The process of home cleaning can take a lot of time and be boring, which is why scientists have invented automated solutions to make your life easier and more fun. Robot cleaners are the latest achievements for bare floor and carpet cleaning with remote control functions.
You can see many solutions on the market with different levels of smart functions, performance results, and functionality. There are three major types of robots – vacuuming, mopping, and combo.
This article compares two best-sellers from ECOVACS and iRobot – Deebot X1 OMNI vs. Roomba S9+. One robot can only vacuum, and another one is a combo. Going through the article, you can see their pros and cons and choose the best one for you.
Deebot X1 OMNI vs. Roomba S9+ Face-to-Face Comparison
The Deebot X1 OMNI comes in a unique award-winning JACOB JENSEN design of a robot vacuum cleaner. Its package consists of two items – a round-shaped vacuum cleaner with an OMNI station.
The robot’s weight is 9.7 lbs, and the station is 53.8 lbs. The robot has a slim design – 14.2*14.2*4.1 inches. When the station is significantly bigger – 21*19.1*25.3 inches. It is grey and black.
The Roomba S9+ comes in a patented D-shape design of robot cleaner and with a square Self-Emptying Clean Base. The robot’s weight is 8.15 lbs, while the Clean base is relatively heavier – 18.35 lbs.
The robot dimensions are even slimmer – 12.25*12.25*3.5 inches, as well as the Clean Base – 11.49*14.93*19.02 inches. The Roomba S9+ has a unique combination of colors – black and gold.
The Roomba S9+ and Deebot X1 OMNI have the robot and the automatic dust collection systems in the package. But Roomba S9+ is slimmer, and its Self-Emptying Clean base is significantly smaller and lighter. So, Roomba S9+ is the winner.
The Deebot X1 OMNI is a vacuum and mop combo robot, providing a new level of cleaning. The cleaning sequence starts with vacuuming; after that, DEEBOT goes back to the 15-in-1 OMNI station to automatically empty the dustbin in a 3L dust bag with strong suction of 21 kPa in 10 seconds.
Then the robot is refilled, if required, from the 4L clean water tank of OMNI station and starts mopping. After mopping the robot automatically washes its mop heads and rapidly dries them with hot air for 2 hours preventing bacteria and odor formation.
Finally, the dirty water is collected in a 4 L waste water tank. During all operations on the station, the Deebot robot is charging.
The Roomba S9+ performs only excellent vacuuming with a superior 3-stage cleaning system consisting of dust and pet hair lifting, loosening, and elimination from the hard floor and carpets.
The robot is automatically emptied after vacuuming in the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal. This Unit also performs as a charging dock for the robot. Roomba suggests using the Braava M6 jet if you need a mopping robot.
This robot mop using the new Imprint Link Technology works in perfect sequence with Roomba S9+, mopping after vacuuming.
The Deebot X OMNI is the winner as it has both functions – vacuum and mop. The Roomba S9+ can only vacuum, for mopping you need to buy a separate mop robot.
The Deebot X1 OMNI is one of the most powerful robots on the market. With such high suction power in 5000 Pa, it quickly picks up dirt and pet hair from hard floors and carpets.
The robot has sensors for ultrasonic detection of carpets, but the suction level can only be manually adjusted from the smartphone application. It has two modes of suction – Standard and Silent.
The Roomba S9+ is designed as the most potent Roomba model. It has 40 times higher suction than the standard 600 series (about 500 Pa).
In addition, the maximum suction is performed within seconds on carpets with Boost technology.
Even though there is no specific value of suction power for Roomba S9+, it performed higher suction power in the tests. Also, it has boost technology for deeper carpet cleaning, while the Deebot does not have this function and keeps constant the maximum value, quickly sucking the battery. So, we call Roomba S9+ the winner in this comparison.
The Deebot is designed with OZMO Turbo 2.0 Rotating Mopping System, which makes two mopping pads rotate up to 180 times per minute for spotless cleaning.
Considering that the water tank can be automatically refilled from the 4 L clean water tank of OMNI station as it is equipped with a low water alert sensor, the total mopping area is 360 m2.
The noise level of the robot during mopping is only 65 dBA. The robot does not mop the carpets, which are automatically detected.
The Roomba S9+ has no mopping performance.
There is no choice in this comparison of Deebot X1 OMNI vs. Roomba S9+, as Deebot is the only mopping robot here and is the winner.
The Deebot robot is a smart robot designed with the latest technologies.
AVI 3D technology uses artificial intelligence and an autopilot RGB camera to detect obstacles and establish ultra-precise avoidance.
This system detects objects more than 2 inches in height, even in the dark.
The Roomba S9+ has a next-level navigation that uses 230.400 data points for full coverage. It uses 3D sensors to detect objects taller than 2.5 inches and clean around them.
Dirt Detect Technology navigates the robot to the dirtiest places for priority cleaning.
