Re-Shaping Home Cleaning – Revolutionary ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI Launches in Australia

Square instead of round, more powerful and smarter than ever before, new ECOVACS flagship delivers industry-first levels of cleaning precision

Just one week after global unveiling, Australian pre-order is available from today

Sydney, Australia - September 21, 2023: ECOVACS ROBOTICS, the world's leading service robotics brand and Australian market leader, has announced the Australian launch of its revolutionary new DEEBOT X2 OMNI robotic vacuum cleaner. Square instead of round and more powerful than ever before, the DEEBOT X2 OMNI comes with an exciting range of advanced features and new innovations that redefine the design, performance and navigation of robotic vacuuming and mopping. Seen globally at IFA 2023 in Berlin earlier this month, the DEEBOT X2 OMNI is available in Australia from today.

The DEEBOT X2 OMNI boasts a brand-new design and innovations that set a new standard in home cleaning performance, as more than 100 ECOVACS patents come together in this new flagship. Its new square design is complemented by ECOVACS' newly-developed Semi-Solid-State Lidar which is directly integrated into the main body of the robot for the first time, which means that it can deliver true edge-to-edge cleaning precision as well as a lower profile of just 9.5cm to reach every corner and hard-to-reach, low lying furniture which have previously been impossible to reach without manual intervention.

Its 8,000pa of suction is 60% more powerful than its predecessor, it has a 15mm auto-lift feature on its mopping pads, has a run time of more than two and a half hours, and it contains a raft of new and powerful ECOVACS proprietary AI and machine learning technology that sets a new industry standard. The more it cleans, the more experience it gains, refining its autonomous decisions and cleaning performance and recommending optimal cleaning solutions over time, including the best navigation strategy, more precise and flexible obstacle avoidance, faster response times and higher detection sensitivity.

Meanwhile, the all-in-one OMNI station, now with a smaller footprint than its predecessor, offers a fully automatic cleaning solution, washing its mopping pads with 55 °C hot water and then drying them with hot air. The dust container is also emptied automatically, and clean water is refilled into the robot, making the whole process of the DEEBOT X2 OMNI effortlessly simple.

"The DEEBOT X2 OMNI is a clear indication of our commitment to continuously push the boundaries of innovation to deliver a superior cleaning performance, advanced intelligence, and an immersive cleaning experience," said Karen Powell, ECOVACS Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand.

"With today's launch we have delivered the ultimate cleaning companion that truly simplifies home cleaning, making everyday cleaning intelligent, effortless, and effective. We have gone well beyond incremental improvements to set a new course for technological advancement and product innovation in the industry, and Australian consumers will be among the first in the world to be able to access these new technology breakthroughs."

Unprecedented New Design Breaks New Ground in Thorough Home Cleaning

ECOVACS takes cleaning to new dimensions with the DEEBOT X2 OMNI, particularly for those who value edge-to-edge cleanliness, quality and luxury in their living spaces.

• Unmatched Cleaning Coverage: The brand-new design of the DEEBOT X2 OMNI features a square design, built-in edge detection sensors and outstretched mopping pads for edge-to edge cleanliness. These features enable the robot to perceive the furniture environment across the home, which provide thorough deep cleaning with edge coverage as high as 99.77% and a 19% increase in cleaning efficiency. The innovative square shape has expanded the width of the front roller brush and allows the mopping pads to move 30mm closer to the corners, resulting in a 45% reduction in distance over its predecessor X1 model. With enhanced proprietary motion control algorithms, the DEEBOT X2 OMNI effectively resolves the "way-out" problem when navigating narrow areas, ensuring a thorough cleaning experience that leaves no dirt or dust behind. The DEEBOX X2 OMNI also integrates ECOVACS's longest main roller brush, which further elevate its cleaning performance.

• Effortlessly Thorough Cleaning: ECOVACS has crafted the DEEBOT X2 OMNI with a square and compact design tailored to users' everyday needs and challenges in cleaning hard-to-reach areas with vacuum cleaners. Measuring 32cm in diameter and 9.5cm in height, the super-thin, low-profile design enables the robotic cleaner to glide underneath all furniture, like sofas and beds, easily, cleaning areas where dirt often hides. This advanced design makes cleaning more manageable and efficient, saving users' time and effort.

• Space-saving Elegance: Accommodating the DEEBOT X2 is the new OMNI station, featuring a space-saving form factor of 394mm x 527.5mm x 443.73mm in dimensions. This sleek design allows easy integration in various living spaces, ensuring a clutter-free and organised home.
