Xiaomi - Mijia M30S OMNI Infinite (D103CN)

I have a great experience with my Xiaomi M30S. 730 hours in and nothing has happened.

738 hours with my Xiaomi M30S and it’s going great.

The cleaning time really depends on your home’s layout. I also have a heavily shedding long-haired corgi and I run it to vacuum first before mopping twice a day while he’s at home. He doesn’t mind the robot at all, even when it’s bumping against him. My robot runs on a schedule and I can choose the rooms I want to be cleaned first. I also set my robot to clean its mops once every 10sqm which is the best mop washing frequency I’ve found so it doesn’t get dirtier over time. The dreame TriCut brush works great at not getting tangled. My robot is the Xiaomi MiJia M30S and the closest model in the EU is the X20 Max. The X20 Max comes with its own anti tangle brush that users say work fine too. For the robots, I’d recommend either the X10+, X20 Pro, or the X20 Max as they’ll be more water efficient than the X20+. For voice command, you can either link it to a smart home assistant of your choice (Google home or Siri) with a shortcut. Some robots have onboard voice assistants but these are more expensive.

I have a dreame made Xiaomi robot and it’s been working great at 700 hours.

Xiaomi MiJia M30S. This is closest to the L30 Ultra S without the detergent tank but has hot water mop washing up to 60° (I tested this and it lives up to its claim).

The dreame/MOVA models with the fur compression feature tend to make better use of the dustbin space compared to their older robots. I had a Xiaomi M30S with the older dreame dustbin design that’s on the X40 and it clogged with fur in the middle but had empty space on the sides. https://preview.redd.it/3djh7ba3fnsf1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0013800754f094a3c78647c9b20c597399bb6c2c

My first robot was a Xiaomi s10+ that was gifted to me as a housewarming gift. It helped a lot but there was so much to be desired since it couldn’t vacuum first then mop (it could only vacuum only but couldn’t mop only) so the vacuum motor ended up dying after a year after the moisture from the mops entered the brush housing, dustbin, and vacuum motor making mud in there and eventually killing the motor. Otherwise pretty solid but it’s now discontinued. Xiaomi support was very helpful when something got stuck in the wheels even when I had no proof of purchase since it was a gift. I upgraded to the M30 S (mainland china only so no local support) with my own money. Pretty decent for its price as it could wash mops with hot water, extend the mop, and vacuum first then mop. It’ll clog the dustbin rather easily with fur though. It uses the same dustbin as the Dreame x40 ultra and the MOVA p10 pro ultra. Closest to the dreame l10s ultra gen 2 with hot water mop washing and no detergent tank. I’d recommend the newer robot vacuum 5 or 5 pro if you want an RGB camera for obstacle avoidance. I’m seeing some navigation issues with the 5 pro but since Xiaomi’s customer service has been pretty solid I would still recommend it.

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.

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
