Xiaomi - S20+

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

Can you check if your mops are wet enough or one mop is dryer than the other? Mine S20+ right mop is much more dry when mopping.

Also from Brazil, I just got the Xiaomi S20+ (without warranty, from paraguay) and I am loving it, paid R$ 2k for it. My apartment is also polished porcelain and about 100 m², the effective cleaning area is about 67m². It is very good at picking up hair and mopping. About object avoidance I cant pass judgment yet because so far I have always removed everything from the floor to make the cleaning as thorough as possible. but it is very good at avoiding furniture's legs. Regarding the warranty, I didnt worry much, parts supply on aliexpress is very good, and I am very used to fixing my own electronics. But even so, specialized repair shops are popping up everywhere (here in Brazil).

Got the xiaomi s20+ recently and have been very satisfied. My apartment is the ideal condition for ir though, polished porcelain tiles throughout and a single small carpet in the bedroom. It vacuums better then my regular vacuum and the mop is enough to get rid of cooking droplets and coffee stains in the kitchen. It covers 67 m² vacuuming before mopping (the slowest process) within 2 hours, and with about half battery left.

I have an S20+ and tested on a rug, got rotated multiple times by getting the rug slip, and it found its way nicely. I guess the same applies to the X20+ too.

It can lift the mops and also vacuum without the mops attached. About the size I need to check.

Hi all, I wanted to provide a quick review of my Xiaomi S20+, I picked this thing up new for CHF 240 or around USD 290. Prior to purchasing I was torn between this standalone S20+ and the X20+ which comes with a full docking station, my issue was that I really didn't want an enormous knee height unit taking up space. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment which has wooden floor in the bedroom and tiles everywhere else. Initially I let it go around mapping my rooms after moving all of the furniture out of the way, then I set it off on it's first clean. I've just moved into this place and I guess that the landlord hadn't cleaned under the bed, the amount of dirt and dust it found under there was actually incredible. I guess I did what everyone does when they get a robot vacuum and threw a bunch of junk on the floor and deliberately spilled some coffee. It immediately did an excellent job of vacuuming but I found it didn't quite get the coffee up, this was solved by letting it add more water to the mop heads. After a week of playing around I not have it set up so it vacuums 4 days a week and does a vacuum then mop the other 3, this is a nice balance as it means you don't have to refill the water often and can get away with cleaning the mop heads once a week. It hasn't had any issues navigating and seems to have good obstacle detection, it did get a little stuck on my weighing scales so I just remember to keep them somewhere more sensible. It's been nice to come home to a vacuumed apartment, walking around barefooted on a tiled floor you can feel anything that shouldn't be there, now it's just nice to walk around and not wonder if you just stepped in toast crumbs. Anyway, super affordable and great for little places, refillable tank so it doesn't have to return to a station often when mopping. I suspect i'll still have to get in and properly vacuum and mop corners and edges, but this will be great for maintaining things mid-week while I can't be bothered.

Xiaomi S20+ is great. Reliable and has power to handle all types of floor.

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.

Xiaomi X20+ (369) is a model with an all in one station that can clean and dry its mops, rewet the mops, and autoempty the dust into a bigger dust bag. It’s rather hefty at about 13kg so I don’t think it’s very suitable for temporary-ish placements unless you happen to be very strong. For one without an all in one base station, You could also consider the Xiaomi S20+ (249). I think these are the best budget options as it is secretly able to deal with hair fur very well. It is compatible with the dreame TriCut brush (buy on aliexpress or Taobao) that uses hidden blades that move like a shaving razor every 23 rotations to cut off any tangled hair. It’s worked great for my long haired corgi. I also recommend asking it to vacuum first and then mop so no water and mud enters the vacuuming parts (ew and decreases the lifespan of the parts).

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.

The S20+ will mop the best. Easily compatible with dreame and Xiaomi consumables. Roborock mops should also fit the S20+.

