Xiaomi - S10 Plus

Currently using S10+ Also bought the s20 when it was on sale

I ran my old combo Xiaomi on the vacuum + mop mode as it couldn’t just mop by itself and with regular use, the motor became much louder.

General care tips: Wash mop pads after every mopping session and dampen them before. You could machine wash and dry them (I personally wouldn’t because I don’t want the stuff that touches the floor to touch the machine that cleans my clothes, you could get a mini cheap washing machine specially for this if you want it to be as clean as possible). Drying them in hot air is very important to prevent mildew. Tap the dust out of your filter once every few cleaning tasks. I also put a piece of a cut out air conditioner prefilter sheet in front of the filter to help reduce maintenance. It won’t obstruct airflow that much as it’s designed to get as much airflow as possible while filtering well. Run it on the vacuuming first before mopping mode. It may take longer but it’ll help prevent mud buildup in the dustbin, brush compartment, and filter (nearly impossible to clean off). The S10+ couldn’t do this (first one I owned) so I would have to clean off so much mud even when the mop moisture was set to the lowest level.

The most important upgrade is the fact it can vacuum first and then and mop without needing to remove the mop pads whereas the S10+ cannot. The obstacle avoidance should also be better, my S10+ was awful at avoiding things like table legs and would love bumping into them at high speed.

Xiaomi S10+ (no mop lift but it doesn’t matter since you’ll remove it but terrible obstacle avoidance) and the S20+ (should have better obstacle avoidance) are basically the same (also made by dreame) with Xiaomi customer support.

Xiaomi S10+ or S20+ or Dreame’s L10 Pro Gen 2. Even though both come with an internal water tank for mopping, you can simply remove the mops. I recommend these models as these models without an autoempty or all in one dock are compatible with the dreame TriCut brush which has worked brilliantly with long hair and long fur from my long haired corgi.

First one was a Xiaomi S10+ given as a housewarming gift. Worked great at getting rid of my dog’s fur and mopped my dog’s drool rather well. It died when a pipe burst after warranty ended. RIP. I bought another Xiaomi model, Mijia M30S (D103CN) in November which is a dreame X30 Ultra without any of the smart features and the camera such as mop swing, CleanGenius or auto mop rewashing. Cleans pretty well and quietly given that I have to tap the dust out of its filter everyday. Still liked to eat wires like my old one and side brush tangles more than before (mainly because I pay less attention to it now). 1200sqm strong and it’s still behaving as expected.

It’s free, free is good. A five year warranty is also rather nice, rare to find for a robot vacuum. I received my first one (Xiaomi S10+) as a housewarming gift and it served me well by vacuuming my dog’s fur and mopped his drool until water from a burst pipe massacred it.

I had a S10+ and it eventually broke down because of the mop water it was inhaling when vacuuming. It cannot mop only or vacuum first before mopping. Other users’ experiences matched my experience. I’d recommend the S20+ since it can vacuum first before mopping or just mop.

Hello! You are right that the price is negligible. The selling point for me was the suction strength. 4000pa on the s10+ vs 600pa on the s20+. I only have tiled floors & others might say that a 4000pa is enought but.. It's a good feature to have nonetheless. And also that they're from the same series, the s10+ if I'm not mistaken was released in 2023 and that the s20+ was only released a few months ago and should benefit from some technological advances albeit minute. 😅

The cheapest and oldest Xiaomi model is the S10, it has a Lidar, like all their other models that came after. The S10 costs $120 Google.com "Xiaomi S10+Lidar"
