Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum (1st gen) Questions & Answers

Hi, i just bought a Roborock S50, my question is: Do i have to keep the dock station plugged in, or just when it needs to charge? Roborock is shutting down on it's own, or do i have to turn it off manually?

Hi All,

Big fan of Xiaomi products, I purchased a Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum in March 2022 and was initially very happy with the unit.

Until recently:
1) All of a sudden, the unit seems to have difficulty connecting to WiFi.
2) When it does, the following happens -

Please see link to YouTube video as it best describes the situation.

Like my unit and as you can see, the unit is fully charged.

It starts up and tries to commence the cleaning process.

However, the unit stops the moment it leaves the docking station.

I have resetted the unit as well as factory-resetted it.

Some other users have advised changing the internal battery.

Can anyone advise or confirm if this is the best course of action? Unfortunately, the retailer I purchased the unit from is not replying to my queries.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
JC

Hi,
We have had the cleaner for a year and had no problems at all. But yesterday it was able to clean only for 5 min more or less and ran out of battery. I charged it over night and tried again, the same issue...
could you tell me why is it happening? Is there something we can do or it’s just normal that the battery life will decrease with time ?

We have had the robot force a year and had no problems but now the battery lasts much less ( 5 min) .
Could you tell me if there is anything we could do ?

Can this cleaner operate without connecting to wi fi?
Can you connect using 4G mobile?

Hi, does this work on dark carpets?

Our whole lounge room is carpeted with a very dark almost black carpet. Will this be a problem if I purchase a Xiaomi?

After over a year of wonderful service from my Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum, I can no longer connect it to my Wifi. Don't know what happened. The blue light is blinking like it's waiting to connect but, when I go through all the steps on the app to reconnect, nothing happens when I touch it. It's like it's frozen. The device is ticked but it does not appear in my Mi home screen as being connected. Help! I'm desperate! Is there a vacuum angel out there who can help? Thanks, Kathryn

Can I switch off the docking station after the robot has reach 100% full charge or do I have to let the unit stay on the docking station, power on?
