Announcement
A review site reported on February 11, 2026 that Ecovacs’s Q1 2026 lineup included the Winbot Mini 2 as a compact alternative to the Winbot W3 Omni, with release on March 12, 2026 for 299 euros (RRP). The same report dated the W3 Omni’s market start to February 12 at 699 euros. Another review site covered the lineup the same day and described the Winbot Mini 2 as intended for smaller or specially framed window areas.
What was described
One review site lists an ultra-flat housing, improved corner and edge brushes and WIN-SLAM 4.0 navigation. Another describes a particularly flat build, a new spray system and improved corner brushes aimed at hard-to-reach spots. A later report noted that, unlike the W3 Omni, the Mini 2 comes without a base station.
Availability reports
An owner review published June 3, 2026 says the author paid $349 for the Winbot Mini 2 in February, which suggests US sales began before the stated European date.
