Xiaomi - X20+

I went with the slightly cheaper Xiaomi X20+ their products are similar to dreame because ~~they literally own dreame~~ spent $563 million on funding dreame [https://www.mi.com/uk/product/xiaomi-robot-vacuum-x20-plus/](https://www.mi.com/uk/product/xiaomi-robot-vacuum-x20-plus/) Did everything I needed for just £300 just make sure you set the cold drying to 5-6 hours instead of the default 4. If you're a benchmark guy you can visit [https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/](https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/) which from what I've found is the best comparison website so far, just translate it using chrome or brave to English. He tests obstacle avoidance, mopping, hair pick-up, basically everything. His youtube is here [https://www.youtube.com/@SmarthomeAssistent](https://www.youtube.com/@SmarthomeAssistent) My only regret is that I didn't buy a robot with a video feed, only because I'm a big kid and wanted to control it while upstairs.

Can second this, also using the x20+ though i don't think a lot of websites have reviewed it, I believe since they now own dreame they are a copycat of one of the dreame models with slightly less features but better price point

Yes, but X20+ doesn't have anti-tangle features, so you will end up with the main brush full of hair after each cleaning session and you have to manually clean the brush after that. Roborock Q10 S5+ is the continuation of Q8 Max and is around the same price (better to check it out), and it has a comb system to detangle hair from the main brush.

X20+ is enough, and buy Dreame's or Xiaomi's Tricut brush for detangling hair to replace Xiaomi's original main brush because Xiaomi's vacuums are made by them, so generally, it's compatible.

Get the Roborock QR 798 or Q10 PF/VF or its + variant if you want an automatic empty station included. I'm in Southeast Asia, too! I have had a Q7 TF (similar to Q10 without a vibrating mop and obstacle avoidance) for three weeks, and I love it. I mainly use it to clean hard floors and low-pile rugs. - Q10 has two versions PF (lifting mop) and VF (vibrating mop similar to S8 Max and Saros 10). The + variants included the auto-empty station. - QR 798 is similar to QRevo S but slightly cheaper at least in my country 🇮🇩 - Xiaomi X20+ quite similar to Dreame L10 series and cheaper than QR 798 and L10 (in 🇮🇩). It already has obstacle avoidance features, but unlike Roborock Q7TF and Q10 PF/VF, it doesn't have an anti-hair tangle feature. - Xiaomi X 20 Max - Dreame L10s Ultra gen 2 All these robots use structured light sensors for obstacle avoidance. Unlike the AI camera sensor, it performs less than the latter. Structured light performs worse in detecting very small objects or objects on a high pile and carpet with complex patterns.

Apparently they are different kinds, like water collecting, degreasing, etc. And it uses different in different places so if there is a mess it is not smeared everywhere, just that room or zone. Yes, it's a gimmick. Just ordered a X20+ and it is possibly the cheapest mop washing device. I could spend 3-4-5 times as much but I don't see the added value in that. Of course the most expensive ones will be full of gimmicls.

A bit late to this thread but have a look at the xiaomi robots. I have an xiaomi x20 plus very impressed for the price

Xiaomi is good. Using the X20+ now and it vacuums and mops

How about Xiaomi? They have various models. X20+ is the one I'm using. You can consider if you have no qualms using a Chinese brand

Xiaomi X20+ is a solid pick and comes with a good app. Also look at Dreame L10s Plus or Roborock Q Revo if you catch them on sale. All good for light pet hair and rugs. 🤙🏼

I bought a Xiaomi x20+ which vacuums and washes for €360, it works perfectly on a 160m2 house, it fulfills its mission for €360, the models 4 or 5 times more expensive, undoubtedly have additional options or a more bling bling finish, but I remain convinced that the hardware inside is almost identical. It's good that there are much more expensive devices for the same result, this allows everyone to be happy with their purchase.

Hello to you. I have been using the x20+ for 15 days now and I have not yet found any fault with this robot. Yes maybe the base for washing mops gets dirty quite quickly but it's really just for nitpicking!! This robot is just astonishingly efficient and the application is very well done. I am like you happy to walk in white socks on the tiles and that my socks stay white!! Lol.

I have a Xiaomi x20+, even if I believe today that all models use the same technologies, I chose Xiaomi for its price and, for the software environment that I already use. It is my first robot vacuum cleaner and I am truly amazed by its working capabilities. It is quiet and effective on my tiled and laminate floor, I have 1 dog and 2 cats and today have a clean and vacuumed floor. I am really satisfied with this purchase for €350 and this type of device is well worth it.

