Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop (Global)

+1 for the Mi robo vacuum-mop. I got the first one in 2020 on Mi's kickstarter campaign and it's still doing a great job cleaning the house.  8/10 for vacuuming, I can barely manage a 3/10 with a broom. I had to buy spares from lesser known brands on Amazon

I got a Roborock QX Revo Ultra from Costco (basically a Qrevo Edge but made for Costco?). One thing I'm going to point out that would probably blow a lot of minds is that I owned the original Xiaomi Mi Vacuum which is the first vacuum that Roborock ever released and the Roborock S50 which is the second. Both were released around 2017. The navigation, mapping and dock finding on those early pioneering vacuums was faster and **better** than this ultra high end top of the line model. Those vacuums never got lost or struggled to find the dock, they mapped quickly, and they returned to the dock quickly. This new one is trying to do so much, it maps slow, and it needs to think a lot to get back to the dock. If you set it somewhere random and try to send it back to the dock, it doesn't know where the dock is and it needs to think for a few minutes. All of that to say you'd be shocked that vacuums from 2017 that pioneered this tech and only did 10% of what a modern robo vac does already had a lot of what you need, and they were only $300.

They break like crazy. Even the simpler early models break. My Xiaomi MI and Roborock S50 both lasted 4 years and they had only 10% of the tech a modern robovac with a dock does. The Mi died from battery issues and the S50 has damaged capacitors / resistors / transistors.

I am watching this space. Tried MI a few years back. The dust it collected just after cleaning was insane

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 ....

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.

Mi for more than 6 years, satisfied with the vacuming but mopping is useless, brushes and other consumable parts are available from Amazon , service has been okay , had one motor replacement done from MI but took a long time for the part to come

Mine (a Xiaomi Mii from about 8 years ago, though it wasn't the newest and most advanced model even back then) has a voice that will complain when it gets stuck and it sends a notification to my phone as well, so you wouldn't need to keep checking it.

I've had the same Xiaomi Mii for the last 8 years or something. I'm extremely satisfied with it. But it really depends on things like clutter, obstacles like cords, and even how particular you're about spotless floor (imo, it's spotless, but I've seen posts by people who just like to vacuum themselves for a more perfect cleaning). I'm kinda of a slob and also get very stressed with the noise from the vacuum in the same room as me, so a robot I can schedule to run when I'm not at home is very convenient. And now it's just 2nd nature to remove things from the floor (even if that means flinging it onto the closest high ground) so we rarely have problems with the robo half-choking on a sock. Cleaning the rollers off long hair is annoying, though.

Got a dog that sheds a lot and leaves saliva marks on the floor. I had cheap xiaomi robot vacuum mop before, still had to clean a few times a week. Switched to dreame x40 ultra + a levoit air purifier, now i dont really vacuum or mop at all, and i dust the furniture less frequently

I have 2 cats too, one long haired and one short. Tried many many vacuums over the 10+ years that I’ve had my cat. Here’re my personal take on the vacuums as someone who works full time and don’t necessarily have time to clean daily. Dyson: Have the version with the laser. Cost $$$$ but it’s lasted me ~5 years now and still going strong. Fur shows up really well with the laser and imo is a must for pet households. However the fur gets caught in the dust drum especially if your cat is long haired. I would suggest saving up for a laser vacuum, but not necessarily a Dyson one. Side note laser don’t really work well on soft or textured floors (carpets and textured mats), so consider your own situation before you invest. Shark: Had this before the Dyson, so its an old model. Did it’s job, less costly but it was a bit heavier. Broke after 3ish years? Was a bit difficult to clean out the tangled fur too. Random handheld for ~$50 off shopee: Had this in the interim between the shark and the Dyson. My floor LOOKED clean but after turning on the Dyson laser it was an absolute nightmare. Fur and dust EVERYWHERE. So thats why I love the laser. Wet dry robot vacuum from Xiao Mi: It was okay for a while but then things started getting tangled in it (I also have clutter). Also the mop function isn’t very strong so you’d still need to hand mop ~1-2 times a week. After a while it somehow forgot my floor layout and would only mop half of the living room before returning to dock. Also cleaning the vacuum itself was a pain. If your cat is the kind to poop on the floor or cough up hairballs often, I would exercise caution since if your cat ever made a mess when you are out, and the vacuum goes over it, you might just come home to 💩 streaks all over…. Old style vaccum with cord and cylinder: Have this as a backup vacuum. The suction is much better than cordless handheld stick vacuums. Cordless is bad at picking up fur in soft floor like carpet or mats. Con is it’s heavy and less wieldy than cordless. Given your budget I would actually go with a lighter corded vacuum since most budget cordless are bad at picking up fur off anything thats not hard floor… Look for stuff built specifically for pet hair and try out the vacuum in stores if you can. Also look up reviews on Youtube that are 6 month to 1 year post purchase for pet households. Some vacuums lose suction fast.
