XIAOMI Mi Robot Vacuum X20 MAX,prezadovolni

Xiaomi x20 max van nekem! Golden retriver kutyus mellett használom és nagyon meg vagyok vele elégedve! Szépen porszívózza a magas szőnyegeket is és nagyon szépen fel is mos! Heti egyszer szoktam a sima porszívót mellé használni és egy fertőtlenítő a viledás felmosást! Annyi, hogy mindent el kell pakolni a lakásban ahhoz, hogy szépen tudjon működni! Töltőkábel meg hasonló dolgok ne lógjanak a földre, mert feltekeri sajnos! Illetve semmi vegyszert nem lehet bele önteni, ezért is mosok fel néha sanytolos vízzel pluszban, de összességében egy ilyen fajta kutyus mellett nekünk áldás, mert mondhatni egy szőrszálat nem hagy maga után! Bár hozzáteszem a goldik szőre jól porszívózható, mert nem tapad meg semmin!🥳🙏🏻

You might look into the Xiaomi X20 Max (which I have). This one has a special brush which automatically cuts of hair... I previously had the X10, and this change to the brush is such a game changer when you have a woman and a dog in the house.

No, you should not buy the X20 Max. It's a great device, usually at a good price, except for one huge problem - there is a major design flaw - the dirty water from mopping is pulled into the waste tank right next to the an air-only sucking pipe (which is how the dirty water is sucked up from the mop pad cleaning tray at the bottom). This air-intake is \*right next to\* the dirty water inlet, and so what happens is water accidentally sprays into the line to the air pump, and it will over time fail. This will usually happen after 2-3 months. Many people reported it online, it's definitely a design flaw, and is frustrating as it would be an easy design update for Xiaomi. What are people doing who don't experience this? I can only assume they aren't doing much mopping? Once it fails unless Xiaomi agree to replace the whole thing you are going to have a lot of hassle with their warranty repairs. So despite loving the device, I would not recommend it to anyone. Edit: if you do buy it anyway - try to bodge something in the waste tank to keep the airline free - maybe some duck tape on the waste line to avoid it spraying the air line when it empties? You'll see what I mean if you get the device.

I feel a shoutout for Xiaomi X20 Max is needed. It’s a beast with large tanks for mopping as well. No pets, but I shed like crazy. And 2 kids who love playing with synthetic doll hairs etc. The tricut brush is great, minimal cleaning once a week. I run mopping and vacuum once a day, covering 100sqm per session. I just couldn’t bring myself to fork out $1k and above for a RV (all due respect for those who did)

I think the X10 has a smaller dustbin capacity as well. I vaguely recall doing a comparison between the X10 / X10+ vs X20 Max. The mopping features did stand out, with X10 having no washing, cleaning, or mop raising. I think the suction power was lower as well, but that’s something you need to bet on based on your needs / mess to clean. I got the X20 Max @ £350, which apparently falls into the “budget-friendly” RV category. Didn’t need all the features for it, but glad I do have it now. Been using it and it’s adding a ton of value. You might also want to consider potential future needs with the robot, as they typically last for 4 to 5 years. Future proofing sorta thing. Worth getting the X10, establish a baseline on what you’d want and purchase an upgrade later :) might help justify to ourselves on paying for the upgrades.

I actually read all of it lol. Honestly, none of these are widespread issues and are common/minor issues across all brands with solutions, not X20 Max per se. One issue that crept up recently was the Xiaomi robots navigating into walls instead of cleaning in a straight line. That one has been resolved with a turn on / turn off solution (which you will be doing once a week when performing the basic robot maintenance). Sorry my guy. One thing I learnt is that ChatGPT and gemini etc aren’t the most accurate data collection and analyser when it comes to these review / recommendation type queries. Getting stuck in carpets - if it has tassels, all robots get stuck, so you need to apply a restriction zone around the carpet. All robots struggle with medium and high pile carpets, and it cleans in weird circles or just does random stuff on it. Not sure where Gemini picked up its sources from, tbh. Eg. Docking issue - All brands have this issue, and most of it are due to users and not a manufacturing defect (know what I mean?). Granted, occasionally it’s a lemon hardware. Just think you might need to do some good old research on your own. I’ve had this since launch and I have not had a major issue with the hardware. Most of the minor issues I had was due to how I used it, so it was a learning curve for me in a sense. However, do use Gemini for other brands and I’m sure it’ll list out what feels like alarming issues for any brand or model.

