    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The robot vacuum cleaner is undergoing a renaissance this year as all the major manufacturers figure out new and more outlandish ways to make the tiresome chore of cleaning your floors fully automated.

    The X2 is a complete redesign of the Deebot X1 Omni, featuring a new shape, a more slimline look, and a toweringly high suction power (8,000 Pa) and mop lift capability (15mm).

    The automatic dock that empties the bin, washes and dries the mops and drains, and refills the robot’s water tank, is also more slender.

    Ecovacs also claims to have vastly improved the navigation system and AI-powered obstacle avoidance capabilities on the X2, with a new dual-laser lidar technology.

    The new navigation system means the X2 can dispense with the lidar tower on top, as its lasers are built into the sides, making its profile lower and better able to get under low furniture.

    We’ll be putting all these bots to the test over the coming months and will report back on how effective all this new tech is at doing the real dirty work.
