What reviewers found
Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni
- Vacuum Wars: Measured 2.76 kPa suction and 27 CFM airflow, 93% pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap, 158 of 184 on dried stains and 89% carpet deep clean. Coverage was 876 sq ft per charge against a 1,015 sq ft average. Source
- MacRumors: Three months of testing. Long hair did not tangle the brush, mopping and navigation beat the X8 Pro Omni, and Siri control through Matter worked. Thin rugs caused frequent tangles and vacuuming was loud. About 1,000 sq ft per charge. Source
Narwal Freo 20 Edge
- Gadget Flow: Three week home test with a shedding dog. Cleared dried coffee and ketchup on the first pass, reached true corners and kept the brush nearly free of hair. Slowed down on a rug. Source
- EFTM: Measured 49 dB quiet, 52 dB standard, 54 dB strong and 60 dB max. Avoided 3 of 4 obstacles but not fake pet waste, stopped at a drop and got stuck on door tracks. Called the mop its standout feature. Source
