X20 Pro

I bought one of those ~2 months ago and it’s been great so far. I have cats so my tip for you is to clean under the robot after the first few times you run it to see how much fur/hair got stuck under it. I have a pretty big place, so I clean after every run. Other than that, be careful not to vacuum over wet spots, mine tried to vacuum in a place that I had spilled the cats water and it ended up ruining the trash bag, it’s super inexpensive and easy to change. You should probably buy a few spare trash bags and other parts, you can find some kits online for sale

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.

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.

For smaller homes (<50-60sqm) the x20+ is better suited as it lacks an internal water tank which is generally less water efficient and only dries the mops with room temperature air (not helpful if you want to prevent mildew growth in the mops). The x20 pro has an internal water tank which is better suited for a larger home like yours and dries the mops with warm air which does better at preventing mildew growth. As for fur tangling removal, the dreame TriCut brush or the Xiaomi x20 max anti tangle brush will work well. I have a long haired corgi and use the TriCut brush with my Xiaomi. It works great~

Xiaomi X20 pro new for 1400 works perfect

This was a nice purchase for me. I also got it for sale. Tech is nice hardware is nice. Sensors does it's job - always checks the corners. Vacuum could have been a bit more stronger for the carpets. The new version has hair tangle remover, this doesn't. That's a good add to have in the latest model. 1 year now, keeping the house tidy - I only hard clean my place one a week every other day the robo vac does it.

I just bought the Xiaomi Vacuum X20 PRO and I LOVE IT!!! The price is about 300-350 usd