The Xiaomi S20+ (€299) will be able to vacuum and mop well but will have the same issue of trying to eat everything. Sadly there’s no autoempty dock. There’s also the X20 Pro (€539) which has a base station which will autoempty the dustbin, refill the water’s internal water tank, dampen, wash, and dry the mops. Obstacle avoidance performance is generally the same. Most robots in your price range will use only structured light for obstacle avoidance and this is generally worse than RGB camera enabled robots (software is the main factor deciding if obstacle avoidance is good for RGB enabled robots)

Xiaomi S10+ and S20+

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.

For budget models the s20+’s spinning mops will be better than a passive mop.

S20+ and the l10s ultra gen 2 are miles apart. I’d get the l10s ultra gen 2 since it’s at the same price. Same if you meant the X20+

Obstacle avoidance and navigation will basically be the same. Both use lidar and structured light. I’d go for the S20 for a vacuum focused robot. Y shaped cleaning patterns are pretty good at removing dust from floor crevices which is something the S40C cannot do.

these two will be good budget options!! Roborock Q8 Max Plus https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/365760-Roborock-Q8-Max-White?utm_source=prisjakt.nu&utm_medium=cpc Dreame D20 Plus https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/387602-Dreame-D20-Plus-White?utm_source=prisjakt.nu&utm_medium=cpc If hair is shedded in your apartment, I’d go for the d20 plus as hair won’t get tangled in the rollers. You’d just have to remove the hair from ends of rollers from the q8 max+ every once in a while :)

Xiaomi is a great option if you want it to actually mop. You’d just have to dampen the mops before it mops and wash the mops after it finishes mopping. It’s best to run it to vacuum first then mop.

All will need you to tidy up the floor from cables, socks, and other smaller objects to avoid it from getting stuck. All three should be alright for mapping and navigation.

Soy de Argentina también y me encontraba exactamente en la misma situación. A pesar de que la postventa de Xiaomi en Argentina es inexistente, todos lis productos de la marca que tuve y tengo me han dado muy buenos resultados. Yo me compré la s20+ hace una semana y estoy muy conforme con los resultados. Mi casa es de 110 m2 , tengo un perro que pierde mucho pelo y viene cumpliendo muy bien. Las mopas giratorias limpian incluso algunas manchas secas y borra completamente todas las marcas de pisadas con patas húmedas y sucias del perro. El primer mapeo fue excelente. La batería nunca llegó a la mitad, incluso luego de primero barrer/aspirar toda la casa y luego pasar las mopas en toda la casa en aprox hora y media. Ya me hice un pedido de consumibles por Aliexpres por 28 dolares. Si necesitás saber algo mas, avisame

Xiaomi s20+, with rotating mops

Both are good on vacuum pickup, Roborock S8 slightly better especially on carpet. Both pick up pet hair fairly well, but the Xiaomi tends to have more of it stuck on the brush making the maintenance more laborious compared to the Roborock. Both are similar in terms of navigation and mopping effectiveness despite the two different ways (vibration vs rotatory mopping). However, the Roborock mop only lifts by 5mm, the Xiaomi one by 7mm (for when the robot has to go over the carpet). Both have similar performances in obstacles avoidance, the Xiaomi with a line laser, the Roborock with a 3D dots projector, but Roborock has a slight edge on recognition of small objects (from the front) and Xiaomi on the following *along* small objects (from the side). Both have original consumables at very accessible prices from AliExpress. Roborock S8 is a bit more reliable. The Roborock S8 is more feature-rich, even though the Xiaomi app of the S20+ is handy if you already have other Xiaomi products. Bear in mind you'll have to empty the dust bin very often as neither of them has a self-emptying station. Dust bin and water tank sizes are similar (S8 400ml/300ml, S20+ 450ml/290ml). Overall, the Roborock S8 is a better designed and built product (by far in some areas, and not that much different in others). Not sure where you're based, but the main selling point of the Xiaomi S20+ in Europe is its price. At £179 it's much much cheaper than the Roborock S8 and it's the best robot vacuum available *at that price* with no exceptions. If you can/want to spend more, Roborock S8 is the better choice.

