I ripped into this deal. Bought one. I need to stop checking OZB.

For those wondering if whether UV works, it'll depend on several factors, quite nicely explored here by FDA: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and…

Considering that the type of UV isn't specified and doubting it can exert a sufficient and the short contact time it'll be in contact with the surface. It feels more of a gimmick than a useful feature.
Dave0 on 01/10/2021 - 17:45

Ok so I'm assuming a few things here. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Moping pads are changed for each mop? The vac bags every 30 days? And the docking station bag doesn't need replacing unless damaged?

A quick search of mop pads I found 10 for $20. 16 vac bags for $38. Are these ballpark figures and how do they relate to other machines and their bag replacements? Cheers.

  I've had S9 for a few months and haven't replaced the bag yet and have three young kids and a big dog. Mop pad is best replaced after each use, so I purchased a few spare to cycle through the wash.
  - Dave0 on 01/10/2021 - 18:21

      I just got them from AliExpress for close to $30aud. Only took a couple of weeks. The pads are identical to the ones that came with it, even though in the images they appear slightly different.

  Mop pad is washable, no idea why it comes with disposable ones as well.
  
  Can buy spare parts on aliexpress super cheap.
  
  In the manual it says wash the HEPA filter every few weeks, I would suggest blowing it out with an air gun instead, washing mine ruined the suction had to replace it, which was cheap anyway but something to note.
actinium227 on 01/10/2021 - 17:50

Anyone that have the Viomi S9 can confirm that it doesn't have the lift up mop like the Roborock S7?
- Uncle BucK on 01/10/2021 - 18:09
  
  It doesn't, but the vacuum head does move about like the s7.

  No, you just remove it after mopping.

  Stuck on what? the key to any robot vacuum is to use the virtual walls to block off problem areas, then you can run them daily without any issues.
  
  You also need to keep your house tidy, floors clear, all good once you get in the habit.
  - Pineapples on 02/10/2021 - 14:43
    
    It damaged itself a couple times by getting under the tv cabinet and not being able to get out. Then it would get confused on the legs of the couch and manage to get stuck under there. If it ran over a mat (like the bathroom mats) it'd crumple them up and get stuck. It had a habit of closing the door when cleaning and getting stuck in a room. Every time I put up a virtual wall, it'd find somewhere else to get stuck.
    
    It also doesn't give you a notification when the water tank is empty, so need to keep an eye on that.
    
    Using the software was a nightmare to edit the map.
    - noise36 on 02/10/2021 - 15:20
      
      No robot vacuum can handle things like cords or lose floor mats very well.
      
      Regardless of the brand If you block off problem areas with virtual walls and keep the floor uncluttered, doors open or closed you wont have those issues.
      
      Just fill the water tank each time you mop, not seeing the issue here.
      
      Did you get a different vacuum or did you give up on the idea?
      - Pineapples on 03/10/2021 - 12:37
        
        @noise36: Still looking. The evovac t8 looks promising, but pricey.
        
        I had one of the older Xiaomi ones prior to this which worked heaps better, but seems to have lost its touch the last couple years.

I planned on getting one of these when they did their first group buy to replace my S6 MaxV, but I decided not to. I'm glad I held out now, thanks OP!
- Zapwap on 01/10/2021 - 23:14
  
  How was S6 maxv? Do you think S9 UV is better compared to S6 maxv? Or may be even the new S7?
  - KangaDrew on 01/10/2021 - 23:46
    
    +1
    
    I've had the MaxV for almost 12 months and I love it. I use it every day in the living and dining room (carpet) and kitchen (tiles). The bedrooms (carpet) get done every 2-3 days. In that time it has run for 264 hours, covered 6924 sq m and had 559 cycles. And while I haven't tested it, I haven't seen a noticeable drop in battery capacity.
    
    Like all of these robovacs, the software can at times be glitchy after a bugged update or it sometimes (but rarely) gets confused and doesn't know where it is, so it starts to roam the place like a mouse droid. But for the most part, I would say it has functioned exactly as intended about 99% of the time?
    
    The main reason I bought the S9 was because of the emptying bin and higher suction power. Plus the S9 has had a few really good reviews.
    
    Worse case scenario: it doesn't function as intended and I go back to using the MaxV.
    Best case scenario: it's better than the MaxV and I sell it to recoup some $. The suction is stronger on the S9 so I am hoping it's as good as the reviews make it out to be.
    - Zapwap on 02/10/2021 - 10:32
      
      Thanks, this helps. Although, s7 also grabbed my attention but no bargain on it momentarily.
      
      S7 selling at around $1200 and when I compared s9 uv with s7, didn't look like s7 is worth the ~$700 difference.

        @Zapwap: You're welcome. Yeah, as much as I really like the S6, the price increase to the S7 (plus the price of the auto empty dock) is completely unjustifiable for me. When you can get two S9's for the price of one S7, I'd actually prefer the two (if I had a large enough house to justify having them both). For a 2 b/r apartment though, two would be overkill.

        @Zapwap: Hi there, sorry to ask but where did you find the info that this unit will offer a 60 days MBG? I was browsing through Panmi's website and found this clause "8.4. Panmi will also clearly display a “Money-Back Guarantee” logo on the Group Buy Project Page of any Product which is covered under the CMMBG."
        But I couldn't find this logo on the product page of this unit, tbh this is somewhat confusing.
        
        Zapwap on 03/10/2021 - 10:51
        
        @moneytomyway: I found it here
        
        Also op mentioned in his comment
        
        I guess panmi provides mbg on all their products under their guarantee.
        
        Although what I am not sure is the one you're referring to doesn't say anything about shipping costs. Looks like CMMBG covers it. The one I linked says excludes shipping.
        
        May be there won't be any shipping cost if you change your mind, as we did get the product shipped in 499.
        
        Need to confirm with thier support though.
        
        moneytomyway on 03/10/2021 - 12:08
        
        @Zapwap: Thanks for your reply.
        Thats why I found the website confusing, on their "guarantee" and its "terms" it doesn't say anything about the CMMBG logo but on the "return policy" they are saying there will be a logo on the product page.
        Guess I will bite the bullet and see how that goes.

Would this work over two levels? I'd need to physically move it between two areas in my home, can the mapping handle that? I assume I'd have to move the base station as well.

  This was asked in a previous deal, apparently you dont have to move the base station like was initially thought. You could always buy one for each level given the price.

Do you have to use the geofencing for this to work?
- noise36 on 03/10/2021 - 13:00
  
  you have to set no mop zones and manually attach the mop each time you want to mop. Most people dont mop very often it at all, I use it ever 2-4 weeks.

    I'm sure you've already worked it out, but for others, add it as a service in the Home app- but you need to use the 'Viomi MiHome' service as it doesn't come up under the Xiaomi MiHome service, even though the S9 runs through that app.
