  • Does anyone know what the combo packs are? Are they items that normally come with the robot vacuum? Are they unnecessary extras? Was about to pull the trigger but am worried the base model is a stripped back version of what you get elsewhere.

    • +1

      Gen 2 comes with 4 extra mop tank filters, two micro fibre mops and two hepa filters. This is more than enough to last quite a while. Don't bother with the combos.

    • +2

      You do not need purchase combo from beginning.You only need Combo Accessories after 3 or 6 Months time depend how often you use the vacuum. We put combo pack so customers can save extra on Accessories.

      • Thanks, I bought one. Appreciate the info

      • +1

        Hi,please list the inclusions for each combo pack. I understand there's a picture for each but please tell me what we're looking at.
        Cheers

  • Is that eBay account legit?

    • Seems gearbite associated, should be fine I guess. might just be a new account that created to take advantage of ebay plus as the old account was somehow banned from excessive ebay plus shipping usage?

      • +1

        Yeah just noticed Gearbite posted comment above me & has the associated tag - previously bought a gen1 from gearbite and had no issues.

        Any ways - bought a gen1 on this deal for a present.

        • No worries, enjoy :)

        • I bought from a seller with 100+ positive reviews over a 6 month period (now after a month they have 50+ negative reviews), they sent a toy key and three weeks later I'm still waiting for the eBay money back guarantee to actually refund me… So far I've found eBay plus to be a royal pain and not worth the money. Needless to say, just because eBay suggests a cheaper item matching the MPN doesn't mean it's safe to buy.

  • Can you do a schedule zoned cleanup? or is it something you have to specify every time you want to do a zone cleanup?

  • +1

    Mop function is not that great. I would recommend the first generation.

    • +1

      I love the mop on mine. I use it many times each week. Handy when you need to clean up after a toddler.

    • The 0.5cm of climbing helps a lot with 2nd Gen not getting stuck like the 1st Gen

  • I finally pulled the trigger and got a Gen 2! Pretty excited.

    • +1

      Same here!

    • +1

      I bought with the previous offer.
      I’m very very impressed with it!

  • Bit the bullet and got a S50

  • +2

    The S50 is amazing, you shouldn't be disappointed. Robovacs have revolutionised the way that floors are kept clean much the same way as what dishwashers did for kitchens IMO.

    • +3

      i bought gen1 then sold it unopened, thinking it'll make me lazy and i should move my ass more on housekeeping while exercise at the same time

      but now i'm tempted to get 1 for the 2nd time as i didn't bother to keep my place clean

  • Ebay Plus Member? How much does that cost?

    Is there way around it?

    • +2

      You can get the free trial and then cancel within the 30 days.

  • +1

    Anyone know if i use the mop function using S50 if it will go over my carpet and wet it ? Or move around it ?

  • 1800Pa Super Suction - With a strong power, the robot absorbs all the debris, steel beads, soybeans, dust, millet or any other wastes all in a sudden

    So glad it picks up soybeans!

  • How is gen2 for pet hair? I have a shorthair cat, but naturally hairs will be on the ground.

    • +1

      Very good on hard floors (no idea about carpet). We have a king charles cavalier that sheds a lot daily and the S50 does a fantastic job picking it all up. Just have to empty the bin after each clean as it fills up quickly with dog hair.

  • Anyone able to offer advice?

    I want to purchase tonight as I'm away from computer till about 8pm but I'm worried there may not be any stock left?

    Should I be worried?

    Wanting the Gen 2.

    Thanks

  • I bought a Gen1 in the last sale but cant get the zone clean working unless I have server as mainland china, am I doing something wrong?
    All my other devices are on the singapore server, so reluctant to move over to the china server…

    • +1

      We have been advised Zoned Clean for the global version will have beta version at Oct and formal version around Nov-Dec.

  • 1st Gen $314.45 (AU Plug & Melbourne Stock) Delivered.

    Is this the cheapest ever in ozbargain?

    • Nah, cheapest was like $300 around late last year. The past year the cheap prices has mainly been like $310-320ish.

  • I got the gen 2 and combo thanks

  • -2

    Any 3rd gen? So much better…

  • Is the warranty good with this? Anyway to get an additional one year?

  • can these be linked to work with Alexa etc? I'm too lazy to press a button !

    • Yep. Pretty bare bones but you can start and stop a clean.

  • Any estimate on how long before Gen2 will be restocked?

  • I don't want to negative the posting, but as a general comment about Gearbite, I have not been impressed with the way that they handle warranty claims.

