This Robot Vacuum Has 4WD and Fast Charging Like An Electric SUV. Here’s Why It Matters

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-06 17:00:00

Most robot vacuums have two wheels in the back that are directly powered, though they may still have front roller that allows them to move smoothly. This works fine for most people’s homes but if, like me, you have a lot of dramatic thresholds that measure an inch or more, you’ll find your robot cleaner getting stuck a lot. Ecovac’s new Deebot X11 Pro Omnicyclone (X11 Pro Omni), showcased at IFA 2025, is designed to tackle this problem by giving it four-wheel drive and the ability to climb thres

The Dreame X50 Didn’t Just Mop My Floors -- It Outsmarted My Furniture

CNET's key takeaways No robot vacuum has truly solved the challenge of multilevel cleaning without requiring you to physically move it between floors. This robo-vac can do it, for the high-end price of $1,700. You won't find another robot vacuum with its features for less than $1,000 right now. The whole point of owning a robot vacuum is so you don't have to do the cleaning yourself. But that was never the case at my house -- partly because of what I call my "Ikea chair challenge."

Roborock’s Washer and Dryer Combo Also Doubles as a Robot Vacuum Dock

Roborock’s big product announcement at IFA 2025 is something I don’t think anybody saw coming: a combo washer and dryer with a secret compartment for robot vacuums. Called the 4-in-1 Household Cleaning Combo for now, it has no price and no release date, but it might be one of my favorite ideas on the show floor so far. The washer and dryer is essentially the Roborock Zeo One, which the company also showed off at the Berlin technology show. It’s a smart washer and dryer with a glossy glass front
