Xiaomi - X20 Pro

I have the x20 Pro and have installed the tricut brush. It is compatible and works well. Very simple to swap over the brush. Well designed in that way.

I just gotten myself Xiaomi X20 Pro.. living in an apartment size of 112sqm with no kids but 4 furkids.. took +-50mins to vacuum or mop the whole house, at which when it return to the OMNI it still have more than 50% of battery.. which is a wow factor for me.. so far it has been doing wonders though there were some corners not covered but nah im not that particular as its quite expected to most robot vacuum due to their limitations.. but for the price range of $405(got it during sales), im really contented.. 🙃🙂

I just got the x20 pro, in the kitchen it doesnt go all the way upto the unit edges. In the rest of the house it does the edges fine, i have rescanned multiple times. Anyone know how to sort this?

Depends where you are based .. Roborocks are great and so are some of the Dreame ones.. I recently bought a Xiaomi x20 plus.. which in the UK is for £299 and is great, just has cold air to dry the mops and no water tank.. Goes to the base to wash the mops every so often.. The X20 max and Pro have heated blowers if that is something that is important. I just remove the mop heads and place it on the radiator. Thee Dreame and Roborocks I believe were partnered with Xiaomi at some point or have worked together in the past. The advantage of the Xiaomi is the value as it has both camera and Lidar navigation cheaper then other competitors..

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 X10+, X20+, X20 Pro are compatible with the antitangling dreame TriCut brush which works well with my long haired corgi’s fur and long hair in my home.

These are combo models. I am unsure if the X10 and the X20 are compatible with the TriCut brush.

Mopping depends on how well it is implemented. Half a centimeter is nothing for most robot vacuums. A centimeter tall carpet will be fine. 1. Yes 2. Most combo robots have the option of vacuuming the carpets first before the mop gets wetted. 3. You can also set it to avoid carpets or ask it to avoid those specific carpets by drawing a no go zone in there. 4. Depends on what you opt into. Visual data collected by robots with an RGB camera are generally processed on the device and aren’t transmitted to the server. If you opt into the robot taking photos of what it deems to be obstacles or taking photos and videos of your pets, the photos and videos it takes will be uploaded into the cloud. Generally, this is encrypted information. By default, these features are disabled. Remote video viewing is also disabled by default. For those privacy conscious , I do not recommend ecovacs. https://www.kaspersky.com.au/blog/ecovacs-robot-vacuums-hacked-in-real-life/34514/ LDS information collected by the infrared camera and infrared light will be uploaded to the cloud whenever it is on so the map is continuously updated and you can check the live location of the robot when it is cleaning. EU customers will have their data stored in a server in Germany. For those very privacy conscious and tech-savvy, Valetudo is an option. This is an irreversible process that will make your robot run locally. Good cost effective models are the Xiaomi X20 Pro and the X20 Max. The best top of the line combo models at the top of your budget that I’d recommend would be the MOVA Z50 Ultra (€999) if you want a robot with a track type roller mop that mops similar to an upright wet dry vacuuming mop machine. This is currently the best robot for those with mostly hard floors. It can also clean spills well too but it’ll take longer than mopping yourself.

Get a good wet dry vacuum (which really should be called mops) for deep cleaning and a nice combo that can run everyday. Xiaomi is a popular budget choice if you’re thinking about the QRevo. I’d look at the Xiaomi X20 Pro.

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.

Only the X20+ and the X20 use room temperature air to dry the mops. The X10+, X20 Pro, and the X20 Max all use hot air to dry the mops. All robots have bags in the base station as the bag protects the base station’s vacuum fan motor from dust clogging it, unlike bagless base stations which can be damaged by debris collected. For consumables (TriCut brush, mops, and dustbag), get them from AliExpress or Taobao (my preferred method if your region is supported by Taobao and shipping isn’t too expensive). It’s much cheaper and will be the same (if it isn’t counterfeit).

