Works ok, but has a few hiccups

published

It's quite effective at vacuuming, but very frequently the brush becomes clogged with hair and stops until it is unclogged, the dust bin so far requires emptying several times per cleanup. If there are any cables it can reach it will eagerly try to eat them, so you need to make sure your house is tidy and/or block off areas where it might get into trouble. So far we've always had to supervise it while it was cleaning, so we can un-clog it or empty the bin

This is Perfect, I can't live without it! Much better than other robots I've had in the past

published

Used to have a Samsung Navibot and once that died, it was time for an upgrade, after much research both in print and on youtube I settled on the Xiaomi Mi Robot 2. I'am staggered at how good this thing is, the reviews did not lie! It gets into all the nooks and crannies, doesn't get stuck where the Samsung Navibot used to get suck, it even speaks to you (in english), mops, vacuums and sweeps (where other units just sweep. I've recommend this to several friends who all echo my thoughts here. Oh and also the App (yes you can control it over wifi/4g/internet) is great and love seeing the LIDAR map out my house and where its been.

Wow clean floors

published

I brought the version 2 after reading lots of reviews. Had running for 2 weeks now. 2 dogs and timber floors. Wish I had have done this a long time ago.. haven’t used the mopping function yet. Just turn it on when I walk out the door and walk into a clean floor at the end of the day. Do yourself a favour and get one.

I've had it for 3 weeks and already convinced 4 other people to buy it

Absolutely the best thing vacuum on the market at this point in time. The mopping feature is great (just make sure you block off carpeted areas as sometime the carpet detection doesn't work and it 'mops' the carpet (i.e. drags a damp dirty cloth across it). I have shown it to a number of people (including a farmer who wanted one for his farm house) and they have all said it works a treat. Pretty heavy duty, and isn't bothered by bigger rocks and dirt. Couldn't recommend this enough.

Purchased newer Xiaomi Mi model - the Roborock. Best thing I have ever bought! Life changing!

published

Fantastic product. Vacuums brilliantly, maps and vacuums methodicallly. Mopping insert is easy to install. App is so handy. Will start clean up while I’m at work and come home to a clean floor. Not sure how I lived without this. Handle floor height changes will ease. Does everything it says on the advert! Pay that little bit more for the newer version. The first doesn’t mop and doesn’t have as great sensor range.

I love my Roborock but recently it has startet to leave stripes on the floor when it cleans with the mop. The floor is not very dirty to start with, so i thonk it is weird that these stripes accure.

Anyone else who has experienced this? Any advice?

Has anyone else ever had issues with remembering the map when it drops down to 20% battery. Mine only 2 weeks old keeps losing the map when I set timer to start or it drops to 20% battery and loses where it is. I have put in a warranty claim and have to send it back. But I am interested if anyone else has the same problem. Yes I have the Map saving option on.

No I have had my vacuum for a year now that hasn’t happened only once it got confused and lost the map after an update to firmware. After I reset everything to default and started again I’ve had no issues. That was roughly 3 months ago
