Xiaomi - Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum (2nd Generation / S50/S55)

Had a Xiaomi that I bought on Aliexpress before they rebranded as Roborock in 2018 that lasted about 4 years, then bought a Roborock and it's still doing great after another 3-4 years. It does mopping too, and I've replaced 1 wheel. It runs 4-5 times a week with pets.

My/the first Roborock from 2017 still works great.

Been using the Mi one since lockdown. Maid ko tabhi se GPL diya hai.... I was insisting on buying it when it was on a flash sale for 17000, but mom was only convinced during COVID and I ended up paying 20k... Still worth it..... Today however I'd recommend the newer ones with self clean and vibrating mop at minimum... Will upgrade to those when this one dies ....

Been using Mi since 2020. First issue popped up on 2025 and technician came home with in 2 days to fix. We are in Kottayam. So Mi is good from my experience.

Mi for more than 6 years, satisfied with the vacuming but mopping is useless, brushes and other consumable parts are available from Amazon , service has been okay , had one motor replacement done from MI but took a long time for the part to come

Yup, that's the answer, Valetudo the only truly local robot vaccum intégration in home assistant, and the l10s works wonders (from what i heard, I'm running a cheap Xiaomi mija robot vaccum on Valetudo) Roborock do have a "local polling" intégration, but you still need to have your robot be able to talk to roborock servers.

Mine (a Xiaomi Mii from about 8 years ago, though it wasn't the newest and most advanced model even back then) has a voice that will complain when it gets stuck and it sends a notification to my phone as well, so you wouldn't need to keep checking it.

I've had the same Xiaomi Mii for the last 8 years or something. I'm extremely satisfied with it. But it really depends on things like clutter, obstacles like cords, and even how particular you're about spotless floor (imo, it's spotless, but I've seen posts by people who just like to vacuum themselves for a more perfect cleaning). I'm kinda of a slob and also get very stressed with the noise from the vacuum in the same room as me, so a robot I can schedule to run when I'm not at home is very convenient. And now it's just 2nd nature to remove things from the floor (even if that means flinging it onto the closest high ground) so we rarely have problems with the robo half-choking on a sock. Cleaning the rollers off long hair is annoying, though.

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.