    I bought a Gen 1 vacuum from them and after a while (close to 12 months) it developed an error (code 18). It was only then that I discovered that Gearbite does not have a phone number to ring. But I sent a message through ebay and they responded. Each time I followed their advice and each time the email came back from a different person.

    Finally they told me to send it back (at my expense). It had been over a month and I hadn't heard anything. I emailed them a couple of days ago (I had been overseas) and was asked who I was. Then I was told that they would find out what was going on but I am still waiting.

    It may not be the same for everyone but I have not been impressed with their customer service.

    • Sorry for the trouble. In your case, you can request postage reimburse. I have messaged you regard to your information. I will follow up tomorrow and get this sorting out quickly.

    • Let us know how it goes

      • Here is the latest:

        https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pM0QAZWKJDebO_OGwff9PSElCE…

        I haven't got the photo yet…

        And they have offered to pay the postage costs, which is good.

        • I have ordered a replacement vacuum.

          To their credit, the person from Gearbite refunded the price of the old vacuum.

          So, here's hoping that this story ends better!

  • +1

    Been resisting this xiaomi vacuum deal for the past year, cant hold it back no more got myself a 2nd gen tonight. It will motivates my baby to crawl. I am now hoping xiaomi will include lawn mowing feature on their 3rd gen.

    • Their third generation will having baby sitting function soon :)

  • @gearbite

    I bought the Gen1 from your store last year and cant get It to work properly. The machine gives commands in Mandarin so I don’t know what it is saying, and I cant find a way to switch commands to English.

    Is there an easy way this can be done ?

    • You've synced up the vacuum to your Mi Home app?

      Language settings are controlled through the app I believe

  • How often should the filter on gen1 be replaced and where's the best place to buy from? Thanks

    • +1

      Xiaomi recommends every 3 months but I stretch it out to 6 months and clean the filter every month or so.

      I got my last accessory pack from shoppingsqaure online I believe it was posted on ozb

    • +1

      The app has a timed countdown which is pretty spot on. Once mine reached the end I could see my filter was pretty clogged. Tried vacuuming it clean but ended up replacing it anyway. New filters are washable

      • Can gen2 filters be used (and washed) with gen1?

        • Yep. I bought some aftermarket washable filters for my gen1. Two for just under $10

        • @julz: may I ask from where?
          Bought gen 1 for my parents and is looking at getting them extra extra filters/accessories

  • does the Gen2 come with a barrier strip, or do you need to buy the combo kit to get it? I can't find what's in the box anywhere

  • Does the item has au plug by default or does it ship with au adapter

  • Thanks OP. I've got the first gen and now looking forward to my upgrade!

  • +1

    Bought a gen 2 on monday morning, shipped the same day and got a tracking number.

    However the tracking have not move since its being picked up in the au post website :(.

    It was meant to be delivered Tuesday and still not here yet. I have lodge a ticket with AU post to see what happen.

    If it went missing at the end will i get a refund?

    • I'm in the same situation. I thought it was a bit suss that it was picked up so quickly. But since then have received no updates and now showing on the tracking as 'delayed'

    • I wonder if anyone has actually receive theirs

      • Same boat here. No updates since being picked up Monday.

        • Ordered and got mine (Gen2). It shipped from VIC and I am in VIC (Melbourne). It came a day later than expected. Very happy so far.

        • @jbroberg:

          At least someone got their stuff, by comparison mine has been delayed by 4 days now.

          Does your tracking numbers update along the way?

        • I got mine on Tuesday, and had a play with it last night. Works as expected with AU plug.

          Edit: I am in Melbourne too

        • @Baksow: Yeah it updated (when the delivery was a day late) but it all came quickly. Had it within 2 days.

    • Its my first time to have an issue like this, anyone know what happen if it went missing at the end?

      Who need to bare the responsibiy?

      • My tracking just updated and now says in transit. Also in Melbourne. Aus post explained that it was originally picked up from the seller and delivered to Aus post before it gets delivered. The ETA is therefore too optimistic and incorrect. Fingers crossed it'll come in the next day or two (as it should). Looks like some people have received theirs.

        • Mine always says in transit but the last tracking update shows its being picked up.

          I had a message from the seller saying that its actually have not been send? And it should be out by next Monday.

          Im not sure how they manage that but also update the au post tracking as already being picked up.

          They also mark the item as send in ebay which is not true

    • This is the reply i got from ebay seller this afternoon.


      hi
      sorry about that! we have print out your order is 17/9, but the stock is on the way in warehouse, we can't do earlier, we will send out next monday to you, if you can't waiting, we will offer refund the price for you

      regards
      Deby

      Sent from XIAOMI AU


      Im just surprise they can mark it as send and the tracking stated picked up even tho it have not leave the warehouse..

