What Pat’s X12S test actually showed.
Sponsored by ECOVACS. Published 24 September 2026. These observations apply to the tested X12S, not every ECOVACS model or the other products shortlisted above.
| Challenge | Observed result | Buying lesson |
|---|---|---|
| Dried mulberries on a hard floor | A faint streak remained after the first pass; a later spray-and-mop pass removed the visible staining. | A single pass is not a guaranteed stain removal test. |
| Dog fur and sand in carpet | The robot collected the material; no visible fur remained around the brush after this run. | Inspect the roller as well as the cleaned floor. |
| Rice, crumbs and sand at an edge | Most rice was collected, but sand remained in the corner. | Plan for occasional manual corner cleaning. |
This was a household demonstration, not a standardised head-to-head laboratory test. Manufacturer suction figures and guide-match scores are separate from these observations.

Things to consider
What to check before buying.
01Compare the dock
Auto-empty, washing, hot water and drying vary materially.
02Do not mix generations
A discounted old flagship can compete with a newer mid-range model.
03Use Australian pricing
Promotions can collapse the RRP gap.
Product comparison
Compare the guide-qualified products.
The match score measures fit against this guide's published rules (55 baseline points plus up to 42 for matched preferences). Missing prices earn no affordability points. Equal scores mean equal rule matches, not equal tested performance. Prices are dated planning evidence, not live offers.

Scores use recorded catalogue attributes, not measured performance. Budget and premium selections compare remaining brand finalists, so they are alternatives to the overall pick.
