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.

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.

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.

Tenho uma da xiaomi 1a geração ha ja varios anos e com animais vale bem a pena. Ha limitacoes e cuidados a ter quando metes o aspirador a trabalhar. Tapetes de pelo muito comprido pode enrolar na escova. Tapetes muito leves/finos podem ir de rastos com o aspirador. Em termos de poder de limpeza não é muito grande. O poder de sucção é uma fração comparado com um aspirador normal. Serve apenas para uma limpeza mais superficial para nao deixar acumular muito lixo no chao no dia a dia. Cabos no chao sao perigosos pois podem ser puxados e vem tudo abaixo. Dito isto, continuo a recomendar sem sombra de duvidas. Acho que foi dos melhores compras que fiz dos ultimos anos, porque deixei de aspirar as grandes superfícies planas e apenas me foco nos detalhes mais pequenos, em cima dos rodapés, ou atras de uma oi outra porta. Tenho estado de olho num Xiaomi X10, ja com base de deposito e mopa incluida ( o meu so tem aspirador e é preciso despejar o depósito depois de cada passagem) Ja tive de meter uma bateria nova mas em 10 anos de operação penso que seja aceitável.

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.

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.
