Ecovacs expands home-robotics range with new outdoor and specialised cleaning robots at IFA 2026

Ecovacs showcased a new range of intelligent indoor and outdoor robots at IFA 2026, aiming to revolutionise domestic chores beyond vacuuming, including window cleaning and garden care, as it plans to serve 38 million households globally.

ECOVACS has used IFA 2026 to push its home-robotics range further beyond simple vacuuming, presenting a line-up that now covers floor cleaning, window washing and future garden and pool care. The company said the new products reflect its aim of reducing the amount of routine work consumers have to do themselves, while also signalling a broader move into connected household automation. ECOVACS also said it now serves 38 million households in nearly 180 markets, and that its launch in the UK and Ireland earlier this year marked an important step in its expansion.

At the centre of the announcement is the DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone, a premium model that combines strong suction with the AGENT YIKO 3.0 AI assistant. According to ECOVACS, the robot can help users set cleaning routines around daily habits, while its bagless auto-empty station is designed to cut running costs and reduce contact with dust and allergens. The model will cost £1,199 in the UK and is due to go on sale on 9 September.

The company is also targeting buyers who want advanced cleaning without paying top-tier prices. The DEEBOT T90S PRO OMNI pairs a self-cleaning roller mop with 40,000 Pa of suction and hygiene features intended to limit residue and odours. A second model, the T90 MAX PRO OMNI, keeps the same suction level but uses a slimmer 95mm body to reach under furniture more easily. ECOVACS says both machines use its OZMO Roller 3.0 mopping system, upgraded AI navigation and self-cleaning OMNI stations. The T90S PRO OMNI will cost £699 and arrive on 24 September, while the T90 MAX PRO OMNI is priced at £549 and is due on 9 September.

Window cleaning is another part of the company’s push into more specialised domestic chores. The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is designed to clean both edges and the main glass surface, using TruEdge 2.0, three spray nozzles and WIN-SLAM 4.0 navigation. ECOVACS says the system can clean up to 75 square metres per fill and includes 12-step protection. It will retail at £529 and also goes on sale on 9 September through Amazon, Argos, Currys and Very.

The wider launch places ECOVACS in an increasingly crowded premium robotics market. Roborock also used IFA 2026 to show its Saros 20 series, including models with 36,000 Pa suction, obstacle-handling chassis technology and 3D object recognition, underlining how quickly robot cleaners are becoming more capable and more specialised. ECOVACS, meanwhile, is already looking beyond the home: it previewed a GOAT T-Series lawnmower and an ULTRAMARINE L1 PRO pool-cleaning robot for 2027, suggesting its next phase will be defined as much by outdoor automation as by floor care inside the house.
