Review on Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S Global Robot Vacuum Cleaner, white by Dorota Lekka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Perhaps my review is a bit biased. Before that, I took another robot vacuum cleaner for almost the same price, with a bunch of good reviews on the market. So he went around the room without any system whatsoever. In one place he could drive 10 times, and in another, not a single one. He was not able to independently return to the base from the next room, and after some time he began to consider the black cells on the carpet as holes and refused to go there, after which he safely lay down on a shelf. After that purchase, I was disappointed in principle with robots, I decided that they were still far from fully autonomous operation. And this robot just seemed like a fairy tale in contrast, so to speak. I use it additionally as an alarm clock, it's noisy, but basically cleaning takes place when no one is at home, so this is not a problem. Still bring coffee in the morning)

Pros
  • Awesome device! Of course, it will never replace wet cleaning or even cleaning with a regular hand vacuum cleaner. Yes, it cannot collect dust in corners and other hard-to-reach places, but in other places it can! There is an application where he builds a map of the apartment, after which he can absolutely clean in your absence at least every day and is guaranteed to return to recharge, and this is ultimately what is required from a robot vacuum cleaner. In the application on the map, you can specify red zones without any additional stations and other things, you can set up scheduled cleaning, cleaning of individual rooms, and also select manual control. The robot first circles the entire room along the perimeter, then zigzags along this very perimeter, very meticulously circling around obstacles. That is, cleaning according to a clear scheme, does not miss anything.
Cons
  • The application is unstable, and you need to select the region "China", otherwise it will not work at all, since officially, apparently, the model for the 2022 is not supplied. Manual control only works with WiFi turned on and with a noticeable delay. I use it only if I need to bring the robot to a place and start spot cleaning there, and this is not very convenient. If you could poke a point on the map of the apartment - it would be just gorgeous. There is no 2022 language out of the box, perhaps it is being treated, but I use English and do not worry. The plug in my copy was Chinese, I had to buy an adapter separately.
