Ecovacs Tried to Put On-Device AI at the Center of a Premium Robot Vacuum. The Hardware Still Got in the Way.
Key Takeaways
- The $1,500 X12 adds a mop shield and on-device AI to a design closely related to the earlier X11 OmniCyclone.
- Gizmodo praised the robot’s mopping, quiet operation, battery life, charging speed, and app usability.
- The review found poor object avoidance, hard bumps into furniture, clog-prone dust handling, and too many issues for the price.
