Premium Robot Vacs Are Getting Cheaper. Ecovacs' New Model Proves It

read original related products more articles

Ecovacs is known for making some of the best robot vacuums we have tested here at CNET, earning several top spots on our list. The new Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni, the successor to the T80 Omni, brings the fast-charging and four-wheel-drive capabilities from the flagship X12 and X11 Omnicyclone to a more affordable price, which is a trend we've been seeing from robot vacuums across brands.

Here's what else is new.

For under $1,000 ($900 at launch), the T90 Pro features Ecovacs' PowerBoost Charging, a feature we first saw on the X11 Omnicyclone. This lets the robot vacuum top up its battery faster, allowing it to complete cleaning in a single cycle rather than constantly returning to the docking station. Ecovacs says the technology is an industry first and works by dynamically reserving and restoring power during routine mop-washing sessions.

Other capabilities are pretty much what you'd expect from a mid- to high-end robot vacuum. It has Ecovac's newer Ozmo Roller 3.0, which features a self-washing mop roller. The roller itself is a 27-centimeter microfiber roller, which the company says is the largest in its class. Ecovacs says it maintains continuous pressure on the floor and should be less likely to spread dirt than spinning pads and vibrating mop systems. The microfiber should also be able to capture dust and grime more effectively,

The mop is self-washing, meaning the robot refreshes the roller with clean water while it cleans, and it'll also be self-cleaned, washed, and dried when the robot stops at its base station. The T90 Omni also features TruEdge cleaning to reach edges, so the mop roll and brushes can pop out to reach tight corners.

The T90 Omni will cost you $900 at launch. That's less than the $1,000 the T80 Omni cost when it launched in 2025. However, the older model is currently $500 on sale, making it a much better deal. For comparison, Ecovacs' upcoming flagship, the X12 Omnicyclone, doesn't have a price yet, but it'll likely be priced similarly to the $1,500 X11 Omnicyclone
