The Xiaomi E5 - it's generally a bump car robot vacuum and gets the job done for a small apartment.
It's decent if it's used for a small room like a dorm and has no carpet at all. I have Xiaomi E5 alongside Dreame F9 and Roborock Q7, it did quite well picking up dust on hard floor (not carpet obviously). But, the less efficient gyroscope navigation drains the battery more than my F9 and Q7, and takes half an hour to clean my small studio-size dorm. My Q7 takes only 15 minutes, F9 is 20 to 30 minutes, and E5 takes 30 to 40 minutes.
Worst in every single field? It looks like you don't own one. It is an entry-level robot vacuum, so it explains the limited performance it offers, but it is perfect for those who don't have the budget and have a small room or limited space. I have one and it works perfectly. I have a small room, and it cleans my room effectively, given its limited specs. Please be careful with the way you review; it looks to me that you're just insulting the product and not giving your valid opinion.
marami kaming pusa at aso sa bahay kaya sobrang dami nang balahibo na naiiwan sa sahig. ang hirap nya walisin kasi nagliliparan lang. hahaha. kaya bumili ako nang robot vacuum. laking tulong kasi nauubos nya talaga yung mga balahibo sa sahig. ang binili ko pala is yung [robot vacuum](https://s.shopee.ph/2LP4Yvm6Am) ni xiaomi e5 yung model. may mobile app din yan pwede mong i schedule yung cleaning. tapos nag aautomatic na bumabalik sa charging dock kapag low battery or tapos na sya maglinis. \*\*affiliate link posted https://preview.redd.it/219evc7kyeqf1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29bb62be808f09c4a98ba9f8361a6fd9b86e753e
Its quite a golden oldie,but still being sold by Xiaomi I think.Its suction levels and battery size are comparatively small by contemporary standards.It is a mopping robot in that it has a static pad system. No top lidar turret.I would think you can connect it to the Xiaomi home app/control it with alexa etc.In the app-I dont think it would support mapping,or schedules.If you have a smallish simple area,it will do the job.There's also a E10,Mii mop,Mi mop ultra/pro? Then coming forward-the S10,the S10+,the S20,S20+ etc.
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.
