Ecovacs X11 Pro Omni First Four-Wheel Drive Robot Vacuum

Ecovacs debuts four-wheel drive robot vacuum at IFA 2025

At IFA 2025 Ecovacs unveiled the Deebot X11 Pro Omnicyclone, or X11 Pro Omni, a robot vacuum built to handle homes with significant thresholds and obstacles. Unlike the typical two-driven-wheel design, the X11 Pro Omni uses four-wheel/all-wheel drive to climb thresholds up to 1.6 inches and keep moving where other robots stall.

Most robot vacuums rely on two rear-drive wheels with a front caster. That’s fine for smooth floors but a nightmare in older homes or apartments with raised transitions. The X11 Pro Omni flips that script: by powering four wheels it gains traction and stability similar to AWD robot lawn mowers, letting it tackle steeper thresholds and uneven surfaces.

Early hands-on testing has been encouraging. PCMag’s reviewer reported that the X11 Pro Omni avoided getting stuck across the thresholds in his home, mapped efficiently, and picked up litter and pet hair without tangles. In short: the four-wheel setup materially reduced one of the most common pain points for real-world users.

Ecovacs also added GaN fast-charging technology to the dock. GaN is well-known in phones and laptops for faster power delivery in smaller packages. Ecovacs says that should let the X11 Pro Omni replenish battery quickly during short base stops—like when the robot pauses to rinse a mop—so it can resume a long vacuum-and-mop cycle with less downtime.

On cleaning hardware the X11 Pro Omni includes the Ozmo Roller Brush 2.0, which targets stubborn stains better than spinning mopping pads, improved edge cleaning, and a base station that can empty the dustbin and sanitize the robot between runs. Those are expected features at this tier, now combined with the new mobility and faster charging.

The robot runs Ecovacs’ on-device AI assistant that adapts to habits and supports Matter, Apple Home and Google Home integrations. That makes it easier to fold into smart-home automations—especially useful when using charging cycles strategically to minimize total cleaning time for a multi-room home.

Availability: Ecovacs began selling the X11 Pro Omni in the U.S. on Sept. 4 for about $1,500, with early discounts bringing it nearer to $1,300. That price positions it as a premium, problem-solving device for homes with challenging layouts.

Why this matters: if you’ve moved into a place with tall door thresholds, layered flooring, or constant stuck-robot interruptions, AWD and faster recharge change the cleaning equation. Instead of scheduling long charge pauses, the X11 Pro Omni aims to finish continuous vacuum-plus-mop runs with fewer interruptions and fewer manual rescues.

Key benefits to expect:

• Higher obstacle clearance and fewer stuck episodes on raised thresholds.
• Improved traction and stability on uneven floors and transitions.
• Faster battery top-ups via GaN-enabled dock for more continuous cleaning.
• Better mopping performance with the Ozmo Roller Brush 2.0 and smarter rinse cycles.

For product teams and smart-home integrators, this is a reminder that mobility innovations—like AWD—can unlock performance gains as much as sensors or mapping tweaks. For consumers, it suggests a new buying calculus: pay more for fewer rescues and faster end-to-end cycles in tricky homes.

At QuarkyByte we analyze how hardware changes affect real-world outcomes—uptime, completion rates, and total cleaning time. If your organization needs a data-driven assessment of how AWD and fast charging will perform in your spaces, we can model scenarios and provide deployment guidance to reduce manual intervention and speed ROI.
