The Deebot X2 Combo from Ecovacs takes all the power and performance of the X2 Omni robot vacuum and adds a versatile stick vacuum with some of the same quality of life features we find in robots.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Build & Design<\/h2>\n

The X2 Combo is a new step for the robotic vacuum cleaner. We’ve seen other companies make stick-powered vacuums close to the stand alone, but usually nothing like this.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the X2 Combo setup looks like a standard robot vacuum base station. The X2 Omni – which is a robot vacuum in itself – sits inside the station, complete with automatic emptying features for both water and dust.<\/p>\n

However, the base right brings more value than the previous models. Inside the docking station, the handheld unit is secured. Underneath, attachments are kept away, and on the side sits an extender attached to a standard roller brush. Essentially, the base station of the X2 Combo is a do-it-all unit with a full stick vacuum attached next to the X2 Omni itself.<\/p>\n

What’s different about this is the ease of setup and functionality it offers. Where the handheld unit sits is actually a separate docking port that will automatically charge the unit and empty its dust bin when it’s reconnected. The dust collection system uses the same bag as the X2 Omni, which reduces the load when maintaining the station, although it increases the frequency depending on how much you manually clean.<\/p>\n

The overall build quality is very similar to that offered by the X2 Omni. We have a full review of that space, which is worth reading for more details on the Ecovacs X2 Combo. Actually, Ecovacs just attached a second dock to the base station of the X2 Omni and added automatic shut-off features for the second station, which I can’t complain about.<\/p>\n

Working<\/h2>\n

The X2 Combo is a great idea, and it’s honestly pretty well done. By its very nature, the X2 Omni has limitations in various situations. It’s self-contained, so it won’t get everywhere on the first or second run. Anything that blocks its way in the frame run will inevitably be missed in the second run, and so on.<\/p>\n

Where the stick vacuum comes in is where the X2 Omni falls. It’s very easy to pull the handheld stick vacuum unit out of the dock and attach any tool you need, whether it’s a floor brush or an upholstery brush.<\/p>\n

With the trigger tap, the vacuum moves – slowly at first and then at a faster speed. There are two modes for different situations, or I left the handheld vacuum on the strongest setting while I was using it. There’s a lot to like about the Ecovacs X2 Combo handheld vacuum unit. It is easy to use, picks up dust and debris easily, and is very easy to remove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

My only complaint is that I wish the vacuum was stronger. The other stick vacuums I own don’t really blow the market in terms of power, but they can kick up dust from the floor with more violence than the handheld X2 Combo. I think the X2 Combo shines on hard flooring, and there’s no doubt it won’t leave a mark on laminate or hardwood floors. But for carpet, I don’t think it provides the power needed to clean properly.<\/p>\n

That helps keep the battery going for a while, though. While testing, I never once stopped cleaning to charge the handheld unit. It just runs out of power until I’m ready to put it back on the charger. That process is not for battery replacement or any hardware modification, which I am always grateful for.<\/p>\n