Advanced sensors also navigate the Roomba to optimize corners and edges cleaning.
The Roomba S9+ is an outstanding robot with many smart technologies allowing it to clean the mess immediately when it happens, including edges. But the Deebot robot is also good, especially in detecting obstacles.
With the TrueMapping 2.0 Laser technology X1 OMNI creates optimal maps with fewer missed spots and saves them for quick navigation.
The Deebot creates customized 3D maps 10 times faster and 4 times more accurate than a standard robot.
In addition, you can edit maps in the smartphone application.
Imprint Smart Mapping technology allows Roomba S9+ constantly learn and adapt to mapping your house.
The robot creates maps with the optimal orientation of each room for effective cleaning.
All maps can be customized in iRobot Home, where you can label them, set Keep Out Zones, and define where to clean and when.
It is impossible to find a winner; both robots have excellent technologies to create smart maps for cleaning.
The Deebot X1 OMNI has three filters in the dust box – filter net, sponge, and auto-seal high-efficiency washable filter. The filter level reaches the F9 level.
The main washable filter is made with deep filtration technology and is eco-friendly and reusable. They capture 99.97% of dust particles.
The Roomba S9+ has a high-efficiency filter that keeps up to 99% of pet allergens.
This filter consists of 2 layers of met-blown fiber and 2-layers of non-woven fabrics.
Similar capture ability makes this technical parameter almost identical for two robots. There is no winner here as well.
The Deebot X1 OMNI goes with one standard floating round main brush and 2 side brushes in the corners. The side brushes are standard as well, with three rays of small brushes at a 60-degree angle.
The robot is designed with a tangle detection sensor, so in such cases, the brushes will stop moving, and the robot will stop.
For mopping, the robot is equipped with 2 mopping pads. The package also has one cleaning brush and a multi-function cleaning tool.
The Roomba S9+ goes with two rubber multi-surface brushes that do not tangle with pet hair, adjust to different types of floor and are 30% wider than previous Roomba models.
Also, it is equipped with one unique Corner brush with five small 30 mm brushes at a 26 degree to sweep along wall edges.
The Roomba S9 is the winner here, thanks to its unique corner brush and dual rubber brushes preventing tangling. But the Deebot is equipped with good but standard brushes. Moreover, no cleaning tools are included in the package with the Roomba as for the Deebot.
The Deebot X1 OMNI has a dust box detection with 0.4 L capacity. The robot is equipped with a dust box detection sensor and full bin sensor and will not start cleaning if it is not installed or is full of dust.
In addition, the OMNI station has a disposable dust bag for auto-emptying the box with a capacity of 3.0 L; it can keep the dust for up to 60 days.
So, when the bin is full, the Deebot automatically goes to the OMNI station and resumes after emptying.
The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal allows working the Roomba S9+ with automatic emptying of the built-in 0.45 L dustbin container for 60 days as well.
The package includes two disposable bags (1 extra) for this unit.
The dustbin container is equipped with a full bin sensor; when it is full, the red indicator is illuminated or blinking.
Both smart robots can keep the dust in the Automatic Empty stations for 60 days and have built-in containers of 0.4-0.45 L capacity. So, the parameters are even, and there is no winner here.
The Deebot X OMNI supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so there are a lot of smart features for remote control and automatic work: ECOVACS HOME smartphone application, Alexa and Google Assistant support, and own patented YIKO voice command system.
Moreover, the robot has a real-time camera, and you can activate live monitoring of your pets and home with two-way audio (no recording is provided to transfer to Third Parties, and total privacy is ensured).
In addition, smartphone applications perform remote control, scheduling, customizing maps, and setting no-go zones.
The S9+ is the most intelligent Roomba robot with control from the iRobot Home App and Google Assistant Alexa voice assistants.
The software is constantly updating and you will always have the latest achievements. In addition, the Roomba has an intelligent OS that proposes extra cleaning based on your schedules or pet shedding season.
In the app, you can set schedules and no-go zones or set an automatic feature to clean while you are away (determined by the geolocation of your smartphone).
The smart features are very close to each other for these robots, except for two unique features. While the Deebot X1 OMNI has its voice command system, the Roomba S9+ has a clean when-you-are-away feature. So, you should choose the robot that is important to you, as there is no winner here.
The Deebot has an impressive Li-ion battery capacity of 5200 mAh with 8 cells. The charge time to full capacity is 6.5 hours, designed with automatic recharge and resume functions.
When the robot vacuums, the runtime is 260 minutes in the silent mode and 195 minutes in the standard more (less than 66 dB(A).
And when the robot mops, the runtime is 170 minutes in the silent mode and 145 minutes in the standard more (less than 68 dB(A).
The Roomba is equipped with a Li-ion battery with 3300 mAh that ensures 120 minutes per cleaning cycle.
To extend this time, the robot has the function of automatic recharge and resume.
The expected charging time is about 4 hours.
