Greetings everyone, Shopro have decided to bring this great deal back again!

Even if this isn't the cheapest price ever, this is an excellent deal! Shopro offer an excellent delivery service and also have one of the best Australian warranties for Xiaomi products within Australian in my opinion.

Please note, this is the Global Version, which comes with:

English Manual in the package
English Voice Pack
English Display

This is excellent as there is no need anymore to change the language from Chinese to English, it automatically loads up with an english voice and display. I believe this is a recent feature added.

There is currently 310 in stock within Australia at the time of posting.

    Are the extra parts really essential. How often do the filters need to be changed for instance

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2018 - 13:25

      I've had mine since November and for some reason it has started to do a really poor job of picking up anything from the floor. We've just ordered a new brush and filter, but looking at the recommendations on the app, the filter needs to be replaced approximately yearly

    • Domingo on 10/08/2018 - 14:14

      I've run mine for 1155 minutes (essentially 20 hours) and its current status is:

      • Filter at 87%, replace in 131h
      • Side Brush at 90%, replace in 181h
      • Main Brush at 93%, replace in 281h
      • Sensors at 36%, clean in 11h
      • teereb on 11/08/2018 - 16:10

        Following your comment:

        Total Time 1819 minutes
        Total Area 1613m2

        After 30 hrs mine is at:
        Filter 80% - Replaced it yesterday with a washable one so now 100%.
        Side Brush 85%
        Main Brush 90%
        Sensors need to be cleaned as of todays clean.

        • Domingo on 11/08/2018 - 18:01

          Where did you get the washable filter from?

          @Domingo: they're are about 12 bucks on aliexpress.

    • damion on 10/08/2018 - 14:14

      I bought spares, but haven't used them yet.
      For exact stats:
      I've had mine a year, it's done 63 cleans - 1365 minutes and 1261m2.
      It says filter is at 84% (replace in 127 h), side brush 88% (replaces in 177h), main brush 92% (replaces in 277h) and sensors 23% (clean in 7h).

      However, I regularly clean the main brush, since it's always full of human and/or cat hair, and occasionally wash the side brush, since it seems to do a really good job of wiping gunk off its own wheel.

    • Brouw3r on 10/08/2018 - 15:29
      +3

      I've had one for almost a year to the day, it goes off every day and I haven't changed anything yet. Main brush is probably due for a replacement but fine for now and I use toilet paper over the filter, swapping for new toilet paper maybe twice a week and the filter is like brand new. Side brush needs replacing because it caught something and twisted itself strangely.

  • Unclefugger on 10/08/2018 - 13:22

    Slightly off topic, anyone know if we can get any spares for these? A lightning strike seemed to kill my docking station. Vacuum still works perfectly, but it's having to share a docking station with the other one downstairs which is a pain.

  • sinewaves7 on 10/08/2018 - 13:34

    My Xiaomi sees the black patterns on my rug as "cliffs" and goes apeshit crazy trying to avoid them. because my rug is full of black designs it just spazzes out and eventually gives up.

    Pretty ridiculous to think it would have such a problem but apparently it's a thing. I have to put tape over the cliff sensors.

    • samfisher5986 on 10/08/2018 - 13:52

      I believe you can put tape over the cliff sensor to fix that.

      Might be a problem if you have stairs though…

    With a strong power, the robot absorbs all the debris, steel beads, soybeans, dust, millet or any other wastes all in a sudden

    Finally something that can cope with all the soybeans lying around my living room.

      lol - I was more having a millet problem just lying around waiting to be absorbed, so personally I am glad there is a three dimensional vacuum system that can now fix that problem in a sudden - Finally so smooth I will be able to walk with bare feet on the floor after all these years!

      Maybe I shouldn't have been using those two dimensional drawings of vacuum cleaners to clean my millet before?

    I'm really keen to get one. I've heard good things about it. I'm just wondering if you guys have experienced any issues getting it working on dark carpets. Thanks!

    • sinewaves7 on 10/08/2018 - 14:43
      +1

      It's not the best on carpets, and does have trouble with dark black colours, but you can get around it by covering up the cliff sensors.

      It really excels on flat floors and does okay with low rugs. So it would depend on how shaggy your carpet is.

    • bemybubble on 10/08/2018 - 15:06

      I've got a black carpet. Works perfectly fine.