My xiaomi s20+ need 10cm, the dock is a little larger. So not sure there are slimmer models.

I just bought the Xiaomi s20+ without self emptying and after three days the bin was quite full even though my 1C vacuumed daily. I suspect it could be the higher vacuum power on the s20+. Makes think the self emptying might have been a good idea but it would have gotten clogged due to our amount of hair. In Malaysia, the S40C launched and I'm upset since I bought the s20+ last week. 🫤

I think the Xiaomi s20 without the + is sufficient if you don't need to mop. I got the s20+ with the rotary mops that I haven't used yet and the maps on 1c was good enough so the s20 will be sufficient. Plus it is compact sized. My s20+ battery only uses 1 bar to cover a large amount of space. So I think the s20 is sufficient. Get the s20.

This is why I am hesitating on the roborock q10 pf in my country. It is the q10 x5 in US. Will the spare parts be found in 3 years? Only if sales are good enough. The spare parts if too different may not be found so easily. Like the Dreame D20 (only with charging dock) in my country that is not the Dreame D20 Ultra in any way. And so far I have been unable to find the spare parts or know its equivalent elsewhere. For my Xiaomi 1C, I have managed to find parts to it. I have sent it in to get the wheels switched out under warranty, I have changed the filters and brushes at economical prices and I have switched out the batteries twice so far. The new ones are larger capacity but cause the robot vac to be a bit haywire. Perhaps I need to service the front wheel and clean the sensors? Either way, I am undecided between the roborock q10 PF and Xiaomi S20 or S20+. The S20 seems to fit my needs as a basic vacuum and is more compact allowing it to get into slightly tight areas but feels like just a little upgrade over my 1C that still works albeit haywire sometimes. It gets fixated on areas some times. I have put furniture risers ro accommodate the LiDar puck as that was the only hindrance on the new vacuums.

Hey did you resolved a problem? Mine s20+ has the same problem. Right mop is significantly dryier than left. 

I think if your main objective is just vacuuming, buying X20 is kind of overkill. The budget Xiaomi S20+ is decent and it has a spinning mop and a structured light obstacle avoidance, but it lacks a self-empty dock. Therefore, Q8 Max+ is a better choice in this regard. It is also equipped with a structured light obstacle avoidance and a dual contra-rotating roller that should give better carpet cleaning than a single brush.

Similar to yourself in many ways re: total area. Personally I went for the Xiaomi s20+ for £175,which is ridiculously good value. Whilst Dreame/roborock will give you many choices at a lowish price point-what swung it for me was the Xiaomi post-sale customer service reputation.Equally important to mewas it has a really good mopping system-twin spinning mop pads,Often I could barely find robots that offered this tried and tested system at 3 times the price,so a no-brainer really.

You might like to look at something like the Xiaomi x20+ with the base for downstairs and leave it there.Them get a standalone S20+ with its simple charging dock and feed 3 different maps into it.Then you can just pop it and its lightweight base to all the 3 top floors as needed without any of the complications of a robot running out of water/needing to wash its mops etc at the base. Bought direct from Xiaomi that will fit your budget,and there will be a discount too.

I can vouch for the s20+. Hoovers and mops well, Maps quickly,really good object avoidance too.For its abilities its underpriced so a real bargain.

Well,these headline suction figures are-well,shall we say "interesting".Having only 2 robovacs to compare-both xiaomi and physically identical with the same brushes/filters etc.The newer generation one (with 6000 pa) picks up very well on my mainly low pile carpets-no complaints-at all.BUT,the previous generation one with just 4000 pa, keeps pulling far more dirt/dust out of the carpeted areas than the newer model-make of that what you will.......

