In recent years, everyone's attitude towards sweeping robots has changed a lot, and more and more consumers have begun to accept this hands-free cleaning artifact. The reason why this is the case is because major brands are constantly breaking through innovation, empowering products through more advanced technologies to bring users a better experience. In order to help users better understand the robot vacuum cleaner and choose the right products for themselves, we have also evaluated a number of products on the market. Among many brands, Ecovacs' products, especially the X series, which has been integrating innovative technology and user experience and full of product flagship attributes, have left a deep impression on us every time.
We also got the product for the first time, and then we will go through a series of tests to verify whether it really has no shortcomings!
1. Actual measurement of cleaning power: constant welt, no hair, full grid cleaning is more material
With the increasing popularity of sweeping robots, I believe that more and more friends have experienced the convenience brought to us by sweeping robots in daily cleaning, but some areas are not clean, dead corners are not cleaned in place, and the pain points such as roller brushes are often entangled with hair have not been completely solved, and there is still a distance from the hands-free that users really want.
In response to these problems, Ecovacs took the lead in changing the shape of the fuselage, and the previous generation X2 strengthened the cleaning effect of the right-angle bend position through the square fuselage design, reducing the problems of insufficient cleaning of dead corners. This time, DEEBOT X5 PRO is based on the square body, with the unique TruEdge™ ™ double-constant welt technology and ZeroTangle™ ™ double-comb anti-winding technology PRO built-in, which further realizes the hands-free household cleaning experience.
So, how does DEEBOT X5 PRO actually perform in terms of cleaning? We've also prepared some quizzes.
Whether we are marching on the edge of the wall, the leg edge of the table, chair and bench, or placing a certain special-shaped surface with cans in the venue, no matter whether the space is enough or not, we can observe that DEEBOT X5 PRO's small mop will automatically stretch out for welt cleaning, and the welt distance is less than 1 mm, which almost achieves the effect of seamless cleaning, effectively solving the problems of traditional sweeping robots not enough welt and missing sweeping, and occasionally requiring human intervention. And thanks to the 9.5cm ultra-thin body design, it can enter the bottom of the bed, the bottom of the sofa and other low areas for double-constant welt cleaning, truly realizing the cleaning without dead ends.

It can be said that Ecovacs, which has always been oriented to user needs, has upgraded DEEBOT X5 PRO first of all in terms of the most practical welt cleaning ability. In addition to the square design of the front of the DEEBOT X5 PRO fuselage has the advantage of natural welting, which can achieve the long-side brush to the edge and fit the corner edge in real time, it also benefits from its built-in unique TruEdge™ double-constant ™ welt technology, which is the biggest difference between this technology and the expansion design of the robotic arm of other brands in the industry is that Ecovacs can achieve the normal expansion of the mop, and the stepless hovering mop disc adaptively and flexibly expands and contracts when encountering obstacles, and can automatically "reach out" to wipe the corners like a person. It does not need to detect wall corners and furniture obstructions, making it easier to cover complex corners such as table and chair legs, improving cleaning coverage and further reducing cleaning dead spots.
Flexible telescopic
In addition, if the main brush of the sweeper is entangled by hair, it will not only reduce the cleaning efficiency, but also cause the main roller brush to be damaged prematurely, in order to verify the DEEBOT X5 PRO anti-tangle function, we also placed the hair in front of the machine for cleaning test.
It can be seen that relying on the new ZeroTangle™ double ™ comb tooth anti-winding technology PRO, 20cm ultra-long V-shaped spiral roller brush and double comb tooth dislocation cavity design, DEEBOT X5 PRO Even if a large number of hairs are cleaned, the hair can be directly sucked into the dust box after being combed and straightened out by the teeth, so that the part of the roller brush is still kept clean, and there is no need to regularly use a blade to cut off the hair during daily use. The built-in blade of the roller brush may cut the pet's tail, and short/concentrated hairs still miss the sweep, which is more worry-free and safer to use while improving cleaning efficiency.
Of course, whether the sweeping robot can clean the ground is the most important thing. We prepared some steel balls for verification, due to the heavier weight of the steel balls, it is difficult to be absorbed when they are gathered together, but under the 12800Pa suction power and direct ventilation channel design upgraded to DEEBOT X5 PRO, these steel balls are also no different from ordinary dust, and they are easily collected into the dust box.
We also used ketchup and melon seed shells to simulate the dirt on the ground, and you can see that DEEBOT X5 PRO has cleaned most of the stains after walking through it, and it is completely cleaned after going back and forth, and there is no trace of oil stains at all.
二、避障实测：PanoSense 5D五维超感 精准感知环境
Not only the cleaning ability, but also the obstacle avoidance performance of the product, the better the obstacle avoidance, then the daily cleaning process can reduce the collision of the furniture, bring a better cleaning experience. However, in actual use, the ground at home cannot always be kept clean and tidy, and it is often necessary to tidy up the ground in advance, or manual intervention in the process of product sweeping and mopping, which also makes many people jokingly call the sweeping robot "artificial intellectual disability".
This time, DEEBOT X5 PRO has upgraded with more powerful active obstacle avoidance capabilities, the new PanoSense 5D five-dimensional super sensing system, with self-developed dToF radar, to achieve millimeter-level mapping accuracy and panoramic perception, which can achieve 1:1 restoration of the home environment. After our actual test, DEEBOT X5 PRO's mapping performance can be described as fast and accurate, and it can accurately identify furniture and obstacles.
At the same time, it not only changes the traditional radar located on the top of the fuselage to an embedded design, but also relies on the cooperation of a series of obstacle avoidance sensors such as two sets of single-transmitter and double-retract edge sensors, 3D structured light, panoramic dToF lidar and downward-looking ultrasonic sensors on one side of the fuselage to achieve frontal panoramic perception. In the actual test, we also put the can as an obstacle to place, it can easily go around, shuttle in it at the same time, as close as possible to the obstacle to clean, there will be no impact, in situ circle, after the obstruction to give up cleaning and the like, a good way to reduce the problem of cleaning dead ends caused by obstacle avoidance, for the ground debris more friendly to the family.
In addition to excellent obstacle avoidance ability, DEEBOT X5 PRO also has an extremely powerful obstacle crossing ability, we place a wooden bar it can easily breathe a sigh of relief without pause, which also means that even if the home is equipped with thresholds and slide rails, there is no need to worry about it not being able to enter. In addition, for the floor with carpets, this product is designed with a mop lifting function, which will automatically match the cleaning mode when the carpet is recognized, and the height of the 15mm mop is more ideal, even if it is a long pile carpet, there is no need to worry.

