Xiaomi - Mi Robot

I still have my Xiaomi Mi Robot 1S since 2017 and still runs like a charm, but I have to say 2 years ago I have replaced the battery for 50 bucks and now I'm looking into a new robot which is capable of detecting the things on the ground from my kids as well as also does a wet cleaning... but I also came up with that question, will that robot last also 7-8 years? Probably not... but it also does a different and more complex job.

This. I'm even still running the ancient Xiaomi gen1 robot vacuum for our upstairs. It still works perfectly fine. Sure, newer models are better, but we don't have hairy animals in the house so it's rather anemic suction is still perfectly adequate.

Market is flooded I have a couple of Xiaomi hoover only ones, have been going for years but have replaced multiple parts Was looking at upgrade with mop and went with Dreame L10s ultra which is very similar to the eufy everyone recommends but was cheaper Word perfect and the mop works, don’t buy one with a mop that is just dragging a cloth , it’s a waste of time

I have an Original Xiaomi Mi Robot since 2018. I've had to replace brushes and filters, but it still works just fine.

To be fair, my first gen Xiaomi robot vacuum that I replaced last week vacuums way better than the ecovacs T20 omni that took its place.

I mean, it can be both of the things. That Xiaomi vacuumed perfectly, it literally almost never missed a spot, so I can't really imagine how there can be any improvement over perfection ahah In my case I upgraded mostly because I wanted to add mopping, better map management and less noise, and I paid so little for the T20 that I'm fine if it gets 99% of the older robot.

Years ago, i bought xiaomi Gen 1 robot vac. It was a China model. So for the app, i need to set to China for the region. Still using after 8 years. Along the way, i replaced the battery and wheels. Still working fine

Had a Xiaomi that I bought on Aliexpress before they rebranded as Roborock in 2018 that lasted about 4 years, then bought a Roborock and it's still doing great after another 3-4 years. It does mopping too, and I've replaced 1 wheel. It runs 4-5 times a week with pets.

I am are using mi robot vaccum from last 6 years. Still working good. Bought it in 2020 when they first launched it in India. Minimum you should buy is one with lidar sensor. To easily identify, the small round bump on top of the vaccum means that is lidar sensor. It was as low as as 9k during offer period and really good. I am thinking of upgrading to dreame vaccum and mop that is 50k. My wife thanks me so many times for getting it because no more headache of house help.

Owner of MI and Ecovacs for 2 storey house where house help is not easily available. Keeps the place well dusted and clean on daily basis. Once a month or as per need we get someone to do deep cleaning. Works like a charm and the sight of retired dad watching over the robots and guiding and coaxing them on is worth it :😛🙂

Been using the Mi one since lockdown. Maid ko tabhi se GPL diya hai.... I was insisting on buying it when it was on a flash sale for 17000, but mom was only convinced during COVID and I ended up paying 20k... Still worth it..... Today however I'd recommend the newer ones with self clean and vibrating mop at minimum... Will upgrade to those when this one dies ....
