ECOVACS just met my Rottie fluff—can it survive the furpocalypse and earn its treats?

Can One Robot Handle All This Fur? My Paws-On Review of the DEEBOT X5 OMNI

12000+ Pa of suction vs three Rottie naps worth of fur... who wins?

Let’s be real, hoomans—shedding season? That’s every season when you’re living with a majestic 45kg floof-factory like me. One roll over on the rug and BOOM—your house looks like the inside of a tumble dryer. So when mum brought home the ECOVACS DEEBOT X5 OMNI, I side-eyed it harder than a cat in my backyard. Could this sleek little robot really go tail-to-tail with Rottweiler fluff?

The Hairy Situation: Before the DEEBOT

It used to take mum three rounds with the vacuum, one breakdown (hers, not the vacuum), and me being bribed away from the cords with treats just to make the floor look half decent. My fur would cling to corners, cram into skirting boards, and gather in proud tumbleweeds under the lounge like they paid rent. Good luck getting under the bed—that dust bunny colony declared independence months ago.

The Floof Showdown: After DEEBOT X5 Moved In

Now? She presses a button on her phone…and things just disappear. The 12,800Pa suction power on this machine doesn’t play around. We’re talking snack-in-the-bowl-by-accident level suction. (RIP to the rogue biscuit I was saving for later. You were too delicious for this world.)

"The X5 is the only creature in the house that can find the far corners under the couch—and I have a nose for snacks, so that’s saying something." —Thor

Thanks to its Precise Edge Cleaning and D-shaped design, this thing hugs every wall like a homesick puppy. Flat and thin, it glides under furniture like it’s chasing lost treats. And the ZeroTangle Technology? Mum hasn’t once had to sit on the floor pulling out my fur from a roller brush with tweezers in one hand and regret in the other.

It Vacuums. It Mops. It Probably Has a Spotify Playlist Too.

The DEEBOT X5 OMNI doesn’t just vacuum—it mops. Yep. It’s like having a butler who doesn’t ask for breaks. When it hits the carpet, it lifts the mop pads 15mm so nothing gets soggy (amazing, because I totally leaked a little after bark-sneezing too hard last week—no judgment). Then on hard floors, the OZMO Turbo 2.0 rotating mop system swings into full action. Like paws spinning in dream-chasing sleep mode. Except cleaner.

Bonus? The robot lives in a little home station that automatically washes its own mop with hot water, dries itself, empties its bin, and fills its own water tank. And it’s all tucked in like a pup in a crate. Stylish, compact, smells like a robot, not shameful mop funk. Win.

Obstacle Avoidance: Smarter Than Me? Maybe.

Yes, it avoids my bones. Yes, it dodges my tail. Yes, I tried to race it and it gracefully pivoted like a secret agent. The TrueDetect 3D 3.0 tech scans around stuff in real time, avoiding socks, toys, and even cords you forgot were there. (Looking at you, phone charger behind the lamp.)

But Thor, Can It Handle a Real Shed Monster?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, and then some. The anti-hair tangle design means it keeps working even when I’ve gone full roll-and-shed after bath time. And with its dual-comb system, it spits out fur straight into the bin like it saw what I did after walkies and said, “Not today.”

Quick Setup, Seamless Control

Mum set it up in what felt like ten minutes—I don’t have thumbs so I had no input—but I did see her using her phone to send it to spots, schedule cleanings, and even pause it when I barked at a suspiciously chewy-looking stick. She can also check on it through her Apple Watch now. Like, excuse me? You track that thing’s steps but not mine?

Thoughts from One Very Hairy Rottie

Look, I shed fur like it’s confetti at a wedding. It's part of my charm. But if you’re the kind of hooman who wants your house looking tidy even when you live with a four-legged leg-warmer like me, the ECOVACS DEEBOT X5 OMNI might just be your new best friend.

• Edge-to-edge cleaning—even the corners where my fur loves to party.
• No clogged rollers—just clean tracks and a smug robot doing laps.
• Fully automated OMNI station takes care of itself—if only I could train it to make snacks.

Final Verdict: Should You Let the X5 In?

This isn’t just another fancy gadget—it’s your secret to staying one paw ahead of the fur storm. It does what most hooman vacuums dream of: quietly, efficiently, and actually solves the problem instead of just pushing it under the rug (which it cleans too, by the way). You can decorate your dog’s space the way you want—and it’ll stay that way longer than 8 seconds.

You used to clean fur like it was a full-time job. Now you tap a button, sip your coffee, and the DEEBOT does the dirty work. All while I nap in the sunny patch, shedding love all over again.

Moral of the tail? Don’t fight the fur. Outsmart it.

High paw,

Thor 🐾
