    loving mine, a few teething issues, but works great now …
    - 1st issue, my fault, had the base station stashed away, you can't have stuff to the left or right of the base station
    - 2nd issue, i'm a guy living alone, the first cleanup had plastic that blocked a suction valve and i had to clear it manually
    - 3rd issue, it said bag was full when it wasn't, fiddled and it is all good now

    annoying, but understandable issues, well worth the money, fun toy, hopefully i get a few years of use out of it

        I got mine from panmi in December. Use it once a week, vacuum about 50sqm. Haven't had a need to replace anything else but have bought replacement bags off aliexpress for when that happens.

        • weezlebub on 02/02/2022 - 16:52

        I bought like 16pcs of the disposable bags from Aliexpress for $24.
        Quality exactly the same as the original Viomi bags.

      Hmm haven't had any issues on mine. Only thing was when it was vacuuming a bedroom, the door closed on it. It got stuck and was frantically trying to find its way back. I opened the door and it went back to base but it didn't continue vacuuming, instead said it was completed.

      So I just instructed it to vacuum the rooms missed and away it went as per normal.

      The app connection to the vacuum sometimes is a hit and miss but closing the app and doing it again works.

      the other issue I found is compared to my old roborock, this one does not provide a hard plastic mat, which means when you forget to take the wet mop off, it will be on the wood floor for the whole period…
      Anyone has found a good solution? I cannot find a good alternative mat with that size…

    And those days are back!

    • weezlebub on 02/02/2022 - 16:41

      yep, but i needed the 3d mapping to do my house (crazy floor plan that confuses most people, let alone a dumb-vac) …

      for the features and price, i can deal with a bag

    • bleeder on 02/02/2022 - 16:51

      This thing takes bags? How often do you need to replace the bags and how expensive are they?

      • weezlebub on 02/02/2022 - 16:53

        not yet :)

        no pets, filthy floors, should last about 3 months for a bag (as a rough guess)

      • revivor on 02/02/2022 - 17:01

        I've used mine for a month now and the bag is still pretty empty. I vacuum just upstairs with wooden floors 3x a week. No pets and no carpets.

  • ajbee on 02/02/2022 - 16:41

    How is the object avoidance on this one? After owning a Viomo v2 for over an year, I feel that is a crucial requirements so I spend less time preparing the house for a clean. Also, the app/navigation sucks with it creating overlapping maps requiring frequent resets…

      got caught on a speaker cable once because it tried to eat it …

      as long as the bottom of the object isn't 3" tall or small enough to be eaten it'll be fine, i've got chairs on castors and stools and couches and all sorts of random things …

      the only thing it had issues with seems to be my old dyson - it actually spent quite a bit of time bumping into it when it first moved in, i just put it down to asserting dominance :)

    • Astronaut Joe on 03/02/2022 - 10:02

      No matter how good they are they'll still choke on things like shoelaces. Kind of an incentive to keep your place tidy so the vac can do its job.

    • weezlebub on 02/02/2022 - 16:56

      UV doesn't seem to do much, i haven't tried the mop function yet … mostly bought it for the mapping / radar functions …

      • revivor on 02/02/2022 - 17:03
        +1

        Yeah tried the mop function once and it's not really mop the floor properly. I mainly bought this as it has the self emptying function which is what a robot should do without manual intervention.

          Mopping picks up a surprising amount of dirt. My white tiled kitchen dining area is noticeably cleaner after mopping. I add detergent into the water tank and on the pad. It’s not better than a thorough mop but it’s good enough to do a quick clean

          • Nanokillaz on 02/02/2022 - 18:55

            @choofa: What detergent do you add and how often do you mop?

            • choofa on 02/02/2022 - 22:28
              +3

              @Nanokillaz: Actually I mostly just use a few drops of cheap home brand disinfectant in the tank and a liberal amount on the pad. I mop probably two or three times a week. White tiles are an abomination and this thing has made a huge difference. I’m still amazed every time I clean the pad at how much dirt comes out and just how noticeable how cleaner the tiles are after it finishes.

          • revivor on 02/02/2022 - 19:18

            @choofa: Hmm - thought the manual specifically said not to add any detergents into the tank, but to the mopping pad.

            • choofa on 02/02/2022 - 19:42

              @revivor: Sure, it mentions the potential for corosion and failure of the pump in particular. As I see this is potentially being replaceable, I am not concerned. I am using a very small amount or detergent or disinfectant anyway. I will see how it affects operation in the long term, but I prefer to clean/disinfect better than just drag a damp cloth around.

              • The Hobo on 02/02/2022 - 19:44

                @choofa: issue with detergent would be build up over time more than corrosion.

                • choofa on 02/02/2022 - 20:05

                  @The Hobo: Okay. Good to know. I mainly use a heavily diluted disinfectant so probably less likely to be a problem.

            +1

            @choofa: I remember Choice did a review of floor cleaners, and it turned out just water on it's on was as effective as the floor cleaners. Could be wrong but I recall they said just use water and maybe add methylated spirits to it (for mopping, not for robot mops)

            • choofa on 02/02/2022 - 22:29
              +2

              @bleeder: I think I only add the disinfectant for the fresh smell afterwards. You are probably right that it really won’t be any cleaner

              • bleeder on 03/02/2022 - 11:47

                @choofa: I'm thinking the floor gets 'infected' again pretty quick anyway. You're right though, the smell is nice after a mop!

