Ecovacs has officially revealed details on its new flagship robot vacuum, the Deebot X8 Pro Omni, alongside the Deebot T50 Series at CES 2025. The new Deebot X8 Pro Omni is announced with an emphasis on better mopping ability and next generation technology upgrades.
This announcement follows Ecovacs’ successful run in 2024 with the Deebot N20 Plus, which earned Vacuum Wars’ recommendation as the best budget robot vacuum of the year.
Deebot X8 Pro Omni
OZMO™ Roller Mop
This is the first time Ecovacs has used a rolling mophead on a robot vacuum, and calls this mopping component the OZMO™ Roller Mop. According to Ecovacs, the mop roller is constantly cleaned while it operates, reducing contamination buildup and keeping the mop head fresh.
Ecovacs Robotics teamed up with the floor-washing Research and Development arm of its sub-company, Tineco, to put this rolling mophead on the X8 Pro Omni. Since Tineco has performed well (YouTube link) in our latest mop-vacuum combo tests, we are curious about this addition to the Ecovacs robot vacuum design.
Tech Talk: Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’
Rolling mopheads – like the OZMO roller system in the Deebot X8 and similar systems in models like the Eufy S1 Pro Omni – use a continuous stream of clean water directed onto a rotating roller. A built-in scraper removes the dirty water and channels it into a separate tank, allowing the roller to stay refreshed during operation. We have found that this form of mophead is most effective against wet spills.
The OZMO roller delivers constant pressure pf 4,000 Pa at 200 revolutions per minute to a relatively small contact area with the floor, which increases friction and – hopefully – cleaning power. According to Ecovacs, this roller design offers more effective stain removal than the rotating mop heads found in the OZMO Turbo 2.0 and in other brands of robot vacuum, a claim we are curious to test.

Cleaning Power
The Deebot X8 Pro is rated at up to 18,000 Pa of suction, which is notably high among current consumer-level robot vacuums. Ecovacs also points to its Anti-Tangle brush design aimed at minimizing hair wrap.
Next Generation Upgrades
Ecovacs has released updates on several features in the X8 Pro Omni, advancing them a generation over its predecessor, the X5 Pro Omni:
- TruEdge 2.0: Adjusts the side brush and mop to better reach edges and corners.
- TruEdge 3D Sensor: Creates a real-time 3D map to avoid collisions.
- Laser LiDAR Navigation: Provides a slimmer build, potentially helping the robot slide under lower furniture by embedding the LiDAR component
- AIVI 3D 3.0: Upgraded obstacle recognition to identify and avoid common household items more effectively.
- YIKO-GPT Voice Interactions: Allows for more advanced voice commands, though specifics on language processing are still forthcoming.
T50: Newest Family in the Deebot Lineup
At CES 2025, Ecovacs is also announcing the new Deebot T50 Family. The flagship model of the new series, the Deebot T50 Max Pro, is listed at 15,000 Pa of suction, which may interest those with thick carpets or higher debris levels.
Meanwhile, the T50 Pro Omni sports a notably slim profile—81 mm—making it among Ecovacs’ lowest-profile vacuums to date. This could be relevant for homes with limited clearance under furniture.
Several software and hardware innovations from the X8 Pro carry over to the T50 series. TruEdge 2.0 and AIVI 3D 3.0 are included to support better edge cleaning and object avoidance. These shared features might help unify Ecovacs’ 2025 lineup in terms of navigation and usability.
Notable Mentions: the GOAT A1-3000 and Winbot
GOAT A1-3000 (Robotic Lawn Care)
Ecovacs has been very industrious this year, as they are also unveiling their newest addition to their robot lawn mower offerings, the GOAT A1-3000 with what it calls “multi-technology navigation,” combining RTK, LiDAR, and camera vision to enhance outdoor mowing precision. While lawn care isn’t our primary focus, this is evidence of Ecovacs making advances as a brand beyond their robot vacuums.
Winbot (Robotic Window Cleaning)
For window cleaning, the Winbot series receives updates in edge cleaning, portability, and form factor. Ecovacs is adding docking stations with charging capabilities and making a smaller “Winbot Mini” for tighter spaces. This may be relevant for users interested in covering multiple cleaning tasks with a single brand.
All these new releases will be showcased at CES 2025.
Availability & Pricing
Ecovacs plans to launch the X8 Pro Omni on February 18, 2025 and the T50 series are slated to roll out later in 2025. Specific pricing details have yet to be confirmed. More information will follow in the weeks after CES 2025.
We at Vacuum Wars are most curious about the OZMO™ Roller Mop and the claimed 18,000 Pa suction in the X8 Pro Omni. If these specifications translate to real-world performance in mopping thoroughness and vacuum pickup, the X8 Pro will be a competitive addition to the market.
If Vacuum Wars reviews this product we will make our findings available in the Robot Vacuum reviews area of this website. Best rated models may also qualify for a spot in our Best Robot Vacuums list.