Many robots cannot mop with warm or hot water. This is currently a new feature on upright vacuum mop combos. Currently there is only hot water mop washing on most models. The roborock Saros 10 claims to mop with hot water up to 70° and the Saros 10R claims to mop with warm water. I am skeptical of this claim as it doesn’t use a roller mop where it feasibly could live up to this claim. There is the upcoming MOVA Z50 Ultra that can mop with constant 36° water as it has a track type roller mop which makes this claim achievable. Generally, most robot vacuums also do fail when it comes to living up to the hot water mop washing claim. Dreame made models do reach the advertised temperature but it is mainly only for a moment and it’ll usually be washing the mops with lukewarm to warm water In the EU market, I’d recommend Xiaomi as the most cost effective robot vacuum mop combo brand unless you’d like the extra bells and whistles such as hot water mop washing + mop extension where it’ll be better to consider brands like dreame. Most of its combo models are compatible with the anti-tangling dreame TriCut brush. It works well in my home with a long haired corgi and people with long hair. The Xiaomi x20 pro looks rather nice. For obstacle avoidance, please tidy up your cables. Most LDS-only robots are rather stupid when it comes to reflective or transparent walls. I recommend models with good obstacle avoidance if your cat makes messes robots cannot clean and must avoid at all costs. This usually requires RGB cameras. If the best obstacle avoidance is what you’re looking for: Narwal Freo Z ultra or any of their RGB camera enabled robots. It currently seems to have the best (not perfect!) smart cleaning mode. Its strength lies in its good mopping and anti-tangling but sadly not vacuuming. Dreame RGB camera enabled models starting from the X30 Ultra and onwards. MOVA is a subbrand of dreame so RGB camera enabled robots from the P10 Pro Ultra and newer will perform similarly as it will use the same obstacle avoidance software. Dreame is a rather good all rounder combo robot with the best edge cleaning. Antitangling performance is also rather good. Eufy S1 Pro and other models that will use the “3D Matrix” binocular infrared 3D dToF sensor array. Roborock is also a good all rounder with the easiest app to use but it will not be as good avoiding obstacles such as cables and pet messes compared to other brands, especially on carpets. For self cleaning: Dreame/MOVA models with the AceClean dryboard where water jets are used to clean the mops. The x50 ultra will be best at self cleaning including cleaning its own filter when autoemptying but it is currently outside your budget. > dreame models that use the self driven wipers on the mop washboard ≈ roborock models using a mop washboard with motorized wipers ≈ NarWal’s mop washboard where they flush the washboard with water before and after washing the mops.

The Xiaomi X20 Pro can be considered for 549 if you don't need an RGB camera for obstacle avoidance. It works with the Dreame anti-tangle TriCut brush which works great for fur in my home.

For a smart combo: Dreame’s L40S Pro Ultra won’t have great battery life (a reviewer found a rate of 3% per square meter) as it uses the same power hungry computer chip as the X50 ultra but the self cleaning capabilities it has (cleaning the dustbin’s filter which most other robots can’t do, and a much better self cleaning mop washboard) with the fur compression feature it has when it vacuums which is great for heavy shedders means it’s worth the tradeoff. If you want better battery life with the same features, the L50 Pro Ultra has a 6400 mah battery like the X50 Ultra. The obstacle avoidance on these two models and the X50 should be the same as the X40 ultra now since it’s pretty mature. For a budget choice, I’d look at Xiaomi’s X20 Pro or the X20 Max. They won’t have as good obstacle avoidance as it only uses structured light but the prices (£399 and £499 respectively) can’t be beat for its quality.

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 X20 Pro or the X20 Max are good choices! But it seems they only have one year of warranty. Dreame and MOVA now offer 3 years of warranty.

I find the build quality to be rather sturdy in my own experience.

No it really isn’t. I think the worst warranty lengths are in markets like Hong Kong and Macao as all the major brands sell at the same prices as the EU but only offer one year of warranty (dreame, roborock, ecovacs, and Xiaomi all do this).

The Xiaomi X20 Pro is the same price and will do much better since it has a lidar tower for better navigation and can dry mops with warm air to prevent mildew, which I recommend for damp climates like the UK.