We have similar carpet and our xiaomi x20+ handles it well. This model has 3 vacuuming strenghts and we set it to vacuum maximum only on carpet(you can choose areas on app)

X20+ is inferior because it does not recognize carpet and also it does not have hot air drying compared to the X10+ or the X20 Pro or Max. For me, the X20 Max is the best. I have two x10+ and one X20+

I just got the X20+ last weekend and my husband who was not too sure if it would be worth the price is heads over heels over it, even pets it like it's a dog and says "good boy" everytime he passes by it's station xD One of the things people say the X10+ is better is the hot air drying but I was researching it and it's not floor hot air drying, rather hot air drying the mops when it's at the station. Mine came with 4h default (cold) air drying and the mops are still a bit wet by the end. I'm not sure if it's worth it putting it for like 8h or just remove the pads and leave them to dry by the sun or something since it's winter and it's not too strong. Other than that it's super effective and I even tested on an area I was sure I had to clean by hand and it cleaned it after a few passes so I'm super happy with mine.

I love my X20 plus replacement consumables on Ali express are cheap as chips. only niggle I have is the Air drying and if you have thick carpets then mop heads drag... So have the carpets vacumed first and then hard floor areas and then when the air drying starts, (I think the British weather would need the air dryer to be on like 6 hours, default is 4 hours, which can be changed) I just pull the mop heads off and take the cloth off the velcro and just put them on the radiators, done in an hour. I have also added zoflora to the clean water tank a capful against the manufacturers guidance but hell it's amazing cleans and smells fantastic. The mapping is great and I have been super impressed with the battery life.

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 recently bought the Xiaomi x20 plus very decent and highly recommend... Lidar, mopping and self emptying

Bought the Xiaomi X20+ some weeks ago as it was on sale where I live. Best purchase ever and truly the best feeling ever to wake up to clean floors every morning. It even has a quiet mode which only gives some transient background noise while in use. The X20+ has different hoover/mop intensities and empties the dust/dirty water by itself into a hoover bag/dirty water tank. I only empty the dust bag/tank every second week, and remove any hairs tangled in the hoover roller. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the advise. I’m now considering getting a X20+ 😅 A bit more expensive, but the auto cleaning dock will justify the upgrade for sure.

I ended up getting the X20+

There are some differences. - S appears to have simpler sensor in the front, but it does have an additional sensor on the side to help contour objects. The X doesn’t have sensor on its side, it relays solely on the front sensor, which looks like a camera (but it’s not a RGB camera) - S has an ultrasonic sensor to auto detect carpets. X doesn’t, you need to manually draw carpet areas in the app. Also, S20+ comes in black too 😆

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.

If you want to touch your robot less, an autoempty station is useful. If you want it to mop well the X20+ would be a better choice as it has spinning mops and with regular use, your floors will have a nice sheen to it.

Yes it is. Just buy the dreame antitangle TriCut brush and use it with the X20+

For just vacuuming, the Q8 Max will be better. For a combo robot, I’d choose the Xiaomi x20+. Please run your x20+ on the vacuuming first before mopping mode to protect the vacuum fan motor~

Where in Europe are you? I’ve seen the prices greatly fluctuate by country or region in Europe. I think Xiaomi would be a pretty good option. The X20+ is compatible with the anti-tangle TriCut brush.

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 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.

The Xiaomi X20+ is best suited for smaller homes (<60sqm) as it lacks an onboard water tank and will be less water efficient. The difference in obstacle avoidance between LDS-only models and robots with good obstacle avoidance firmware and an RGB camera with an LED fill light for darker environments is night and day. My LDS-only Xiaomi would always get tricked by a floor to ceiling mirror and think there’s a magical place beyond it due to the limitations of LDS. My Dreame L40S Pro Ultra (same 110° LDS sensor but with an RGB camera and fill light) was able to accurately tell that the mirror was actually a mirror wall and after cleaning that room, correctly identify it as a wall (the LDS and the RGB camera would fight while it’s cleaning the room over whether or not it’s a wall or a magical portal but it wised up when it finished cleaning that room).

Xiaomi X20+ is better for homes <50sqm because there’s no onboard water tank. I’d get Dreame’s L10S Pro Ultra Gen 2 because it has much more features that work compared to the other robots in this price range. Ecovacs’ T50 Pro Omni has navigation issues due to an embedded lidar and obstacle avoidance issues because it has an RGB camera but no led fill light for dark environments. It can also only map up to 100sqm which wouldn’t be suitable for larger homes.

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+

The Xiaomi X20+ can also use the same antitangle brush.

The x20+ is going to be a pretty good budget choice for you.

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.

We went for a budget option, Xiaomi x20+, and have zero issues so far after 6 months. It does what it says on the tin. We have a large dog with long hair that’s sheds a lot.

