In Ecovacs’s lineup, the T series inherits the X series’ new technology a year later.
The Deebot T90 Pro Omni, Ecovacs’s first robot of 2026, has just gone on sale in Vietnam. It carries over nearly everything fundamental from last year’s flagship X11 Pro Omni. What surprised me is that in a few areas it’s actually better, because it picks up Ecovacs’s 2026 upgrades: a longer mopping roller, faster charging, a new anti-tangle main brush, and much stronger suction.
As a result, the T90 Pro Omni delivers day-to-day use that feels no different from the X11 Pro Omni, which costs quite a bit more.
Start with mopping, where robot vacuum brands are putting most of their effort. The T90 Pro Omni uses the same roller mop as the high-end X series, but the roller is 27 cm long, 50% longer than the X11 Pro Omni’s, and spans nearly the full width of the robot.
Aside from the longer roller, everything else about mopping comes straight from the X11 Pro Omni: roller pressure on the floor (3,800 Pa), roller speed (200 rpm), 16 nozzles that spread water evenly, a 15 mm roller lift on carpet, roller washing with 40-75°C hot water, roller drying with 63°C hot air, an extending roller for cleaning right along edges, and automatic mixing of the floor-cleaning solution. One difference is the solution mixing: the T90 Pro Omni has a single tank on the station, not the X11 Pro Omni’s two tanks (one for a strong cleaner and one for a regular cleaner).
In real use, I found the T90 Pro Omni mops about as well as the X11 Pro Omni, and better than the T80 Omni.
I ran the same mopping test I’d done on the X11 Pro Omni and T80 Omni earlier: smearing coffee, chili sauce and ketchup on the floor and leaving it overnight. All three robots removed the coffee in a single pass on deep clean mode. For the chili sauce and ketchup, the T90 Pro Omni and X11 Pro Omni got nearly all of it in one pass, while the T80 Omni left faint streaks of both.
Beyond stain removal, the rest of the mopping experience is also alike on the T90 Pro Omni and X11 Pro Omni. They leave water marks that are even and lighter than robots with spinning mops, and the roller is soaked in 75°C water and dried with hot air, so it stays clean and doesn’t smell.
Like the X11 Pro Omni, the T90 Pro Omni’s app no longer has a mop-only mode like the Deebot X2 Combo did. There are just three options: vacuum only, vacuum and mop, and vacuum then mop. In other words, vacuuming is always on in every mode.
For vacuuming, the T90 Pro Omni has 30,000 Pa of suction, the strongest of any current Ecovacs robot.
From my experience with many robots, 4,000-5,000 Pa from a few years ago was already enough for everyday dust on hard floors. Higher suction helps more with debris in floor gaps and on carpet.
I scattered chip pieces about the size of beans and peanuts on the floor, and the robot had no trouble with them.
The main brush is another change on the vacuuming side, and it’s meant to deal with hair tangling more thoroughly. One end of the brush is fixed and the other is left open, right next to the channel leading to the dust bin. According to Ecovacs, this shapes the airflow so that hair pulled onto the brush is pushed toward the open end and into the robot’s dust bin.
I’ve only used the T90 Pro Omni for a little over a week, and my floor often has long hair on it, but none has wrapped around the brush so far. I also scattered a fair amount of hair about 15 cm long on the floor, and the robot picked it all up with nothing caught on the brush.
The brushes that mix bristles with rubber in a V shape, found on many recent Ecovacs robots, also reduce tangling, but I still had to pull hair off them every few months. The new brush on the T90 Pro Omni needs more time to prove itself, but my first impression is that it will work better.

Ecovacs also says the new main brush makes the robot run quieter than the company’s earlier brushes. In my use it does feel slightly quieter than the X11 Pro Omni and the Deebot X2 Combo I use every day. Measured noise on quiet, standard, max and max+ suction is 53 dB, 56 dB, 60 dB and 65 dB. On the X11 Pro Omni, standard mode was a bit louder at 57 dB.
For navigation and obstacle avoidance, the T90 Pro Omni uses the same hardware platform as its older siblings, the X11 Pro Omni and X11 OmniCyclone: a lidar sensor hidden in the body, an RGB color camera, a structured light sensor and AI. The experience is similar too.
In my 70-square-meter apartment, the robot needed only 4 minutes to finish mapping for cleaning. While cleaning, it steers around things like cups, shoelaces and charging cables on the floor. Notably, in a week of use it never got stuck on my sofa’s iron legs, which have a beveled design. Some other robots I’ve tried have occasionally gotten caught on legs like that.
On the mechanical side, the T90 Pro Omni also keeps the four-wheel mechanical climbing system, which lets it get over obstacles up to 2.4 cm for a single threshold and 4 cm for two thresholds in a row.
The battery is where the T90 Pro Omni is both better and worse than the X11 Pro Omni and X11 OmniCyclone. The improvement is fast charging while the robot goes back to wash its roller, which the company calls PowerBoost. It’s faster than on the older models: the robot gains 10% battery in 3 minutes, compared with 6% on the X11 OmniCyclone.
In real use, I saw the T90 Pro Omni gain 10% in the 3 minutes it spent at the roller-washing station when its battery was at around 80-81% or lower. Above 90%, the fast charging slows down.
The downside compared with the X11 OmniCyclone is a smaller battery: 4,000 mAh versus 6,000 mAh. Still, the faster charging at the washing station can make up for the smaller capacity. In practice, the robot never dropped below 70% after cleaning my whole 70 m² home.
On the software side, the T90 Pro Omni supports Vietnamese voice control, which until now was only on the high-end X11 Pro Omni and X11 OmniCyclone. Before this, Ecovacs robots only gave Vietnamese notifications and took commands in English. It’s an update that shows how much Ecovacs values the Vietnamese market, where it sold 70,000 robots in 2025.
The robot has a built-in microphone for voice commands. You wake the Yiko voice assistant by saying “OK Yiko,” then give basic commands such as starting a cleaning run, pausing, returning to the dock, or making a quick map.
Conclusion
After using both the T90 Pro Omni and the X11 OmniCyclone, I find that the two don’t differ in the basic everyday experience. The clearest difference is that the X11 OmniCyclone’s station and robot body look a little nicer, and it has a distinctive dust bin that doesn’t need disposable dust bags. So on price and performance, I think the Deebot T90 Pro Omni is the better buy.
