At IFA Berlin 2026, companies like Anker (Eufy Omni E35) and Ecovacs (Deebot X12S Omnicyclone) showcased robot vacuums specifically certified to remove dust mites and allergens, with third-party testing backing their claims. Overall, the show felt quieter than previous years, with fewer wild concept reveals and more focus on refining existing product lines like the Saros Rover and Dreame Cyber X.
At IFA, Ecovacs showed off its new Deebot X12S OmniCyclone robot vacuum, which builds on the X12 with stronger suction and a dust-mite-focused cleaning mode, but its water-jet stain removal demo failed to hit the intended spot during a live demonstration. The company says third-party testing found the robot removes over 97% of dust mite allergens and nearly 96% of dust mites from carpet, aiming at allergy-prone households.
At IFA, Ecovacs unveiled the Deebot X12S OmniCyclone, an update to its X12 robot vacuum that adds dust mite removal capability while retaining the water jet stain-loosening feature from its predecessor. In a live demonstration, the reporter observed the stain-removal spray fail to actually hit its intended target, raising questions about that feature's reliability, though independent testing by SGS in Singapore found the device removed over 97% of dust mite allergens and 95% of dust mites from carpet.
Ecovacs has unveiled the Deebot X12S OmniCyclone, an updated robot vacuum designed to dig deeper into carpet fibers to remove dust mites and allergens. Independent testing by SGS Testing & Control Services Singapore found it eliminated an average of 97.44% of dust mite allergens and 95.45% of dust mites from carpet. The model also boosts suction to 53 air watts, a 60% increase over its predecessor, and retains a self-cleaning roller and stain-spray feature from the previous X12 generation.