Saya pun dri Malaysia, baru beli x20+. So far, sangat suka robot ni.. tapi kan, nak tanya tuan. Ada tak pewangi lantai yg sesuai ( mcm dreame multi floor solution ke) . Ada pengalaman tak letak ni? Sbb xiaomi mention tak boleh letak kan..

Does it have anti hair tangle feature? I bought x20 plus and facing hair issue. Any accessories available for it?

After experiencing both a Xiaomi robot (X20+) and now an iRobot Combo J9+, I feel compelled to share this review. I had a Xiaomi X20+ for three days. While it worked, it was amazing. The LIDAR makes a HUGE difference in navigation—in every sense. With LIDAR, the robot is more delicate when touching objects, gives you a much clearer view of where it is and what it’s doing, and offers several “cool” features (that, in the end, don’t make that much of a difference). The mop washing and drying feature is incredible and very useful. However, it takes an eternity to dry. Models with hot air and water should be better. Regarding pets: the robot failed to detect pet poop on a white floor in a clear space—and spread it all over. That alone makes it unreliable for pet owners. However, after three days, it simply stopped working and wouldn’t turn on again. What started as a dream turned into a nightmare. Fortunately, I was able to return it and get my money back. After that, I realized I needed to make a logical decision, not one based on my excitement about the latest and most advanced technologies. That led me to buy the iRobot Combo J9+. Yes, aside from better pet poop detection (which seems more effective on the iRobot), the iRobot is, in many ways, “dumber.” Mapping takes longer, its navigation can leave you wondering if it will actually complete the job, and you may encounter some bugs. But it does what we need: vacuum and mop. Given the technology it comes with—and considering its limitations—it performs its tasks well. It goes where it should, returns to the dock, and **accepts chemical cleaning products in the water tank**, which I found absurd that Xiaomi doesn’t allow. So why did I choose to pay more for an iRobot instead of buying another brand (like Xiaomi or Roborock) with more technology at half the price? The short answer: the limitations in my country. Here in Brazil, everything is VERY expensive. The iRobot J9+ costs the equivalent of 7–8 times the minimum wage. In the U.S., it would cost around half a minimum wage. Yes, it’s shocking—**every decent robot vacuum is extremely expensive here**. That means, for the price of one iRobot, I could buy multiple other models with more features. However, apart from iRobot, neither Xiaomi nor Roborock (let alone other brands) have a solid legal presence in Brazil. So forget about warranties or refunds after 7 days—**the risk is just too high**. Xiaomi’s support basically doesn’t exist, and their documentation is terrible. You can’t even reinstall or update the firmware properly. In summary, I chose iRobot (even though it’s more expensive and has fewer features) because I **don’t want to risk losing 7-8 times the minimum wage** on a robot that could break after just a few days. I was lucky that it happened within three days—it could just as easily have been 30 days or a year later. Stop treating robot vacuums like gaming computers or fun gadgets. Their job is to vacuum and mop. They handle dirt and water, and the more tech you add (especially tech that often doesn’t make a big difference), the higher the chance something will break. So, consider these factors before choosing a robot vacuum, in order of importance: * Does the brand have legal representation in your country? * Will you be able to get another robot or support after the marketplace’s safety window expires? * Or, if you’re rich and can buy a new vacuum every six months, then go ahead and choose the one that entertains you the most. At the end of the day, they all vacuum and mop—some with more issues, some with fewer, requiring more or less user intervention. **Choose the kind of headache you’re willing to deal with.** Currently, there is no robot vacuum brand or model that delivers cutting-edge technology, reliability, and proper professional support all in one. Good luck.

I have Xiaomi x20+. I have no problems with it. Got it for 365 💶. Just a regular vacuum who can self empty and who can wash itself. Obstacle avoidance is fine, but it has no side sensor. I turned obstacle avoidance to minimum to improve cleaning efficiency. I also ordered Roborock qrevo Plus for 456 💶. Roborock has more advanced obstacle avoidance, more configuration and cleaning settings in software, mop who can extend to get corners I've previously owned Roborock and by cleaning I always liked it better. I like it's navigation better.

I have Xiaomi x20+. It's great vacuum for home. If I'd have budget I'd buy Roborock q revo s, bit it costs 230€ more than Xiaomi. Roborock has more advanced features in app and side sensor if compared to Xiaomi. I'd buy Xiaomi again since I don't feel like paying that big difference is worth it. Xiaomi costed me 365€.

I just bought this device but I face some issues.. Its just start cleaning + mopping randomly. It s set up only scedule M - F at 9.30 am. do you face this issue?

Seconding Xiaomi if you have a limited budget. I have an X20+ and it’s the best appliance I’ve bought this year.

