Data from the official Ecovacs and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
Between a vacuum-only lifter and a full vacuum-and-mop flagship, the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is the stronger buy of this pair, mainly because the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty never mops at all.
The DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni adds a self-washing, self-drying roller mop, a longer 200 minute battery and the better owner rating, all through an OMNI station that also empties its bin. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty counters with NeverStuck lifting that climbs thresholds and rug edges without getting stranded, a lower price, and a documented Home Assistant integration the Ecovacs listing does not confirm. Both robots use LiDAR-based navigation and empty their own dustbin at the dock. Buyers who want vacuuming and mopping handled together should choose the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni; buyers who only need a vacuum, especially in a home full of thresholds and rug edges, should look at the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty.

What the differences mean
Mopping
The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni mops with a self-rinsing OZMO roller that the OMNI station washes in hot water and dries with hot air; the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty has no mopping hardware at all, so hard floors still need a separate mop.
Getting past thresholds and rug edges
NeverStuck lets the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty lift itself over thresholds and rug corners instead of getting stranded, a specific fix the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni does not document.
Battery life
The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is rated for 200 minutes against the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty's 110, so it covers a bigger home before needing to dock.
Home Assistant
The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty has an official Home Assistant integration that polls its cloud account; Home Assistant support is not documented for the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni.
Which one to buy if
- you want vacuuming and mopping handled by one machine
Only the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni mops, with a roller the station washes and dries on its own.
- your floors are full of thresholds, rugs or door sills
NeverStuck lifting is built for exactly this, and it is a feature the Ecovacs does not have.
- you specifically want Home Assistant support today
The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty has an official integration; Home Assistant is not documented for the Ecovacs.
- your home is large and you want fewer charging stops
At 200 minutes against 110, the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni covers far more floor per charge.

What owners say
Owners of both robots single out how little they end up touching the bin, but for different reasons. Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni owners describe the OZMO roller mop scrubbing dried pawprints and kitchen grease off tile instead of smearing them, and credit the extending TruEdge roller for reaching baseboards other robots leave dusty, while flagging a battery some call small for the tier and an app that sends stray error alerts. Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty owners instead praise NeverStuck lifting for crossing thresholds and rug corners without getting stuck, and note the bagless HEPA base holding about a month of debris, but call the SharkClean app basic and say Wi-Fi pairing gave them trouble at setup. Neither group misses mop hardware they don't have, since the Shark is built vacuum-only.
