    Any deals on spare parts?

      We have very limit parts available at this moment. Once we have many stocks, we will start a deal for the spare parts.

        Great, sounds good! Thankyou

    • dufflover on 04/08/2017 - 09:59

      How often would the spare parts be needed? Sounds like it's a must have buy so I'd factor the price of those too.

      • unco on 04/08/2017 - 10:15

        These are the recommended times to change the parts.

        Filter every 150 hours
        Side brush every 200 hours
        Main brush every 300 hours

        The app keeps a track of how many hours and % you have used it, you can also reset the counts without actually changing the parts if you wish.

    I use 2ply. You can carefully separate into 1ply if worried about suction. To me it sucked up the same amount of dust even with 2ply toilet paper.

    Filter is still brand new.

  • a22andrew on 04/08/2017 - 10:21

    anybody compared this to the Neato? I had the Neato XV-21 and was reasonably happy with it. I'm guessing you get what you pay for?

    • damion on 04/08/2017 - 10:24

      I don't have a Neato, but looking at specs -
      Due to design, Neato can get into corners.
      But Neato has old-tech Ni-MH battery, and no wifi/cloud/app usage.

      • a22andrew on 04/08/2017 - 10:26

        Good point re the batteries. I had to replace them every few months.

        • Maverick-au on 04/08/2017 - 10:56

          Good point re the batteries. I had to replace them every few months.

          The batteries are rechargeable and last years. Why would you replace them every few months?

        • a22andrew on 04/08/2017 - 11:22

          @Maverick-au: No, they did not last years. Maybe you got lucky. Used once a day the batteries lost at least 35% of capacity after 4-6 months. For me, this means a replacement is due. This is a known concern with the Neato's.

        • Maverick-au on 04/08/2017 - 11:25

          Are you buying aftermarket batteries or genuine? I never had a problem with my batteries and sold it with them still working like new.

          Why not put lithium batteries in?

        • a22andrew on 04/08/2017 - 11:26

          @Maverick-au: Lithium would perhaps have helped (it's long gone now). I was using supposed OEM Neato batteries off of ebay, but who knows if they were.

          @a22andrew:

          I think most of the eBay ones were poorly put together, I planned to get the lithium packs if mine started failing but jumped on one of these to replace the whole unit instead. Was almost a no cost upgrade as the Neato kept it's value.

        • a22andrew on 04/08/2017 - 11:31

          @Maverick-au: oh - and does it stack up against the neato? The neato does look as if it would get to corners better?

        • takezo on 04/08/2017 - 11:45

          Batteries definitely need replacing at least yearly. Obviously depends how large an area you are doing at a time, but it's easy to see the range reduce over time. Didn't find any difference between originals and those off amazon/ebay.

          I've had a XV-11 and now a couple of Botvacs. I asked how this compared recently, and it seems to be pretty favorable, with the xiaomi obviously a lot cheaper. If these were around earlier, definitely would have gone for one of these.

        • BellaWii on 04/08/2017 - 12:00

          Have the Botvac 85. The Ni-MH battery is dead after 1.5 years and only once a fortnight vacuum. Got extended warranty but discovered it doesn't cover the battery when I rang up recently.

          Anyone have a link for the lithium battery pack for the Botvac 85?

    • ialam99 on 04/08/2017 - 15:18

      I have the botvac connect and my parents have the xiaomi. Almost identical to be honest. Botvac handles the corners better but sabe the $$$ and get xiaomi I reckon.

    • LukeSmith on 05/08/2017 - 11:10

      I've had a Neato XV and its an unreliable heap of crap. Battery problems, charger failure, lidar belt failure, an so on. Ugh.

      I've had the Xiaomi for a few days and its much nicer, even if the brush isn't as wide the flicker gets stuff out of the corners properly unlike the XV.

          That councils have plans for many properties available?

          That developers have plans on their website for all the mass built houses?

