- Which is better for carpets and pet hair?
- The Deebot X11 OmniCyclone. Its 19,500Pa suction and ZeroTangle 3.0 brush handle embedded pet hair better, and reviewers single out pet hair as a strength. The C28 is rated for pets too, but with 15,000Pa it has less pull.
- Is the X11 worth $169 more than the C28?
- Yes if you have carpets, pets or a large floor plan. You get more suction, up to 254 minutes of runtime, a bagless station and voice control. If you mostly mop hard floors and want to spend less, the C28 covers the basics.
- Do either of them need dust bags?
- Only the C28. It empties into a 3L bag that lasts up to 75 days, so you buy replacements. The X11's OmniCyclone station is bagless and empties into a 1.6L bin you tip out.
- Which mops better?
- The X11 scrubs with a 200rpm nylon roller and washes it with 75°C hot water. The C28 uses a self-cleaning roller mop dried at 95-122°F. The X11's faster scrub and hotter wash give it the edge on stuck-on messes.
- How long does the battery last?
- Ecovacs rates the X11 at up to 254 minutes and 1,000㎡ per charge, with 6% charge in 3 minutes. eufy does not publish a runtime for the C28.
- Which is easier to live with?
- Both self-empty and self-clean, so day-to-day effort is similar. The X11 is heavier at 5,262g and its 230V dock needs the right outlet. The C28 is lighter at 2 lb but adds bag purchases.
