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 ....
