 60% completed. Not sure if this is because i buy from taobao. The version didn't support other countries well. Other than this problem, very happy with the product. Just work like what you have reviewed.
@@juliazhu4168 then that makes sense as it is meant only for use in china
@@AlexTeo just checked with their support at wechat. They confirm must use china mobile number for registration if want to connect the robot to app. No matter which version... Or can only use the robot without app, which is then not so smart
@@juliazhu4168 that's for china sets because they are meant to be used only in china, same goes for other brands. This is not a requirement if you purchased the international version
I have an x1e and after 70mq the battery runs out and then it need lot of hours to get recharged... Is this normal? Is the x1 version morr performant? I am thinking to return it because the cleaning is always incomplete...
Alex, my house has 2 lvl story, how should I apply this robot, I planned to put it 1st floor, am I able to clean the 2nd lvl too ? Like how does it work if I just carry the robot and put it on the 2nd floor ? (Without the station)
What do you think ?
Thanks you’re awesome !
yeah you have to physically carry the robot to the 2nd floor, it supports multi level map
Yet another awesome video, Alex! Btw, One dust bag can last how long? Can we put other cleaning solution to the water tank?
Dust bag depends on usage but average about 2 months. Technically can put other cleaning solution, but might void warranty not sure, better not put those that are too strong
You need to trial and error to use solution that wont leave (usually) white residue, it may clog the small pipe. Cleaning solution also might leads the small rubber pipe inside the water tank to disconnect from its water pipe. If its happened,from what i know, you need to buy water tank replacement.because almost all water tank for vacuum bot can not be opened.
Ecovacs sell their own brand of cleaning solution. It's not cheap but it does not void the warranty. I got the confirmation from ecovacs themselves. Those who bought from lazada 10th anniversary sale would've received a bottle for free.
My experience with roborock is that I once brought in my robot for servicing before warranty even expired. However, the first thing the technician does is smell the water tank and point straight to it after noticing I put cleaning solution into it. The problem is with the wheel grip which cannot grip after floor becomes wet when mopping. I ended up buying a new tank since they keep insisting it's a water tank issue and warranty already void after adding cleaning solution. The new water tank doesn't solve the issue even with clear water. I notice all other other customers bringing their vac in for servicing ended up buying water tanks and mop cloths too. So I got extra careful with ecovacs this time and ask since 3 years is a long time for the warranty they're providing if bought on lazada 10th anniversary sale.
Hi Alex. Would I be able to activate the cleaning remotely when I am out of the house? Also, is this still your preferred robot after 1 year? Thanks!
yes you can remote control via the app. My current recommended robot is the dreame L10s
Do you have a review of it?
@@zhisenxie2106 yup there is
Yo Alex, thanks. Any comparison between Roidmi Eva Smart Robot vs X1 Omni?
Nah don't think i will cover that
Alex how soundproof is ur house? got noisy sounds from neighbours?
I didn't do any special treatment, so i guess its the default singapore public housing soundproof quality haa
Hi Alex, i just got the x1 omni today... By any chance would you know why my x1 omni is already asking me to refill the water tank after just 1 cleaning session? Have previously filled it to the max on the first time.
Did you physically check whether there are still water inside the clean water tank? I suggest you take some time to observe what the bot is doing in one cleaning session, such as how many times it did the self cleaning, and is there excess water leaking out during the cleaning
Seeing how the cleaning solution that came with the robot is not sold. What other cleaning solutions do you recommend to go with this Deebot? Thanks.
It should come in later, you can go with tineco or hizero solution too
@@AlexTeo thanks! Will check those out
