Overview
- Recent German tests find both the Xiaomi H50 Pro and Ecovacs Deebot T80 Omni use multi‑function docks that empty dust, wash cleaning elements and dry them to cut manual upkeep.
- Ecovacs’ T80 Omni stood out for mopping: its roller system plus a station wash at about 75 °C and active drying removed dried stains more reliably than cloth‑style pads.
- Xiaomi’s H50 Pro delivers strong suction and quiet operation with 15,000 Pa reported and a 93.9 g pickup in a 100 g stress test while positioned at roughly €499, but its rotating mop pads left visible streaks on sensitive floors.
- Both models use LiDAR for precise mapping and systematic cleaning but still miss or push small objects such as glasses, shoes or toy‑size items, showing limits in obstacle detection.
- Apps, zone scheduling and voice control are standard on both devices and the tests underline a market trend toward self‑maintaining mid‑range robots that trade off improved hygiene and autonomy against remaining mopping and small‑object detection compromises.
