First of all, we should know that the biggest difference between X8 and X8 Hybrid is that X8 Hybrid is a 2-in-1 cleaning and mopping vacuum, while X8 can only clean. Other features are the same. 

Now let’s see what’s new with X8 and X8 Hybrid. What scenarios are recommended?

1. X8/X8 Hybrid comes with Twin-Turbine Technology. Each turbine offers 2000 Pa of suction power, increasing overall airflow by 80% so your house can go back to looking its best. Clean up to 57.6%* more pet hair with the immense power of the Twin Turbines. 

X8/X8 Hybrid is more suitable for people who have pets.

*When compared to a single-turbine robotic vacuum.

2. With iPath™ Laser Navigation and AI.Map™ 2.0 Technology, X8/X8 Hybrid intelligently memorizing your house environment, it can quickly build a virtual map to follow for the most efficient cleaning route. Guided by intelligently-generated, multi-floor maps, RoboVac will know where it's cleaning, whether it's on the first floor, in the basement, or in the attic. Also with 5200mAh Li-ion, it can run for 150 minutes in pure mode.

X8/X8 Hybrid is suitable for large houses and multi-floors. Running for up to 180 m², the ultra-long runtime supports RoboVac X8 Series as it completes its floor duties across the house.

3. With BoostIQ technology, the suction power automatically increases in just 1.5 seconds when extra vacuuming strength is needed, such as when changing levels from a hard floor to a rug. Also with the 17mm climbing height, it is easy to transfer from hard floor to carpet/rug.

It’s more suitable for the carpeted floor when compared to the old models.
