Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni: What technology helps clean every corner of the house?
With TrueEdge 2.0 technology, Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni completely solves the problem of cleaning edges and hidden corners, a big challenge for many robot vacuum cleaners today.
New advancement in automatic cleaning technology
The Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni marks a significant development in the field of robot vacuum cleaners, effectively solving one of the inherent weaknesses of round devices: the ability to clean corners and edges. Instead of relying solely on suction and side brushes, this robot integrates advanced mechanical and sensor technologies to proactively access the most difficult areas, providing a more comprehensive cleaning effect.
Decoding TrueEdge 2.0 core technology
TrueEdge 2.0 technology is the foundation that sets the X8 Pro Omni apart, consisting of two parallel working mechanisms to optimize edge cleaning. This is a complex technical solution that combines both hardware and spatial recognition software.
Extendable side brush
First is the side brush system mounted on a mechanical arm that can automatically extend when the robot detects a wall corner. The LiDAR and AIVI 3D 3.0 sensors will scan and recognize the room structure. When a 90-degree angle is determined, the arm will expand, sweeping the brush deep inside to sweep the dirt out. This mechanism helps overcome the limitation of the robot's round shape.
Flexible sliding mop
The second and most prominent component is the roller mop that can slide horizontally. As the robot moves along the base of walls or around objects such as table legs or chair legs, the motor inside pushes the entire mop shaft outward, close to the edge of the floor. This ensures that no dry strip of floor is left behind, a common problem with robots with a fixed mop in the center.
Sensor system and powerful suction performance
In addition to TrueEdge 2.0, the performance of the X8 Pro Omni is also enhanced by the AIVI 3D 3.0 sensor system. Using LiDAR technology, the robot is capable of accurately mapping the space, recognizing and avoiding small obstacles such as children's toys or electrical wires. Notably, the sensor can also detect stubborn stains through color changes on the floor, then automatically return to wipe multiple times to ensure complete cleaning.
In terms of suction, the device has a suction force of up to 18,000 Pa, enough to handle all types of dirt from fine dust to pet hair. The brush is a combination of hard bristles and silicone strips, designed to prevent hair and fur from tangling, minimizing maintenance efforts for users.
Multi-function charging station and smart features
The included charging station is not only a charging station but also a complete processing center. It automatically sucks the robot's dust into a dust bag, washes the mop with hot water and dries it with hot air to prevent mold and odors. The station has two separate water tanks for clean and dirty water. One minor drawback noted is that there is sometimes a slight smell of dirty water when the station is draining water from the robot, but this does not affect the overall performance.
Matter Platform and Application Integration
The Ecovacs app allows users to deeply customize cleaning modes, from choosing vacuum-only, mop-only, or a combination of both, to adjusting suction power and water volume for each specific room. Support for the Matter platform is also a plus, helping the robot connect and operate more smoothly in smart home ecosystems like Google Home, allowing for more detailed and precise voice control.
Overview
The Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni is a smart and efficient cleaning device, especially highlighted by TrueEdge 2.0 technology. The combination of superior edge cleaning ability, powerful suction, sophisticated sensor system and comprehensive automatic charging station creates a cleaning solution that requires almost no intervention. Despite the high price, this is a worthy option for those looking for maximum cleaning efficiency and convenience in maintaining their living space.
