Xiaomi Mi Smart Automated Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1st Generation - Robotic Self-Charging, 5200mAh, 1800Pa Suction, App Control, Path Planning Vaccum Sweeper Easy for Hard Floor and Carpet

We love this little vacuum! Had originally purchased a Roomba 690 for about the same price at our local Best Buy store. Returned it after a week due to it's lack of navigation and ping-pong cleaning style. It also had trouble finding the dock and the battery would die while searching for it. Since we've switched to the Xiaomi vacuum, we have not experienced any of the issues we had with the Roomba. The fit and finish of the Xiaomi is much better as well. As soon as I took it out of the box, I could tell it was a premium product.It actually employs logic and scanning into it's cleaning routine. While it does bump things ocassionally, it does it softly, as if it knows there's something nearby. It finds it's dock every single time and the battery last long enough to clean our 800sq-ft apartment three times before actually requiring a charge. I would purchase it again and recommend it to anyone who wants to save time in their weekly chores. If I could list one con, it's the main brush. About once a cleaning cycle the vacuum will pause and alert us to clean the main brush. It's usually rolled up quite a bit of long hair and senses when it's having trouble spinning. Otherwise it's a solid little vacuum.

In my opinion this is the best robovac on the market. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Robot Vacuum is way above everyone else. This vacuum is made by Roborock. The Mi Robot Vacuum features an app that fully maps a room, lets you set boundaries, allows you to set schedules, and many other options. My favorite part about this vacuum is that it fully maps a room. It easily navigates around objects and will fully and efficiently clean rooms. I use this on my main floor that has a mix of carpet and hardwood floors. This vacuum does an excellent job at cleaning on both floor types. In my opinion you get what you pay for and I would take this over the cheap robovacs any day. The seller was great also! They sent me setup instructions via email once I ordered the product! I have considered ordering another one for my upstairs.

Do not buy! I bought on I Jan and within 3 months started giving a foul burning smell as well as sounding weird with a high pitch sound and not working right was sent a new one from Amazon just to have the new one do the same thing....I cleaned the bin daily and filter every other day and brush once a wk so it was nothing on my end just a faulty product

Was looking to upgrade from Deebot N79S to a mapping botvac and tried this Xiaomi Mi for a week. The laser mapping capability is seductive and yields great maps, but the botvac performance left much to be desired. It has a small trash bin and despite claim of long battery life (which I did not observe, lasted an hour) and ability to return to charging base to clean large floors, it would have to be emptied several times to accomplish this. I did not have the opportunity to test this as the vacuum was not effective at cleaning floors, especially carpets. Also, did not reliably return to charger. Least desirable feature was that it frequently got stuck on rug tassels. My wife and daughter claimed that it was excessively aggressive, "biting their toes". We have Deebot N79S's and tried the Neato Botvac Connected which do not suffer the same complaint.

The factory set up for this vacuum is in Mandarin, the same with the manual. English version is available in xiaomi website, but cannot print or download. Initially I had a hard time connecting the vacuum with my phone. Found out through Reddit that switching server to Singapore solved the problem. Vacuum works wonderful in general, pick up dog hair. I have a U shape house and the vacuum moves between adjacent rooms instead of finishing one room then go to the next room. Not sure why. Another minor issue is that it didn't go under my bed because it detected bed skirt as a wall. But overall, i am happy with this vacuum. Great value for the price, especially comparing to the high end product from Roomba

Best vacuum ever!!!! We have tried dozens of robot vacuums including the leader iRobot’s top line, the Xiaomi kills any in comparison! It maps out my house, knows when to start back up and from where and it extremely powerful. I have 4 kids and sure it gets Lot of useage, but no doubt can handle my messy household. TIP to best use: clear your floor(s) of anything that may clog the vacuum like socks or clothing etc, and this thing will take care of the rest! Control it with Alexa under the right settings!

Excellent vacuum cleaner. Works beautifully with the app over the phone.

Great!8month and continue working OK.
