BERLIN, Sept. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- At IFA 2026, robotic vacuum cleaner pioneer ECOVACS debuted the latest iteration of its signature OZMO ROLLER technology, OZMO ROLLER 3.0, featured in the new DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone. This marks a significant advancement in the company’s roller-mopping category, which it has helped define since 2024 with the introduction of OZMO ROLLER on the DEEBOT X8 series.
ECOVACS first introduced OZMO ROLLER to bring the continuous clean-water circulation principle of floor washers into robotic vacuum cleaners. By the end of July 2026, the company had shipped over 2.8 million units equipped with the technology, reflecting its widespread adoption and market success. ECOVACS attributes this success to a continuous focus on solving real-world user challenges, driving innovations that enhance cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
The OZMO ROLLER 3.0 builds upon the previous generations, refining the water and mechanical systems to deliver a more efficient and effective cleaning process. The new roller is designed to improve cleaning efficiency, with a longer design that reduces the need for user intervention. Additionally, the μm-level microfiber roller helps minimize water residue after cleaning, ensuring a cleaner finish.
According to ECOVACS, the fundamental advantage of a roller over conventional mop pads is the continuous cleaning surface. Unlike static mop pads, the OZMO ROLLER continuously cleans itself during operation, delivering fresh water to the roller before it reaches the floor. This process helps maintain effective contact between the roller and the floor, reducing the risk of dirt redistribution. The company claims this results in more consistent contact with a cleaner mopping surface from start to finish.
OZMO ROLLER 2.0 on the DEEBOT X11 already addressed more demanding cleaning scenarios with a high-density nylon mop and AI Stain Detection 2.0. These features help the robot adjust its cleaning strategies according to the type and severity of stains, ensuring a thorough clean even in challenging environments. The TruEdge 3.0 system further enhances the robot’s ability to clean closer to walls and obstacles, reducing missed areas along edges and corners.
ECOVACS emphasizes that OZMO ROLLER 3.0 is part of a broader commitment to advancing the roller-mopping category. The company’s capabilities in robotics, sensing, algorithms, core components, and intelligent manufacturing enable it to develop the robotic system around the cleaning task as a whole. With more than 3,100 patents and over RMB 5.2 billion invested in R&D since 2018, ECOVACS continues to innovate and refine its technology to deliver better cleaning experiences.
ECOVACS ROBOTICS, a global leader in home service robotics, has been expanding its portfolio to include robotic vacuum cleaners, robotic window cleaners, robotic lawn mowers, commercial cleaning robots, robotic pool cleaners, and robotic pet companions. This diversification underscores the company’s commitment to advancing technology and enhancing the user experience to make life smarter and more stylish for consumers worldwide.
As ECOVACS continues to push the boundaries of robotic floor cleaning, the company is setting a higher standard for roller-mopping technology. With OZMO ROLLER 3.0, ECOVACS is bringing the benefits of a continuously refreshed cleaning surface to more homes, ensuring that the mop does not become dirtier as it cleans.
