Summary
Redesigned air intake system delivers excellent carpet vacuuming, and PCMag specifically recommends it for mostly carpeted homes with heavy pet shedding. The roller mop cleans itself as it works.
PCMag calls it the best 2-in-1 robot mop and vacuum under $300, and it can even self-empty its dustbin — a rare feature at this price. Solid pet hair performance without the flagship price tag.
Pros
- Redesigned air intake system optimized for deep carpet cleaning
- Self-cleaning roller mop that washes itself during operation
- Explicitly recommended by PCMag for mostly carpeted homes
- Excellent overall vacuum performance in lab and real-home testing
- Best 2-in-1 vacuum and mop under $300 per PCMag testing
- Self-emptying dustbin at a mid-range price point
- Compact design cleans under low-profile furniture
- Good all-around performance on both hard floors and carpets
Cons
- Top-dollar price — one of the most expensive options available
- Heavier and bulkier than some competitors
- Overkill for homes with mostly hard floors
- Not as powerful as flagship models for deeply embedded carpet hair
- Mop performance lags behind premium self-washing dock models
- Fewer smart features and obstacle avoidance than top-tier options
Our take
If your home is mostly carpet and you have a heavy shedder, the X9 edges out the X8 — the redesigned intake system makes a real difference on thick pile.
For most pet owners who don't want to spend $1,000+, this is the sweet spot — you get self-emptying and solid mopping at a fraction of flagship cost.