In terms of value for money, the Xiaomi X20+ has got to be S-Tier

Swift response. Thanks for that. Unfortunately the only available models where I live in are the Xiaomi x20 max(550 usd), and the highest spec would be the eufy x10 pro Omni which is 275 usd higher. I had already purchased an x20 + before and it worked great and still is. I believe your x20 max started going ham after the firmware update if I'm not wrong. Regardless, idk whether to still pursue with the x20max as it's cheap and sufficient. I have a very large house and I doubt the eufy can handle it. Besides it doesn't have much features compared to the Xiaomi.

It's fine yeah, couldnt compare to the others as this is my first robot vacuum. So far it has been great, house is kept clean, scheduled cleaning works wonderful, notifications on my phone are prompt. Just make sure you pick up any plastic bags or small items from the floor that could get stucked when it vacuums. It'll send a notification if it gets stuck.

Not too sure about this as my carpet doesnt really move. I have to test this lol

No I have not face that issue. Have you checked the scheduled cleanup setting and see if have any duplicates?

Not sure if you can set it to every second monday, skipping weeks, but you can definitely define/select an area in the schedule.

Hey yeah it has been great. No issues so far. Set it up initially, and didnt bother with it anymore. Just let it run its scheduled cleaning.

Congrats!!! How is it so far

Hey, vacuuming on turbo (which the level I always set to) could be a tad high.. But I dont mind though lol

Suction power is great actually, it once sucked my curtains and it lifted itself like an inch from the floor lol. As for long hairs, how long is long? It'll suck just fine, but the issue would be too much hair will just cause the vacuum brush roller to get stuck after few cleaning sessions. I believe that applies to any robot vacuum. I always clean the brush rollers every 5-10 sessions or once a week

I cant say how long it'll last, but what we know is these kinds of stuff will breakdown. But so far, ot has been great to me. With technology, it is always about making things easier for us. I could say technology makes us lazy lol 😂. That's the trade off, there's always two sides of a coin. Just which side you'd prefer to be. And also the price, I couldnt justify the more expensive brands with more bells and whistle, but I also couldnt justify the cheaper ones, without mop and/or built in tanks, so I settled with this mid priced one.

Oh saya tak letak pun. Mungkin boleh letak dgn kuantiti yg sikit ja kot..

Maybe you need to set to "high coverage" in the cleaning strategy settings? Perhaps you have "less collision" set up there. Try changing it back and forth and set to high coverage strategy.

Hi no issue so far with smell, you can set the fan to run from 2 hour to 12 hours. I set it to 8. The fan sound is also very minimal I can barely hear it unless it's really really quiet in my house

Hi, sorry, I'm replying in english. I used google translate to understand your question. First you need to download xiaomi home and pair tour vacuum with the app. First setup, the vacuum will map your home accordingly. Then, once it has created the layout map of your ground floor, go to the settings (three dots on top right), then under map management, there's area editor. Choose that. Once in area editor, you can press "divide" and use your finger to place the divider, you can also make the line longer or shorter by holding the red circle with double arrow. If you want to restrict an area (you dont want the vacuum to go that particular area), under the map management, choose "virtual wall or restricted area" .. That's all!

I got an X20+. Well worth the extra for self emptying and cleaning of mop pads.

It's always the Flagship.... I actually pre-ordered Max as I bought my parents the X20+ and the additional max features will be useful to my conditions. And yes, you should be already able to buy the anti tangle brush for cca 30usd and it should fit the X20+, or so I've read somewhere.

No necesitas secar las mopas por 8 horas. En 2 puedes tenerlas. Yo lo tengo en 4 horas y tampoco molesta tanto (por no decir nada). Que la aspiradora tenga cámara y la puedas usar como monitoreo no lo veo efectivo salvo que pongas a caminar a la aspiradora. Puedes usar cámaras y sensores de inundación que te avisen al móvil por ejemplo. No creo que te valga la pena el cambio teniendo ya la xiaomi y teniendo que gastar más dinero. Como te han dicho por aquí te vale más esperar un par de años y dar un buen salto.

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20+. Great design, intelligent object avoidance, low noise, flexible Vacuum, mop, vacuum+ mop setup, ultra fast room detectiong

I did not find the X20+ having trouble with a mirror. Indeed it does not have an onboard tank but will rinse the pads after 5, 8 or 10sqm. According to the device my appartement is about 60 sqm which it vacuums in about an hour, so you might be right in you assessment. Aligning furniture helps mightily reduce time.

I can only speak for Xiaomi X20+ - its not quite officially supported in HA but you can get it running via dreame integration https://preview.redd.it/47ni49f4ao5f1.png?width=1016&format=png&auto=webp&s=84d7ce595d418dccb92d4634613849aa9d70c630 Keep in mind that my card is still work in progress lol
