ECOVACS ROBOTICS recently showcased a new range of cutting-edge products during its 2023 Global Launch Event. This introduction represents the brand’s ongoing commitment to addressing diverse home service needs and reinforcing its “Robotics for All” ethos. We were excited to be there and take a closer look at the three of the newly released robots. You can check out the video about the event tour.
ECOVACS Deebot X2 OMNI
The first one is the Deebot X2 OMNI robot vacuum. The biggest changes noticeable to the eyes are the shape and size. The front of the robot has been designed in a square body, with 32cm wide and 95mm high, and the mop underneath is 200mm wide, which is pretty large.
If you have followed up on the robot vacuum products in this market, you will understand that, unlike all the rounded robot vacuums out there, such shape and dimension changes, we’ve seen before in the market, can again largely improve the capability of cleaning some hard-to-reach places, like 90-degree corners, areas under or around the sofa, and we will definitely notice the differences it makes. Meanwhile, the mop lift is improved to 15mm high now and the suction power is upgraded to 7500-8000pa, this will enable the robot to climb up taller carpets and will not leave any dirt behind. Ecovas claims that the X2 OMNI can clean up to 99.77% of the whole house, which is much like a figure that we haven’t seen before.
In order to fulfill a vacuum’s destiny, the brain of the robot has also been upgraded. The AIVI 3D 2.0 system has a “Dual-laser Lidar”, which not only significantly reduced the height of the robot, but also can detect everything much quicker and more precisely within a wide 210-degree field of view.
The benefit of the upgrades enables the robot to have a better computing ability, you can see how it maps out the more squared-off corners and accurate tiny objects. In reality, it can determine the size and position of the objects in front of it, not just one, but all of them, so it can decide the best route to go ahead without any trials. The AI machine learning ability has really helped the robot to select the best navigation strategy, to put it into comparison here, some models from other brands will just stuck and can’t decide which way to go, but the X2 OMNI is doing an excellent job here. The mobility is incredible. By the way, this tech is also used in some electric cars, so the reliability and response are second to none for sure.
Some other features worth mentioning are auto dirty-water detection, auto detergent filling, and YIKO intelligent voice assistant 2.0. Which also helps a lot to improve the overall experience.
After this, would you say it can help you better with household cleaning? let us know your thought down below, and we will try to do a more in-depth review of this later on.
ECOVACS WINBOT W2
Next one is the Winbot W2. Living in the concrete jungle is something we are all familiar with, and the glass window is the portal for us to know the outside world, well keeping it clean can be an essential task we all need to do. The Winbot, a window cleaning robot from Ecovacs solves the problems perfectly, and the W2, got some improvements over the first gen.
The best part is that it has a station for the robot, this station is multi-fuctional, it plays the role of taking the robot anywhere it should be, providing power when the robot is working, automatically retracting the cables, and also it can stick to the floor. In case the robot falls from the window, the station will make sure it does not fall further down, this is a very thoughtful design. With this station, the robot can work for 80mins, it can definitely clean many windows in the house. But just to remind you, the station can not suck on the window like the robot, it’s better to put it on the ground it should be.
A common problem with window-mopping robots is that, when it’s working, the cables will easily tangle together, resulting in malfunction or falling. The W2 solves this problem by utilizing only one strong cable on it, the cable is made of composite materials, and won’t easily bind to anything, and even if it falls, W2 will react within 0.02 seconds, and the cable will hold the robot from falling.
Lastly, the cleaning ability. In hot weather or the glass is in extremely dirty condition, cleaning will be harder. So the W2 can solve this by adapting 2800Pa suction power, and the three nozzles on the robot will spray the water out evenly and continuously, keeping the area wet all the time, as you can imagine, this will help with the cleaning a lot.
ECOVACS AIRBOT Z2
Well these are the main upgrades for the W2, let’s jump to the last one, the Airbot Z2.
The Airbot Z2 is a mobile air purifier. It has the same AIVI 3D system like the X2 OMNI, so it has the same AI mapping and accurate navigation ability, and with all the sensors in each room, it will navigate its own way to find the spaces that need air purification. I must say this is a much more advanced solution than the traditional air purifiers that just sit there and work hard trying to do their job. In a typical experiment, the Z2 can bring the PM2.5 figure down to 25 with half of the time a normal air purifier needs. Another benefit of this AIVI 3D system is that, it can follow the house owner anywhere around providing clean air, sort of like a robotic pet.
The Z2 has 5 layers of filters, each to filter out certain types of odors. The most appealing one to some people is the pet hair filter, it can get rid of 97.5% of the pet hair that might cause allergies, which is quite impressive.
To create a more pleasant environment for the household, Ecovacs works with a well-known perfume brand to bring some essential oil to the Z2, so you have both clean and refreshing air.
