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
