Once the dirt is softened, the OmniCyclone's extra-long mop scrubs it away Ecovacs, maker of some of the best robot vacuums we've tested here at TechRadar, has just launched a new flagship model designed to tackle particularly tough dried-on stains that most robovacs would fail to clean.

The Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone uses infrared and camera-based detection
to identify particularly tough stains like muddy pawprints and spilled juice that you may not have even noticed before they dried. It pre-treats them
using high-pressure water jets to soften them, then uses its roller mop to scrub them away. The extra-long mop is rinsed with fresh water throughout cleaning to avoid spreading dirt or creating streaks. It won't make your carpets wet either; when moving off a hard floor, the OmniCyclone automatically raises and covers its mop head to keep everything dry.

safe distance from obstacles like pets and charging cables, and furniture.

After it's finished cleaning, the OmniCyclone's dock will handle messy jobs including washing and drying the mop, emptying debris, and managing cleaning solution automatically. It also has a fast-charging system called PowerBoost, which means it's ready to start cleaning again faster than other wet-dry robovacs.

The OmniCyclone is on sale now for $1,499 (about 1,100 / AU$2,100) direct
from Ecovacs and from Amazon . We'll be testing it soon to see how it
compares with rivals from the likes of Roborock and Dreame, so stick with TechRadar to find out whether the OmniCyclone can scrub its way to first place. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to