What issues were they having? I’ve got the X20 Max and I don’t recall any major issues on it.

I honestly have questions on the software and cleaning algorithms with EZVIZ. There’s issues on the X20 Max station suction? What issues have you been seeing? I have the X20 Max and it’s working pretty flawlessly. Don’t recall major highlighted issues on the station either (on this sub at least). Drop any questions you might have on the X20 Max and I’ll do my best to help.

Hey there. X20 Max owner. I was considering the Xiaomi models and the X20 Max is a step up in terms of cleaning performance compared to the X20+. Also, hot wash mops and drying saves a lot of time cleaning and maintaining with the station. A robot vacuum is intended to last anywhere between 3 to 5 years, so it’s worthwhile to invest in some additional features you’ll appreciate later on. You might want to check out Dreame L10s ultra pro as well. Similar to the X20 Max, with additional cleaning customisations and a RGB camera (you can watch over the corgis when you’re away haha) Both Dreame and X20 Max allow scheduled cleaning (based on time). You could also tie it up with a Xiaomi home camera and set up instructions to clean when it detects no one in the house after X mins. Both models have tonnes of 3rd party accessories, so you’ll never have to worry about finding replacements. Just make sure you get a good tricut brush for the hairs. Hope you find a good deal. Best of luck.

My personal thoughts - The Pa numbers are marketing gimmicky. There’s a lot of airflow design to be considered. X20 Max has been able to pick up dust easily, even on standard mode. Cleaning pads with hot water - 55 degrees is good enough, not sure how significant the improvement is using 80 degrees. I might add you will probably be switching your mop pads every week and you throw it into the washing machine to wash and clean.

You’re right, a software fix has solved it. I’ve been pretty happy with the X20 Max.

Maintenance is pretty straightforward. I’ve got a lot of 3rd party accessories bought from AliExpress (mop pads, side brush, filters, extra brushes haha) as it’s pretty easy to find and cheap. I run vac and then mop daily, so I do weekly maintenance by changing the mop pads to wash, clean the filter (by knocking the dust out, I can’t bring myself to wash filters), and wipe the sensors + clear brush of any debris. Filters can last for quite a while, maybe 4 months? Xiaomi Mi App calculates by how many hours of usage, so I usually get a notification to consider switching. Brush is about 300 hours, side brush 200 hours, filter is about 150 hours, mop pads are 80 hours.

Haha. It does have some quirks. It does have some trouble navigating heights and drops to an area it can’t get out from. I solved it by adding a barrier so it’s able to clean the area without falling into the no-go zone. As there’s no camera on-board, it does struggle with one chrome base chair I have, and does bump into it. Other than that, no real significant issues. Occasionally bumps into things, but my 2 kids make it impossible for any robot vacuum to navigate through all obstacles they throw on the floor. I know cables are still an issue with models that utilise a camera, so I don’t judge the X20 Max too harshly when it gets a cable stuck in the brush. My home is an open plan, with about 120 sqm of open flooring, so maybe my experience with obstacle avoidance can be a little skewed. But it does well moving around shoes, toys, books, clothes on the floor etc. I’ve been really happy with its performance as a home maintenance support. It doesn’t deep clean, but does really well keeping the home maintained. I only deep clean the home once every 2 to 3 weeks now. Btw. Mopping - spinning mops are good for light stains. But dried in stains will be a problem. I tend to spot wipe these stains, and then have the robot finish it off.

I would recommend getting a dock regardless. It really helps if you want to be hands off from the machine and only need to interact with it occasionally. X20 Max works for me - workhorse, gets the job done well, easy to set up, and it works well with my home as it’s an open plan layout. I’ve got 2 kids so the major things it needs to navigate around is their toys (which is good enough). I’ve got a mix of wooden floors (treated wood), tiles and carpets. No major issues, only common problems faced by all brands haha. 3rd party accessories are really easy to find and it’s pretty cheap, so no issues on replacing brushes and filters on a whim. But don’t forget software though - Xiaomi app is pretty simple, which works well for me. I also have a Dreame L10s Ultra for my aging mum and she finds it absolutely cumbersome. Xiaomi home maps tend to deteriorate after two to three months, and there’s limited options to restore the old map. Also has 3 settings for mop wetness, and that could be an issue if you have flooring that is sensitive to water. Dreame has a lot more options. But I love Xiaomi customer service, so responsive. Roborock is a good option as well. Some are great at vacuuming, some better at mopping, some are better at navigation, some are better at obstacle avoidance. The world is your oyster haha