          I'm guessing at this point you've feeling violated every which way. There are counselling services that can help you. Good luck.

  • sghetti on 04/08/2017 - 12:06

    Just got ours from Gearbite, shipped on time and received as expected. I was eagerly awaiting our as we had a LG Roboking that was on the way out. OzBargain had many good reviews for it and we're not disappointed! The smart capabilities of this vacuum blew me away!

    Compared to the Roboking, this actually maps out the house and methodically cleans sections of the house, whereas the Roboking seemed to just go wherever. The Roboking had issues going over our rug with long tassels, the Xiaomi didn't seem too, it took longer over the rug, but the brush didn't get tangled up. The Xiaomi took longer to clean the same floorplan but did a much better job of getting into every nook and cranny.

    The MiHome app is great! Make sure you select Mainland China for the locale rather than US, otherwise you don't get the options to pair the robot to your phone. Once setup, it's actually amazing to see how it maps the house and see its progress. You can also control the suction power/noise from the app.

    Watching many reviews and comparisons, the Xiaomi beat competitor vacuums in almost all aspects, at 1/4 of the price of some others.

    • samfisher5986 on 04/08/2017 - 12:38

        It gives you the extra data and options. You can set your vac to clean anywhere with an internet connection and see a map of where it is and what it's doing. Change the suction power and Dock it.

          Yeah I just realised I was already paired, I'm on the US region.

    • unco on 04/08/2017 - 12:49

      Mine paired fine using US servers.

      That said, I've switched back to the Mainland China server because firmware updates are released there first.

      Pairing the vacuum to the phone lets you see the mapping and progress of your vacuum, plus also keeps track of maintenance items so you know when you should be changing the spares.

      • samfisher5986 on 04/08/2017 - 12:53

        Ah ok I had no problems with US servers and pairing.

      • sghetti on 05/08/2017 - 22:35

        We had ours for 4 or so years, granted we never changed the filter… the issue we started having was the wheels were starting to scratch the floorboards, on top of that the vac started just spinning in a circle, so combine those 2 issues and we have a nice circle scratched into our floorboards… :)

  • drprox on 04/08/2017 - 12:51

    Just got ours from last deal and am thoroughly impressed with the machine! Whilst I suspect no substitute for a proper vacuum it'll do a great job of maintaining our house when at work and means any serious vacuuming can be done much less. Does a great job of pet hair too!

    Great product.
    Neg vote is is related to personal past recent experience with this exact vendor, product and price.

    Same product/price was offered by the same vendor here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/319788

    At that time the vendor did NOT ship within 24 hours, the product was NOT delivered within the Ebay delivery time, and they do NOT reply within 24hours after an Ebay/PayPal dispute is raised. Recent Ebay feedback indicates suggests multiple customers with same issue.

    When less than satisfactory Ebay feedback is left, the vendor will attempt bribes of 10% and then or 20% discounts on future Ebay purchase (might be useful for frugal OzBarganier's to note).

    This is not a vendor I'd want to deal with when you can find the same product at virtually the same price elsewhere.

      Unfortunate personal experience. There's always good and bad cases with each company.

      My personal experience, I was pretty impressed with the speed of my delivery.

      As for the product, I haven't given it a huge run yet. So far it's been ok. It's struggled with my breakfast bar chair, rolled up the base and got stuck. Stuck on a rag I forgot to pick up off the ground. Got to really make sure it can't get caught anywhere. It would be great if you could set a virtual barrier of where it can go.

        I thought you can cordon off areas with a magnetic strip on the ground for this vacuum?

      Best vendor/seller I have dealt with. Highly recommended.

      Not sure what you are referring to but I have had very good experience so far. Had a price difference/correction issue and it was sorted out within minutes. Worth giving 5 stars. I even recommended them to my friends and they also have bought from this store.

      was it click and collect? I find Auspost always drag their feet with click and collect. Mine took 7 days…but heck at least it wasn't 4.5 months…
