Xiaomi - Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 1C

Experience with 2 vacuums: I was using Mi robot (forgot model name; bought for 20k in 2020). It was a basic model with vacuum and mop functions. Worked okay, mopping was pretty ineffective if there are any hard stains. After a few years, battery life went down and mapping function also got impaired after we changed houses. Overall, 6/10. Recently bought Dreame L10s ultra. They needed some form filling to be done to get a demo person, which my mom couldn’t do, so by the time I did and by the time the service person came (1 week after filling form), return/exchange window was closed. The person discovered that the machine had faulty power button, and since I cannot return via Amazon, he asked us to send to service centre. They took a good 10-11 days to return the machine. Then the service person came, did demo, and we finally started using it 1 month after purchase. Although the initial service made us question the ROI, the machine itself is a dream indeed. My mom remarked that her slippers are squeaking on the floor because the machine did an excellent job at mopping. She manually swept the rooms today and said there was no dust and did the sweeping only for namesake. We also marked my grandfather’s room as a no-go zone and the machine does not go there. Overall, I am happy with this investment.

I have a Mi robot vacuum mop 1C or something like this, bought it 4 years ago in Russia and brought it here. It was okay for my studio apartment back there, but the battery is too small for 76m2, so it usually goes to recharge in the process, sometimes twice and it’s very annoying. Wet mopping is kind of useless, maybe newer models are more efficient, but this one barely does anything and mop is an additional hustle - you need to fill the tank, change and dry the cloth (or it starts to stink and then the robot will spread the smell). It likes to get tangled in wires lying on the floor or wrap ends of curtains around itself and get stuck. But it’s only half the problem - if it gets stuck and you had to move it to help it there’s an 80% chance it won’t understand where it is, give up and start cleaning from the very start. So it‘s pretty annoying and I even call him a slur because of it from time to time, but it does the job. It collects a lot of hair that I think otherwise would be everywhere across the floor. So as a short summary a few things to pay attention to: Good battery that allows to finish the cleaning in one cycle. Wet cleaning is kind of useless. Robot getting stuck is super annoying, so invest into one with good navigation system.

This is why I am hesitating on the roborock q10 pf in my country. It is the q10 x5 in US. Will the spare parts be found in 3 years? Only if sales are good enough. The spare parts if too different may not be found so easily. Like the Dreame D20 (only with charging dock) in my country that is not the Dreame D20 Ultra in any way. And so far I have been unable to find the spare parts or know its equivalent elsewhere. For my Xiaomi 1C, I have managed to find parts to it. I have sent it in to get the wheels switched out under warranty, I have changed the filters and brushes at economical prices and I have switched out the batteries twice so far. The new ones are larger capacity but cause the robot vac to be a bit haywire. Perhaps I need to service the front wheel and clean the sensors? Either way, I am undecided between the roborock q10 PF and Xiaomi S20 or S20+. The S20 seems to fit my needs as a basic vacuum and is more compact allowing it to get into slightly tight areas but feels like just a little upgrade over my 1C that still works albeit haywire sometimes. It gets fixated on areas some times. I have put furniture risers ro accommodate the LiDar puck as that was the only hindrance on the new vacuums.

Bought Xioami Mijia 1C mopping robot from Aliexpress couple years back. Still working, little hassle because need change software region to china first and then connect. Xiaomi atleast wants all god dam things from your phone before you can control your vacuum.... You will get your vacuum for sure but warranty can be real hassle if something go wrong. Some sellers are interested to solve problems and some just say they dont care.

Absolutely yes. I got xiaomi one, with mop function. It has no self cleaning, but I'm completely happy, it doesn't bother me to empty container and wash the mop once a day. I run it 1-2 times a day. I still mop once 2 months, but overall my floor upkeep is completely automated. I hate mopping and vacuuming, I need my floor cozy to walk barefoot at all times.

I have the Mi one (not sure if the model) and it’s quite impressive, has been running for 2+ years with no issues at all!

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 ....

Been using Mi since 2020. First issue popped up on 2025 and technician came home with in 2 days to fix. We are in Kottayam. So Mi is good from my experience.

My old original Xiaomi MI robot vac has been going strong still with good battery life for over 8 years 😆 Just replaced the brush and filter a few times. I turn off when not in use once or twice a week to reduce battery depredation.

Yup, that's the answer, Valetudo the only truly local robot vaccum intégration in home assistant, and the l10s works wonders (from what i heard, I'm running a cheap Xiaomi mija robot vaccum on Valetudo) Roborock do have a "local polling" intégration, but you still need to have your robot be able to talk to roborock servers.

I ran my old combo Xiaomi on the vacuum + mop mode as it couldn’t just mop by itself and with regular use, the motor became much louder.
