Ecovacs Tried to Put On-Device AI at the Center of a Premium Robot Vacuum. The Hardware Still Got in the Way.
Gizmodo’s testing of the $1,500 Deebot X12 OmniCyclone found a machine with strong mopping, quiet operation, and ambitious AI features, but too many practical flaws for its price.
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.