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. 😅

Hello! 1.I had some initial hiccups before the current software update where the house map doesn't show. This has been fixed with the current patch (released almost 1 month ago). 2. I had to connect to my phone Mobile Data for initial software (read this on Reddit too) because the update was failing because of my house Wi-Fi settings. Once the update finished, I restarted the network connection and connected the RoboVac to my Wi-Fi without any issues. This might have been fixed now so keep that in mind😊 3. No buyer's regret! I've been using it everyday and it works like a charm. I own a cat and the RoboVac sucks up the cat hair as intended. Hope this helps!

Mag s20+ ka na. The s20+ has lift able mop pads. 😊

Hi! I also have the S20 and I really regret this buy… it’s a dumb robotvacuum, it bumps into everything and every 5 minutes gets stuck on something. I had the first gen Mi Robot Vacuum Mop, 5 years old, and it’s smarter than this one. Knowing what I know now, I would totally avoid it, the sensors are useless, and every time it’s backing up, it goes full force and crashes.

Ich hab einen Xiaomi S20, der hat ca. 160€ gekostet. Ich hab viel Parkett und ein paar kleinere Teppiche und war von der Arbeit des Roboters positiv überrascht. Die Karte ist super präzise und die Sperrzonen funktionieren perfekt. Die Wischfunktion hab ich noch nicht ausprobiert. Ist aber vermutlich nervig, weil man den ‚Lappen‘ von Hand drunter klemmen muss.

I just bought a Xiaomi s20 for £98. It’s been awesome!

Seems to work fine!

Hi everyone, i bought the same robot because i have a little kid that started crawling around recently and we had to mop and vacuum everyday so the robot was great addition and help for my wife while im at work. My only problem was that the robot couldn’t climb the 3cm lever between rooms, so I made little ramps to help it pass thru rooms and it works perfect. You can use wooden board as well, I hope this will resolve the matter for you as well.

I have s20 and he can easily “jump” over lets say char leg that is L shaped, and those legs are like 2-3cm thick so he can not on first try but he will lets say take step back and just go at it and easily jump over it, i do not regret it 😆

My living room is 3cm higher than my kitchen and could not climb over…

My 2 cents: - Brush needs to "click", requieres some pressure. Made the same mistake but it never got detached after that. - Cannot go over a 2cm bump to get into my kitchen, but can go over flip flops or similar... Who knows how that works. - Bumps into things, usually not hard, but sometimes yes (again, go figure). - Area that goes over in my aparentement is around 60m2 according to the app, which consumes around half the battery (half in turbo, half in standard, only mopping a small area)

I have this vacuum for 6 months now. So the little brush has to “click” on the vacuum. I never had it be removed by itself before. I have 2 cats and two huge carpets, and this vacuum does amazing job vacuuming them (on turbo). I would disagree regarding the noise, it’s okay, not like an actual vacuum, slightly less noisy, but you can hear it. Regarding bumping, vacuum itself is made with an extra movement allowing the robot to clean in very tiny spaces, corners and similar. It won’t break anything. Mine does a great job scanning stuff and it never goes over flip flops and stuff. The only time I had something stuck in it was a napkin. It seems I don’t have a control thingy, this depends on the area that is originally selected. Mainland china is great for app updated, however this robot can’t be find on the list for that region. Also, keep in mind that you won’t get notifications unless region is actual as the Wi-Fi. It won’t climb higher than 2cm, but it is interesting looking at its wheels work up and down to climb things. I would recommend having the water department empty if you needed to climb anything. Also remove mop pad when you want to vacuum, especially carpets. I don’t find it as a minus that it does not recognize the carpet, as there’s an option to select areas that you don’t want to be mopped, or vacuumed. Additional plus for this model is that it has option for professional mopping, and it does wonders. It actually cleans very well. For the price, I think it worth every penny.