      • bleeder on 02/02/2022 - 20:37

      I have a Roomba for 5 years I never had issues with until it stopped charging. I posted a Roomba deal a week or two ago and people were complaining how horrible the cheaper Roomba's are compared to the other options. But seems like the cheaper Roombas are just missing features, but they're sturdier. Every post I find on a Chinese model, there's people posting about issues. My Roomba was flawless except, only complaint was it getting stuck on items/cords and the hair tangles.

      • Deviner on 03/02/2022 - 03:00

        My Roomba, possibly similar to yours as it was about 5 years ago, used to absolutely smash through the place. It was like watching a destruction derby with how bad it's avoidance detection was. And yes, it would always get either stuck somewhere or tangled up in something.
        It did a decent job when I meticulously went around the house and moved all possible obstacles and moved around furniture etc…. but by the time I'd do all that, it kinda defeated the purpose of having a robovac.

        • bleeder on 03/02/2022 - 11:51

          Mine only has a few spots where it gets caught on cables, If I keep those tidy I'm good to go. Quite often it would run out of batteries before finding its way back to the docking station though, the "hug the wall when low on battery" algorithm doesn't work great for that haha, I didn't mind I would just go and find it when I got home from work.

          People complain these new ones get stuck too though, I'm interested to know how much better they are. My Roomba with it's 'dumb' algorithm would miss nearly no spots on my apartment. I'm just worried about the quality of these Xiaomi ones. I'm thinking it might be better to have a Roomba with less features, than a feature full Xiaomi that breaks after a year.

          • Deviner on 08/02/2022 - 03:58

            @bleeder: I've had the first gen Xiaomi/Roborock vacuum since I replaced the Roomba and it's absolutely bullet proof and super reliable with pathing etc.
            Literally nothing has gone wrong on it.
            It's ran 1-2 times per day and only uses the standard filter/brush consumables - maybe about two filters per year or so (I wash them out a few times before replacing).

            On the other hand, several years later, I also got the Xiaomi Vac/Mop (Model is STYJ02YM which is a Viomi V2 I think) and it's absolute garbage.
            It struggled to navigate properly. Sensors seem to experience issues very early on. Firmware was a pisstake and wouldn't update for months due to a known issue.
            I've now had to remove the plastic caps on all 4 cliff sensors as they were going cloudy and nothing I tried would clean them - so now the sensors are freeballing it with no protection so we'll see how long that lasts.

            • bleeder on 08/02/2022 - 09:50

    No issues here on third bag. About a bag a month because Labrador sheds all over hardwood floors. As mentioned just make sure phone charger cables speaker cables etc aren't in place.

  • Godgodgod on 02/02/2022 - 19:03

    I have both the first gen Xiaomi and this one viomi.

    Ouick note.

    Viomi doesn't have 2 or 3x zone cleaning setting in the map or zoned area.

    This means I have to do a 3x vacuum with my first gen and then do a mop with viomi. To have a properly cleaned floor.

    There is no way to automate this process. Automation doesn't drill down to mapped room i.e kitchen level.

  • AlienC on 02/02/2022 - 19:07

    • Doy on 02/02/2022 - 19:13

      What features are you looking for? I have the older Viomi V2 Pro (bagless, no UV) which I find great, and you could pick it up for much cheaper

      • AlienC on 02/02/2022 - 23:15

        Just vaccuuming really.. Cliff detection for spiral staircase.. Mostly carpet.. Only kitchen is non carpet.. A few small bumps but nothing major.

        I guess lidar would be best I heard so it can map the whole house or office space and do multiple runs in one go I guess instead of completely random movement.

        Full automation would be awesome so I can schedule it to maybe go on every 3 nights or so or maybe even weekly and time it with the weekly bin night so I can empty all my bins in one go every night which for me is I think Tuesday morning so do a triple full go over the whole house Monday night.

        No spot cleaning needed but would be fun a feature to play around with guests.

        I will most likely run it at night so I guess night glow or I can just attach Led lights if low visibility at night.

        No need for mopping we have a bucket and mop for kitchen and bathroom so just carpet really.. Yeah. Auto empty is nice but I just want a robot vacuum that can do a whole house and I clean it once a week or once a fort night.

        Simple really.

        I have good WiFi coverage so it should be able to get WiFi every where.

        Will be getting a new stick vacuum also for the areas it can't reach and just big messes.

        Can it do all this?

        And most importantly how long have you had it.. Longevity is important for me as I will be keeping this purchase for a long time.. Would hate to throw it. Not the upgrade type when it comes to this.

        • Doy on 03/02/2022 - 08:08

  • camshandez on 02/02/2022 - 19:46

    Mine often gives up whenever it thinks it's lost and then goes back to dock and says it finished. The chairs under the table trigger it often… Pretty annoying. Its understandable when it closes a door on itself but yeah chair legs will always move around and be in different places between each map so unsure how to fix that without putting the base station near the table

    • revivor on 02/02/2022 - 21:18

      Seemed like what happens when there is too little space going round the chairs. It doesn't have enough room to navigate between the small spaces.
      I think best to create an exclusion area around the table or pull the chairs out a little so it has some room to navigate under the table.
      Worth testing to see if it works.

      • camshandez on 02/02/2022 - 21:47
        +1

        Yeah it's hit and miss, sometimes it'll give up and go to the dock, others it'll do it fine.
        I've watched it go in, get stuck between legs and table end, then go out to freedom, go back in again and then give up and say it's done the whole house and go home haha.

        But yeah good idea, might just exclude the chair area, it's just annoying as my S50 had zero issues, thing was a tank until well it stopped working with a hardware fault haha.

          I'm not sure why, but I find this hilarious.
          As a very amateur programmer, I understand how easy things for humans can become difficult to programme for.
          So many edge cases!