If you want a vacuum only robot, I’d look at the AEG RX9-2-4ANM https://www.robocleaners.com/en/aeg-rx9-2-4anm.html (Not an affiliate link). This robot won't ao very well tor dealing with hair and fur on the brush roller but this is the best robot vacuum if you're only considering vacuuming performance (along with the Dyson VisNav which is considerably more expensive but the thicker roller means it’s less prone to tangles). If you want an autoempty station, I’d look at the roborock S8+, Roborock Q5/Q8 Max+, or the eufy E20. If you want a combo, I'd recommend the Dreame L10S Ultra Gen 2 (599), Xiaomi X20 Max (539), the Xiaomi X20 Pro (439), the Xiaomi X10+ (399) as these robots are better suited for larger homes (<60-100sqm) as it has an internal water tank so it won't need to constantly go back to the base station to clean the mops. The Xiaomi X20+ lacks an onboard water tank and must rewet the mops and can become dry when mopping before it resets it. This is generally less water efficient which is why I recommend the previous models. I’d recommend the Xiaomi X20+ for homes smaller than 50-60sqm. All of these robots are compatible with the dreame anti-tangle TriCut brush which works great with my long haired corgi’s fur and long hair in my home.

Interesting, I was investigating and the P10 is not sold in Europe, you say it is the same model as the Dreame L40 Ultra? I also have the Xiaomi Vacuum X20 Pro and some Roborock models like the Qrevo on the list.

Got my mum to agree to upgrading to a Xiaomi X20 Pro, it's amazing. These things are worth every penny

Yeah, so they are either refurbished 2nd+ hand and/or stolen. I'm just skeptic like that. If the X20+ is doing its job, keep your money and let the little robot do its work. I did tons of research before I finally bought mine on Monday - an X20 Pro - I was going to the 20+, but they were out of them and had the Pro at roughly the same price. And I'm extremely happy with it so far. I did wonder about the top premium robots, including the Dreame X40, but in the end for my general needs it was going to be expensive overkill with honestly not much of a big difference on the end results. The only way to get "proper cleaning" is by manually doing so. The robots are mainly maintenance assistance and simplifying the actual proper cleaning you could/would/should do at least every few weeks. Keep your money and when you move out, buy whatever upgraded version you might want.

Another major difference is that X20 Pro, just like X20+, doesn't have an internal water tank. The new X20 Max, like the old X10+, does have an internal water tank.

They're coming down in price especially for less known models. Xiaomi have a really popular one thats like £400 in the UK https://www.mi.com/global/product/xiaomi-robot-vacuum-x20-pro/ It has most features the four figures one have and a very strong suction

We have the X20 Max and the X20 Pro what's the difference? Suction power from 6000pa to 8000pa? On their website I can't see the price tag.

Xiaomi X20 Pro. I've used it before and I feel like it feels good to use and it's good value for money.

X20 Max has extendable mop hand, meaning it can reach inner walls compared to X20 Pro. It also has hot drying mode instead of normal air dry. X20 Pro has a higher suction only.

I've got a Xiaomi x20pro, currently I have it setup to vacuum one time a week and Thursday is a full power/mopping day, is that gonna last okay-ish? (I just got this like two days ago)

Narval best mama nannu adigithe, personally we have been using Xiaomi mop pro for more than a year now, no complaints at all(maybe mopping can be a bit better) But I have been hearing a lot of good things about Narval, if I was in the market for a robo mop now I would seriously consider it... Also it is an Indian company I guess so that is a plus point..

They reduced water consumption in the newer X30 and X40 models. They are supposed to be able to detect stains and schedule ancillary jobs using additional water only if required. In those cases the robots would finish the main job first, return to the station and then complete ancillary tasks, i.e. re-mopping of stained areas. In my opinion all the high-end models have serious issues; Eufy S1 Pro, Narwal Z ultra, Roborock Curv, Dreame X40. I'd never recommend any of these models to friends/family. Just get a Xiaomi X20 Plus/Pro/Max. Tried, tested and easy to maintain architecture. Also, they have "realistic" obstacle avoidance, i.e. object recognition. That is they will confidently and smoothly run over small objects, pet faeces and spills 100% of the time. High-end models spend a lot of effort second-guessing their environment, leading to erratic cleaning patterns and inconsistent results. Instead of running over a pile of dog shit 100% of the time, they'll do it 50%, 20% or perhaps even just 5% of the time. That doesn't really help anyone. Vacuuming and mopping shit all over the place 5% of the time is still 5% too much. Small and wet object avoidance is a problem that should be solved by the user, not by the robot.