Hey folks, I recently bought the Xiaomi S20 robot review and prior to it realized there were not many opinions I could find on this module, so hopefully this post will fill the void a little. I'll be posting everything I wish I knew before buying it, and some things you might consider before deciding if this machine is for you. If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer it whenever I check back. I decided to look for a robot vacuum because I have allergy issues from the dust and pollens. I would get crazy sneeze attacks almost daily, and it wouldn't be solved unless I'm dedicating a lot more time cleaning than I could physically provide after work. I also shed a lot of hair easily, and own a long-hair cat who loves to snuggle and groom on my carpet. *\* Bought for: ≈$230* **Pros:** * **3 levels of vacuuming: Silent, standard, and turbo.** While not truly silent, it sounds more like a remote-controlled car going around and still does a great job of picking up dust. I don't use standard honestly. Turbo is super strong but also very LOUD! It's the same noise level as a regular vacuum. For the sake of the noise, I like to use it while out of the room or showering and there's a lot of bliss in coming back to a clean freshly-vacuumed room. * **Mopping:** Arguably the only truly quiet function, you can also pick how much water it dispenses in three levels. There's a function to vacuum and mop simultaneously, but I think it's more effective to manually vacuum then mop separately. * **Works on carpets:** This was my biggest question before buying it. Yes, it does a great job vacuuming and climbing carpets. It worked on a traditional carpet and a faux fur carpet with no issue getting stuck. However, it will rattle up and down as it moves unless you fill the water container which I suppose weighs it down. It also works great under tight spaces, such as my drawers and sofa, as long as it can fit (Maybe look up a manual and check for its dimensions). * **Control the room map:** You can create virtual walls within the map, set a no vacuum&mop area, and a no-mop area. There's no option for a strictly no-vacuum area which I don't find to be an inconvenience. It's super-important to not let the vacuum mop over carpets because I noticed the vacuum won't do it automatically. I also used the no vacuum&mop in places with a lot of wires. * **Schedule:** You can schedule cleanups with full control over whether you want it to mop or vacuum, and on which days you want it to occur, even just once then the schedule is terminated. To test if it can commit to its schedule while offline, I created a for schedule for 2 minutes ahead, then turned off my router and it still worked, but will need to test this with a longer wait. * **No cameras:** For those like me concerned about privacy, this module uses a rotating sensor and has no mentions of implementing a camera/object recognizer. **Cons:** * **Bumps into things:** It has a sensor but is still pretty clumsy and will bump into things along its way. This could damage or chip objects in the long run. It also always runs over my flips-flops and other small objects, so I always get them out of the way before starting it. * **Mops on carpets unless restricted on map settings:** It can't tell apart floors from carpets, so it'll mop over carpets and dispense water over them, so you need to manually restrict carpet areas on the map as a no-mopping zone. * **Will get stuck occasionally:** Every now and then I find it stuck and it's because it tried to suck up wires 90% of the time or climb up my floor lamp's base. The no-zone might not solve this because it's not very precise for small areas. I plan to buy a wire organizing box to fix this. Also If you have long curtains that drape to the floor, set it as a no-go zone for sure. * **Limited remote function:** Controlling the robot from your phone is a plus for sure, but it can only move forward, rotate, and backwards with three buttons which I found tacky. Something like two joysticks to move and rotate would've been much better. Also another mild inconvenience is that you need to be in the exact same network to use the remote, which meant switching from 5G to the standard WiFi in my phone's settings. For that reason, I never use this feature. I couldn't find any screenshots on Google so I'll post one from my app: https://preview.redd.it/6wk3bub5me5e1.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2e803a6cc60a27813d404a300d00156c125b570 * **Brush gets detached easily:** The brush that spins around will sometimes get caught onto something and detaches so easily. Next thing I know I'm playing hide and seek trying to find where it is. I think it could've been more stable. You can still vacuum without the brush attached though, but I think it's pretty vital for pushing dust into the vacuum. **Conclusion:** I absolutely do not regret buying the robot vacuum. My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. I've been getting allergens a ton less, most of which not even in my room. All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. I had a lot of hesitations, but looking back it was definitely worth the investment. I hope this clears up some questions anyone had about the Xiaomi S20, and look forward to what anyone else has to say or ask. Cheers.
