If you’re shopping for a high-end robot vacuum that can truly go the distance, two models stand out: the Roomba Combo j9+ and the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni. Both bring serious power and intelligent features, but their approach to cleaning varies. The Roomba Combo j9+ is iRobot’s flagship 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It features fully retractable mopping pads that lift up when carpet is detected—so you don’t have to worry about wet rugs. Its Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock means hands-free cleaning for up to 60 days, and it maps your home with precision using iRobot OS for custom schedules and room-specific cleans.
On the other hand, the Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni takes the premium experience even further. It boasts a built-in voice assistant, hot water mop washing, and dual rotating mop pads that scrub hard floors with pressure. Its Auto-Empty and Auto-Wash docking station is sleek and ultra-efficient. The Deebot also offers intelligent obstacle avoidance and a deep cleaning mode that targets grime like a pro. While both vacuums handle multi-surface homes effortlessly, the Deebot is slightly more advanced when it comes to mopping tech. If vacuuming is your priority, the Roomba Combo j9+ excels with smarter navigation and a cleaner interface. But if you want the ultimate all-in-one cleaning companion, the T50 Pro Omni may be the better bet.
