Mi Robot Vacuum with Mop Review (2020 Model) Pros and cons

 

hi guys this is shubham and in this article let's do the review of this mi robert vacuum that i've been actually using for the past two weeks what do i feel about this one and guys if you recall i actually had the original me vacuum that was about three years old again watch that video because i feel uh it's very close to that in a lot of areas i thought that this will be a huge improvement compared to that one this one actually can do mopping that the old one could not do uh but the mopping is very average but uh before i give you my 


verdict and what do i feel about this let's have a look at this and i'll break it down between what do i like and what are the things that i do not like so guys this is uh the vacuum and here it actually has a sensor so it just does not bump and stuff it just goes it knows and it actually has too many uh wave here also we have one more sensor i'll show you when we switch it on this actually scans the area 

 and if you go here bottom again we have some sensors here and this brush is there and you can also actually remove this and clean this area uh it actually the wheels go up and down as you can see and this is a good thing but with the wet mop i don't like it i'll show you the wet mop also later on so the wet mop actually attaches at the back of this one and again as you can see it has a lot of sensors here here here here so that it knows where it is going actually it maps it one thing i don't like is that i don't know why xiaomi did 

 this as you can see first of all it's in black color and this is a glossy plastic that they're using and constantly you have to wipe it it becomes so dirty actually it's hand stains i don't know very poor choice of the glossy plastic using on a vacuum cleaner coming to the wet bob we have this accessory and you get these actually too you can just take it on here on this like this and this go back and you attach this one like this it's attached now you have the wet mopping option but you just can't use it like that you have to also change this internal tray and that does come back and use this one this actually here you can fill

 in water in this one and this is a two in one tray and you have to put this one i'm going to say that one dust compartment has been installed so now you can use that mopping functionality so you have to change this and removing this is very easy just press this and take it out i would say the dry cleaning stuff is a lot better than the wet mopping so guys it's charging why it's dark and you can invoke it via the smartphone app or you can just press this and we'll start cleaning it and it actually scans the whole area so it knows exactly where

 it is uh using all its sensors uh so it will uh just scan the entire room and do the cleaning as you can see let's say now like uh let it go a little bit away from the charging dock and i'll give you an idea let's say i just want to pause it and i want it to go back to its stock automatically i can just hit this and pause it oops here and if i press this home button it should go back to the dock to charge it takes a couple of 

 seconds about 30 seconds for it to go back to the dock but if you just leave it on the auto mode once the cleaning is done it automatically goes back to the dock and this works almost 95 of the time i would say unless you have lifted it manually then it gets confused as you can see now found the dock and now it should automatically go there and start charging and this works about 95 percent of the only time it does not work is that if you have manually lifted the vacuum cleaner then it gets confused and now it should start charging 
automatically starting to charge as you can see so guys uh doing the dry uh cleaning and as you can see it does really good on these hard floors like this and the cleanup is actually really good it picks up even minute dust yes it does take quite a bit of time that is something that i noticed but one area is that it's trying 

to actually climb this and it might have difficulty as you can see so this hasn't improved from the 2017 model as you can see if you have a small i was expecting that this would improve sometimes in this drive mode it actually goes up but if you have that wet mop it simply does not climb that area as you can see it will try to climb this area but if i have the wet mop it can't even climb up this area so and get stuck so that is one corn that i have noticed if your house has some elevations like this it might get stuck in some areas so i was expecting that this new model uh would be better than the old one that is not the case so guys uh with the app you can actually control the speed so let's do that uh by default it will when you just press it like this without using the app it also start at standard so this is the sound this is standard guys sound let me go to the 

silent mode now this is supposed to be the silent mode and let me just switch to the medium mode now definitely a lot louder and finally let me go to the turbo mode again it gets dark as i've told you this is the turbo mode makes quite a bit of noise in the turbo and medium let me switch back to the standard this is the standard and finally this is the silent so this is not the most silent vacuum i would say so guys now i have put the uh what do you say uh vacuum and mop one and even the mop have attached here so i'm gonna actually invoke it via the app so let's see the vacuuming and mopping you can also just put it for just mopping while this but this will give you an idea about the mopping uh it actually rotates a couple of times so as

you can see uh the wet mopping it's very lightly it does and it dries up very quickly but this is uh how it uh does it but in hindi we call it pocha don't expect very high results with this one and i've also noticed that sometimes it actually the nozzles get blocked and got blocked after about eight days so i had to clean it so you got to be careful with it but this is the mopping thing as you can see very lightly it does gets dried up also it's not very much wet very light uh thing i would say this will not uh replace your total porcha kind of a thing but yeah in a pinch yes it does this and you might have to fill in water for your whole house what i've noticed is that you can do about half of the house with the water tank so guys we also have this me home app and using which you can control this and setting it up was a pain it didn't set up with the first time you had to tire three or four times and it actually maps your complete area and you just swipe here you 

get to all the options uh for example you can go to the vacuum vacuum and mop if you have attached that only mop option you can also adjust the speeds by default it will be always on standard and water level i don't have the water tank attached that's otherwise it would have shown here also and you can just press this and start it the advantage is that you don't have to be in the same room uh i'm just going to pause it and as you can see it will pause and hit dock so it'll go back to the dock so you can control it and advantage of this is that maybe you 

are in your office or whatever you can remotely start it so that is the big advantage that you have with this app on this one so guys to give you an idea how much it cleaned up it actually uh this is twice that i've cleaned this uh house and this is the dust pin so let me just remove just open this up a little bit tricky always here and as you can see this much dust i'm just gonna pour it here this is empty as you

 can see right now and this is the dust so it picks up a lot of fine dust also it's not like it doesn't clean i would say 95 of the cleaning is actually done and you don't feel that dust etc when you walk on the floors so to conclude guys uh the dry cleaning on this one is actually really really good uh so it actually picks up very minor dust and stuff so that's good yes it does take its time sometimes i've noticed that sometimes it takes 20 minutes sometimes even 30 minutes but the battery life is good never in the middle actually went back because the charge was low or something like that so in that area it's actually good uh but coming to the cons the vet mopping is not that good it's just namesake guys the wet mapping just it just goes like this so if any sticky dirt or something is there don't expect that little viper so that porcha if you really want to do it you'll have to do it manually it's just namesake i would say that mopping also when you

 attach that wet mopping it simply does not climb stuff that was a little bit disappointing to me uh so overall it's nice but considering the price at now which xiaomi has launched i had ordered this pre-ordered this and i got it for 18 000 but now the retail pricing is about 25 000 so again that is something that you have to note also yes this model still does make quite a bit of noise in the vacuuming and this is disappointing because i was expecting it the noise to be a lot lower it's almost the same one uh noise levels that was on the earlier 2017 model that i had in fact my dad has a high life vacuum cleaner that was about 21 000 uh it's not as intelligent as this one i would say but that in terms of noise is way more silent than this one so it's a good product but guys uh i would say i'm having mixed results with this one and at 25 000 i feel xiaomi certainly

 charging quite a bit of premium for this one if it was just about 20 000 it would have been a better deal in my frank opinion anyways guys these are my frank thoughts about this one what do you guys think about the same do let me know in the comment section below anyways guys take care catch you later
