Ecovacs launched the second generation of its top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop at CES 2026 this week. The Deebot X12 OmniCyclone is the follow-up to the $1,500 X11, which launched at IFA in September 2025. Yes, just three months ago.
The X12 keeps the same overall design of the X11, including the handy bagless dust bin in the multifunction dock, but adds a stain pretreat feature, a longer roller mop, and a smart cover for the mop to protect your carpets from getting damp. No other specs, pricing, or a release date have been announced yet.
The midrange line also got an upgrade with the launch of the T90 Pro Omni, an upgrade from the T80 Omni. The new model adds PowerBoost Charging from the X line, which lets the robot charge whenever it goes back to the base to clean itself, helping it finish the job faster.
The company also announced its first robotic pool cleaner, the Ultramarine, and an emotional companion robot called LilMilo. The latter is a robotic dog that uses AI and “lifelike biometrics” to recognize voices, adapt to user habits, and develop a personality, according to a press release from Ecovacs.
The company said the new category additions to its lineup are part of its mission “to create a whole-home robotics ecosystem.” It also announced updates to its GOAT robot mower line and Winbot W3 Omni window-washing robot, putting it well on its way to filling up your home with an awful lot of robots.
