I was looking for a solution to avoid the daily chore of cleaning. A device that works for me. I finally found that ally. It’s my new vacuum cleaner: the Ecovacs Deebot X11. Since it arrived in my home, my relationship with cleaning has completely changed. I’ll tell you all about this incredible machine that takes care of everything. Let me share my personal experience with this robot.

Exceptional Cleaning Power

From the very first uses, I was blown away. This vacuum is not a gimmick. First of all, its suction power reaches 19,500 PA. That’s a colossal force for a robot. In short, it vacuums everything in its path. No dirt can resist it. I have a large rug at the entrance where everyone wipes their feet. It’s a very difficult area to maintain. Yet, the Deebot X11 cleans it perfectly. I was genuinely surprised by its effectiveness on textiles. It deeply vacuums dust and debris.

Next, let’s talk about mopping. The device features the Osmo Roller 2.0 system. This is a cleaning roller that spins at over 200 revolutions per minute. It actively scrubs the floor to remove stains. The result is flawless. My tiled floor has never been so shiny. I almost feel like it’s stripping the floor because it cleans so well. Additionally, this roller can shift to the side. This allows it to clean right up against walls and baseboards. Every inch of my house is therefore perfectly clean.

Intelligence Serving Cleanliness

I wondered how it would handle my rugs. Would it get them wet? The answer is no. Thanks to the Triple Lift System technology, the robot is very smart. It detects carpets and rugs. It then automatically lifts its cleaning roller by 10 millimeters. This height is sufficient for most rugs, even thick ones. Thus, it vacuums my rugs without ever getting them damp. This is an essential feature for me.

Furthermore, its navigation is simply brilliant. It is equipped with AIVI 3D 3.0 technology. In practice, it sees and analyzes its environment in real-time. It can therefore predict and avoid obstacles. I no longer need to pick up all the cables or the kids’ toys before it starts. It intelligently navigates around them. It even identifies my cat and doesn’t bump into him. This makes its daily use very simple and stress-free. It never gets stuck.

I also have some fairly high door thresholds in my house. For example, the one leading to my terrace. This is not a problem for the Deebot X11. It has a four-wheel-drive system. This enables it to cross obstacles several centimeters high. It cleans my living room, then moves onto the terrace without any help. It’s a real gain in autonomy.

Goodbye to Hair and Pet Fur

One of the worst problems with vacuums is brush maintenance. Hair and pet fur constantly get tangled in it. Ecovacs has thought of everything with its Z0 Tangle-Free technology. This specially designed brush prevents hair from getting tangled. It’s a relief. I no longer need to spend time cleaning the main brush. The device’s maintenance is therefore significantly reduced. For all pet owners, this is a true revolution.

A Station That Manages Everything for Me

The vacuum comes with a large base station. It is much more than just a charger. It is the true command center of the operation. First, it recharges the robot very quickly. In just 3 minutes, it regains 6% of its battery. It can therefore perform several cleaning cycles in a short amount of time if needed.

Second, this station is omnicyclone. This means it does not use a dust bag. The dust is collected in a bin. I just have to empty this bin directly into my trash can. It’s more economical and ecological. I no longer have to buy bags.

Third, the station manages the water. It contains two tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. The robot automatically returns to it to fill its tank and empty its used water. So, I don’t have to do it manually. It is completely self-sufficient. I fill the large clean water tank much less often.

Finally, and this is a feature I love, the station washes and dries the cleaning roller. After each cycle, the robot returns to its base. The station then cleans the roller with hot water at 63°C (145°F). Then, it dries it with hot air. This prevents bad odors and bacteria growth. It’s one less chore for me.

Total Control Through the App

The Ecovacs Home app is very intuitive. It gives me complete control over the vacuum. On it, I can see the map of my home that the robot has created. It has even identified the location of my furniture and rugs. I can ask it to clean a specific area. For example, just under the table after a meal. I can also select specific rooms. For instance, clean only the office and the kitchen.

The app allows for customized cleaning. I choose the mode: vacuum only, mop only, or both. Can adjust the suction power. I can also adjust the water flow for mopping. Can even decide if it should do one or two passes. If I don’t want to bother with settings, I activate the “Gentle Hosting” smart mode. The robot then manages everything itself.

I can also schedule cleanings. Personally, I have programmed it to clean the entire house three times a week. This way, my floor is always impeccable. I could almost eat off of it!

My Final Verdict: The Best Robot Vacuum I’ve Tested

This vacuum comes at a cost. Its price is around €1,500. It is a significant investment. However, given its performance, I believe it is worth it. To conclude, the Ecovacs Deebot X11 is by far the best robot vacuum I have ever tested. Its power, its smart navigation, and especially its all-in-one station make it incredibly effective and autonomous. It has freed me from a large part of my household chores. If you are looking for a complete and effortless cleaning solution, I recommend it without hesitation.