It is worth mentioning that DEEBOT X5 PRO has upgraded the AINA2.0 model, and is equipped with an autopilot-grade chip with 5TOPS computing power, so that the integration of deep learning and reinforcement learning can be further expanded, making the path more accurate, and at the same time, it can perceive dynamic environmental changes in real time, dynamically avoid obstacles, truly achieve efficient cleaning, refuse to miss scanning, and further unlock a new experience of intelligent cleaning.
3. Interactive experience: smarter voice assistant and better user interface
As the pioneer of intelligent voice, Ecovacs has been unanimously affirmed and recognized by users after several years of popularization. However, most of the sweeping robots with voice control on the market can only understand some single instructions, such as starting to clean, cleaning the kitchen, increasing suction, mopping the living room, starting to collect dust, etc., there is still a certain distance from the real intelligent interaction that users want.
This time, Ecovacs relies on the self-developed 7 billion parameter large language model dedicated to service robots to upgrade YIKO voice to 2.0, which can accurately understand and execute your instructions without referring to the language template.
For example, if we say "OK, YKO, stop sweeping", "OK, YIKO, be quiet", DEEBOT X5 PRO will "OK, stop working, return to the base station" and "Okay, I'll lower the suction", or even if I tell it "OK, YIKO, I'm back", it can also "OK, let me see where you are", and come to my location, turn on the large amount of water and large suction to clean this area.

It can be said that with the blessing of YIKO voice 2.0 and many black technologies, DEEBOT X5 PRO's performance is getting closer and closer to real people, more humane, and becoming a more understanding of your existence in family life.
Not only that, we can also customize the 2D/3D map on the APP, customize your multi-scene cleaning plan, for example, the kitchen is a tile floor to mop twice, the living room wooden floor to mop once, and then with the Dynamic Island, desktop widgets, Apple Watch, etc., can bring a more convenient interactive experience.
Fourth, the design of the base station: the function is fully upgraded, and the new experience of freeing your hands is born
Of course, in addition to the machine itself, the strength of the base station is also very important.
DEEBOT X5 PRO is equipped with a decathlon base station, after the cleaning is completed, DEEBOT X5 PRO will return to the base station, the collected dust will be automatically collected into the dust bag, no need to dump the dust box frequently, the mop will also be self-cleaning, through 70 degrees Celsius live water to efficiently remove the stains on the mop, with silver ion sterilization and hot air drying, it can effectively avoid bacterial breeding, and the cleaning tank is designed to be taken out as a whole, which is very convenient to clean.
It also upgrades the filtration structure of the cleaning tank, which can be ultra-long and maintenance-free, theoretically speaking, it can be cleaned once every 150 days, which greatly reduces the frequency and degree of manual intervention, and truly frees your hands.
5. Summary
As the latest work of the "X" series, the X5 PRO brings together many of the latest black technologies of Ecovacs, and realizes full coverage of household cleaning with more extreme cleaning power, more intelligent cleaning experience and more worry-free operation, so as to achieve fewer cleaning dead corners, no brushes, more sensitive obstacle avoidance, and simpler use, bringing us a unique cleaning experience while once again refreshing the new standard of high-end flagships in the industry.
We have also participated in the evaluation of every Ecovacs X series product, from X1S PRO, X2, COMBO and X2S, as well as the current X5 PRO, Ecovacs X series from round design to square design, from three-rotation mop to Linggap constant welt technology, from the first two-in-one realization of automatic dust collection and automatic cleaning mop function to the base station decathlon, all of which demonstrate Ecovacs' forward-looking user insight, perfect technical layout research and development and strong innovation.
At the same time, through this product, we can see that Ecovacs, which is at the forefront of the industry, has always adhered to the innovation of focusing on user needs, and strives to explore how to bring better products and better user experience to users, leading the arrival of a new era of intelligent cleaning.
