PRESENT

OzBargain's favourite Robot Vacuum cleaner.

I bought one a month ago for my parents at $367 price point from overseas. Seeing how good the thing is I've just bought the one on this deal for myself. Given it's local warranty from the seller and delivery included this is an awesome deal!!! Don't forget cashrewards for another 1.3% off

Want to know how good it is… well it's better than the top of the range Roomba that RRP $1500!!! Refer this YouTube review and many others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs48LtyMuBg It's quieter than the Roomba yet it has greater suction power, cleans better too.

Note: the Mi Home app is now 100% in English and the Mi Robot even has inbuilt speakers that speak to you with an English Voice. This is also the only Robot Vac that gives you a visual map (the Roomba doesn't do that) of where it's cleaned. The bump on the top of it actually houses a rotating LIDAR sensor, the same technology used for Self Driving cars!!! This thing has some serious technology and sells for $351!!! Crazy…. Xiaomi rocks!

Now I got to offload the Roomba that this thing will be replacing.

    Picked up one of these about 2-3 weeks ago. This thing is seriously impressive and I absolutely love it, exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Does a great job of cleaning and doesn't miss many spots.

        Yep, the app is in English and you can download the English voice pack for when the robot speaks.

    Can this pickups long hairs on the carpets? And also works on bathroom tiles?

      There are four females with long hair in my house with tiles, floor boards and carpet. It gets as much hair as my Dyson does off the floor. It's not great Im the corners as it' can only reach with the side brush but as a maintenance vac it's amazing. I run it every 2 days or so while I'm out of the house.

    These things are so much better than Roomba and Neato vacuums that its just embarrassing for those two companies. This is how robot vacuum cleaners SHOULD have been. I don't even care if the Chinese government is spying on me, I'll tell them everything they want to know in exchange for clean floors and a sweet little map of its progress on my smartphone.

    How does it go going under or around chairs / chair legs?

    • dasher86 on 23/08/2017 - 09:32

      The robo vacuum does a lot better now than it did at the start with the constant firm ware upgrades it receives.

      It will 'push' into the chair legs then begin to circle to see if it will fit through the spacing.
      It will try this with every chair leg.

      if you have wooden furniture you may want to protect it from being hit by the bumpers and side brush as it can damage the finish.

    • damion on 23/08/2017 - 10:23

      I flip my chairs up onto the table. Unless you have giant chairs with enough clearance between the legs for the entire robot, it'll just have to go around the outside of all 4 legs. Table and bench legs are fine.

      Love the decals, just bought a Union Jack one for ours! And for anyone who still hasn't bought one of these vacuums - what are you waiting for? They are awesome. My wife loves it, my mum loves it so I bought one for her too. And I love it, as I can tell the missus "I'll do the vacuuming today" and feel like I'm helping her out LOL!

          good tip but we have alarm and will go off if it detects motion.

        • Vietsoldier on 23/08/2017 - 14:20

          @FeZZa21: you then have to run it whilst you're at home, or leave the alarm off. What I did was replace the motion sensors with door sensors (alarm can then be turned on, no false alarms from the Mi Robot)

  • yeahrowdyhitthat on 23/08/2017 - 11:43

    I got mine a month or so back. I was housesitting and had two indoor longhair dachshunds. It was tiled floors only, but I am seriously impressed with how it went. It kept on top of the hair and dust, and being able to control remotely from the app is pretty handy. The map showing where has been cleaned is good too. You can see the dots where the table and chair legs are - it circles these with ease. Unlike an older vacuum I had, it doesn't just charge into furniture and bounce off - once it learns the environment it just eases up to objects then stops.

    I can also add (unfortunately) that it survived a voyage through a pile of dog vomit. The rug was quite ruined after having spew trudged all over it by my little robotic friend, and it took me a while to clean the unit, but everything still works perfectly.

    Now back home, I find it also works well on a standard rug, and successfully stops at the top of a spiral staircase. Like anything, it can get stuck on threads, cables, low hanging furniture etc so you just need to keep things out of it's way that may pose a problem. Otherwise - highly recommend.

    • Gauntlet on 23/08/2017 - 19:08

      I have a dog with medium hair and it seems to do well. If you run it every day eventually you will notice the amount of hair in the bin is minimal due to the consistent cleaning. I used to vacuum once a week but now I set this to vacuum while I'm at work. All the moving parts are removable but I haven't had any issues with hair stuffing up the mechanics yet.

  • maybeamacy on 23/08/2017 - 16:42

    I have an LG Square RoboVac which was like $800 and it keeps getting its wheels stuck on cords, etc.

    Does this have the same problem?