      It's a shaggy one too. The only thing I do prior to vacuuming is fold the carpet back.

    • frugalfamily on 10/08/2018 - 15:55

      I have a darkish carpet and it seems to work fine! This vacuum has changed my life!

    What is this English display. The vacuum doesn't have a display.

  • Herbse on 10/08/2018 - 16:19

    Can anyone with this please tell me if there's an edge cleaning mode? I use this heavily at home as a lot of dust and hair collects along the walls (most of the house is floorboards).
    In fact my current vacuum is used in edge mode almost exclusively. Kinda want a better one but to do the same.

    Cheers.

    • ddr0001 on 10/08/2018 - 17:10

      Yep it has a spinning brush on one side that drags everything into the vac path. Works fine.

    • damion on 10/08/2018 - 17:32
      +1

      There's no edge cleaning mode, but when you first start the clean up, it generally tries to map out the rooms by following edges (with the little brush).
      I guess you could just cancel the clean when it had done the edges you wanted.

  • wildweasel on 10/08/2018 - 16:52

    Will this go back to where the charger is when it senses low charge?

      Mine goes back around 18%. It then resumes where it left off.

  • ddr0001 on 10/08/2018 - 17:11

    Anyone able to advise how to do the zone cleaning on the Gen 1, I cant find it in the app anywhere.

    • codfish on 10/08/2018 - 17:20

      It needs to do a clean first to suss out the room, then select the zone from the map it has drawn and hey presto.

      • ddr0001 on 10/08/2018 - 17:23

        I have plenty of maps from previous cleans. The only option is to share the map. If I look at the last map on the main screen, can only zoom in or out and the usual Dock, Clean, Balanced buttons.

        • codfish on 10/08/2018 - 17:26

          I think it has to be the most recent clean, then select zone clean. You may need to upgrade software. My firmware is 3.3.9_003254.

        • ddr0001 on 10/08/2018 - 17:30

          @codfish: Thanks mate, I have the latest app version, also no FW updates available but no zone clean option. Ill keep working on it.

    • EmployeeGearbite @ Shopro on 10/08/2018 - 17:42

      Please try to clean cache at setting of mi home app and try to connect your device with Singapore serve. Mi Home may ask you to update your firmware then. Hope this will help.

          Hi ddr0001, did you get a message forcing you to revert to a 'local region' after changing the region to Mainland China? I was able to see Zone Cleaning when I change the region to China but was unable to use the Mi Robot. After changing back to Singapore, the Zone Cleaning button disappears.

        • SuperFly 420 on 19/08/2018 - 23:11

        • ddr0001 on 20/08/2018 - 01:04

          @megabytez:

          Still seems to be working for me. I must say im quite disappointed in zone cleaning, its very unreliable. More often than not it gives up without much effort and just says it couldn't access some areas. Areas that are 100% accessible.

        • bbqandbargains on 23/08/2018 - 09:57
          +1

          @ddr0001: This has been an issue for some time with the Global Version. New EU data laws have prompted Xiaomi to be very conservative with their Global version. It won't be allowed to hook into the Mainland China server, and therefore you're missing zoned cleanup and Go.

          I bought the Chinese version from a previous Shopro deal, works fine. I've since recommended it onto my friends, who've bought the global version. They've both been unable to get into Mainland China server.

          I think Shopro should be making a note of this for future promos.

      Yes they map out the layout and size of your house to see if they want to buy it at over inflated prices. I let my vac run outside to make the house look massive. :)

  • addas on 10/08/2018 - 19:57

    Is it possible to control the cleaner from outside the home through the app e.g forgetting to schedule it on when you’ve got to work. Or only if the app is connected to the same wifi network?

    Anyone had experience with these types of units with settting off alarm systems?

    • codfish on 10/08/2018 - 20:30

      Yes you can - I don't think it would activate an alarm.

    • Laurenlauren on 11/08/2018 - 21:17

      You can start the vacuum from the app in any location with internet, it doesn't have to be the same WiFi.

      I received a call from a security company saying the alarm went off, turns out it was just the vacuum.

    I have a small dog who likes to poop and pee in the house, normally on my shoes or in the sliding door track (dafuq?).

    Would it be a situation like in the movies where I come home to poop snail trails everywhere, or can it detect "shit like that"?

    • Heybargain on 10/08/2018 - 21:42