Hi everyone. So after a year of remote managing the Dreame L10s for my aging mum, I’ve given up and decided to get her a different unit. Seeing issues around Mova and Dreame right now, and I can’t imagine gambling on more frequent remote managing. I currently own the X20 Max and have been really happy with its performance (battery, availability to find 3rd party parts, etc) and overall reliability. Was considering the new flagship for her (or for myself, and I pass her the X20 Max haha) Would love to hear how it’s been, pros and cons would be good. Also, any issues around: 1. Mapping and map degradation - is it easier to restore maps if it gets degraded. 2. Obstacle avoidance - Have they solved the dreaded cable on the floor problem? Not expecting miracles, but would be nice. 3. How is the cleaning algorithm? Stain detection etc I’ve read you can use accessories from the X20, so that’s another positive. Note: The vacuum 5 Pro is currently going for USD 570 in my location. That’s a decent deal worth considering.

Thanks for sharing the link! I read that too, and it’s still good for me. Hoping to get additional reviews before I pull the trigger on it. About the X20 Max, there have been some minor issues, but it was quickly rectified either by myself or customer support (which is pretty responsive over here) Use case - 2200 sqft home, about 1300 cleaning surface. Mostly tiles, rooms are laminated wood, and I have one section of uneven hard tiles. Have 2 kids with long hair, and we all shed hair like dogs over here :) toys, little beads, plastic pieces everywhere. Wife is a baker, so sourdough and yeast everywhere in the kitchen. I run vac before mopping every day or two, with the kitchen on intense. I mostly run vacuum and mop 2x, with deep cleaning. Home is relatively open floor, and the X20 Max has an easy time moving around. It does have an issue with a sofa that has chrome leg, and it bumps into it every once in a while. Carpets with tassels, it has learnt to avoid it after a few times getting tangled in it. I have a slight cliff between living room and balcony, and it fell a couple of times while cleaning (happens randomly), but solved it by adding a virtual barrier. Other than that, it’s been a solid workhorse, set it and forget it. I usually tidy up after the kids go to bed, so I tend to pick up toys etc before running the routine. It does well navigating around toys I leave behind. Issues I’ve had in the past 13 months: 1. Map deterioration - every 3 or 4 months, my map looks weird and the robot doesn’t clean well (it spills over and merges rooms it can’t enter). So now, I do a restore map every week as part of my weekly maintenance. 2. Weird movement - happened once where it did a circular like movement when cleaning the edges, but it was rectified with a soft reset. I normally reset the robot once a week when I do maintenance, just missed this one. 3. Dirty water pump issue - Messaged Xiaomi support, gave some trouble shooting steps, and 3 days later my device received a reboot request. Never had an issue since. Can’t think of anything else really. Let me know if you have further questions.

I genuinely feel they could improve on the app though. Map backups, more map customisations, not limiting custom routines to 5 tasks per routine. Just to name a few.

Just surprised as I’m using the X20 Max, which was the flagship model last year (prior to vacuum pro 5)

C'è infatti. Ha un serbatoio di 80ml che viene caricato alla base a ogni rientro tramite un foro posteriore di carico

È giusto!  Ha un serbatoio di 80ml che viene ricaricato. Sul retro il modello Max è dotato di foro di carico acqua 

I just bought a Xiaomi X20 Max for ~580 USD. This is the third robot I have, and this is the yet only one, that completely eliminated the need to manually clean the floors. If you buy one, make sure that it have a dust collection dock, that also cleans the mop with hot water, and collects dirty water as well. Also, I would’t buy a robot on which the mop doesn’t rotate. A rotating mop makes a huge difference in mopping performance. Also, make sure that parts are available, I would only buy a robot from a reputable brand. These robots are not cheap, and its fair to expect long term usability. And you cannot do that, if you cannot get consumables. You cannot go wrong wit Eufy, Roborock, Dreame, Xiaomi etc. These brands have huge parts availabilty. Just make sure what features the given model has, because there is a huge variety.

I am a new owner of Xiaomi x20 max and I can say for 100% that it has NOT an internal water tank. It wets the mops in the station with warm water.

If you take the robot and you turn it upside down and you take off the mop pads, do you see any way e.g. holes for water to be dispensed? Also try to pause it once it leaves the omni station and shake it.. You can hear no water. You can also weight it and you will see that it loses no weight as it would have done if it were to lose water from an internal tank 😁