    • Blackpuddytat on 23/08/2017 - 20:12
      +1

      Because I didn't lay down any virtual wall in the corner where my TV lives, the Xiaomi got into the cords behind the TV. It faced off against heavy duty RG6 quad shield coaxial cable, numerous power cords and even that annoying thin and way too long Wii sensor bar cord and it either traversed over them or bullied them out of the way. It almost always negotiates a way out which is remarkable.

      I would say if you've got delicate wiring or have a cable jungle worse than mine, buy and lay down some virtual wall to act as a barrier. But just watch the vac on it's maiden voyage and if it doesn't get stuck anywhere, you'll be right for the future.

    Does anyone know if this will map your entire house on the app and you can tell it to clean for example, half the house on Mondays and the other half on Tuesday or if you can assign rooms in the house to be cleaned on certain days?

    • Vietsoldier on 23/08/2017 - 20:27
      +2

      App does not seem to allow you to draw out sections to clean. When it starts it maps out you house by sectioning an area, cleaning that section fully, then moving onto the next section that it maps out. It does this till its covers all sections of the house. When it reaches 20% it goes back to base to get to 80% charge then it continues from where it last stopped. Seems to work pretty well and quite intelligent you won't feel the need manually map sections out.

      • davohatcher on 23/08/2017 - 20:46

        great thank you for the information so it sounds like its smart enough to work out how to clean from end to end while charging itself in between and continuing.

          It works like a self driving car. Maps out a section then sweeps back and forth perfectly parallel to the walls with each pass. Not like other machines that run everywhere randomly.

    Hey everyone ,
    Looking for some feedback from long time users.
    How's the battery life like over a period of time (>1yr) and is it easy to source spare parts?

    • Vietsoldier on 25/08/2017 - 21:17

      I don't think these have been out for a year yet. Genuine parts are readily available online and cheap too.

      If your question is due to the fact you are uneasy about Chinese products, let tell you the build and quality of Xiaomi products are Apple equivalent at a much cheaper price.

      I've bought so many xiaomi products (several smart phones, battery packs, security cameras, mi robot, smart home switches, smart lights and pens) and each and every item has blown me away in terms of the quality vs price ratio. So much so that if xiaomi sells a device in any category, every other brand seems like a rip off in comparison.

  • PlasticSpaceman on 25/08/2017 - 11:30

    Bought. My +4 year old Neato is still going strong, but might switch over when the NiMH batteries in the Neato need to be replaced again (an annual ritual). In theory the lithium batteries in this should last a couple of years….

  • Balmaino on 25/08/2017 - 14:29

    This thing is the absolute bees' knees. I grabbed a couple of the magnetic strips to stop it sucking up all the cat litter and shit in the laundry and the random screws and cords strewn through my study, the rest of the house is sparkling. carpet and tiles. This is extra useful for me since my girlfriend seems to conscientiously object to vacuuming.
    Does the whole house (3br 2 bathroom) on a single charge no worries and finds its way back home to the dock, i just schedule it to run every friday and empty the dust pan when i get home. Its fun watching it zoom around and you can take control of it with your phone and drive it around with a joystick to chase your cat.
    Upgrading with large googly eyes soon

    • FeZZa21 on 13/09/2017 - 09:24

  • PlasticSpaceman on 13/09/2017 - 10:46

    Mine arrived today….. Ordered 25/8, arrived 13/9, so around 11 business days. Firmware updated, speaking English, set to local time zone - all easy as, although it did take a while to update. Now charging (came with 50% charge).

    • PlasticSpaceman on 13/09/2017 - 14:50

      …and I let it go upstairs (carpet). Had to empty the bin about three times in the process - picked up an impressive amount of fluff. The bin definitely could be bigger. I also ran it in 'turbo' mode, and the sound level was fine. Next time I might try it on 'max' mode and see what difference it makes. Overall, fairly impressed with it. Did not get caught up anywhere, did each room fairly efficiently, and easily made its way back to the charging dock. Ran it twice, and battery had gone from 100% to 35%, so not too shabby. I'd say it was comparable in results to my old Neato, but cheaper plus some extra features such as better battery and remote control via the app. The map is nice as - with the Neato - there is frequently the 'did it do this room?' question that the map will answer.

      • PlasticSpaceman on 19/09/2017 - 09:10

        …and final update. Have run it daily on the carpet now for a week, all except for the first run on 'max' setting - chews through the battery, but still manages to easily do the floor in one go. It's starting to pickup less fluff per run which is to be expected, but definitely needs the bin emptying after each go. The carpet looks amazing. As a bonus, it also is able to use the magnetic strip from my old Neato as a "wall".