      • Wow.. thanks for looking into that. I'm very surprised.. if it weren't for others saying that they've received it, I'd find it extremely suss. I agree, for them to start the tracking when nothing is actually sent it very strange

        • It might be prepurchased tracking labels.. I think I’ve done that before with auspost

  • Just jumped on to order… expired 😢
    Won’t be paying full fare for it

    • Same boat… Ohhh well… I'll save money and wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday and hopefully this will be even cheaper. Due to OzB when I miss deals I don't see the value of paying full price for the items as well

  • 420/480mL? How often do you have to empty the dustbin with such a small area that is like less than a water bottle of dirt.

    For my house that would fill up fast multiple times for a full house multiple room clean.

    • It depends on the floors and how much you run the vacuum and what not.

      I lived in a three 3 bedroom + 2 lounge room house; no carpet all floorboards - ran MON/TUES/WED and would need to empty twice a week no big deal.

      Downsized to a 2 bedroom apartment (brand new carpet) and it fills up after doing 3/4 the room lounge room. Now I just run manual zone clean ups on a daily basis which when you're used to it being automated is annoying but takes like 2 minutes out of my day.

      My next project (if it works with the gen1): https://hackernoon.com/how-i-set-up-room-cleaning-automation…

  • Anyone received their vacuum yet? Mine says it should arrive last Thursday, still not here. Called Auspost, they said its only been notified to pick it up but may not have physically picked up yet even though the tracking says "in transit"…..

    • Mine said it should arrive last Tuesday. It still not arrive and the tracking has not change.

      Contacted the seller and they said it should be shipped today but seems that didnt happen either.

      • My tracking has finally been updated and the vacuuum is now at an auspost depot close to me. So hopefully yours should be moving along too.

  • If anyone sees a good deal please share. It looks like they have increased the price from $509 to $529 now (maybe because of the new deal).

  • Mine was supposed to delivered last Thurs 20th, but tracking only shows it picked up last Monday 17th . Contacted them on Monday 24th and they said they only sent it out on the 24th. Tracking still has not updated. Bit suss.

  • Got deliver today order on 20/9/2018

    I have one question: when I add the Robot to my existing profile which set region to mainland China as it is how i make my XiaoFang camera work, now the robot ask me to select the server for your current location by going to "profile—> setting—> Region", which region/serve should i select? or there is a workaround for it?

    • I had this same problem… it refused to let me go Mainland china for some reason… I had to migrate my profile over to singapore because I couldn't find another way. If somehow you get it working on mainland china please let me know!

      • Can the camera still working after you migrate your profile to singapore ?

        if not may be i will need to create a new profile then

        • No idea sorry, I don’t have any other Xiaomi devices set up currently

  • +1

    Another week and still no progress in tracking info….

    • That's unfortunate. I bought mine on the 19th and got it today

  • Purchased Ver2. 17/9. Received shipping details inc tracking details and as above no movement.
    Have contacted twice through EBAY and no reply.
    At best poor customer service.
    Concerned yes.

    • +1

      Turned up yesterday with different tracking number.

  • Ordered v2 on 16/09 and have received shipping details with no updates.

    • I Was told in an earlier email that my item was finally sent 25/09, well that turned out to be a lie because shipping updates continued to stay stagnant. Sent them another email and they said it’s been sent yesterday 02/10.

      Is anyone else getting the run around here?

  • Still waiting for mine. Contacted them again and they said they would send it out on Monday 1st Oct. 3rd Oct I check on ebay and I get a second tracking number with no information. Going to be 3 weeks and waiting for an item that was supposed to be in stock, shipped from Melb. I think its coming from China. These people are liars, I wonder what would happen with a warranty claim with them?

  • Finally arrived today via the second tracking number. Tried it out, the app needs to connect to the Singapore server. When connecting to the China server it would not clean. Cleans well on tile and floor boards, does not like rugs or cables/extension cords. Even tissues seem to cause it wind the tissue into a cigar roll and not suck them into the box.

    • Sorry for the trouble this time. Pre-order was suppose to post around 26th or 27th September , but we got stocks earlier at 24th September. So most of deal Orders fulfill around 24th September.But We made mistake for 12 customers’ order which did not post on time. We finally find the orders , fix the problems and dispatch from our Sydney warehouse. We still work on new system with two warehouses now. Hope we can do much better next time.
