In the rapidly evolving world of robotic vacuum cleaners, ECOVACS' DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI, imported to Israel by Ronlight, represents a major leap forward in convenience and usability. This is a smart, powerful, and highly autonomous cleaning system that offers a comprehensive solution — from vacuuming and mopping to full self-cleaning.

One of the robot's most impressive features is its combination of vacuuming and mopping. It’s not just a device that picks up crumbs, but a system that removes stains and intelligently maintains a damp floor. The vacuuming mechanism includes powerful motors with dual combined suction force, allowing it to pick up fine dust particles, pet hair, and even relatively heavy dirt. Mopping is handled by a damp cloth that is automatically cleaned and dried in the docking station, ensuring consistent results and preventing unpleasant odors or bacterial buildup.

A standout innovation of this vacuum-mop is its multifunctional docking station. This is not just a simple charging base, but a supportive system that automatically empties the dustbin, cleans the mop pads, refills clean water for the next wash, and even dries the mop cloths to prevent mold. The result is minimal routine maintenance — just empty the station’s large dust container and refill the water every month or two, and you're set.

For navigation around the home, the robot uses laser-based LiDAR technology, which scans the entire house in real time and generates a precise cleaning map. You can define no-go zones, set a cleaning order by room, and even select different suction and mopping intensities as needed. The system detects small objects like shoes, toys, or power cords and intelligently avoids them without getting stuck or requiring manual intervention.

The ECOVACS app, which fully supports Hebrew, is one of the most user-friendly on the market. It allows you to view your home's map, track the vacuum’s real-time location, set schedules, check cleaning history, adjust technical settings, and remotely operate the docking station. Additionally, it integrates with voice assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa, so you can activate the robot by voice — even from the couch.

One common complaint about robotic vacuums is the noise they produce, especially during dustbin emptying or operation on bare floors. Here, the DEEBOT is noticeably quieter than its competitors, even during self-emptying. You can run it in the evening without worrying about disturbing the kids’ sleep or interrupting a Zoom meeting.
